I’ll start it off with my newest poem and I’ll update it with new stuff every once in awhile, k?

I’ll Be Your Friend

Words mean alot to me
They could mean anything
But if there is one thing important to me
It’s having you by my side

I want someone to hold close
To keep me safe when I feel pain
I will no longer feel shame
When I have you

I’ll be your friend
Until the end
Life is precious
When I am with you

I want to keep secrets
With someone like you
And stories to tell
Leaves me feeling compelled

I believe in magic
It’s nothing tragic
It leaves me feeling spastic
But you clear it up

When it comes to you…

I’ll be your friend.

Around the end is more experimental than anything as it kinda detracts from the actual poem itself. And it really is just “filler” material. But I thought it was quite nice nevertheless.

Just a general song-like poem about “friendship”.

Wow, beautiful poem Little Chef Remy. I was totally moved. Please write more.

Longing For You

I’m lost in a shadow
Of my inner self
I feel so small
Surrounded by a thick wall

I wish I could break free
Because there is so much to see
But I am needing someone
I am coming undone

I am longing for you
My heartache is true
I can’t deal with this pain no longer
I am not getting stronger

I want to know if you still love me
Baby, can’t you see?
I am desperate
I just can’t seem to forget

How can I?

When I’m longing for you.

A much shorter poem… but it’s underlying sadness intermixed with “love” towards a friend, a girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife, or just someone you are close with. It’s a message that speaks in almost deafening tones.

A very deep poem, to be exact. I wrote this up because I am longing for more “Vivi Ornitier/Orunitia” from Final Fantasy IX.

I Have Feelings, Too

I’m not just an automaton
I try to be strong
Even if I stumble
I just get back on my feet again

I want to show the world
That I’m not just a weakling
Within my eyes is a twinkling
Of life in these yellow orbs

I just wanted to let you know
That I am learning to show
Expressions and feelings from the heart
Hidden deep from within me

You will come to understand
That I will deal the deciding hand
And turn my life around
With the emotions I have found

Deep inside of me…

I have feelings, too.

A fan poem themed around Vivi Ornitier and myself. Because we both share similar personality traits. And we are just both seemingly similar in every way. And if any of you have played FFIX, want to play it, etc… then you will know whom I’m talking about.

This was written from the heart. So please do be careful if you are to judge this. I am feeling rather fragile right now. And I could fall apart emotionally at any precise moment.

Di’m torry. sniff Dat to beautiful.

How To Mend A Lonely Heart

Emotions sweeping over me
Leaving me feeling trapped
No longer feeling free
I don’t know how to act

Feelings washing over me
Carrying me off to another place
I am swept off my feet
And soon I can’t get up

How to mend a lonely heart?
I have no idea on where to start
I need some help if you just listen
I can’t do this on my own

I try to find a way to be strong
But it seems like every chance I attempt
I feel a clench
And it just seems so wrong

Now all that is left is a mess
Of tears and desperate sobs
I can’t keep going on like this
Is there something of which I missed

I am left in wonder…

How to mend a lonely heart?

Experimental work…

I’m feeling extremely lonely right now. Tonight is, perhaps, the most strangest of nights. And I usually never quite feel this way. But it seems like loneliness is rearing it’s head and taking a bite out of me.

I just wish I had more friends… who’d be on when I need them the most… like right now. I seem to be struggling with each passing moment and going through random, sporadic crying episodes, as well. :`-(

An extremely emotional piece that is describing how I feel tonight. I hate feeling so alone. I wish I had more friends who used AIM/MSN or something that we could just chatter with. Of course I will admit I got a bad case of “conversation ADD” and may switch from subject to subject on the fly as I tend to grow bored with subjects and shift at random.

Well, there we go. And I apologize for it to be so “sorrow-filled”. But even deep, heart-felt emotions like this are good inspiration tools for poetry from within my hollow shell.

