duke nukem

These great walls

Built high to hold

That which hearts did hold dear.

But such overlooked

By eager constructors

Danger which foresight held clear.

For not time

Nor place

Nor concrete provided

Prevented those had hope'd

From placing such stake

In that ground swells retake

Rending foundation divided.

As sea doth reclaim

Bastion fact turned from sand

In less than but slight moment

Does time wash from hearts

The affection once gave

Such as sand castle oppose'd the wave.

Great, love it! Why would you need me when you can write such great stuff yourself?

God I just noticed this Duke! Expressive, poignant stuff once again.

 

On a side note, maybe you can write me some lyrics for my songs and when I rise to fame you can have cut. What say you? Yea?! *nuge nudge wink wink* lol

 

Anyways keep it up, always look forward to your poems popping up now and then in this thread.

Thanks! Haha sounds like a deal And I'm sure you could write stuff, just throw down what comes into your head, that's what I do so I don't lose any good bits haha!

Thought you were one I could trust

I your only lover,

Till I came home to you

In the arms of another,

Could scant find the words to convey my thoughts

But I suppose in the end it don't matter.

I gave it my all

And pit in my best,

At the end of the day

Just could not pass the test,

Was it just me or maybe just you

I'm inclined to believe it's the later.

So I'm moving on

Headed from here,

My head plots the path

But my heart likes to steer,

Try as I might I don't have the strength

To find my way through all this clatter.

So I look for a car

that's going my way,

Despite what I feel

I can no longer stay,

For what has transpired cannot be undone

Can't piece back together what's shattered.

Because to you nothing else mattered.

Some savory stuff here man!

Splendid my dear

Haha I have no idea why you would be mad but sorry!

Good stuff here man. Keep it up.

Yay!

Haha that's a weird smiley.

Danke Rosel!

And say what now?

It's quiet now,

The earth has settled.

Without a sound,

Two hearts are metaled.

The cross I bear,

Weight to crush my soul.

The scar you wear,

Never to be full.

Two were one,

Lives torn asunder.

So half did run,

Hiding from the thunder.

What is the cost,

In this game we play.

When all is lost,

Beyond what can be payed.

Six in hand,

In the hands of six.

Transcend this land,

What is broken without fix.

Not Casanova? Really? Haha

Nice! Very suave rahul haha

Alright don't yell at me for posting a bunch of stuff today. Just trying to write stuff down as it comes in case I want it for something later!

"Don't Forget"

Last night you came around,

Got to leave this town,

There must be something to my life.

Girl don't talk that way,

Begging for you just to stay,

But you didn't hear my words.

So don't forget me,

Please don't forget me.

Off you went to see the world,

With you went that lovely girl,

The one I would always hold tight.

Kicked around here for a while,

Tried to force a truthful smile,

But never would it hold on my face.

So don't forget me,

Please don't forget me.

Wonder what you see out there,

Train by land plane by air,

Remember the one you left behind.

So don't forget me,

Please don't forget me.

As years pass hope it fades,

Through my life each day I wade,

The girl who I loved not to return.

Until the day I view your eyes,

Clouds will not clear from the skies,

A prayer for your safe return.

So don't forget me,

Please don't forget me.

Thank you very much!

Also I'll need to edit a few parts but I do want to try to write some music for it.

Haha well the first part I thought up in the shower and then the rest sort of flowed. So uh... maybe like 20 minutes? Sorry But thanks!

Can't find reason to carry on,

All color drained from my life.

Said you couldn't stay, now you're gone,

Lost my friend, my lover, my wife.

Try to fit the pieces back in place,

Still gotta face the morning sun.

But I've grown so weary in this race,

I ain't got, the strength, to run.

So tell me please why don't you stay,

I sure could use the company.

No reason for you to go away,

And take, your love, from me.

This old dog is outta' tricks,

Can't even stand to learn one more.

Now bound with chains, torn with whips,

Since you left, my ring, you wore.

The house that we built stands alone,

Nobody lives between its walls.

Built from wood, love and stone,

Like you, and I, it falls.

So tell me please why don't you stay,

I sure could use the company.

No reason for you to go away,

And take, your love, from me.

All I loved and held dear,

Has left me without rhyme or reason.

So as I close my final year,

In this, my final, season.

Maybe one day just you and I,

Will have another chance at this.

And we'll meet in paradise,

Your lips, again, I'll kiss.

So tell me please why don't you stay,

I sure could use the company.

No reason for you to go away,

And take, your love, from me.

So tell me please why don't you stay,

I sure could use the company.

No reason for you to go away,

And take, your love, from me.

No reason for you to go away,

And take, your love, from me.

And take... Your love... From me...

You tell 'em OP!

Haha, well, it's a metaphor really. Don't miss your chance to do anything, as tomorrow may be too late.

Haha nah, ain't that good, lots of other far more poetic people on here. But thanks

Thanks! Kind of got choked up at one point coming up with lines, thinking about applying this to someone's life. Ouch that would suck!

Now I enjoy reading and interpreting poetry, but I'm not exactly the best poet haha I just thought this one up when I was eating lunch and decided to write it down. Nothing complicated, just a simple one.

"I Wanted to Tell You I Love You"

I wanted to tell you I love you,

When your eyes first met mine,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But I knew there would be time.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

All the hours we spent together,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But waited to know you better.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

Through every argument and fight,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But wasn't sure if it was right.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

As I saw you walk away,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But my voice remained the same.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

Sitting here alone,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But was too afraid to phone.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

As they laid you to the ground,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But thought you'd always be around.

I wanted to tell you I love you,

Now stuck in listless trance,

I wanted to tell you I love you,

But have lost my final chance.

Very nice! Like your sig too, very deep writer Gibran was.

Does anyone know the best mediums or mixtures to use with oil. Also, what types of technique/brush works best for something like animal fur. Thanks!

Haikus are easy,

But they don't always make sense,

Refrigerator.
