Renkhal's Words }{ Poetry

[renkhal]

So, I decided that I wanted to post some of my poetry, since I see so many artsy things. I can't draw worth crap, I'll tell you that now.

Anyway, I wrote this... God, two years ago? I don't know; ask Kagami. She was the one it was written for, back either my senior year or my first year of college...

Wait - did I even give this to her?

Nevermind, don't ask her. She probably doesn't know either.

Snow

Pure and unending
Like my love for you
The snow falls gently
Cold on my bare skin

I want to see you
I want to feel you
But the distance between us
Prevents us from being together

Tears form in my eyes
But I cannot cry
The cold has frozen them
Teardrops on my cheeks

Why must we be so far apart?
Must all good things end like this?
The tears are falling faster now
And I can no longer stop them

I long to hold you close
To hear your heart beating
And feel you close to me
Sharing our warmth in this cold snow

Awwwwwwww. I love it. Totally sets me into the mood! I love poetry. I never post mine tho. =P Dang you're talented tho.

[renkhal]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it!
... I don't usually post my work, but for some reason I just felt like posting it here. =]

[*Kymmi*]

Well I'd like to read more if you ever wanna post any more. ^^

[renkhal]

As soon as I find the flash drive again, I will...
I got mad or something and threw it. I think it's behind the bookshelf...
And I'm pretty sure that my other two don't have any poetry on them.

[Kaia]

That was lovely!!!!

Yes, please post more. I absolutely love poetry so it would be wonderful if you found your flash drive. I'm sure you have a lot of other nice ones. ^^

I only really write haiku's...

[renkhal]

I like haiku's!
I'm not good at them though...
I remember trying to do them in Japanese class several years ago.
The teacher even made us make books, with needles and thread and paper and cardboard...
Me and needles don't really agree...

Ha! I founds one!
And I didn't even have to move my bookshelf yet. =D
It was posted on a site, and I almost forgot about it...
But, yeah.
I'm posting it here now too!

Invisible

You walk with him and talk about everything

You hold his hand and smile a little

He turns to hug you and kisses you gently

And you kiss him back, again and again and again

Jealousy rages within me but I hide it

I’m just the friend who listens to you when you need it

And gives you advice as though I didn’t see

I talk to you like I’m just a friend despite my feelings

I hoped and was given denial, rejection, solitude

I love and was beaten again and again by others

I listened and was ignored when I poured everything out

I gave and was tossed aside like a used tissue

I yelled and was ripped apart by my own sadness

I cried and was comforted only by words of comfort

I need more than the occasional whisper of your touch

Just a sentence of comfort and love can’t sustain me

Seeing you daily isn’t like seeing you always and forever

Being yours and having you is my dream, my hope

Despair is my best friend, and depression its cousin

They both live with me, constantly putting me down

Hell is my home, because my heart has gone away

You’ve torn it out and ripped it to pieces without knowing

Why should I stay in this dreadful place

Surrounded by happiness when I am in pieces?

Who shall I turn to when the tears are falling

Because you’ve moved on and left me alone?

I’m nothing, no one, and I’m invisible to you


I forgot this was so sad...
This must be another one from my senior year.
I was questionably depressed and my parents and friends just made worse back then.

[Kaia]

Even though it's sad, I still really like it. You're really good at this. Most definitely keep this up!

I know what you mean though. I can basically read how I felt through the different times of my life just by the things I wrote as I was experiencing them.

I shared the same feelings. They're no fun, that's for sure. *pat pat*

[renkhal]

Thanks.

I actually forgot about this poem until I posted it and reread it.
Wow, I wonder what other poems I completely forgot about?
Hm... This could be a fun adventure!
And since I can't get behind the bookcase until I unpack some more, I'll just have to get into my original handwritten pieces soon...

[Kaia]

Can't wait to hear them! ^^

[Omio]

Hm. Looks as if I have to start myself up a new region; a new aspect to poke in.

Mind you, I'm taking from one. Anyone here heard of Slam Poetry? If so, I can easily pop that out.

[renkhal]

So... I found another random one on my computer... Also probably from my senior year...

And my parents were convinced I wasn't depressed!
Tsk tsk...
Reasons I walked out after my dad kicked me out and then tried to take it back...

Without You

I’m losing myself

In this darkness

I cannot be found

Without you with me

I’ve lost my light

Since it was you

I cannot see

Since you left my heart alone

I’m an empty shell

A bullet already shot

Nothing left for me here

But to sit and stare at a wall

I’ve got my friends

But they’re not you

I’ll never find a

New one soon

I poured my heart

Like a day

I changed for you

Just to be pushed away

I’m not your pet

I’m not your toy

Don’t use me like that

And then walk away

Without you I’m nothing to count on

Without you I’m just skin and bones

Without you all my tears fall freely now

Without you I’m lost forever

Without you I cannot find my way

Without you I’m free again

And I miss the shackles more than ever

Oh, and this was original in "song" form...
Well, not really, but it was supposed to be.
Then I rewrote it and changed some things.
Now it's just a poem!
