the title of this poem is true.

 

Not About a Girl

 

I love her

she broke me

the scar will last

eternally

 

I still love you

I'm just scarred

to fix this will be

more than hard

I wish it could be

that I could fix me

but some scars last

eternally

 

:cry:

Project. This is a song about a man i know

 

The Piper of Worcestershire

 

Nothing left to live for

Just a ghost from the past

Playing a tune never meant to last

 

You will know him by his dog

You will know him by his eyes

Full of sorrow and misery

Telling of 1000 lies

 

Nothing left to live for

Only his profession

Playing a tune of a long lost vision

 

Once upon a time he was a father

Once upon a time he had a home

Once upon a time he working man

Once upon a time...its not like you would ever know

 

Nothing left to live for

Just a piper in the street

Trying to make ends meet

In a cruel cruel world

 

If you ever see him

Then please stop and talk to him

Yea hes just a piper in the street to you

But hes got a history too.

[Best u Can]

I do like it. It is a very dark though. Was it a dream...Like mine. Or is it from personal experiance?

 

It was something I thought of in my philosophy class. I was thinking what it would be like having no senses at all except to hear. I don't remember what made me think of that...

The Red Leaf Tree

 

Mr. Solace

lived alone

when fall arrived

to his home

 

The red leaf tree

is nowhere to be seen

 

Mr. Workman

has nice neighbors

he could count on them

to do him favors

Mr. Workman

was very old

it was hard for him

to work in the cold

but Mr. Workman

raked his yard

it took a day to do

what normally isn't hard

 

as you can see

look around

the red leaf tree

is nowhere to be found

 

The kids would play

in Mr. Kindly's leaves

they had never seen

the red leaf tree

Mr. Kindly finally

wants his peace

he doesn't want kids

playing in his leaves

Mr. Kindly

is usually fine

I wonder what the kids

did this time

 

"You kids stay away

from these leaves"

he didn't want

the children to see

TAN SOLO

 

Es un poco tarde

Es un poco noche

Vengo de mi “desastre”

Apunto de desvanecerme

 

¿Qué era lo que éramos?

¿Cuáles son las intenciones?

¿Por qué tantas confusiones?

¿Qué es lo que esta pasando?

 

Fue difícil

Depender de tus manos

Entender tu pasado

Sonreírte en mi tormento

Explotar desde mis centros

 

Fue difícil

En mi dejar de preocuparme

Coordinar mi cuerpo con mis actos

Sacarle al tiempo paciencia

Entender de nuevo mi existencia

 

Tan solo intenta sentir

Estas espesas gotas

Que muy lentamente van quemando

A mi frágil alma

 

Tan solo intenta sentir

Estas infinitas gotas

Que cayeron al vacio

Muertas de coraje y dolor

 

Siente mi desesperación

Porque siempre podre verte

Y cada vez agonizara mi avaricia

Por abrigarme con tu cuerpo

 

Resuena en tu mente

Aquellas frases sombrías

Cargadas de hipocresía

Lentas y muy pesadas

 

Que me sumergían, me asfixiaban

Por la desaparición de honestidad

 

Me lapidaban, me sepultaban

Apagando mi anhelo

 

Acabe acariciando la tierra con mi frente

Respirando la inexistente solución

Cegando mi piel de sensación

Desgarrándome de preocupación

[Sienna]

jspodx, muy bien! muy bien!!! :D

[jspodx]

mechas gracias sienna, veo que tu tambien escribiste en español es muy bueno!!

Im not being mean. You guys really need to translate it if you want anyone other then Mexican people to have anything to say about it.

 

Just a thought.

Just a thought.

of course you mean, Hispanic. I agree, but as you can see the poem flows better in Spanish and it probably wouldn't rhyme in English.

[Christiana]

eric, you should go to work for the UN - you are sooooo... diplomatic :)

[silverion]

But i cant understand it. I dont speak mexican afterall.

