Poetry

[Junior]

Untitled


A strategic system that strain the
brain, bold barricades boldly
hold my heart hostage
I victim is vengeance my vendetta to vain
thoughts trained taught to
face the facts and to freeze my feeling
puzzling pieces to put into position of a perfect portrait
of peace or at least a acknowledgment ahead
that destiny discovers our demise
live life lonely, lack of laughing
homes halfway built, broken, burnt
down. . . defenseless ,denial, depressing
a dark dense, downpour on
Stony steps stumbling and slipping into

Subconscious . . . supernatural it seems,
I confined In my conscious cause coldness
Cover and embrace the entity in everyone eyes.
The sun will shine star’s will still be glistening
Gathering of nothing necessary, vocal cords vanish in vain
And my pen will always be flowing with pain
Why we water our words down diluting its potential state.

I feel like you are a real poet. Your work reminds me of the old poems we did in school that we had to analyze and really understand them. *re-reads it* I think I'll save it to my computer...

On the topic of poetry, I don't write it, but I *love* reading it.(I also memorize all my favourite poems). I don't have any favourite poets but favourite poems.

A few would be 'Because I could not stop for death' by Emily Dickinson , 'Life is fine' by Langston Hughes, 'Follower' by Seamus Heaney and 'It is better to be together'(I don't know the poet). And of course, my all time favourite, The Donkey by G.K.Chesterton.

EDIT, I forgot Outwitted! by Edwin Markham.

He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!
