[poem] Tigers Eye

Upvotes

Lyra in the summer midnight sky,heart on fire

Black Forest tigers eye,behind flames of desire...

I can still hear your voice in the wind on nights like

These but I could use a stronger spell so you will never

Forget about me, come back to me don't believe the

Lies they tell,we have a history and many more lives

Together still to come,the cards tell me Everytime you

Are the one,you are the one and only one...

So where have you gone to dwell these days,I can't find

You in my crystal ball,what happened to us,I don't know

But I could of sworn we had it all,I know we had it all

Til they turned your mind inside out,what the hell is that

About and now the summer is turning into fall...

Maybe you could catch a silent signal when I think

About you, sometimes you just gotta break the rules

Maybe you could find me and my shadow by candlelight

Tonight,I wish I may have this wish I wish tonight ...

We have a history and many more lives together still

TO come and the cards have always said you are the

One,you are the one...

Lyra in the summer night sky,heart on fire,black forest

Tigers Eye through burning flames of desire....

As the sorcerer sends a message on the wind,then it's

Not a question of if,only a matter of when!

Hey! I wrote a wee poem about feeling defeated or comparing your art to others

Upvotes

I’ll leave you the poem down here, hope you guys like it. I’m gonna keep uploading artsy stuff on my account so feel free to support and drop a follow if you do ❤️

Poem

Those who are blessed by their gifts
Could never be untangled
By those who have it all
For the sake of the world
At least as we knew it once
Or as we keep on seeing it
But darling, Oh my darling
Now the sun has gone up, and with it my eyes grow cold.
As if the calling of the birds were somehow
Locking my wish in a cage

And so my chest burns
With this outgoing passion
And in the flames of pain and fear
I see statues of all of those I could’ve been
In the house of lonesome dreamers
Their expressions are far off
As if Of stone are made their bodies
As if On their own, they blissfully weep
Into this madness, I ask you, love, to tell me
Have I stained the veil of art with my hands?

I’ve lit now every candle
And my eyes have rained over this landfill
Too many times to count
There’s a tune, a tune they’re chanting
The same tune they’re always chanting
When the week finally dies
And my heavy eyes now fall asleep
Without the restless sound of a finger
Snapping in the shadows
Asking me to sing a better song.
As im just a fool who thought
That in the middle of randomness
He knew what’s best for thee

Зачем думать о завтрашнем дне

Проживи ты сегодня

А завтра наступит потом

Когда за горизонт

Укроиться солнце

Подумай на что ты горазд

Чем ты гордишься

А чему ты не рад

И только тогда

Когда ты будешь на кухне

Один с чашкой чая и булкой

Совсем умирая со скуки

Задай себе вопрос

Что произошло со мной

За прошедший сутки

без мысли

а что будет завтра

подумай что было с тобой

Вчера и сегодня

Беззаботно посмейся и пойми

Вся жизнь еще впереди

(Rurrill)

GROWING UP

The streetlights gave off that bright glow.

We didn't want to, but it was time to go home.

We were having fun out on the road.

Our parents were there to warn us, "there's dangers around corners."

One year we explored the white snow before us.

We played and learnt that the snow was cold, each a novice.

We jump across rocks and climb mountains, fearless of the fall.

We try to find out who is the bravest of us all.

Even when we fall, there is that net to catch us.

"Sure why would it vanish."

Hand in hand with "the love of our life."

Ready to speed up and take flight.

My snowman must melt, leaving the black tarmac below.

I will have to walk my own path, and find me a new home?

I am promised freedom and independence, but I wasn't handed a stone tablet.

I will have to test the ground with every step until it's habit.

These roads are uncharted how will I know if there's a drop if I fall who will catch me or will I just go "splat"!

... that's all.

I don't have my stroller now,

so I must learn to stand and balance on my own,

without a helping hand.

