So, I wrote some poems...

[PrincessTaurus]

...but I don't think I can post them due to some language and topics. I'm actually interested in sharing, but honestly do not think I can post them. I really don't care if you hate them either. Cuz, they sure aren't for everyone's taste.

Any poets out there interested in hearing some of my poetry (well, reading it, I guess)? I guess I could email...

I think women would like some of my writing the best. But, I'm pretty dark at times.

If you are interested, let me know...k?

Here's one of the "clean" ones (at least I think it's clean). I believe poetry is meant to be recited or read outloud. I don't need feedback. Just either enjoy or hate or cry or ignore. I'm just putting it out there cuz someone told me to and I am starting a new trend, listening to people I care about and/or respect.

The Dishes Flew
December 30, 2006

I asked you why.
You couldn’t answer.
But the weight
of life
trapped me
hid me
strangled me

I asked you for help.
You couldn’t give me.
But the battle
of hearts
tied me up
and held me
down

I asked you to listen.
You didn’t hear me.
But the shouts
to heaven
screamed back
slapping
shocking
terrifying

I asked you to love me.
You weren’t able.
But the piercing LIES
pacified

I asked you to hold my hand.
you shoved
and
kicked
and

pushed

me

away

temper tantrum
But
the vows
I made
forced
pleaded
tore me

a p a r t

until
the
dishes
flew

and
rage in my heart

cried
tears
of broken telephones
and
cat scratch fever

insignificant again
in the eyes
of
love

insignificant I felt

until
the
dishes
flew

and
suddenly
you saw

and you noticed
me

after
the
dishes
flew

I asked you to look at me.
you looked
with rage
hate
disgust

I asked you to hold me.
you
walked
away

and
the
dishes
flew

You need a :hugs: :supergrin: Thanks. But, believe it or not, that's my dark side. My "out". I stay sane by writing the evil thoughts or happenings and then am quite content.

I haven't had much time to let the writing juices flow lately and I felt a bit unbalanced. This poem is from a LONG time ago in reality. OVER 7 years ago. So, thanks for the hug, but it is NOT my present....nor will it be my future.

I gotta go to the grocery store and then write a grad. paper.

Take it easy!:thumbsup:

I really like it. That's what's so great about poetry: EXPRESSION.

Can I ask what was the theme or background to this? I think it's deeper than just your "dark side".

Some pretty powerful stuff there! I haven't dabbled in poetry or writing for nearly a decade but did keep a detailed journal of my time spent in former Yugoslavia 10 years ago while in the military. Some pretty depressing stuff & a life changing experience to say the least.