Great stuff! :smiley:

You’ve got me itching to go back to writing poems. :stuck_out_tongue: Though, the ones I did were pure disaster. I suppose practice makes perfect - would be nice to have poems within my novel.

A Gentle Lullaby

The night is here
The time is near
When we should be deep
Into the throes of sleep

A soft melody plays
Within the ears of children
And soon as their eyes close
Wondrous dreams start to begin

In a gentle lullaby
Like a warm carress
There will be no more stress
As we sleep it all away

Feelings of peace will sweep over us
And Mr. Sandman is whom we can trust
For he will guide us to safety
Dreamland is where we will be free

Time has no meaning
So we will keep on dreaming
And enjoy our moments of peace
Our life finally feels complete

So as a gentle melody is heard…

From a gentle lullaby.

A new poem that I just wrote up. And possibly one of my most favorite ones of all. Definitely original, song-like, and has a very heartwarming touch to it.

Dude, your poetry is absolutely beautiful I think you are the best Ratatouille poet here on PP.

#9

Eh…

My poetic skills are bland and rather boring. But thanks for the sentiment and all. I know that’s abit harsh of me to say that. But I’m a tough critique of my own work. And to me… alot of it is just blah in my eyes… while it may appear wonderful in another person’s eyes. Alot of the times I just write it up and don’t even go back over it.

Oh well…

I’m feeling so increasingly shy right now to post even more. :`-(

#10

Bland and boring? DUde, we really all like it. Please post more!

No Way To Quell My Pain

I’m forever trapped by my loneliness
I feel like I’m such a mess
People often just ignore me
And all I want is to be free

What am I going to do?
I have no clue
Every time I try to stand
It seems like such a big demand

Is there no way to quell my pain?
I feel so ashamed
It is ruling my life
And it’s tearing me apart

Can’t believe what’s going on
I try to be strong
But it seems so wrong
And I have no idea on how to go along

So I keep asking myself
Why do I even try?
I don’t know why
But it seems better than living in hell

All that’s left is my wonderment…

Is there no way to quell my pain?

Sad, sorrow-filled piece… :`-(

Bend Your Mind

It’s time to break free
If you know what I mean
Let your thoughts fly
I will tell you why

Imagination will soar
Life is such a bore
It’s time for fantasy to come in
Are you ready to begin?

It’s time to bend your mind
Let imagination take you away
It’s time to play
For a good while

Can you feel yourself lifted?
Because you were born gifted
With the ability to create
It’s no time to deliberate

Just open up
And let it all out
Even if you have to shout
Just don’t remain shut up

You just got to…

Bend your mind.

An inspirational piece to counter the sadness of my latest piece. Haha.

My favorites are the happy ones, but they’re all so beautiful.

They’d all make great songs; hmmm… :bulb:

This Is Who I Am

You seem to think
That all I am is sad
On the outside
But I ain’t got nothing to hide

I am just open with my emotions
I am not always positive
But you just got to humor me
And hear me out

This is who I am
And nothing can change me
For if I want to go on
I got to be strong

I keep saying I feel weak
Down in my knees
That I can’t seem to stand
That it’s all a big demand

Well, maybe it’s true
Sometimes I have no clue
As to what I can do
I just hope I can get through

And just show everyone…

This is who I am.

A poem which details me in alot of ways.

I Dare You

I dare you to be for real
This is the way I deal
I hope you can handle it
Because can you handle me?

Feeling like I want to be the one
I just want to have some fun
I’m about to come undone
When I say I dare you

I hope you see from my point of view
Because you really need to get a clue
My attitude is coming to play
When I say I dare you

I dare you to step up to me
I bet you aren’t ready
You can’t even stand steady
I finally realize that I am free

Why can’t I play around with you?
I have so many things I like to do
But you seem too scared to come out
It makes me want to shout…

I dare you.

A more daring piece than most of my other efforts.