[silverion]

Cmon. Someone translate it

Why

 

left in the dark my big brother

if I had the choice you would be alive

 

the cruel earth would let you die

I'm the only one for whose death I cried

 

left in the dark

daddy, hear me cry

why did my big brother die

 

son, how can I explain

I wish it wasn't true

but it's in the past

I could only spare you

 

left in the dark

mama, hear me cry

why did my big brother die

 

life was out of proportion

he was just a baby when I had the abortion

 

_______________

 

 

Yep

 

Look at your hand

coming towards your ear

forget the world

watch it dissapear

pretty girl

I'm sitting here

watch you walk by

watch you dissapear

[alyssa]

Uhm... yeah, I dunno where I got this from...

 

What does this world want?

 

I don't know who to trust

I don't know what's true

 

Which way do I go;

can I even trust you?

 

Right is right

wrong is wrong

 

A tune is a tune

A song is a song

 

But what if

what if this doesn't all go along?

 

A tune can break into song

A right choice may end up being wrong

 

What does this world want?

 

I feel everything changing

yet I feel I remain the same

 

any more change

and I swear, I'll go insane

 

What does this world want;

what does it want me to do?

 

What does it want of me,

and what does it want of you...?

[silverion]

Uhm... yeah, I dunno where I got this from...

 

What does this world want?

 

I don't know who to trust

I don't know what's true

 

Which way do I go;

can I even trust you?

 

Right is right

wrong is wrong

 

A tune is a tune

A song is a song

 

But what if

what if this doesn't all go along?

 

A tune can break into song

A right choice may end up being wrong

 

What does this world want?

 

I feel everything changing

What does it want of me,

Nice

^Uh... you really think so?

Tonight

 

The sun penetrates tomorrow

equally lit my mind

I love darkness

 

shadow is here

pain will go away

worries destroyed

with the passing of a day

 

dark, come and hide me

let this wisdom die

let me forget

this passing of time

 

I'm sharing in this futility

they could depend on me

but they are too busy

forget me

 

dark demon destroy my soul

bury my wisdom in a hole

I don't want to live long

I lost control

 

how many people would love

losing all their sight

well

I long for it tonight

 

Oh!

let it go

baby

let me go

 

but because of this I will not go

there's too much to live for

too much I love

I go on to carry you

I forgot myself tonight

and I remember your eyes

you see what I see

so let it go baby

I'll take it up for you

If I have to live through hell for all my life

so be it

come and get me hell, I'm ready

because I love you

 

this light lasts forever

but you make time pass by

I believe that better times

will lift our weak souls high

[Best u Can]

I said this before and I'll say it again. I don't like this poem, and I don't like a lot of my poetry. There are only like 2 or 3 poems that I wrote that I don't really want to change. that was one of those poems when I wrote it I was like, "wow, this is awesome." Then I woke up the next day and I copied it and I was like, "wow, this sucks" I really dislike the direction it ended up facing. So any advice on changing this would be appreciated. I don't mind changing it, even if it means it's not entirely my poem because I don't like this one. I think it would be cool to do a sort of collaberative poem where a few people write the poem. It would be really nice if we could get a lot of people to write a poem. I mean, a collaberative poem could have a great potential in my opinion. Even if it's just like me and silverion I think it would be cool to at least try.

[silverion]

Hope you like

This is more of a song then a poem. The few changes I would make have been made.See if you can spot them

 

Tonight

with the passing of a day

let this wisdom die

they could depend on me

To see my humility

 

dark demon destroy my soul

bury my wisdom in a hole

I don't want to live long

Like an aged and ragged doll

 

how many people would love

losing all their sight

well

I long for it tonight

 

Oh!

glarb great poem -you wrote it? or found it?

mpoetry sucks so here is

 

Tom Paxton

 

What Did you Learn In School Today

 

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

I learned that Washington never told a lie

I learnedthat soldiers seldom die

I learned that everybody's free

That's what the teacher said to me

And that's what i learned in school today

That's what i learned in school

 

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

I learned that policemen are my friends

I learned that justice never ends

I learnedthat murderers die for their crimes

Even if we make a mistake sometimes

And that's what i learned in school today

That's what i learned in school

 

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

I learned that war is not so bad

I learned about the great one we have had

We fought in Germany and in France

And someday I might get my chance

And that's what i learned in school today

That's what i learned in school

 

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

I learned that our government must be strong

It's always right and never wrong

Our leaders are the finest men

So we elect them again and again

And that's what i learned in school today

That's what i learned in school

 

 

... a bit repetitive but i guess that just to emphasis how that kid learns things at school...

