My poems.

The two links below are other poets whose poetry and mine fit together well, IMO. :) Spreading the word about these two and vice versa

C+C Threaddie :)

Artist
He sat alone.
The roses cried
As he sat alone.

The cold embraced
Him
As he sat alone.

The roses cried
As he walked alone.

Death welcomed
Him walking
Alone.

Roses
When she cried
Roses fell
When she laughed
Roses fell
When she smiled
Roses fell
When she died
White roses fell.

Child
I am lost in
Blue,
Tossed on the
Boundless
Sea
Of his deep, bright eyes.


Son of Death
He rides
The tide of Death
To his father's side
He cried to his father
"Feed me, feed me!"
He consumed innocents' souls
And smiled
As the blood ran down his face.


Vampire
Love is a bloody rose,
Love is a dead bird,
Love is nonexistant
We delude ourselves
To the fact
We need people...
To feed.

Death
Death is unbeing
Death is unliving
Death is a release
From the drudgery of life's dull mirror,
Reflections of unbeing, unliving.

In the Mirror
In the mirror
In the mirror I am an angel,
In the mirror I am a demon,
In the mirror I am anyone,
Except me.

Unborn
There is a dark place
A dark place,
A warm place
We want for nothing
In that perfect world
In the Darkness of the Light.


My Heart
All my love is death,
My kisses hoarfrost
My heart is ice
I am life-in-death
And death-in-life
I am.

Death's Queen, Death's Slave
My soul is shattered
And I am scattered
Across Death's boundless realm
I gasp to life and feel a tug
I will never be whole
Death's caress, Death's kiss
Have stolen my heart
I have left my dwelling
And can return no more.
He has taken my heart, my soul, my mind,
I can never be whole
Until I die and am crowned with bones
His Queen, his slave
It matters not to me
My heart and I are reunited
And we are whole.
Death's caress, Death's kiss will never steal
My heart again.


Flirt/My Suicide
I was surrounded by black
The pull of the Styx soothed me
I was in control; I flirted with Death
My head broke the surface
And I sucked
In rotting air.
I had felt Death's chilly hand before
This I now sought.
How many times
Can I cheat Death?
Every drop of blood, every breath
Every dive....
My time is limited
I am a marked woman.
One day, Death will catch me
And hold me tight.
So I flirt and hope
Falling through rotting air
Into the cradle
The dive felt different, wrong
Raven had left
I was alone.
No-one could see me scream
The bubbles cheated me of life
And Death caught me and held me tight.


The Turning
Before:
I remember playing football with my brother
I remember discussing boys with Anna
I remember his touch....
All gone.
In one hour, my life was gone
An agony on my throat
A salty flow of life in my mouth
Another agony
After:
Clearer, sharper,
The scent
My unwanted beauty
My eyes
My teeth
And the urge to feed.
I was powerful
I was immortal
I was everything I ever wanted to be
And yet I had lost everything.


Single Grey Flower
A single grey flower drooped by my bedside,
Withered, pathetic, lifeless.
Grey
Like my life
A petal dropped from the flower
And rotted in my hand
It was too much to take.
With a heavy heart, I asked the nurse to shoot me up once more
Everything went fuzzy
........
I came to
The single grey flower
Was gone, replaced by a single red rose.
The clouds had scrolled back
Allowing me to view the watery Sun
My heartmate appeared
With a ring in his hand
For the first time, I felt hope.

Untitled
A pain in my wrist
Soothed by his tongue and his teeth
I fed him
He drank me and loved me
He wanted me.

Immortal's Death
Until you have lived a thousand times
Until you have seen your lovers die
Until you have lost everything and gained everything
Until you have felt Death's kiss
Until you have rejected Day's embrace
And turned your face to the Dark within
You will never understand evil.
You will never be immortal.

Yes, Linkin Park played a big part in the creative process.
Wounds
These wounds they will not heal
These scars they will not fade
My wounds are beneath my skin
In my mind.

They will not heal; I pick and gnaw
Obsessive. I am afraid
Of losing these wounds
My wounds are my memories
I've become so numb
I can feel you there, in my wounds
I want to be more like me and less like you
But I want these wounds
Circles.
Everything leads back to you
I want you back. I want to kill you.

