War Within
By S.L. Simpson


My dreams fight fervently with my past
Knowledge is my basic battle tool
I could halt my struggle at last
If anyone crossed me they'd be a fool

The war rages on within my soul
I am tortured as it slowly increases
The turn of the tide will show
My face will show if it lessens or ceases

Mysteriously misplaced lost in time
I hide in the deep vortex of night
My dreams are going to be mine
Not losing the twisting fight

Into the night lost so far away
I slip from this world never found again
Never touched by the light of day
To halt any of my War Within


This poem is currently in the proces of being published...

Beautiful poems everyone! Here's my little offering . . .

Shadows
As I travel down the night darkened road
Deformed shadows mark the path
Is this the way home?
Or is it the way to my final destiny?
Where I will be embraced by the cold earth
For all eternity
Who can answer these questions?
When humans cannot differentiate
Between the truths and lies they tell themselves
Lead on darkened shadows I plead
Whatever the future holds
Lead on


Doesn't rhyme or have a particular meter to it but my poetry typically doesn't.

Did you know that I live for you
That I breathe for you
Did you know that I need you
That you’re the reason I’m still alive

Do you know that you are mine
Mine, and no one else’s

Do you know that I die
every time you smile at your girl?



- Short and filled with feelings, with little description and leaves much for the mind to wonder. I like to write that way...
And often without names or proper headline... I'm not good at making such, I'm not good at names, so don't see a reason to give them names. It'll only hinder the mind of the reader

this one was for my lass amanda




like the eagles that fly ever forward
,flying erver home your spirit will fly
through the ageless of time

---

and this one

---

as like a falling star shining so bright and so far away
but ever near ,heart seeking a passage of lost time
to have found the that might be mine as one
heart and one soul earlier in my time, fly through this
world of a shining star and through into the next world
its never ever too far.

I love this poems! lot of meanings...

If this belongs somewhere else please move, but I haven't seen anything of the nature for a while....So lets enjoy everyone's creativity!




Becoming



Crimson cradling the coven cross,

Pastors preach with ill effect,

Monster lurk in well hidden shadows,

Pacify the worldly tokens,

Lament in drowning plight.


Speak unwillingly to the masses and choke on tithing,

Cast out the virtues of recent and past tradition,

Bewilder the feeble into ponder peril.


Spin the web of deceit and illusion to cause minions collapse,

Entwine the calling of pleasant rhythms,

Curl thy finger into crooked cringes to pacify all in lost embrace.


Slowly withering and fall unto decay,

Preach no longer the dreaded dreams distraught by mystical sirens,

Crowded by legions un-wanting and lacking,

May and my withhold the darkest despair to linger in numbness,

Ponder a present and past in not,

Passerby to sorrow unfelt and undaunted. ©
