Charlemaine Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I actually have a deviantART gallery (http://www.charlemaine.deviantart.com) where i keep my poems, songs & artwork, but i didn't put this one there bcoz (a) it's not my usual standards anyway, and (b) i don't think non-fans would appreciate it much. based loosely on 'My Interpretation'.... at least that's what was in my head when i wrote it. and i dont care if it sucks! woke up at 4am with it in my head and if i didnt get it out i wouldnt get no sleep. My Infatuation It’s 4 a.m. Mental bedlam attacks me like a swarm of killer bees Try to keep my heart warm Talk about love Talk to myself Wishing for a dream of your sugar high of your violet sky I don’t want to cry about What your music makes me shout Want to make-belief That I became a thief Of your affection I don’t need to scream and sigh I can probably get by What you put me through Singing like the song was meant for you CHORUS Your eyes melting mine Swirls of colour in my head This is my infatuation, I don’t need an explanation I just toss in my bed Imagine words you’ve never said Lost in my infatuation This is mad This is mad Candy is not good for me But you have made me see That a little taste Can be so addictive Too much of you can rot my soul Too little puts me in a hold Of withdrawal blues In my days without you I don’t want to be your lover When the music stops it’s over Leaping four octaves, Then slipping into a sweet lullaby Aren’t you clever, aren’t you sly Aren’t you just the sweetest guy Play your piano Dance like it’s your very final show CHORUS ~ ~ ~ Alright, now you can throw the tomatoes!

Zahara Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Finally, a poem thread!! So.. here goes.. The Poem About A Girl Named Ulli Who Took This Gun, Began To Run And Shot Her Friend Named Nulli I knew this girl named Ulli, she's quite a little bully, she took this gun, began to run, And shot her friend named Nulli. ------------------------------ [Escapism] For the roses that bloom in the garden for the sun who's rays spread out over the land for the rain that drips in the little puddles puddles puddles of blood came together with the drawing of the knifes cutting the roses the rays the rain cutting all that's worth dying for all that's worth living for all that will only be a mere memory of a place once called home And i'm working on some new ones as we speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Semm_ Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 * Joins the poetry-people * Trying to catch his hand when it slowly disappears trying to understand, the softly dropping tears on the floor covered in red the knife still on the bed One question in my head why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahara Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You're watching Falling leaves Floating on air Like you With arms widely spread And legs firmley together Your eyes are closed So you won't see .. Dead. Like leaves you'll perish Slowly. But for now Just keep on floating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I wrote this when I first discovered Mika. It's so soppy, I have no choice but to call it "Ode to Mika": ---- Your fingers dance like butterflies across the ivory keys Soft and slow or uplifting, your music speaks to me. In your words I find a solace I so desperately required And your smile makes me melt and sets my tender heart afire. Somewhere along my charcoal road I got caught up in a race Then you came and pulled me down into another time and place Your talent is a gift, your voice a treasure to be heard I share in your elation as you spread it ‘round the world. You know deep in your heart this is the path you were born to take The world that you’ve created is a utopia we can’t shake. I admit that my inner skies were dark, and painted with shades of gray Your watercolor daydream now keeps those dreary clouds at bay. With so much of life so artificial now, everything’s a calculated creation Your art is real and free, and comes from within; that’s the source of your sensation. It inspires me in unseen ways how you connect with what you’ve created And as a result you’ve earned my love, unabashed and unabated. Oh Mika, you must think I’m mad, waxing poetic about you here But you should know how much you’ve touched me; I’d like to make that clear. With the endless trials of everyday life, it’s so easy to get caught It’s so deliciously refreshing to hear someone tell you “why not?†In 23 short years you’ve felt so many things that color your very soul Yet you took those shattered pieces and created something so very whole. As the world spins around you now, like some crazy carousel Make sure you don’t lose sight of the inner spirit you know so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poem About A Girl Named Ulli Who Took This Gun, Began To Run And Shot Her Friend Named Nulli ------------------------------ [Escapism] Ulli Nulli... cuteness * Joins the poetry-people * Mysteriously good.

Zahara Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 This thread deserves to be bumped. Big time! Mirror mirror on the wall I'll pick you up then let you fall I told my secrets told them all yet, why is it you make me crawl? You show my tears My biggest fears My nose, my mouth my eyes and ears I can't accept that they are mine but there you go saying I look fine Well, mirror mirror on the wall I've picked you up and let you fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Semm_ Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Zahara, that's beautiful! I'll post a short one, to keep this thread going I can still see the scars that you left You almost pushed me too far I was standing on the edge And you were being the bitch that you are But then I realised you still had my heart And running away would not keep us apart Still glad that I kept you near Because you're my everything, dear (Bit personal, it's from my poems-diary ..)

rabdash Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, this thread faded ages ago, but its so beautiful, and some of the lyrics are fab and I want to get it started again, even though I never participate din the original one...I know there are loads of poets among us, so get sharing! I might as well start with one of mine...this is quite embarassing but hey, none of you know me face to face so I should be OK! lol Sitting from across the bay Why can't you hear me? Screaming your name First, only, one true love I need to be with you now Need you reaching from above Splashing legs into the sea My reflection darkens 'Cause I can see me I remember your big brown eyes Open to your soul With no chance of a disguise I remember your messy hair Once in my dreams Now turned to nightmares And so I sit across the bay Waiting for you To whisper my name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Freaka =) Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Journey till death All alone and lost again, With no one to hold and nothing to gain. I am being scolded and criticized from left to right Should I just accept it all, or stand up and fight? I don’t know how much more I can take To keep up that smile although it’s fake. I need to know the reason that everyone’s upset with me I need to find a reason to shake it off and be free I know I mean a lot to few in this place So I’ll think of them to keep strong as I begin this race This race this race that needs to be completed The anger and frustration that needs to be defeated The worry and paranoia that faces me ahead The hatred and jealousy that wants me dead But I will stand strong and try to make it through Enjoy my time and live every moment knowing I succeeded, Before I’m due. dont know if it makes any sense!