I learned

[kekita]

But i cant understand it. I dont speak mexican afterall.

Its not mexican silverion no such thing :P its spanish

 

 

but as you can see the poem flows better in Spanish and it probably wouldn't rhyme in English.

your right thebestyoucan

 

just look at my shoddy attempt at it mind you i translated it word for word and my spanish is mediocre

 

TAN SOLO- so lonely

 

Its rather ( a bit) late

Its rather dark (its darkening, becoming night)

I’ve come from my “disaster”

close to (?)

 

What was it that we had (that we were)?

What were the intentions?

? Why so much confusion?

What is happening?

 

It was difficult

Depending(relying) on your hands

Understanding your past

laughs(smiles) on my torment

Exploit from my centers

 

It was difficult... at this point i gave up :embarrased: ah well good practice :dozey: .

Heres a song about my mum.

 

This is the first showing of a song i never thought i would show to anyone. You people should be honourd. This is the most personal song i have ever written.

 

Forgate street station I would pass my mum

If she didn't notice i was there

With her back against the wall

And her head between her feet

No one tried to help he to be fair

My mum had a drink and drugs problem

A problem you wouldn'tr want to share

 

Put yourself in myshoes for a moment

See things through my reddened eyes

This way you have no choice to warrent

The reasons that i have to despise

My mum was part of a vagrent current

That helped me to see through the lies

 

I wish people weren't blind of a world they look down on. So busy looking after number 1 they forget about those that have come undone. What about all the fathers and the mothers that fight in a world you all try to cover. Still no one stops to think at all...it could easily be me

 

A year ago on June the 5th my mum died

She went to hospital the previous week, we thought she would come out.

A week later she died. I tried to be strong i really tried

Must get through it beat the pain. My heads full of doubt

From that point i was kind of fried

I was in a mess my circuitry was out

 

Then i went on holiday, had a break and stopped to think

The time spent in sunshine things were good for a while

Had a chance to work things out, to find the missing link

With nothing to worry about i had a reason to smile

If it weren't for that time i would need a shrik

Someone to rescue the pieces from the pile

 

I wish people weren't blind of a world they look down on. So busy looking after number 1 they forget about those that have come undone. What about all the fathers and the mothers that fight in a world you all try to cover. Still no one stops to think at all...it could easily be me.

 

Now i know what i want

I know what i want to do

No one should go through

What i went through

There has to be a way

Something i can do

Someway, somehow

To stop it happening

To you

 

In death my mum taught me a lesson

You got to be nosy you got to pay attention

So i started taking sessions

To be a way of prevention

To start on a mission

The vagrant't current convention

I know for certian

It's a brilliant invention

 

I wish people weren't blind of a world they look down on. So busy looking after number 1 they forget about those that have come undone. What about all the fathers and the mothers that fight in a world you all try to cover. Still no one stops to think at all...it could easily be me.

No one stops to think at all...it could easily be me.

No one stops to think at all...it could easily be me.

No one stops to think at all...it could easily be me.

remenisce

you touched me

before that long silence

 

that was my chance

the chemical attraction

I wonder what she's thinking

 

will I get another chance

to touch you

before that long silence

I'll say what I mean to say

I'll let you know

we know

 

next time

we'll touch the stars

that long to see us together

we know

 

somehow this

doesn't seem too far

it's not going to be tomorrow

but right now

time is going by

 

next time

that moment will be longer

we'll touch the stars

that long to see us together

we know

 

somehow this

doesn't seem too far

it's not tomorrow

but right now

time is going by
