So do we have anyone in the forums interested in poetry?

So Maybe I should put one of my poems here in the description in order to possibly get responses.

Thinking of You
I can still hear your voice though you’re many years away
I can still feel your touch throughout the passing of each day
I lost you so long ago within the dark recess of my soul
I reach out to touch you with a weary shaking hand
But all I can see is the mirror before which I stand
Tortured thoughts and shattered memories
Engulf me in pain, which tries to defeat me
Everything I chose in life chained me
Kept me from being what I wanted to be
Till you set me free
Till you set me free
Memories of long ago
Wash up upon this Stygian shore
Here I sit sifting through joy and pain
What have I lost what will I gain
Everything you have lost I will gain
My spirit is shattered my heart has broke
Your body crumples to the floor as I try to blink away the stinging smoke
The shining metal takes a life and slips to the floor
As I blow you a kiss and shut another door
Why did you go behind my back and cheat on me
I'll never know now for you'll never speak again and your eyes won't see
You took my love and turned it to hate
Thus it has turned and sealed your fate
A wall goes up around my soul again
I tell myself I shall never love again
For you took from me what set me free
You took from me what set me free

A bump is like life
It serves its single purpose
And then it is done

There's this website where you can write small poems and stories to. I like it. I wrote a few things (that actually didn't make it to the website, I believe) and, since I can't seem to find anything else of mine's, here goes nothing:

Mood (classical) Tune since yours was so damn good

Theft
The dagger hit her heart and so did the pain.
The copper coins laid on the floor
what was her to gain?
He watched her blood pour
Eyes as cold as what she died for.

This one suits up for a 8 word or less thing:

A Mazed
She was a maze -
and it amazed him.

I think you should partake on MicroTales too!

Here goes some prose because I'm better (although not yet great) at that and your mood music was actually one hell of an inspiration trip. I'm writing this at random as I listen to that "Everyday" song, so bear with me.

After finishing, this ended up pretty disturbing.

Read at your own risk.

Calloused hands scraped the paint off the wall, his legs failing with every move. It was unfair they told him to rest and yet he kept on pacing, working, scraping. Living. It had to be done, however, and the luxury of a rest for the restless worker was far too much to ask for.

She asked him when would he finish scraping the wall. He told her it would be done when it was done. His hands trembled to think of what he was doing, but he was being handsomely paid - and God knew how much he needed the money.

He took a step back to survey his three-day long work. It was nearly done. The pain of bearing with it would soon be over.

When he asked her how did the human skin get splayed across the wall like that, she replied she had hired a painter, not a gossiper. He could do little else but agree. Scraping, scraping, scraping. The flesh, the blood, the pain away.

The next day she woke up, stretched her body on the empty queen sized bed, and went for the phone.

"I'm looking for a painter. I new to redecorate, you see."

Another painter was sent. She splayed him on her bed, he splayed the paint on her wall. And so the days went on, for every trust there was a brushstroke, and for every painter, there was new and fresh paint.

Her wall was redecorated every month, and it was bloody beautiful. Scraping, scraping, scraping.

A beautiful shade of crimson red.

"Hello, I'm looking for a painter! Did I call the right number?"

Am I disturbed? Yes.

I'm actually a member of www.darkpoetry.com which is where most of my work is posted. I like that last one a good bit though I must say the part with his legs threw me off. Maybe add a bit more development with that. I do like the imagery you paint with this though.

Nice website, thank you!
Haha as I've said, I wrote this very hurriedly! Could you tell me why did it throw you off so I may improve?
I see the pun you did there (or no pun intended?) :D

I couldn't figure where it fit into the story. That's why I said it might help to add a little extra information. What effect did his legs failing with each move have on the job he was doing? Did the fact that he have a hard time moving prevent him from running away from his client? Other than adding a little information to the story how would it tie in with any other part of the story?