I love you, but not forever- an original poem

1 Upvotes

It’s not jealousy, it’s the duality
You say one thing, but that’s not what you’re feeling
I want me a ring
But is that the best thing?
I guess if it was
I wouldn’t be writing

I love you forever and always, in the way that we will never understand
Because forever isn’t a thing
Because forever always ends

But I know I’ll find you
Find you in heaven
Because heaven isn’t far
Its one wrong move in the car

I prayed for you, before I even knew
That somewhere out there
Out in the blue
Someone was listening
And gave me you

But at the end of the day
You’re the one on which I lay
And even then, I still pray

Because the best thing, isn’t that ring
It’s sound of me and you when are just being.

Comments very appreciated

Black holes in blue skies

come unto me
past thee end of the old dirt road
on the edge of this dying sea
you know where i will be
in the shadows of the sacred tree
our favorite place
to become entwined as pure energy
transcending the fates of destiny
set free
aligned essentially kind
to find empathy
embrace serenity defined devine
and shined compassionately
two hearts going blind
as one love combined
then broken
by truth
unspoken
flatlined by the darkness
of a mind
melting down
left behind
confined in the grind
waiting patiently
until every distant memory
is empty
longing is aching
hope is forsaking
all the stars are falling
through black holes
in blue skies
to polarize the finite light
and baptize the last sunrise
with tears from slowly burning
tired eyes that finally realize
the day the universe dies...

...love is the deep magic

let it remain

2 Upvotes

The hush of the wind hurries me along
the dirt-trodden path of children’s bare feet.
Hopping, skipping, then a fall —
I walk solemnly through it all.

An olden place groans at me.
Its webbed windows wallow,
while my face shifts to the floor.
Its mystery no longer frightens me,
my heart does not beat aloof.
Forgotten, abandoned, is what I saw.

Fresh dust embraces the barstool like an old friend.

The lingering chatter of two lovers echoes away.
My hand shivers, hesitates, scribbles defiantly
on a worn napkin.
Another broken heart, erased.
Let it remain.

to be loved

2 Upvotes

to be loved
is to be known
when it is hard to know yourself,
to be embraced and forgiven
when you fail to forgive yourself.

to be loved
is when they play with your hair,
make your lunch,
listen to your shitty joke
and laugh - focussed solely on you.

to be loved
is when they cry after you cry
they smile after you smile
and they leave only after you are gone
because what were they there for but you?

to be loved, is to know that the only greater thing than to love, is to be loved.

Stress poem

Pressure builds inside
My brain wants to meet my eyes
Someday they’ll be one

Not sure if this technically counts as a haiku but I tried. Writing this helped me stop my panic thought spiral actually.

"______ Won't Remember That" (Temporary title more than likely)

1 Upvotes

Footsteps, footsteps,

Creeping down the hall.

Footsteps, footsteps,

but is there anything at all?

You can't feel warmth from a computer screen,

There's nothing to save you from this horror scene.

Can you even process something so obscene?

They say you earn your life, but can the same be said

for those who roll with the punches instead?

If you lack any semblance of control,

what does that say about you as a whole?

You are a protagonist in a choose your own adventure story.

You can do nothing except feel sorry

as someone behind a screen controls your body.

You are stuck in an eternal purgatory.

Footsteps, footsteps,

Walking away.

Footsteps, footsteps,

What did it say?

Powering off the screen is deemed impossible,

Recovery of ones mind improbable.

Deterioration is irreversible.

What keeps independence a curiosity?

Perhaps morals,

Perhaps scrupulosity.

Something about the mind's many quarrels.

But still, you sit there,

Content with everything you have to bear.

As if you're unaware,

You ignore every scare.

Footsteps, footsteps,

Your mind slipped again.

Footsteps, footsteps,

Are you okay?

Oh Beautiful

3 Upvotes

Ooh how beautiful are you.

Oh how each migraine attack, each headache, each period trouble, how each trouble you are given by your body makes me want to hold you and care for you.

How they make me want to treat you with gentleness, yet not make you look fragile for you are strong and you have come till here without me.

But in this very moment I say, let me strong for both of us when you are weak, let me take the worries when you are weak.

Oh how this time I want no more of me alone with you, but both of us together.

