Poetry Article: Falling in to darkness

I am falling.
Down a dark hole.
An unseen hole.
A dark cold hole.
I feel the cold air around me.
I feel the cold hands reaching for me.
The cold eyes learing at me.
The smell of death in the air.
Not knowing where to turn.
Not knowing who to trust.

I am falling.
I feel the death aproaching me
I can smell it.
I can feel it.
I can almost taste it.
I know its near me.
Yet I am not afraid.
I do not care.
I welcome it with open arms.

I long for it.
I need it.
I want it very badly.
I deserve it.
I know this.
Yet I cry and scream.
I need to be and to feel loved.
All this hatred around me.
I cant take it anymore.
I am done.

I know I will not be messed.
I do not care.
I know that they will live one and forget me.
I do not care.
They will be better without me.
I care so much.
I love them all.
I need them all.
But in the end I will lose them.
I know this.
But I know they will be better off forgetting me.

I am sorry.
I never should have told anyone.
I needed someone to lean on.
I needed a kind word.
But all I did was hurt the people i love and care about.
The end is near I know this.
I just want to be heard
To be understood.
To be loved and wanted.

I love with monsters.
I am beaten.
I am broken.
I cry.
Kick.
Screams.
And yearn for my freedom.
I know I will never get that.
But I am grateful for every kind and loving word I receive.

The darkness is getting colder.
I can hear them calling me.
I can feel them getting closer.
I am getting scared.
I am crying.
I am screaming.
I am falling in to this darkness.
I reach out.
But no one is there to take me hand.

I am falling.
In to darkness.
I can feel the end as it aproaches.
The coldness.
I welcome it.
With open arms.

THE POEM

posted by juicyjossy9

Read alone...
I believe whatever is in store for us will be for us. The poem is very true, unfortunately. Make sure you read it.

CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish, for her boyfriend of three years, David Marsden, to propose to her. Then one day when she was out to lunch David proposed!
She accepted, but then had to leave because she had a meeting in 20 minutes. When she got to her office, she noticed on her computer she had some emails.
She checked it, the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had never gotten before. It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even...

Autumn Song by Paul Verlaine

posted by Lovetreehill

With long sobs
the violin-throbs
of autumn wound
my heart with languorous
and montonous
sound.

Choking and pale
When I mind the tale
the hours keep,
my memory strays
down other days
and I weep;

and I let me go
where ill winds blow
now here, now there,
harried and sped,
even as a dead
leaf, anywhere.

*************************************************

CHANSON D'AUTOMNE

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure.
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens,
Et je pleure.

Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
De çà, de là,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.

John Keats

(1795–1821)

Upon the sides of Latmos was outspread
A mighty forest; for the moist earth fed
So plenteously all weed-hidden roots
Into o’er-hanging boughs, and precious fruits.
And it had gloomy shades, sequestered deep,
Where no man went; and if from shepherd’s keep
A lamb strayed far a-down those inmost glens,
Never again saw he the happy pens
Whither his brethren, bleating with content,
Over the hills at every nightfall went.
Among the shepherds, ’twas believed ever,
That not one fleecy lamb which thus did sever
From the white flock, but pass’d unworried
By angry wolf, or pard with...

Utopia

posted by southern-belle

There once was a place where all was good

No poverty strife or fighting for food

A place call Utopia that lie on an isle

There once no war there, at least for a while

Then one day the land we loved so dear and true

Was overthrown by armies, first one then two

One from each country the armies did come

They admired Utopia, wanted to be shown how it was done

The Utopians showed them, as was their peaceful way

What they did on this isle from day to day

After much time spent the armymen found

It was much better here more safe, more sound

And so to Utopia there was to be flown

All the women and children, brought...

Examination of Conscience at Midnight by Charles Baudelaire

posted by Lovetreehill

Examination of Conscience at Midnight

The clock striking midnight
Ironically invites us
To call to mind what use we made
Of the day that is fleeing:
— Today, a fateful date,
Friday the thirteenth we have
In spite of everything we know
Lived the life of a heretic;

We have blasphemed Jesus,
The one God one cannot deny!
Like a parasite at the table
Of some monstrous Croesus,
We have, to please the brute,
Worthy vassal of the Demons,
Hurled insults at that which we love
And flattered what repulses us.

Servile hangman, we have saddened
The weak man, wrongfully despised,
Saluted enormous Folly,
Folly with the brow...

WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE

posted by juicyjossy9

Where
Do We Draw
The Line

On your palm an endless wonder
The lines that speak the truth without a sound
And in your eyes a waste of tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down

So why do we keep up this charade?
And how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait?
What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't be my design
Tell me where do we draw the line?
Tell me where do we draw the line?

The dance of flames and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard
The weight of loneliness stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird

So why don't...

SLEEP LAST NIGHT

posted by juicyjossy9

I couldn't sleep last night
I laid awake
and wished you were here
I wished that I had more time
to make more mistakes
to make them louder and clearer
I couldn't sleep last night
finding it quite inviting
I just couldn't sleep last night

not a light was on
as I held these words in mind
of you and ... what you do to me

I can follow the room
I close my eyes
it didn't move
if I was only stronger

I wish that I were stronger here
referring through my heart's poetry to you dear
cause I didn't sleep last night
not for a lack of trying
I just didn't sleep last night
by the light of day may my dreams be waking time

Poems

posted by cutiegirl01

Scaired and alone,
sad and depressed,
this is what i know best,
Chilled to the bone,
Your heart cold as ice,
dust to dust,
you arent someone i trust,
Water so deep,
This pain will only end,
When I sleep.

When I smiled,
When I laughed,
It was because I thought of death.
When I cried,
When I screamed,
It was because my death was to slow.
When I smiled my final smile,
No one cried,
No one cared.
I grabbed a knife and a slip of paper,
I wrote my final words,
I sat in my room staring at the knife.
I heard a laugh,
I heard a cry,
Turned to see my family right by my side.
I ran away,
I’m scare to death,
I grab my knife but...

DESIRE

fatal velocity, comes on with a rush
overpowering, gives the final push

what never moves, is never still
who has the final word
it holds the world in a single pill
and all life rendered absurd

if you …
kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial
but can you run all your life?
kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar
you can run but not hide!
so run for your life

a false sincerity, a liar and a thief
my pulse and memory, a comfort within grief
what never moves, is never still, who has the final word
it holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

if you …
kill sweet desire, faith...

SLEEP

posted by juicyjossy9

sleep

hear your heartbeat
beat a frantic pace
and it's not even seven am
you're feeling the rush of anguish settlin’
you cannot help showin’ them in
so hurry up then
or you'll fall behind and
they will take control of you
and you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
fickle words crowdin’ your mind

so
sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushin’ in
and carry you over to a new mornin’

try as you might
you try to give it up
seems to be holdin’ on fast
its hand in your hand
a shadow over you
a beggar...
