@ Rie- Another nice poem! Anke's right about the grammatical errors in it, but other than that it's very good!

Well, I have a poem around here somewhere, but I don't know where it is. XD
I'll edit this post or something when I do find it.

@ Riiko- Welcome!!! And of course it's okay to start posting here! I'd love to read some of your poems! And where on the intro page is member misspelled? (That word is on there a lot.)

Ah, I still can't find the poem... I'll try to post it soon (As soon as I can find it that is XD).

@ Riiko - Welcome! Thanks for pointing out the error, I'm sorry about that. I'm not the best at spelling. :"P Anyway, welcome to the club, I'll add you to the first post and fix the spelling as soon as I can! :D


Sleepless

The clock is ticking
a methodical rhythm
it's driving me cray
making my head spin
and my legs kick
I roll about anxiously awaiting sleep to befall me
but drooping eyes come not.

I lay awake with lyrics and songs
pounding through my head
the noise of the fan
makes my ears want to bleed
I want to sleep
I need to sleep
I have to dream of a better tomorrow

Another song has played
and a sleepy voice calls out over the radio
the moon shines outside my window casing odd shadows on my pillows.

My hand flies through the air and hits the bed beside me
I am counting sheep that have horrible teeth
and burning eyes
they are coming to get me...
like a bad memory
they are disguised as innocent creatures
but they are nightmares

My alarm clock sounds
its horrible blare
and I sit up
great bags beneath my eyes and pull myself across my room
to face the daylight once again.

@ Rikko - The current topic of conversation is listed on the first post, as for a theme for poems... there really isn't one just post what ever you feel like!

Hi! I'm Wizard and I'm thinking of joining! Nice to meet you all.

Nickname: Wizard of Words
I am a writer. I weave magic with words.

About the issue: I have fallen in love with words before. Yet I'm so young I have yet to experience love. I believe you can write love poems if you have fallen in love with words. Haha.
_________________________________
My first poem to start with:

Title: It's Inside Us


I do ponder really
The mechanism of this wonder
Of Its inner workings
Yet never have I found so much an answer

Inside all humans it hold its part
Masters of science and of art
To comprehend it they struggle so hard
It is called the human heart

@Riiko - I love how your poem is about something so fun and random. Most people write poems about love and hate, and a deeper sense of happiness, your poem tells a story that has a meaning behind it! Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it all! Something we all have to learn at some point!

@Wizard - *Smiles* I knew it would be a matter of time before you stumbled across my humble little poetry club, after I read your works in the writer's gild. (Not to sound stalkerish or anything.) I'm happy to welcome you aboard!!!

I love the way you proved your point with that little poem! It's is in a way, about love, and yet you say that you don't need to feel love to write about it. You, it would seem, are proof of that. It's a lovely poem really!

@anke-sempai - Heheh glad to be on the team. I wouldn't mind to have you as my stalker. I'd welcome it haha.


Oh wait I read your profile. i'm 20 so I'm older than sempai haha. Anyway, that previous poem I wrote, I didn't have the theme "love" in mind. It's very general that the theme and deeper meaning actually depends on the person who read it. The first thing that came to their mind and how they interpret it, and how they associate it with themself and their surrounding.

The one who decides how lovely the poem is, is actually the reader. It depends on their inner self. If they are beautiful internally, then they poem is beautiful. I mean, you can take the poem as dark and gloomy, since people can't understand hearts of others, conflict is born.

Yet you can also find it a light hearted poem, since not understanding it is what makes things fun right? I quote this line from Persona 3 : "There is both joy and wonder, in coming to understand another".

From this I know that anke-sempai loves the theme "love" haha. Perhaps sempai is in love now? Sempai has a pure mind, and lives a happy life. You read the poem, the poem reads you. Heheh.

That, was a demonstration of magic of words. Once again, glad to be on the team.

A lot of action happened here last night (Of course it happens while I'm sleeping XD).

@ Riiko- That's a really great poem! The story is cute, and it also has a meaning!

@ Wizard- Welcome to the poetry club! And that's a nice poem too!

Well, I managed to find the poem (Finally XD). It was inspired by the song Braveheart by The Gomband (From the BRS OVA).



Braveheart

Why do we love,
Why do we hate,
How do we have these qualities in us?
It is because we have a "braveheart."

We can't stop loving,
Neither can we stop hate.
For our passions burn brightly.
It is because we have a "braveheart."

We are kind,
We are cruel.
It is only normal human qualities,
It is because we have a "braveheart."

Some live to save,
Some live to kill,
And this separates the heroes from the villains,
It is because we have a "braveheart."

There is the good,
And where there is good there is bad.
But yet we still live on,
It is because we have a "braveheart."

It doesn't matter whether one is a hero,
Or if one is a villain,
We are humans and we all live on.
It is because we have a "braveheart."




I don't think this is as good as my other ones, and you can see how I was obsessed with the song while writing this. XD

@ Wizard-San - Well, I think I've learned something from you :D Haha you have four years of experience on me it seems! Yes, I was in love, and I'm kinda flattered that you think I'm pure and happy. I guess by standards I would be kinda on the innocent side. :">

@ Toyumi - It's a good poem!

Hello everyone... I'm Chaotic, and I would love to join as a writer... however, I would like to apologize ahead of time for morbidity and violence in my poems that may lead you to believe I am insane and or scare you to death :'D.