Burning Like Fire

I’m burning up
Burning like fire
An overwhelming desire
I feel so hot

I am tired of living today
When everyone thinks I’m a toy
To be used for their own joy
But I am no longer gonna play

I want to show them a new side of me
One that has never been seen
I’m not trying to be mean
But I just want to be free

I’m tired of letting others control me
I seek others to console me
But I feel like I’m being torn asunder
Like I’m being put under

It’s time I break out my attitude
I’m no longer feeling blue
What I’m saying is the truth
So can you handle it?

Burning like fire
An overwhelming desire
I am gonna break free
You will see a brand new me

I’m burning up…

Burning like fire!

Burning like a hot fire… quite obviously.

Crystal Teardrops

I’d like to share a story
About a girl named Glory
Who was the fairest of maidens
Across the entire land

She wore a dress of fine silk
And she’d carry a canister of milk
From the barn she would work at
And her figure was as lithe as a cat

Often times she’d spend her days crying
And all the while sighing
And wondering why no one loved her
As crystal teardrops fell from her face

She was alone most of the days
All she had to keep her from the depths
Were her animals whom she loved
They helped to keep her from falling

And soon she heard a calling
Of a figure within the nearby forest
And in a gentle chorus
She heard the sound of laughter

It was all her imagination
Stuff of her own creation
She still felt the tinge of sadness
As crystal teardrops fell from her face

She was a wonderful maiden, yet…

Crystal teardrops fell from her face.

This poem is more symbolic towards me than anything. It’s a more story-telling piece of poetry than one of your usual song-like poems. It has an underlying theme of ‘loneliness’. And it kinda describes me in it.

Although I am definitely not a girl. So I won’t fit with the girly aspect of it. Haha.

Haunted

Entrapped by an alternate reality
Nothing is as it seems
Stuff so surreal and dark
Some things are truly bizarre

Ghostly visages appear before me
Something sinister which compels me
Lying in the darkness within the shadowy depths
Causing me a ton of stress

I’m being haunted
By the ghosts of the forgotten
Life must have been surely rotten
For now I’m feeling daunted

I have no idea what this truly means
Something is coming after me
I don’t know if I’ll ever be free
Nothing seems to be right

I wonder why I endure this
Is it something that I missed
I am lost in my thoughts
Is this just a dream which has been wrought

I’m being haunted
By the memories of long ago
I am filled by a never ending sorrow
Soon the world will be painted black

All life in white will fade away…

Now that I’m being haunted…

By the ghost of you.

Inspired by the movie “Silent Hill” and it’s games. And the fact that I was enthralled by the entire movie. It was amazing beyond words. It gave me inspiration to write up this rather intriguing piece which is usually a step beyond what I normally tend to write about.

Excellent poetry LCR. Really heart touching and powerful.

Devotion

I will defend for the people
I will fight for a good cause
I will never do any wrong
I will try to make things right

I am a hero
In the eyes of the world
I am a warrior
In the heart of my soul

Devotion
Will see me through
Will make me new
The words I speak are true

I won’t let anyone down
I will turn things around
I will fight off the darkness
I will clean up the mess

It’s a side you ain’t never seen
You probably don’t get what I mean
When I reveal what’s underneath
I am not hiding beneath

Devotion
A word so powerful
Everything is so analytical
I’m filled with light

It’s time to do right…

Devotion!

After fighting a buttload of shyness… a new poem by me.

Really powerful poem LCR! Keep it up!

#19

That was really good poem there! I liked it.

#20

Been forever since I posted on here…

So here is another poem for some “feel good” vibes from me.

Rock Your Mind

I will make it clear
I hope you’ve got a good ear
It’s time to listen up
Because I refuse to shut up

I am gonna take this time
To free my body
And I will lose control
On the dance floor

I will rock your mind
If I got the time
I’ll free your soul
As we break it down

We will turn up the heat
All you need to do is move your feet
As you shake your thing
Now make your body swing

I hope you are ready
Because I sure am
If you really want more
Then get on the dance floor

I will rock your mind
All I need is time
To set my spirit free
If you know what I mean

Now let’s get up and dance…

I will rock your mind.
