Wendy's Poetry

[Halo]

Figured I might as well. Seeing as I have a bunch of poetry without many who would appreciate them. Not sure if you guys will, but why not give it a go?

Not all of them I put up will be my best work. I have bunches of old and new poetry. I'll put the dates they were written when I can. Many will have been quickly written ones while others will have gotten more thought.

Some will be obvious. Some may be quite hard to interpret. [However, Cindy happens to be able to interpret almost all of my poetry quite well, so if you don't wanna ask me, ask her. She's amazing. She once interpreted a poem I wrote that even I had no idea what it really meant. I will post that one on here as well.] Many will be pertaining to my own life situations at the time they were written while others will not have to do with me personally at all. That's all up to you to think about.

I hope you like them. Or at least some of them. Feel free to leave comments for opinions or constructive criticism. I don't care if you post on this thread. I will simply put all the poems in one post at the top, so it won't be too cluttered if you guys wanna leave comments. ^_^ Enjoy!

[Halo]

[Cindy suggested I put this one up first. It's an oldie, but I like it.]


Sinking 12-9-07

I dip my feet, the water cool
My heart alive, and just one rule

That I should leave before I die
My choking lungs, I tell them lies

Seven feet in, eight, nine, and ten
No going back now, no air to lend

My consciousness now is slipping away
I’ll die now on this sorrowful day

I hear some screams, some panic now
So soon I’ll soar above the clouds

My vision gone, I’m sinking deeper
I feel a hand, I’m getting sleepier

Too late, too late, it’s death I now don
My mind is gone, my mind is gone…




Storm 12-9-07

The thunder rolls
Above the hills
The lightning strikes
And always kills

The rain is coming
Down like nails
The wild wind
It howls and wails

The tribe below
So unprotected
Their cries for mercy
Are rejected

The icy cold
That killed them all
Laughed and mocked
And watched them fall



What You Wore 12-9-07

Without you I am cursed
And near you I am dead
And all these mindless thoughts
Keep gnawing at my head

You think that I am crazy
You think that I’m insane
Well maybe it is true but
You are always in my brain

Tomorrow live or die
And fate is in your hands
And I think that I’ll go mad
In all your power and demands

My insides are decaying
My body is no more
My theories are forgotten
As I remember what you wore


[This next one, probably won't make much sense to you unless you really dig deep for it. Cindy interpreted it to me very, very well, actually. Trust me, it has meaning, it's just one of my more... strange ones.]

In the Midst of You 4-22-08

In the midst of you, and what a pity
And so help me, I enjoy this
To and fro where cautions leak
Upon the graves of minds we seek

Until then, my patience ends
A plainly sight, no air to lend
It seems we’ve all come crashing through
At times we’re mad and things protrude

If all we sought were nails of gold
We might as well have sold, and you
You think I cannot hear you laugh
But you are bathing in the words

Of all the insolent things to say
In sight as plain and gold as hay
To no one does your pity end
To you we all sit and pretend

That we have meaning, life, a soul
It is you, I mind you not,
Shall look upon yourself one day
And see the creature writhe in pain

To bear this is a burden high
But though you cast us to the sky
In one and more a life you see
The meaning means no more to thee

What can I say, you think and think
But that does not give you the right
To see in awe and all you see
And still you mean the world to me



If Comes the Day 5-16-08

If comes the day
When mine own love
Will one day love me back

I won’t be lying
In the dark
My body lined in black

I won’t be paralyzed
My mind
An avid, lustful beast

With which, you, whom
My heart adores
But me you love the least

I’ll no longer have
My insides burn
In every waking minute

My needs fulfilled
My heart a whole
My stalking ways be finished

I won’t be lying here
Right now
My mind a swirling matter

To only hug you, hold you
Love you
Is all that really matters



Fire 7-18-08

Taking fire
Building wrath
Burning water
Chilling gash

Tipping lava
Over pours
Leaking down
To fill the sores

Checking time
Too much left
Breathing cease
Color theft

Knife in hand
And eyes ablaze
Falling bones
Mind a maze

Nothing left
To turn or creak
Lying cold
Left numb and weak



To Lie Upon the Grass 7-18-08

Tonight to lie upon the grass
In skin I woefully wear
To look upon the stars and wish
If only they could spare
A little of their light
And give my life a little spark
Then maybe I will smile
And I won’t be in the dark
If better came my will to be
No sorrow everlasting
Then maybe, love, I would have you
And I’d discard my masking
To only lie with you right now
Upon this emerald grass
Would make me whole, my heart anew
And love I’d have at last