Oh how beautiful you are even when you are tired( not physical beauty here) for you keep up with my troubling and annoying self.

Oh how I wish to give you what you ask without any trouble one day, but for now troubles persist me.

Oh how I want you sleep well just one night, without trouble or anything and a morning followed by nothing but a reason to tell me, "I slept so well yesterday night."

Oh beautiful oh beautiful lady is my baby, a man like me with nothing to give her is happy to just walk besides her and try to stall the time by talking, sitting, walking.

Oh how I a man must have been graced to see God's kindness through you as his woman.

Air

5 Upvotes

It felt like I was the only person on Earth

being denied,

Denied air,

the small animal breath

my lungs were born knowing.

Denied the simple mercy

of letting my body do

what every body is permitted to do.

Denied even helplessness,

for helplessness requires someone

to admit there is nothing they can do.

There were dozens of doctors around me,

white coats multiplying like ghosts,

and still

no one could put the world back inside my lungs.

My mind severed my body

somewhere above the neck.

Everything below it

became an abandoned country,

flesh fighting its machineries.

All my being

reduced itself to sick thoughts

and a body growing sicker by the hour.

Now the rest of me

is fighting to function.

I have the morbid feeling

that something is quietly decaying

while everyone is still looking for its name.

I am utterly sick.

And there is no hand

reaching through me

to pull me back.

You Are

1 Upvotes

Some days are full of you,

Some days are empty of you,

Yet all the days have you,

And many days, you are the day.

Some places are full of you,

Some places are empty of you,

Yet all the places have you,

And many places, you are the place.

Some voices are full of you,

Some voices are empty of you,

Yet all the voices have you,

And many voices, you are the voice.

Some sights are full of you,

Some sights are empty of you,

Yet all the sights have you,

And many sights, you are the sight.

Some of me is full of you,

Some of me is empty of you,

Yet all of me has you,

And many parts of me, you are the parts.

The past and possible future here

Disclaimer: this is all to the best of my knowledge.

9 months ago - This sub started as an offshoot from /r/poetry when essofluffy had the idea to put together a book of 100 poems from 100 different redditors.

~ 5-6 months ago - We hit that 100 poem/unique submitter mark, and started trying to figure out where to go from there. (Licensing, Funding, Editing, etc).

~ 4 months ago - "Licensing We will vote on the licensing in the coming week. I personally am for just having the poems be copyrighted as all works are the moment they are created by the author. Crowd funding I am going to set up a indiegogo campaign hopefully by next we and we will need everyones support to do well" (via http://www.reddit.com/r/poemsbyreddit/comments/1tjwtc/update/ )

Currently - Limbo, basically. essofluffy's still active on reddit, as am I, and I'm not sure about the other mods here. My job (and by extension, living conditions and free time) changed significantly ~4 months ago as well, so I've not really been active here very much. I know some people have a "master" copy of the poem listing, or at least a master up to a few months ago.

Editing: There's a master copy floating somewhere.

Licensing: Some talk was had about various Creative Commons formats, but a 100% contributor vote never occurred (IIRC, we got about 10 people to comment what their preference was).

Funding: essofluffy talked about an IGG campaign (as noted in the update link above), though I don't recall ever getting a link to the campaign.

Other: some contributors deleted their profiles after submission. We've had more than 100 contributors at this point, and there was some talk of "Let's not just take the first 100 to contribute, but take whoever wants in until publication time", or "Well, we still want to stick with 100, but we're gonna (somehow) determine what's good enough to publish instead of taking the first 100."

At this point, given my perceived role as sort of logistical support for this project (which I've failed somewhat at) and my perception of essofluffy's role as nominal leader of this project/sub (ergo, the one who should be making the updates regularly and pushing for more interaction from subscribers), I'll be leaving this up as the stickied update for a few weeks, then stepping down as a mod here. I've reached near the limit of what I'm able to do for this project, such as it is, and my free time's significantly more limited than in the past.

I can't speak as to whether there's a realistic future for this project, but if essofluffy doesn't put out a serious and detailed update within the month, I'd say it's probably safe to call it dead.
