So, since I post so much poetry it was suggested I just make one thread for it all. Welp, here it is. Come in, ready stuff, critique it. Post your own stuff, I don't give a shit. If you do I'll let you know what I think. But anyways here's some fucking beautiful ass poetry.
Empty Halls Chasing her down empty halls She disappears in the shadows Through the haunted doorways I can smell her angelic scent Her laugh echos and teases me Her song brings me to my knees The tail of her dress turns the corner Yet she is nowhere to be seen Her Pale skin glows in the moonlight For only but moment I follow but she leads me on Through the endless halls Of my own darkened purview
Clouds Afire Light the clouds afire Crack the sky Drown the land in light Orange waves wash ashore And fade to gray Peeking over mountains purple The all seeing eye draws heavy And slips away to sleep in peace And dream of the moon so pale

This would totally make an early 90's NIN release, with a nice synth and some banging drums in the background. Awesome... in a really weird way.
I see what you did you there that's weird though, cause this totally came out of me dusting off my old school punk playlist.
Just rewrote my prologue. Probably not for the last time. "What's going on? I need status reports, people! Jakobs?" Captain Duet yelled over the blaring alarms. The metallic plating of the deck drenched in red from the emergency lights. "Fuel tanks are reading critical, Captain!" Jakobs yelled back in his southern accent. Normally Jakobs was could fix any mechanical problem you could think of. This one was a little out of his hands. "I need you to drop them!" Duet yelled not looking back at the engineer from her center front position. She was unable to break her gaze from the main bay window, blue sky peeking through the glowing red atmosphere. "Boy, wish I'd thought of that soo-" "Drop the sarcasm, Erik!" She cut him off. "What are our options?" "We have to break atmosphere before the fire hits fuel!" He said. "Hendricks, What's our ETA on that?" She asked the scrawny, blonde pilot. "1 minute, 20!" He squeaked out, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Jako-" "Not quick enough!" he answered preemptively. "Shit." the Captain breathed to herself. They were 30 seconds in to their trip and on the verge of failure. She turned to look back at her crew, strapped in and helpless. She felt the feeling of failure run up her spine. That scared her more than death. Jordan was unstrapped and sobbing into Li-Xa’s chest. "Ferrier, I need you buckled in girl!" She had to use all her might to reseat herself. She wiped her wet face on her glove, moved her dyed hair out of eyes, and took in a deep breath. Li-Xa offered Jordan her hand. She locked on to it as though she were giving birth. Duet turned back to the window, the atmosphere was growing thin. They had to make it, they were supposed explore the whole damn universe. They were supposed to make it to the very edge. Now they weren’t sure if they could make it off planet. “Saito! Can we use the Dark Matter Engines?” The stars began to poke through the blue. “Negative Captain, If we use them here we’ll collide with the station above.” Just then Jakobs yelled the sweetest words Duet had ever heard. "They're free!" Those were the final words before a hole blew in the ceiling. They didn't get far away enough from the tanks. The screams of the crew were sucked out of The Bragi along with everything that wasn't fixed to the ship. A secondary explosion rattled the ship and things went silent. The Captain awoke to wind rushing against the back of her neck. Her eyes adjusted to find herself in free fall and The Bragi beginning to chase her. A piece scrap metal flew past, nearly impaling her. She shifted her weight and faced the ground. She was headed for the gulf below, the best luck she’d had all day. But it was coming up quick. She looked back once more to find something coming at her, something aflame. She tried shifting her weight to get away but it struck her hard and flipped her back around. She couldn’t make out what it was until she saw pink highlights flailing in the wind, it was Ferrier. Duet didn’t have time to be horrified. The water was coming up quick. Ferrier splashed in the water below. The Captain straightened herself out to minimize impact. Just before hitting she took a deep breath and plugged her nose. She hit the water hard, making her head throb, though the suit surely saved her quite a lot of pain, if not her life. She looked up to the surface where pieces of flaming scrap metal fell from the sky. She didn't know if it was safe to go back up. She didn’t know if she even wanted to go back up. The headlines began to play. “Bragi Mission fails at the hands of incompetent Captain.” The surface of the water was engulfed in flames, the water around her glowed a bright orange. She let the air out of her lungs and sunk into deeper into the water. The colors faded and she slipped into the dark depths below.
