December 24 poems i wrote from dec.15th to dec.24th These don't all have titles yet. I'd appreciate any suggestions :) Dec. 15th 2007: I've been drawn too many times Captured - always in the same light. I no longer wish to see my own face Painted so beautifully Inspired by tragedy. How many would still call me their muse If I am no longer immortalized? Unable to escape, faced with infinite lies - Through your arts I see My life's but a fantasy. I believe the purpose of my creation And this predestined path deep inside Is a sacrifice for the good of many The blood I bleed Is ink for your stories. How was I chosen for this wonderful scheme? I never have to fear I will die. Though ageless I be, now and forever, I must fall eternally For men of tragic mortality. Dec.16th, 2007: When lemons gather around your soul Convince them to be sweet. Tell them you won't turn sour anymore Invite them to have a seat. Recount your tale of a previous battle When an army of lemons won. Exaggerate to convince them and yourself That those dark days are done. Within the Trojan Horse warriors hid stealthily Wanting to destroy. In the guise of a perfect gentleman Lemons mimicked the ploy. Stumbling through the bloodshed grounds Medusa saved your soul You would have cried new oceans and rivers Until she turned you to stone. So now you welcome a life full of lemons Whether they are sour or sweet. It makes no difference to a woman of stone For there could be worse fates to meet. Dec. 17th, 2007: For the first time in my life I saw a shooting star tonight, A solitary traveler speeding by. In the blink of an eye it moves on through the sky. I am thankful for such beauty Which conceals the distressing reality Tonight I encountered an old heartache And I remembered the tears he'd take. A shooting star I saw tonight Or perhaps only a trick of the light But I welcome any excuse for happiness To fill this void once full of emptiness. Thank you for sending this beautiful mirage. Thank you for lighting this darkness with stars. Dec.24th 2007: She falls too easily ~too readily And the damage is etched deeper each time. If she is too happy ~she worries Because she aniticipates the ominous signs. What now? A cookie? ~It can't be... The fortune within shuns her negative mind. "Look inside, look deeply ~past uncertainties. Your history of heart aches have made you blind." Only in her poetry ~she's free The anguis can flow from all she holds inside. She laughs at the irony ~disbelievingly. Once again, she knows her heart must cross the line. She gives too quickly ~too willingly And the damage engraved grows with time. She remembers sadly ~but also gladly And again wipes away all hope from her eyes. Ok that's all for now :P I hope you'll like them. I know they're a little depressing for Christmas haha had to get it on paper though :P ~Elaine December 09 I Would... Hey I wrote this poem last night :) hope you like it even though it's a little depressing haha I Would... I would condemn myself to a life of misery I would give all my happiness away. I would sacrifice everything in a heartbeat If it meant you wouldn't have to leave here today. I would sentence myself to a life full of torment. I would gladly trade destinies with you. I would exchange anything for your existence If somehow I could help you escape from the truth. The pale light from the moon Exaggerates your fading colours. I start to hum your favourite tune As we approach the final hours. I would volunteer all my time to every charity. I would fight selflessly for the good of man. I would sell my soul to change this reality If I could once more feel the warmth in your hand. ~Elaine Kao~ December 04 The Right Thief Hey so this poem was written on Nov.21st but i totally forgot about it because it was at the back of my calculus notebook hehe...but yea today i happened to flip open my book in such a way that it opened to this page! and i hurriedly flipped to hide my poems from the people sitting beside me lol >_< that was my mini-adventure of the day :D So...i don't know if this is a good title or not...i'm hoping someone will come up with a better suggestion? Anyway...without further ado..... The Right Thief There is no escape when someone captures your soul. No matter how much you struggle you will become lost. The more you fight it, the more entangled you become. It becomes an intoxicating spell, I've been told. Suppose you put up every defense known to man... Love will find a way to destroy the thickest walls. When Destiny had tied you to someone's heart, It would not matter how fast and far you ran. The only way you can save yourself - they say - is to pray. Pray that the Fates favour you and will protect you. Hope that the thief of your soul will stay by your side As a friend, or more, keeping you safe and happy everyday. If the Fates neglect you once or even twice, and you become undone Thank them, for it will be much sweeter when the right thief comes. ~~et voilà mes amis! lol hope y'all like it and tell me what you think :) i ain't gonna improve without pointers! ~~Elaine Kao |