Tears
A veil of tears
Covers the world
She weeps,
On her marred world.

Isolation
Everybody feels isolated.
Isolation is our release
Our islands of 'peace and tranquility'.
But soon our blessing becomes our curse
We lose ourselves
In our aloneness
Our isolation.
We live more in our minds than out of them
From the rush of real life.
But we must live and love, carry on
Walk the dog
Feed the kids
Gossip, rumourmonger, flirt.
Life goes on.
But a woman who sleeps with ghosts
Often wakes with them.

Music
There are many different types of music
Emo, Grunge, Pop, Rock, Rap, Metal,
Alternative, Folk, Jazz, Swing, to name a few
We all dedicate ourself to one music.
For me, it's the beating of your heart
And your gasps of pain and pleasure
As I bite you.

So I thought as I lay bleeding
It chatters, gurgles, giggles and mocks
As mine drained away
I was content.
I had provided what He needed
For Him to continue on
As I lay dying.

Blood and Tears, stanza two:
Screams overhead, screams ahead, screams inside.
The death-filled shells injured so many
And the mud got the rest.
So our nights were filled with bodies
Our days were filled with screams
A man can only take so many horrors
Before he too, screams.
A quick burst of whining bullets
A shock of pain, a spray of blood
And I joined the sleeping dead.

Night Terror
The ring on my finger drops to the ground,
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city
The veins of which have broken me down
Morning is mocking me and Night is my mother.
I go to my lover yet I find he's wrapped in all manner of sins
These are the reasons I don't know you well, these are the reasons I think I am ill.

This is a collaborative work between me and Pyro6597

Losing my Sanity
It was a dark night
Filled with my deepest fears
As the shadows of the night
Embrace my soul
I lose my sanity
I lose it all.

I spun in black cobwebs
Surrounded by the taunts
Of my demons
No one could save me
Summon me from the hell
In which I found myself lost.

The screams
The pain
They all spin around me
Trapped in this hell
Without being able to clearly see.

Alone in this darkness
I find myself tempted
By my inner demons
When I thought it all ended.

I blindly stumbled through mocking laughter
Away from them
And their alluring dreams
I retreated to the aloneness of solitude
And screamed.

Just putting various stanzas together, nothing new....

Blood and Tears
Blood and tears filled my mouth
Blood. Tears. Tears. Blood.
I was just another young man
In the mud and stink of war
The dead slept with the living
And everyday I died a little more
Trees ripped at the sky, bare.
Weapons littered the ground, grasped in dead men's hands.
I have lost my mind here.

Screams overhead, screams ahead, screams inside.
The death-filled shells injured so many
And the mud got the rest.
So our nights were filled with bodies
Our days were filled with screams
A man can only take so many horrors
Before he too, screams.
A quick burst of whining bullets
A shock of pain, a spray of blood
And I joined the sleeping dead.

Feeding Time
A quick one, I thought
The blade slashed down
Into my wrist
My blood pulsed out
And my vampire fed.
A tingling
A release
A sensation.

A pain in my wrist
Soothed by his tongue and his teeth
I fed him
He drank me and loved me
He wanted me.

Truth and Lies
There are lies in truths
And truths in lies
The problem is working out which is which.

My First Heartbreak
And when I saw you, kissing that girl, my heart, it shattered...
So I went to my wardrobe and threw away the colours,
Because wearing black looks mysterious but it didn't impress my mother.
My friends all said "Whatever,
You'll find someone better
And I heard she did some really nasty stuff,
Down at the park with Michael..."
But when I saw you, kissing that girl, my heart, it shattered...

Chocolate Kisses
I need chocolate kisses
But I need blood too
I like how you taste
Even when I don't bite you.

Dead Weight
You were a dead weight
Dragging me down
You cheated and lied to me
Even when I saw you with her
You denied it.
You smiled and I would come back, begging for more.
God, I was a masochist.
No more.
You are nothing to me now.
I will never look at you again.
I'm moving on.

thanks OOC forumites, especially alex, spelly, SoT, smalls, ShadowSpawn and rjpwapo.

Winter Trees
Everything is so clear in winter
That's why I love it so much
No leaves to hide the bleak beauty
All the world can see it
Nowhere to hide,
No secrets veiled by leaves
Just bare branches.
In summer, the trees hide
Under leafy dresses
And blush as Winter
Strips them off once again.

