Just push past my barrier why don't you?
Make me starve in your insanity,
Selfishness-your insanity,
Tear drops leaking from my eyelids,
Every drop,
A drop of pain leaking flames,
Devoworing stillness,
Nothing seems alive,
Someone save me from your bittersweet insanity,
Cold quenching blood runs through your viens,
Through them pain,
Someone save you from your bittersweet insanity.


----------------------------------------------------------------


Take me away with you,
Hide me,
Love me,
Break my bounds,
Which keep me here,
In this dark casim,
Save me from my bitterness,
This darkness which clouds my mind,
Like a vampire sucking my blood away,
Im dryed up,
Take me away with you,
Save me.

ooo il enter and theres my enteries. I may change one I may not. It depends on if i can write anymore now--since im working on a novel or story at the momoment. :D

Okay, I rarely write poetry, but I do have one. It was actually written as a fanfic (James Norrington about Elizabeth), but it could be taken any way.



For you, I will lose my composure.
For you, I won’t know what to say.
For you, I will face my most terrible fears.
For you, I have lived ‘til this day.

For you, I will risk my own safety.
For you, I will put forth all haste.
For you, I will disregard all laws and orders.
For you, it will not be a waste.

For you, I will sail o’er the ocean.
For you, I will search through the night.
For you, I will go without sleep or nutrition.
For you, I will tirelessly fight.

For you, I will see my own failure.
For you, I will right what is wrong.
For you, I will give the one thing I desire.
For you, I will evermore long.

For you, I will learn to let go.

Don't Go


By: TrueNarnian

You walk to your
Death with a stern
face and pride,
I watch in the
Sahdows as I
quietly Cry
I look at your face,
it looks nither sad
or glad. You look
sort of troubled,
as you walk slowly
though this land
Your Proud head
drooped, sunken low
to the earth, makes
me Cry at the sight
As you stop and
look up, with monster's
so near, I hide
behind the bushes
to watch in Fear
With a sreaming laugh
and a knife in hand, the
One who will kill you,
is drawing near at hand.
"Why doesn't he fight back?"
I whisper to myself as they
bound you and taunt you
with shrieks and laughs.
The Knife raises's above you,
and with a joyous laugh,
the Knife falls and smotes you.
I whisper "Don't Go...
No! Dont kill him please!"
Its too late now there is
nothing to be done, as the
monsters scatter, and flee through
the Wood.
With sobs and tears, I walk near you,
to see your face, as I never knew



Im gonna lose...but oh well :p

Here's my poems. Let me know what you guys think. My first one is kind of based one the struggles all people face. My second on is humorous. I got the idea from how my cat treats me, and how my sister, Eldarwen's own cat treats her :lol:

Disclaimer: PLEASE NO ONE COPY MY POEMS!!!! I worked extremely hard on them.

The Darkness, which used to war on my mind

By: Lydia King

---------------------------------------------------------

Far away in the gloom of my mind was a thought, which I hid from others
Every night it grew on me a haunting presence that make me cry
When I was young this thrashing demon was a part of my soul
It used me ruined my life
Made me wish I could loose my breath and fall into its fiery pit
I weeped as the chains grew tighter
Fighting till my soul grew faint
Soon I was close to giving into this hell
Every thought in my mind was bent towards my own destruction
Till one day something changed
I felt these shackles that bond me fall off me
Looking up I glanced upon a wondrous sight
There before my eyes was a man
He smiled at me with his eyes full of love, and concern
Taking away the shackles I felt the deathing thoughts in my heart leave my mind
Looking at me with those warm smiling eyes he spoke. “There will be no more thought of blood.”
Something about him reminded me of a dream
There had been a savior who was in my life when I was young
He held me close comforting me
But then I fled him because of lies
Now he has come back to save me from my own fate
There I wept into his arms till my tears went dry
Then I felt renewed the shadow was gone
I felt peace like I once did before I fled
Like I was living again that demon that wore on my mind for so long was gone
Now, yes now I was free
Free
Free from anger, which derived me towards those shadows
Free from pity that made me weak
Free from the invisible mockery which I thought was there
Now I feel the warm rays of the sun and believe that never again will darkness haunt my life

My Human Pet, and I

By: Lydia King

---------------------------------------------------------

It is 7 o’clock AM
Time for my human to serve me
Now usually they’re in bed sleeping
Which I have no idea why they sleep
Night is the perfect time to prowl for goodness sake
But then again they are strange race
So I jump on top their soft perch
Let claws out to greet their bed sheets
Then by kneading my paws into their back my human stirs
Shooting up, looking about with sweat on their faces they look so frightened
Then they look down at me
I smile a very cute and innocent smile
Soon it gets through their weak mind that I am hungry
Jumping off their perch they walk slowly out of my room
Yawning they look for my food
Making sure they don’t slack I rub my soft body against their legs, stepping on their paws from time to time
For you see humans love it when we give them affection
It’s the best way to get them to behave
Glancing down at me they smile, and take a cup of food to my room
To be sure they don’t slack I lead the way making them almost trip over me
I speak to them saying, “Faster servant I must eat now!”
They pat me on the head, and say “You're cute,”
I don’t think they got the message
But soon we reach my eating area
Jumping on it I purr and rub against their hand while they try to get my meal into the bowl
Soon I get to eat
They sigh and start to leave the room
This is not right says I
I jump off the perch and dash after them speaking over and over again “Come back now.”
After a little bit of persuasion they finally go back into the room, and watch me eat
It is so good to have a human pet
I think every cat should have one
Don’t you?

Frodo and Sam
Don’t go where I cant follow,
don’t swim when I cant breath,
I promised I would stay with you
that promise I shall keep

don’t stop when I go on
don’t yell when I weep
for I promised to stay with you
and that promise I shall keep

together we will make it through
through the end of all things
and see the world that once was
beautiful and green

all I ask from you my friend
is to help me keep my promise
don’t go where I cant see you
don’t go where I cant follow

Faramir’s Woe
I go away to war
for you
I lay my life on the line
for you
yet you still don’t care
for me

I try to be the best son
for you
I stay noble and true
for you
yet you still don’t care
for me

I will try my best to be there
for you
I will be the son you wanted
for you
yet you still don’t care
for me

I will come back
for you
I will be beaten down
for you

hopefully then you will care
hopefully you will remember
hopefully you will grieve
for me



Very old poems written by me... not good but here they are

I'll enter!

------------------------

memories
are little butterflies
sitting on flowers of happiness
memories are clouds
blown away by the wind
memories
are golden leaves
falling into the river of life
memories are stars
in the night of our fears
memories are jewels
glittering with the light of joy
memories are friends
that will stay with you
always



---------------------------
The Day Will Come

For Frodo and Sam


Don´t go
where I can´t follow
you cried
And yet you know
this time you have
to let me go
But I promise you, dear Sam
This goodbye is not forever
All souls pass and
This world shall fade
The day will come
when you shall hand
the book to your heir
The day will come
when you too shall sail
across the sea
following the call
I will be waiting for you
on the white shore
of Valinor
Tha day will come
when we will meet again

here is the first of two:

Come to me



In the clearing there is grass
But upon that grass is I
Hoping that you’ll walk by
And see me sipping on the river water

Ah yes the river
Clear and blue
Remember how it was
Where I first saw you?

As I sit upon the grass
Watching the sun go down
I wish you would walk by
One last time

Like you did long ago
While I sat on this grass
Oh but that was long ago
For my memory is blurred
And I wish to remember once more

I look to the sky
As I hear someone walk by
And call
“ Come To me once more!”
