I know that many of us write poetry. This thread is for any poetry that we wrote and/or find. Please feel free to comment on anything that you read...but try to keep it civil.

I'll make the first post.

To the Lost and Broken

The toll of life has lead you to the brink,
No path or light in the uncharted wilderness we venture day by day,
This fight for survival has left you bleeding and cold,
Feeling like there is only one escape,
But the battle is not over,
For the key to over come is right before your eyes the whole time,
when one may fail,
Many can conquer


I know its not the best but I kinda like it...

Snow of Memories

The falling snow makes my heart
Feel all the more low
As the blinding white tells of its lore.
My tears but freeze in sorrow
As a deep pain sears my inner thoughts
And my doubts but quake in low murmurs.

The song of the birds die into the night
As my soul takes flight from the lies
That have all but left me crying
From the lying beings who have sinned.

I look to a sky
Of which binds that by no ties
And silently notice the red eyes
Hidden behind a dead shadow,
Where the meadows are drenched in warm blood;
Leaving a stench of rotting life
Where strife claimed that which walked
Of a talk not true to you nor I.

A mist becomes of the sullen ground
And erases that which is all abound
Including your screaming sounds.
Your soul lain to rest
In the snow of a purity at best.
I see you smile
For no more does the blood
Stain your crime where you
Left the children in lines
Upon the demented and
Frozen signs.

The snow falls
The sun lies stalled
Your soul but flies free
In the skies of misty
Thoughts, true to you and I.

-Astraeus- aka Ishy




~The whispering of the birds sound through the air, their music like the song of the ancients beyond the well of time. I wander in their midst, silently dancing through the mist of their tears and hidden sorrows. Their heartbeat like the drums of a thousand spirits upon the traveling plains, chanting to a rhythm deep within their heart. I close my eyes, as my heart slowly comes to rise of its screeching voice from its deep and imbedded place within my soul. Here where I lay upon the grass of dreams and memories forgotten, I hear your voice from across the veil, whispering words of unknown power and trailing upon its path, a blood stained heart in wrath.. I press my face against the ground, and I listen once more, far deeper within the heart of the being whose life is but the mirror itself. My skin cold... fading... dying, I hear a sad voice rustling through the dead leaves of the forest bound, "You are no more than the mask itself in the dead of winter." I smile as I once more lay my eyes upon the death of the world, as my soul slips from its place and disappears behind the hidden lace of all times lost.~

Infinite

Like a grain of sand
Swallowed by the desert
Like a drop of rain
That falls from darkened clouds

I am overwhelmed
I stand here awed and humbled
At the feet of giants
Whose shadows stretch for miles


Staggering and infinite
And full of ageless grace
The universe seemed limitless
Without any time
Without any place
Staggering and infinite
The beauty of it all
I feel insignificant
Never have I ever felt so small

Like a century
That passes in a day's time
Like an endless loop
That shudders to a stop

The world redefined
An existence without boundaries
I am overcome
I am lost within it's scale



Like a drop of rain
Swallowed by the desert
Like a grain of sand
That sinks beneath the waves

Even the greatest peak
Will one day wear to nothing
Even the deepest sea
Will one day dry to dust

The Scattered Rhyme of Age Old Times

This light from glowing ages
Surpassed by all life's changes
Hidden from soulful strife
Here it lingers.

Through misted clouds
And hidden doubts,
Its light a wonder
Within this pitch-black night.

Throwing colors hold no time
Forever they linger in rhythmic rhyme
Holding to no value
No such human crime.

Dancing upon the hills
The mills upon the meadow silently spin
Where the shadowed hands lay idly still,
Coming to death in this quiet dim light.

No screams,
No dreams,
Not a shoulder to lean
Nor a thought to be mean.

The shifting thoughts
Holding no such doubts
Search for what may be sought,
Yet is it for naught?

These words swallowed in whole
Do they make it too dull?
Or is it the lake that sparkles so
Within this unknowing realm?

Upon the glittering untold lake
Lie so many treasures to take
But if such a thief were to make
That thieving snatch, but he to lay in catch.

The shifting colors,
Fading from human disorders
Lays to rest
Upon this crest of a glowing red moon.

The bloody tears I see
The murderous thoughts I hear
The horrifying falling glimpse
But a mere sheltered glance.

This rhyme
But an age old time
Flipped anyway with a dime
Would always be mine.

-Astraeus- aka Ishy

I just kind of wrote what came to mind...

Within my heart of shadowed thoughts, I hear the whisper from within the embracing darkness.
Wandering within this dream of a forest lost and silent, I listen to the wind within my spirit dance of an eternal melody, reflecting your heart's desire.

I found these lingering... I do so hope you enjoy them if so...

Darkness treads upon the dreams of a shifting balance as the light scatters into the caverns of our beating hearts. Lift the eyes from within your soul to the heavens above and embrace that which smiles upon you. Forget not the song that weaves the foundation of existence in every realm and possibility. Our dreams are boundless as is the eternal life weaving the threads to the greatest story through the ages.
~Ast~♥ aka Ishy


When I close my eyes and dream of worlds far away and yet so near, I can hear a voice softly fading away into the wind. How I wish I could fly away with you... wherever you are.
~Astraeus aka Ishy


Where the light of a flickering flame dances amongst the shadows drifting within, always and forever, shall it continue to shine even when there appears to be no hope.
~ Ast aka Ishy


Wandering the deceitful lies of a picture framed in harmony, i stumble upon a small loose thread unveilling the loneliness underneath. The hushed whispers echo off the barren walls, creating a wailing symphony clawing at the strings within my heart.
~Ast aka Ishy


Like a feathered embrace, soft and light, you're here and gone again in the whispering wind.
~ Ast aka Ishy


There was once a time when the flowers danced beneath the sun and songs of harmony rippled through the air. Now all that remains are withered hearts and broken souls where the tears of dreams rain upon the battered world.
- Ast aka Ishy


A gentle sigh ripples through the flowers entangled in the threads of dreams, causing the leaves of our spirits to dance within the shrouded corridors of ancient lands.
~ Ast aka Ishy


A soft whisper threads a story within my heart and sleeps in my soul like a dormant star adrift in the darkness.
~Ast aka Ishy


You're a star in my dreams like the moon is to the darkened world when the sun is showering it's warm embrace to rising eyes in another time. Let me bloom within your heart like a flower upon midsummers eve as the embers dance to a rumbling thunder...
~Ast aka Ishy

more than you know

Out of the darkness,
Out of the night;
I see your smile,
Burning so bright.

I close my eyes,
But I still see.
I cover my face,
But you stay with me.

Through my trouble,
And all of my pain;
I’ve got nothing to lose,
But you to gain.

When you hold me,
My heart starts to glow.
I love you
More than you know.

From the crypts of the barren snow burdened hills arises the soul of a lost one forever condemned to a life of solitude.
Here this spirit wanders the corridors in a world all but forgotten to the native heart.