Dying
Life is a chaotic whirlpool
Death is peaceful
It's just the transition that's troublesome
In the end, everybody dies
So let yourself let go
And face the greatest mystery
You will ever know
With an open mind.
So when Death stretches out her hand
Go willingly.
Go quickly.
Go without kicking and screaming.
Go with dignity.

Guilty Innocent
I plead "Not Guilty"
I was drunk
I was mad
I was changing
It's not my fault...
He should have stayed away from me!
I knew I had done it
I had stabbed him
I remembered the blade sinking sickeningly deep into his stomach
His blood pulsing out
Across my hands
Instinctively, I raised them to my face
And licked them.
So I was guilty
So I was innocent.

Pain and Pleasure
Pain and pleasure
Go hand in hand
Forever linked
You cannot have one without the other
Pleasure and pain.
Pain and pleasure.
....Where have I heard that before?

Friendship
Someone once said that friends
Were people who walked in on your life when everybody else walks out.
Friends are special
Everlasting, eternal
Treasure every moment with your friends
Because you're a long time dead.

^;) for someone special

Knife
I looked at it
In my hand, graceful and shimmery
And wondered
Why so graceful?
An instrument of death, of blood and killing?
So sleek and beautiful?
Why is the easy path the darkest?
I walk in the light, yet my soul is in shadow, thinking such thoughts as this...

Parted and Joined in Poppies
So long and good night
My darling
My lover.
Where you have gone, I can't follow yet.
I'll join you soon
In the bloody poppy fields
Where snakes wind
And wolves howl to herald arrivals
An honour guard of wolves
For you, my sweet.
You, clad in blood red poppies.
I'll join you soon.

Gods of Today
Vapid Celebs.
Stoned Musicians.
Fast Cars.
Money.
You got it all, you're a modern god.
You got some, you're a demigod or a suckup.
You got none, you're dirt.
The old gods have fallen,
Toppled from Heaven, Nirvana or Olympus by their.....children.

I do not worship any
Vapid celebs are surplus to requirements.
Stoned musicians make bad music.
Fast cars are a frivolity.
Money is a necessity.
Like I said, the old gods have fallen
Replaced by ones that show how shallow we are, mean less and are needed more.
So that's ok, because I never believed in them anyway.

Politics and History
"Politics are the key to our future" said one man.
But history holds the keys to knowledge
And so without it there can be no future.
So I work
Surrounded by the weight of ages
The accumulated knowledge which the future will add to
I'm conscious of the fact that my future becomes my past as I walk through the ages.

Death Magnetic
Death has many metaphors
Whirlpool, The Dark, The Devourer Of All, Eternal Night, Eternal Sleep, Nothingness.
It's all wrong,
Death attracts us and repels us, but if we get too close, we stick.
Death Magnetic.
Metallica got something right. :)

note: the smilie is part of the poem

Funeral
There she lay, in her box
My whole life, shattered in one brief instant.
My sister.
Her lips, full as in life
But blue.
Her skin, pale as new snow
And just as cold.
Her eyelids, reddish brown, the colour of dried blood.
Her cat-bell choker circling her neck, forever silenced.
Wait...
Those were my lips, that was my choker.
What was happening?
I watched as they committed me to the ground.
Her lips and my lips opened in a soundless scream.
I fainted.
The sound of a weeping mother roused me from my stupor.
Our mother.
My mouth and her mouth twisted in disdain.
We thought, Mama, we're meant for the flies.

Heartache
We had our problems, you and me
But we always worked them out
Got back together.
So why, whenever I look away, are you "off for a ciggie" with her?
And why do you stare through me or past me?
Fine. That's fine.
Sleep with her.
I got myself some sense.
It's telling me to leave, get someone new.
Like a fool, I listen to my heart, not my head.
So you still stare through me or past me.
And my heart is so ripped and shredded I don't think I can love again.
You're a drug, bad for me, but I can't get enough.
Sound familiar?
Hell yeah.

Puddles
I like puddles.
I smile, they smile.
I laugh, they laugh.
And if I cry...
Well, they don't mind getting wet.
