[Captain Maltese]

My fists are swift
my eyes are cold
my tongue is barbed
and my words my wall

But my heart is as young
as my yearning is old
you don't have to fight me
if your intent hits gold.

[Despairs]

I come in many forms
I entertain in many forms
I speak in many forms
I write in many forms
To them I am light
To you I am dark
To me I am  neither.

[Captain Maltese]

The cherry trees are blooming
Once, I thought I was a tree
but now I am a flower

[Despairs]

When does it end
When does it begin
Is there no middle
Day in and day out
In the vortex of hell
I remain.

[Captain Maltese]

On this beach I walk
Maybe I'm looking for something or someone
The sea's calling my name.

[Despairs]

Today is the end
Tomorrow is the beginning
Cast away doubt
Surge ahead with pride
Let nothing stop you
As you claim what is yours.

[Captain Maltese]

Claim me
if you
can

Touch me
if you
can

Move me
if you
dare

[Despairs]

Be still like the wind
Be still like water
Move when moved
Push when pushed
Be like wind
Be like water

[Captain Maltese]

I am a prism of glass
glittering in the water
your light passes through me
I let it in
but when it passes on
I have changed its direction
Did you notice?

[Despairs]

They know not of my existence
Day in and day out
I watch, waiting
listening, wondering
if there is an end to this madness.

[Ralhend]

Cgi prettyboy Dude
With abs for all day

Your Shirt Is open
Makes girls want to play

There is a beach behind you with lots of sand
You look like you need a drink in your hand

But instead you choose to make things from clay...


Yeah.  I'm not a poet *shrugs*

[Mimetisme]

Two colors, two letters
Two for one
I am not for sale

Black left, Red right
Always the same
I am in the white

Turn it, flip it
Far away still
I am that much closer

The lost, the found
Smile now frown
Black red white is my song


*Deepest apologies, Ralhend.
I can paint any portrait and scene using only words as my medium.
However, when it comes to poetry, I fully admit it is a dunce cap I wear.
All the same, I thought I would give it a go.

[Captain Maltese]

I am not under the hat
and those
sparkly blue lips
are not my smile

If you want to see what
and whose
will is in control
just look further below for a while.

[AmberStarfire]

He stood there watching,
this man in black and white.
Photographed unexpectedly?
A mysterious figure in the light.
Who could doubt he was handsome?
In a rugged, manly way.
His arms crossed and aware,
as the paparazzi slip away.

[Ralhend]

An enchanting Celtic Beauty
With a lavish bird nest upon her lovely head...
She watches intently and quietly
Silently stalking her quarry, which will soon be dead...
She will feast upon its charred flesh hungrily
And quench her thirst with rich, deep wine colored red...

[PeterCat]

Dark night.  Cold Wind.
Biting.
Sharp face.  Shadowed cowl.
Hiding.
Hunter's mane.  Body strong.
Stirring.
Fiery soul.  Burning eyes.
Piercing.

[Tanken Sai]

Pretty caged bird sing
Pretty love with such glorious  feathers, sing your sad  song.
Sing for the freedoms you lost . Sing for the key to your freedom.
Pretty caged bird sing for me.
Tell my all your secrets and i will tell you mine.
My pretty little bird. Sing  your song for me.

[Coven of Corvids]

I want to be upfront and honest about the fact that I suck at poetry. But I respect the craft, so a little public embarrassment seems a small price to pay to bump a cool thread. 

An ebon square, 
A black abyss. 
A mere glimpse upon her face. 
Yet I yearn for more, 
Her word shrine through, 
And set my heart to race. 

[Xyza]

I'm bad at this, but let me try.

She moves like smoke, then disappears,
A smile that hides a thousand fears.
No one knows where she came,
But every heart recalls her name.

-Sweats a bit-
