Here's an old one.

Pact With The Devil

What about him is so appealing to thine eye,
that raps around our bodies holding tight
and swindles our soul into a lie,
Pulling us towards him, away from the light?...

We take comfort in its discourse
that lifts all burdens off of our shoulders
leaving us to feel no remorse
over sins and appalling actions we take towards others.

It's hypnotic voice, fills our mind
whirling, swirling, into such convincing shapes
until we are left blind,
drowning in the devil's gapes.













Yes, I know about thine

Forgiveness

I have been bad since a lad
In a dreamy Armenian homeland of the past
Tearing the curtain to satisfy the want
Putting a match in the outlet
Burning down the curtains
Electrocuting myself
As a child causing havoc for my parents
Who art so patient
My dear brother
I am sorry, for scratching you
We’ve spent a lifetime circling each other
On the canvas in the paints shadow
I have not listened wisely
I have been bad so bad
My mind made of sand slipping thought and action
Into my self made fiction of lost convictions
As I grew in size my mind ceased to be wise
I have instead taken strides in latitudes of lies
Thinking I was escaping my
Hemispheres of fears
I don’t remember too much of anything
Of these voyages into the seas of nothing
Only after did I remember
Anything I could have hoped to say
Where did thy mind go prancing far
And off and low
Shedding tears it could not fake
For ages passed it formed a lake
No, wit doesn’t matter
This is my imperfection
This is my soul’s transmutation
I never intended it to lead to this
It took some years and few bruises to notice
That I was lying in dirt
Soiled I sit, my jeans still fit
With my eyes outlining the veins that ride my skin
In silence the blood flowing
Following a path toward my heart
A train of peaceful punctures
Riding merrily down in a timeless exercise
Of what once was the arm, beginning of my name
Which I used to swim in the seas of nothing
Because I was so bad living for myself
Walking heedless paths into diversion
Never thought of reconnection
To my soul, my driving force
And thy brain all lost and weary
Could not find a path that’s worthy
And here is where I
Sigh...
Sit, lost in a lie
Clenched tight and I
Couldn’t console myself because I needed the family
My family
And now I know not to bring for more misery
Tonight I offer this apology
Please forgive me, dear family
That watered my roots with your eternal eyes
Healed my hearts wounds with your silky smiles
Altered my blood flow to change my heart beat
Acted as my inner ammo to keep my soul sweet
And this is my biography
Of apology
Of the lengths that I have gone to
To escape me

Okay...so here is one of mine........


In this life, this hole we bleed and breathe
Next door we’ve have been cursed to be
In this life I have never been known to understand happiness.
I have never known, so to have never been forgotten.

Now and here you laugh and leap as a five-year-old child, with no cares to keep.
But you have never been in this world.
You have not seen my family weep.
My world my culture raises and dies and you laugh and leap as the five-year-old child.

In this life, this hole we live and breed.
Next door you’re have cursed to be
But is this my life my own.
To which I should find happiness
To which I shell never truly been known.

Built on only chance this life we choose to live, to take.
But next door I have been cursed to die, in this life, this hole of mine, which I have laughed and cried.

This path I walk, this one here, let me bravely tread when you will only fear.
Cause all you do it laugh and leap as the five-year-old child with no cares to keep.

It's been a while since someone wrote a poem.

[SagGal]

OUCH! I have a feeling he might not "...do some more." lol.

[spiral]

I don't like it.

[MadHandle]

This might be a diffrent format...I got some spare time though, I'll give it a try. Its not gonna be poetry though...more of a hiphop type flow.


You don't understand...I got more rhymes then a hand full of sand
Verbal terms tryin to Expand...I can't hold my "heavy" rhymes hand in hand
This is not poetry...Nursery Rhyming to me Is like an Ancient Study
You can't can't "outbeat" me, it be Like tryin to "Suck" on A latex Candy
Im tryin to kick knowlege...Maybe Some of Ya'll Smart Enough to Acknowledge
Some say its hard to rhyme "Orange"...Here you go man, Its not a Challenge
Look, I can go on and on, maybe rhmye this till the Brake of Dawn
4 Am, And I'm still jumpin bars like a Rook Over Pawn, or the Hook on this Line

This took me about 5-10 minutes. Give feeback on it, I mgiht do some more.

Years

Please don’t come and leave once again,
For I haven’t had the chance to begin.
You come so hastily and with such grace
But take along only time without a pace.
All that remains from you are lines,
Imprinted as wrinkles upon my face
Burned in as images in photographs
Spilled upon like ink on a writer’s first draft
Instilled as deep grooves into my heart
And captured as a smile, a kiss in my memories.
Precious are these, the feelings, the glee
The memories that are treasures, so dear to me.
Yet you decide to revisit once more,
Completing your mission, your frivolous chore.
But this time more ruthless than ever before.
Endowing more pain, taking what’s left
My soul filled with treasures, before your theft.
Taking all, you leave one last breath,
Which I take in, knowing I have nothing else left…

Word weaver words.

Spin your fantasies around me word weaver.
Seduce my mind with a subtle rhyme.
Tangle me in twists and turns on each page,
To lure my heart into your space and time.

For words hold the key to unlock my soul.
To unfetter my spirit and set it flying free.
Reveal your thoughts upon the naked page,
And through their spell, entice me, capture me.

Very good poem. Nice use of words.
