Some of my poetry

Hamato Inya · 08-18-2004, 10:29 PM

Just two poems i wrote when i was kinda depressed

A Heart In the Dark

Is it possible for hearts to cry?
Because the tears my tainted heart cry
Merely slide off the glass of yours.
The shadow in the grass
Reminds me of how you stood.

Is it possible for hearts to cry?
For if they can, mine would wash away
Drowned in misery.
The fish in the water
Reminds me of how you moved.

Is it possible for hearts to cry?
I now know for my own heart has shed many tears
Tears that fall unnoticed by all.
The shape on the bed
Reminds me of you.

Is it possible for wounds to seal?
Because the gash left for tears
Has finally been closed.
The clouds in the sky
Remind me of how you laughed.

Is it possible for wounds to seal?
For if they can the pain would cease
Sealed away by the caresses.
The cat in the field
Reminds me of how you spoke.

Is it possible for wounds to seal?
I now know for my own wounds have sealed
Sealed by the warmth of your heart.
The skin I touch
Reminds me of you.

As the days go by and you grow old
The pain begins anew.
Encouraged by the time we shared
The love that bloomed wilts.

The people pass as I grow old
Not in years but in my heart.
The gash once sealed has broken again
And I accept the blood I give…

Leaving

You are born
Welcomed
Oblivious
Then you age,
And think
You notice things,
Your parents shout
And then it is your turn
You shout farewell as your father,
Leaves your nest.
You cry.
Then it hits you.
You understand,
The pain,
The tears.
Your father’s disappearing back
The emptiness.
Then it happens,
You see a man.
He captures your heart.
Every time he’s with another you die.
Eternal suffering,
Now and forever.
But do not despair!
At the end of pain and suffering,
There will be a light,
Small at first but it grows.
When you reach it care for it.
In time he will hurt.
Be there to reach out,
And capture his broken heart.
Nurse it back to health,
As he heals yours.

avervisal · 08-19-2004, 11:28 AM

Wow, I really like the first one, especially.

You are a girl right?

I was trying to imagine what you were going through when you wrote the second one, Leaving.

Anyway, I really liked both of them.

Hamato Inya · 08-25-2004, 07:41 PM

some poem that had a point but then jsut went some weird direction and i had to finish it like that

Why does the clock sing so sweetly?

Once an hour or up to twelve.

What makes it sing so sweetly?

While the world is dying to save itself.

Why does it sing so sweetly?

It chimes and sings in the still of night.

What makes it sing so sweetly?

Singing out without fright.

Why does it not pity the world?

To save the stronghold it calls its home.

Why do you not sing as well?

For I am destined to roam,

this endless pain that it calls home.

The clock sings of hope and love and peace,

Why do you not sing at all?

Would you rather fall?

The world is at the end.

With nowhere to go it tries to defend,

The streets are paved with not gold or silver,

But with the blood of those who killed her.

Killed who my sad songbird?

Is it not the pain inside your heart,

That caused her to see your fault?

It is not blood it is not pain.

That has been washed by the rain.

But why do I feel the burning ache?

The ache, the need to set things straight?

My dear, my dear, do listen closely.

For all things you have done are costly.

But my dear, let me say,

We will get another dog today.
