Ceylara Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Hello. Obviously, I'm new here, but I'm ettic to find a poetry board (not tha I've sought any out before). I found a link on an elfwood gallery and was led here. I like what I see so far, so I thought I'd see how some of my work might be received and go from there. Here's a few short pieces showing some aspects of my style, I guess: The Immortal I have wandered through time and space Seen a thousand ages, yet no change, A thousand lives saved at my expence, And die at the edge of my sword. And I have wandered the world over Under grey skies and over stormy seas Through lands torn by strife and disaster Searching for an answer, a sign, an end To bring satisfaction to my fate And set me free from the chains Of a life not my own. So that I may return to the garden Lay by the water's edge Wrapped in your arms In Heaven's sunlight forever And be forever free to die. - December 18, 2002 ___________________________________________________________________ I won’t be taken by your cunning smiles that cut the air between us and scream out your lies. I pity you, knowing that you believe to tell the truth. - June 5, 2003 ___________________________________________________________________ Wasted Effort As I am running through my mind I pause to think: Where is it that I am going In all this confusion and shadowed darkness? Am I trying too hard to fulfill myself, To make something beautiful from a blank page And find insight in every stroke of the pen That flows out of me, bleeds onto the page Like spilt ink? Until all inspiration is gone and I am left To drift again through these dim realities. - June 12, 2003 ___________________________________________________________________ Well, there's a sample. comment away. I'm always open to construtive critism and insight. (Sometimes there are element to your work that even you can't notice yourself) Tell me if you want to see more, or whether I should go ahead and apply. Thankies!
