Brittn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I remember my past.It haunts my every thought.It grips my heart with its cold sickly fingers.Its smile is evil....sinister. Its eyes are hollow and dark,it has no soul. I look to my future.It welcomes my every stumbling step.It holds me in its warm embrace.Its smile is a mystery....unknown. Its eyes are filled with pride and love, its the hope of a better life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander19 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) As walked through the wintry forest,I had come to a tall mountain that towered about 12,000ft,I knew climbing it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't care,It was my intent to climb all the way to the top. As I walked up the natural pathways,Rocks barraged the area,I knew I had only limited time to ascend the rest of the mountain,When I got to the halfway point,Rocks continued to barrage the area around me. As I was approaching the top,A taste of victory came to order,Suddenly a powerful avalanche erupted,The wind howled at the sound of the neighboring beast,The sounds only foreshadowed the nightmare of things to come. The story of the grass is greener on the other side,Beyond the mountains is paradise,It is nothing more than a misnomer,Climbing the mountain to reach the other side only brought you to one destination,Another volcanic obstacle,A beast at bay waiting to commence vengeance,I am the beast at bay.========================================================================== Looking back at our past,We don't always make the best choices,We choose to forget,Or wish we could change it. We ask ourselves the questions "why me" and "what if",If you had done something differently,It wouldn't be you,It would be someone else,Asking a different set of questions. Life often presents us with a linear sequence of choices,Take it or leave it is the only choice given,It often makes me wonder,Is the concept of free will real,Have our choices been made for us because of who we are?========================================================================== This was my first attempt at writing poetry in a strictly poetic environment, so let me know what you guys think of it, thanks. :) Edited February 2, 2012 by Commander19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 WHO I am.... Its the hills laden with snow in winter of North Carolina.Its the fireflies in June on a hot Oklahoma Summer night.Its the party at night on every Louisiana street.Its the ocean waters kissing my toes on a Georgia beach. They are the places the grew me.They are the places that hold my history.They are the places that I cherish.They are the places that I call home. When I think about my childhood, I think of many things.I think of the pain and sorrowI think of how I was forced to be an adult too soon. But, I some how always over look what went on around me, and not really see how lucky I amto have been where I have been. These places are filled with good and bad memories.These places hold the truth to who I am.These places are what made me and what break me. It is but my final years here, that I have truly understood who I am...and why I am.And to these places and to those people, I thank for what they have done, continue do, and will always do; Make me stronger and proud of WHO I am. --Commander, I enjoyed them both :) -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander19 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Dreams have been a concept of humanity since the dawn of civilization,Something everyone strives to fulfill,Whether they are complex or simplistic,Everyone has them,Even if they don't know it. From having a family,To living wealthy,And everything in between,Some achieve these dreams,Believe they are "happily ever after",Dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you aren't looking. | Thanks, for the feedback Brittn :) | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDNA Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 A Silver Dreamfrom SilverDNA No! No nightmares counting here. Think of nicer things and have a beer.Dreams of orange we should spreadGloomy things we should not dread. Look the horizon is already turning silver.the sun, rises up across the river,Panting orange all the walls and arches,Soft wind blows through the larches. Oh what peaceful sight,Now I wonder if it is right.What sweet music the river brings.To dream of such pleasant things. On silver wings, down the stream,send for you this little dream.Painting pictures deep inside your mind.In hope my rhymes where nice and kind.

Flintlockecole Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 - In Pieces -"Fix Bayonets" the man screamedThe Artillery screams a symphony of deathSuddenly they stop, a whistle blows.A man charge out, a scarred field lie before him.A wall of lead cuts him down.A world he almost forgot about flashes by,the cobblestone streets he walked, the bakery he frequented, the lady he loved, sudden he mind flashed back to the horrid reality around him.Blood flowed from mouth, those he served with lie dead 'round him.He died before his time, but before that one last question rang through his head"How did it come to this".

tokyobiohazard Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 After falling for what seems like ages,Descending deeper and deeper every day,A pair of arms clasp around me...I smile to myself.He always did catch me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maharg67 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) If you have already posted a poem, or some item, in its own topic you could copy and paste it to this topic. Together we could all keep this topic 'bumped' to keep it on Page 1 of Druid's Garden. Thanks! :thumbsup: :tongue: :biggrin: :dance: :geek: :yes: :wub: ;D 8) Edited February 3, 2012 by Maharg67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