Thanks for the feedback, even though it was hurriedly written down, I always have the problem I know everything that went on on my stories but I forget to make them clear. There is a reason for that, yes, but as much as I'd like to explain, this is just a sketch of a shadow of a story, and I mustn't bother you or myself with it now (:

Hey. There.
I'm Tony. Blair.
I'm sorry that I've. Been away for so long.
But I just had. Nothing interesting. To share.
With your. Lovely asses. Which are pretty rare.
Oh. How would you dare. To say that I'm not as good as my old man Blair.
He would've been. So proud. Of the difficulties that I bore. And still bear.
Just because. I liked. Sher.
But. Even if you said that. That is illogical.
I'd say. And so is a. Circular square.
Take. Care. Obama care.

The. End.
No offense intended to any country/person. I made this while being a little drunk.

Bumping the little heart <3

I guess these are my 2 favorite that I have written thus far, I don't guarantee the quality:

-On the Ocean Floor-

Surrounded by the darkness
and by the swirling waters,
always lost, never to be found.
The lone, young diver who dove
too deep; for too much ambition
he had in his heart. Now, no one
will see him alive again.
His mission ending
after a joyful start.

At least he can feel that he’s not alone
for there are other fish in this sea.
Great monsters of various size
just waiting for his looming demise,
to take him without a struggle—
to gain what little he has left.

Knowing this he may fight,
but for him it is already too late.
The mistake he made cannot be
corrected in this situation.
He just should have known
that no one can go so deep,
but he had to overreach.

Slowly drowning,
the pressure is coming down.
He waits patiently for the end,
when the fish will swallow him up,
the currents sweep away the pieces,
and what he had is lost—forever.

-The Rights of a Flower-

Why are other flowers not as pretty as a rose?
Why are others not as lovely, as beautiful to the sight
of Man, who are looking upon; to cause the blight
of criticism and of strife. To stir within such woes,
even though all the flowers become the same when it snows.
For in this season of their lives, aren’t they all lost to light?
The beauty of all is lost, their days become eternal night.
But the spring will come when no one knows

the differences in the flowers, all so good and fair.
No longer will the scornful criticisms of Man defame
those flowers and buds and petals who became
the marvels of nature that we know and love.
For even though, no two the same, all are equal for a name
in wonder, and in majesty, and in personality to claim.

-Bigots and Cowards-

Shrouded in darkness they lay,
even during the light of day.
Claiming greatness and grace,
yet unable to show their face
during their “righteous” deeds.

They prey on our innocent
claiming them maleficent.
Showing their true nature,
or following false scripture,
their actions are still unjust.

Their entire identity is deadened
by the black veil they have fastened.
Their actions and words we know:
horridly gruesome displays that show
nothing but bigots and cowards.

-In the Wake-

Few know the visions of a dying man.
Their wishes may be written out,
but what of those they could not say?
Who will make sure that they are known
to the ones he knew and loved?
They, who grieve in sorrow of his night
will never know those final thoughts.

In the dreams of one, not yet old enough
to know the meaning of the vision:
he sees a casket, crimson red,
lying at a wake, people all around.
Coming closer, all eyes on him,
the young boy nears the casket.
The last few steps are filled with dread,
for a detail not yet known. Who is the one
lying still within the walls of wood?
Then, looking in, the woe came all at once.
He knew this man, but was confused,
for not yet was he dying.

The dream often stopped here,
until one night it carried on.
The man awoke and grabbed at him;
he caught the boy in an stone-like grip.
Leaning in he whispered there,
“Let them know that they are dear,”
and down he fell again.

Awake, now frightened, the boy sat up.
Not knowing what to say or do.
Every day after this dream
he saw the man in the casket
alive and in the flesh—for now.

Few know the visions of a dying man.
His final thoughts are often lost forever—
until a young boy and his dreams
revealed them before he ever died.

On Steamgifts there once was a leecher
A level10 decided to teach her
When you up level high
the competition runs dry
All alone he enjoyed his fa'vrite feature

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!