The Treacherous News 7-18-08

The treacherous news…

I remember my first family
They’re the ones who brought me to life
Ah, yes, old Anna and John Parsley
How sweet they were

My second family, when I was six
They attached a swing to me
And would swing, swing, swing
Through the summer days

I was twenty when the Walshes moved in
I think they were my favorite
They would lie in the hammock and talk to me
They were my joy and happiness then

The years flew by and
By my sixth family, I was 75
They spent lots of time reading under me
They were like my smile I could not show

And now I am 124
The Histers have moved on
And now I have heard the news
I have received the treacherous news

I will not hear another family
Clatter through the house
For the house will be no more
And I… am to be cut down



Below the Bellowing City 8-23-08

And if ever you go
If ever you rise
Above my love-sick cradle

My fears born bright
My pride a mistake
My life a flickering candle

And you would have
Me think you mad
Only to give you my pity

I spat on the ground
And sang of your tears
Below the bellowing city



There Once Was a Guy... 1-29-07

There once was a guy
Who ate a pie
And thought that it tasted swell

But after an hour
His stomach felt sour
And his head didn’t feel very well

Then the doctor had said
In a day he’d be dead
For he had Mad Pie Disease

So he went out that day
And did everything his way
Even robbed a few stores if he pleased

But then later that day
He found out the hard way
That he wasn’t gonna die after all

So now he’s in jail
He ain’t gettin’ no bail
And all for a doctor’s bad call

Broken, Alone, Ashamed 4-10-13

I turn around and before me see
A crater filled with vacancy
Of starving ghosts that once were fed
By wounds we took upon the head

When did all feelings come to be
A door frame built on trust only?
When gusts of tired storms came through
You, with my weary soul, were true

But soon as Wait came crashing in
My sorrow did at once begin
While nurtured was the soul in me
The soul outside felt agony

The secret was not long in hiding
People talk, their words deciding
What truth is real and truth is fake
And that, dear, was your cruel mistake

The fear and pain I dealt with nightly
Left me to treat you impolitely
Your childish confusion could not convince
My mind was made up and had been since

The blame on you I solely dealt
Too much pain, no forgiveness felt
I was ready to go, I was ready to leave
But that’s when Truth crept upon my sleeve

My eyes grew wide as it all came out
I wanted to shout, I needed to shout
But my quick believing left you in rage
No turning back of this fault-splattered page

I stood there and watched while my soul melted ‘way
Oh, how could it be that I was not betrayed?
My fingers, they fled up to my splintered mind
It melted, it melted, no feeling was kind

And that’s when I felt it, her last dying cry
Inside me the soul floated up to the sky
To my knees I fell hard, now nothing remained
I was left to be broken, alone, and ashamed…



Daisies 5-11-12

Within the darkened shadows
Of a frigid empty mind
We freeze in the depths
Of madness
Weaving flames upon the
Charcoal
Black as the Raven’s wise
Beak
A peak in the mountains
Covers your mind from me
I look over it and see
A harmony of dead swallows
Feathers glistening with the
Chill of silence
And beyond them
A sea of blood-red daisies
Swaying in the breeze
Screaming at me in tiny, melodic voices
“Fall into us, die in us!”
I can do nothing short of
Honoring their desperate request
And as their bloody petals
Begin to drown me
You float out of me
Like a pure dove
Pulled up by its wings




Dawn 5-3-12

The reason why
I sigh
Is you

I’m supposed to be
Happy
So far you are true

But will you last?
Oh, will you last?
I find myself in wonder

These thoughts inside
Collide
Like the clash of thunder

You don’t think the same
I blame
Myself for letting you

Think I’m worth it
Think I’m something
Don’t expect my heart as true

So far nothing’s crashed
No one’s been lashed
Nothing’s turned out wrong

But how can it be?
It’ll change, you’ll see
We’ll wake up to a bloody dawn
