Let's see your poems!

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm curious as to if anybody writes poems or whatever. I'll start

Where is the spider when the church bell rings
Where is victory when the fat lady sings
Where are your empires when the world lies dead
Where is your wealth when bullets fill your head
Where is your god when everybody cries
Where is your mind when the last king dies
Where will you be when the towers all fall?
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all
Where are the heroes when the politician lies
Where is the loser when the victors all cry
Where will you be when the towers all fall?
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all
Where is the nation when our leader is dead
Where will death raise it’s head
Where is the spider when the towers start to fall?
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all
Where are the lovers when they grow old
Where is the fire when all is cold
Where was the spider when the church bell rang
Where was the loser when the fat lady sang
Where were you when the towers all fell?
Now dash away, dash away, dash straight to hell

There once was a forum for fuzz
Ballin' donkeys was all the buzz
Then came a poetry thread
But it ended up dead
'Cuz pedalheads iz all that we was.

I like potatoes.
My pants are made of taters.
Damn, I ate my pants.

@Trifarce: Interesting. I like the repeated line. I feel like it was borrowed from somewhere else, which I always appreciate.


Here's three of mine. I don't claim to be a poet.

Untitled
NSFW: show
Dripping tears from a statue's face,
Droplets falling mixed with rain,
The stoney face to mask the pain

Sliding up the steeple slope,
A gargoyle tangled in hair like vine,
I can feel it inside my lip

I fell into the ocean,
I fell into the sea,
I feel another pushing,
I feel another breeze

Looking through the mirror glass,
Another face I can't see past,
Push the clay to mold ahead

I breathe in your thoughts,
Tattoo'd with freckled hearts,
Connecting dots on each other's arms

I fell into the ocean,
I fell into the sea,
I feel another pushing,
I feel another breeze


I fell into the ocean,
I fell into the sea,
I feel another pushing,
And it's pushing right past me


Mixed Signals
NSFW: show
I fell of the skyway
Lost inside my head
Snakes fell out my mouth
And they twisted on the ground

But before I knew another
And it showed me who I am
Walk ahead with a new me
Or else I will be killed

Everyone said I was another
But they knew who I had killed
Now and again there's a missing piece
Sterling silver liquid pill

Tangled thoughts from another way
Tangled insides from the guilt
Sprinkle ashes like salt leaves
Because former has been killed


Tacks
NSFW: show
I want to breathe you in
The feeling of your heart in my lungs
Your pulse pressing
against the walls of my organs

The brittle bones we used
To hold ourselves together
The last in a long line
Of twisted thoughts of better

I tore an eagle from my eye
And in it's wings, I felt like home
A place I had forgotten
Except inside my rotten bones

I have a hole inside my heart
About the size of a tack
But from that hole, my thoughts forth flow
Erupting from my fingers.

I'll seize a day tomorrow
I'll seize a day tomorrow
And when the days are over
I'll seize again, another.

I found some stuff I wrote awhile back. I used to love writing, but I've had "writer's block" or something of the sort for like 5 years.

They don't really have any specific structure/rhyme scheme/whatever, I just kind of wrote until I felt like it was finished.

Also, I'm gonna continue the porn tag trend. I like it.

NSFW: show
this was me
and what life was.
stretching young arms
to embrace
a stronger set.

this was love
on a screen
of crashing pixels,
where dreams
came easy
and the dead
merely slept
forever.

this was a promise
behind the shed
in winter,
where i lost
a friend
and forgot
how to make
it better.

this is me
and what life is.
stretching older arms
and hoping
to embrace
a stronger set.


NSFW: show
we danced alone
through fields at night.
back and forth
beneath the moon,
back and forth,
beneath the stars.
in this moment,
i am the breeze
that sways your limbs,
and i love the things
that i've done wrong.
on our backs,
waiting for white hands
to steal sky lit hues,
then drop them in oceans
to drown again.
welcoming sleep,
while the waking shake hands.
breathe easy,
and dream steady.
the night is on fire.