CHAOTIC!!!!! *glomps* I'm glad to have you here!!!! *Turns to rest of club and nods* Yeah you might want to watch out some of her stuff can be pretty out there, but it's really, really good! (Yeah, I know her in case you didn't get that from my post lol :"P)

NEW TOPIC!!! Go check it out on the first page everyone!

@ Chaotic- Welcome! I can't wait to read some of your poems, however violent or crazy they might be. (And if Anke says your poems are good then they must be good!)

@ Anke- Thanks!

As for the new topic, I usually write about things that are meaningful to me in some way. Usually they relate to love or separations, since I think those topics are good ones that provide a lot of lessons, but then there are some others like death and time that I try to incorporate into my poems as well.

@ chaotic - Welcome! I'm very intrigued when you said how violent your works are. Can't wait to read them. Did you know that violent writing even appeared in Clannad visual novel? Haha I'm sure you guys wouldn't believe that. It's true, they wrote it as a joke but it works really well that I got nausea from imagining it. Sorry to get off topic. Welcome aboard!

@ toyumi-sempai - That's a great poem. It resembles my previous poem too. Hmm I'm pondering the real meaning of the word Brave Heart. Maybe I can get inspired!

Topic of Discussion: I usually write about....humans. I mean, I write about what people are like, how to describe them, what makes them human, the reasoning behind their actions. Why? Because I'm always watching people, how they live, how they interact and associate with others. NO! I'm not a stalker!

Hehe, thank you for the warm welcome all~ Since you all seem to be rather interested in the morbid darkness of my writings, I am more than happy to indulge those here~ I will warn however I am a /very/ long poet. My poems average around seven to nine stanzas with four lines a piece for normal ones... the one that I am about to post to give you all a taste of just how far /down/ the rabbit hole goes... well, it's... seventeen stanzas I believe? Anywho, enough rambling xDD;; Here is....

The Vicious Cycle:

"Dig in past the flesh so thin,
Watch the blood flow with your sadistic grin,
Move to crack the bone,
And listen to my pained and disoriented groan.

Why are you doing this to me you freak?!
From my eyes do the tears endlessly leak,
God, how much of this pain do I have to take?
Dig into the torso, snap a rib, listen to the screams I make...

Why won't you wipe that sick grin off your face?!
I know there is no chance though, it stays in it's place.
Blood pours from my mouth and drips onto the ground...
Drip... drip... drip... the endless sickening sound.

Cough, cringe, and shake,
It's not over yet, there is still much more to break.
You laugh at my pain, pick up the rusted scalpel once more.
I look around, and the only clear thing I can see is the bloody floor.

Draw my eyes from the floor with your twisted taunt,
Is that my bone in your hand which you so shamelessly flaunt?
I feel sick, it's all going fuzzy... I can't see...
Inject more adrenaline, add another IV to pump blood into me...

You want me to live through it all,
To death or sleep you won't let my eyelids fall,
You want me awake, you want me to suffer all this pain,
For from it you get some sick, twisted gain.

The body trembles involuntarily from these things,
Another crack, another scream, "Listen to how prettily she sings!"
Cry out, beg for no more of these experiments on you,
"Aww, but you have only been through a minor few!"

Bite my tongue and hope to drown on blood,
But my throat it does not flood.
"Oh, we'll fix that my pretty little toy..."
I try to see the face of the person but all I see is a smile oh-so coy...

Gauze the wound, drain my attempt to die.
Flip to the other side, "This won't hurt... much," you lie.
Slice the skin from the spine and expose it,
At the pain and sight of mangled flesh and muscle I throw a fit.

What in the world is being done?!
And why does he find this so fun!?
Cry that I can take no more and hear his sigh.
"Fine, fine... then sing for me one last time..." I can only think... why?

A hand is plunged into a wound which causes a scream,
Flip the body over again, at me I can see him beam.
"Good girl! Good, good..." Shuffle away, and oddly I'm reaching out...
He comes back and looks down at me with a playful pout.

"Thought I left you? Oh no no my pretty little dear!"
"I need to patch you up and move you elsewhere, can't just leave you here!"
I feel relieved, hoping maybe it will be to a better place,
But I think not based on the sadistic grin on his face.

Bandage the wounds, inject some morphine but not enough...
"Ah! Don't worry dear! It's quite enough, your body is rather tough!"
Nod and hope obedience will get me somewhere better than here,
Better than this place I've already learned to fear...

He picks me up in his arms and carries me down winding halls,
To a room with colorless walls,
Soon enough to be stained with red...
I note there is no furniture, no bed...

"You should be quite cozy here!" He states as if factually.
I would complain, but I note it is better than death actually...
Or so I thought, so I kept quiet...
Plus, in my condition I can't quite fight and riot.

Long chains hang from the wall and shackle my wrists,
The metal scrapes the wounds, causing my hands to ball up into fists,
Soon shackles are on my ankles too...
But I don't care, I still keep quiet.... what else can I do?

And so starts the never ending days of torture and pain,
And I feel I'm going insane...
I wish I could just be dead...."
Those were the words that she left on once colorless walls, written in red...

@ Wizard- Thanks! And I hope you get inspired from it (It would mean a lot to me for someone to be inspired by my poem... That was inspired by a song. XD)

@ Chaotic- Your poem is very, very long. XD
And yeah, I see what you mean by your poems making you seem insane. That poem scared me a bit. XD
But it's still a nice poem!

@ Rie- Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
