Thread: Poem Pack of Five

Yes, my poems have a style that is quite... atypical compared to other poems on here. But a poem is a composition in verse that converys one's thoughts and feelings, right? But to tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this, other than the urge to express my thoughts. Let me know what you think. And yes, I'm aware I've posted Vague Memories, though I didn't get much of a response form that... Though I do appreciate what I did get, don't get me wrong.

If this one post is too long, let me know and I'll take a few poems off and make another thread for them tomorrow.

Her Name— I wrote when I was eleven. Digging through a portfolio and reading it, I found it amusing, and I thought it'd be nice to share it with you all.

Vague Memories —I've posted it before, but only got one positive response. I'm grateful for it, though.

A Certain Kind of Bliss

I know of a place where
Hate, sorrow, and regret
Fade away…

Where memories,
Having disappeared into oblivion,
Linger on…

Where the vanished souls,
Lost in dawn’s light,
Are lulled into an eternal rest.

But, only a certain kind of bliss
Can take you there…
—Death.

Pure, Lofty, Beautiful Things

Always fleeting,
Always fading,
Always changing.

Anywhere and Everywhere,
Any condition and Every condition,
They form.

Those bound to Earth
Look up to them with awe,
Never ceasing to be amazed.

These pure, lofty, beautiful things,
Never ever solid, Never ever tangible,
How lovely yet ephemeral dreams are…

Pristine Waters

Lost at sea,
I’m thirsty!
I’ve had enough of saltwater.
Tormenting despair, I can feel it…
But yonder, an island!

Greeted by settlers before me,
They bring me to a wonderful spring.
Cupping my hands
And taking a scoop,
It goes down my throat.

So fresh! So pristine! How lovely!
And so they all start drinking alongside of me.
I look up to thank them for the refreshment,
But I see everyone else has drowned,
Having guzzled too much of this pristine water.

The Stars

I look up at the stars
Every single night.

They’re always
Glowing, sparkling, twinkling,
Something to be awed at.

But you know,
I’ve realized something.

They may last long,
But these bright lights in the sky
Will go out someday.

Vague Memories

You held my hand in yours
During those lonely times.
I looked up and I saw
Your smiling face.

My heart embraced a dream
During those lonely times.
I looked inside myself…
There you and I were.

I woke up from my dream.
You were nowhere to be seen.
And now, vague memories of you
Are all I own.

I am lost.
Confused and all alone.
Where are you?
The warmth I felt is gone.

Gone from me,
My dreams and my hope.
Lost in despair,
Vague memories are all I own.

Her Name

Do her homework,
Cut in line,
Start stalking her
To make sure she’s fine

Hang around her
Like a fly,
Glance at her
While passing by

Hear rumors,
Lies,
About other guys.

Another guy
Lays a peck on her cheek,
Holds her hands.
Some swell good-bye.

Start to cry,
Heartbroken
She’s with that other guy.

Oh well,
Calm down,
You never learned
Her name.