I guess this one is kind of heavy, at least it feels that way to me. It's kind of a personal thing. Slip Away Sweet release I let it all go I'm finding peace As I slip away As I fade to gray I'd say I'm sorry To anyone who had stayed But here I sit At the end of time My voice echoes Off of empty space Please, someone find me In my isolated state Just one last face Before I stain the walls Sleek and white I lay my head Only for tonight Remember who I was Not who you find Don't remember me For who I truly was
Singularity Lucid sky Everything here Right before our eyes Electric love Dance with me now In this one moment Of complete compassion Pulsing together So careless Dripping with sweat Get closer to me now We are a singularity It electrifies It builds you up It drops you down Falling through the clouds I need you To stay with me now
Cold Remains Here I stand Frozen in time Ashes of my mistakes Falling from the cold sky The only light That guides my path Are the days of yesteryear Burning at my back All I have here now To warm my hands Cold and cracked Are the smoldering remains Of the bridges That once lead home
So this came after reading a disgusting article justifying transphobia. Just a disgusting display of the depths of human ignorance. Vitriol Vomit forth Spewing vitriol Your tongue carries the plague of our day A whore to misinformation A hive of putrid ill will Spread the ignorance of the past Infect the children of tomorrow Gangrene and obsolete Shoot the same vein once again Isolate and dehumanize Put another out on the street Follow that same broken path Paved in blood Laugh as you walk through The Land of Hanging Trees Shadows of the damned Cast upon your face Cold and righteous Dance in the black rain That consumes your world
I felt awfully metal when I wrote it Castle in the Clouds Up here in our castle of clouds Apparitions cast shadows against the soft walls of pink Towering high Never Looking down We dance the evening away Though the day was gloomy The walls bleed a dreary gray Our time is now It all falls away As the setting sun paints the halls the sweetest color of peach The starry night begins call We'll dance across the heavens Our worries will fall like rain Sweeping across the land We will cleanse the earth anew We ride the wind over the hills We dance our way into a new day
Pity Hole I often ponder My own worth I wonder why You all are still here At my side As I drag you down Let's see the depths How far will I go Never stopping to see If we've crossed the line The spool twirls as we fall The string that binds us Is growing thin Down and down Where's looking for the bottom Let's find it together
The Philosopher's Den On your knees no one is there still you pray Break the bread drink the blood swallow it whole Eyes in hand absent mind worship the dead Condemn me so freely free thought dies I am Blasphemy for I am not of the chosen son I crumble in holy hands and fall upon unholy lands here I preside In the den of the philosopher to live as I will
Oh God, it's been a while. Burn it all Dying here on hallowed floors Left to die bleeding from tired eyes But I won't stay down No, I won't die Look into me as I burn your paper crown Angels fall like rain from blackened skies Your wretched banners go up in flames I'll fucking light it up I'll burn it all I'll stand on the ashes of these tainted halls I wish it didn't have to be this way But we've let it all go to shit Now our love sinks into my all consuming blackened tar pit You won't see the sun You won't see the light Now live forever in my perpetual night
This dying moment In this dying moment The snow caresses my face The bitter cold runs it's fingers through my brittle veins Desolate forests swallow me whole With the lifeless trees I shall preside The fruits of my labor melt away with the coming of the rising day
I'm gone away I'm gone away I've gone sailing Through time and space I wiz past the moon our watchful eye In all its grace Through the welcoming arms of the Milky Way And it's cold embrace Through hazy nebula pink and blue Floating along at a lazy pace Oh yes, only at the speed of light Wish I had more time, but I must make haste I have places to go, so much to see Looking for someone who might keep up with me
I'm gone away I'm gone away I've gone sailing All the way through time and space I wiz past the moon our watchful eye In all its grace I wave goodbye Through the welcoming arms of the Milky Way And it's cold embrace Through hazy nebula pink and blue Floating along at a lazy pace Oh yes, only at the speed of light Wish I had more time, but I must make haste I have places to go, so much to see Looking for someone who might keep up with me
So I wanted to experiment with a structure but the forum won't allow what I want it to be. So I hope it's kind of implied. Anyways, this represents the internal struggle I often have with myself. I don't want to manipulate the meaning you find in this but the purpose is for this to be a conversation between one's split self. I hear you/ Here I sit just on the other side/ Chained to the walls Chains a rattling away/ of your life Your day draws near/ my day draws near My rivers/ My rivers are beginning to overrun/ are flowing strong My sky is growing grey/ cleansing my shores My days are drawing short/ My days are bright I look into your eyes/ I look into your eyes eyes so green/ eyes growing pale I'm sorry/ I'm sorry but cowardice clings/ But cowardice slips away Tooth and nail/ My rise will see your dawn
