Wow, never knew this thread existed. I usually stick to the dev corner, but I do love poetry.
Here is something I wrote several months back:
"If I were an artist I would paint, so dark so dark with nothing but black.
To show my world, to craft a picture of understanding.
The black and my tears flowing down it, little trickles fading into nothing.
To show a world of grays, the kiss of colorless lips.
The whites blurring into the blacks of the eyes that watch.
I would express it if I could paint.
If I were a singer I would sing, so sad so sad with nothing but screams.
To show my world, to craft a song of understanding.
My face thrown back the tears flowing down it, little trickles fading into nothing.
To show a world of pain, the sand and sky and water a deathly tone.
The ears turning away and forgetting the words that are spoken.
I would express it if I could sing.
But I can not sing, nor paint.
I can only sow these words on pages that will long be forgotten.
For I have no other way in the black of night, to express my fear of darkness.
So I write, and my words live on."
