                                                    Phantasmagoria

Introduction~ Hello, everyone ^-^ The following are a few poems I wrote last semester in Introduction to Poetry class. I felt like sharing them with all of you. I hope you like them :D All poems are my original ideas, and please do not steal them.

Enjoy! ^.^



Untitled

Green is prudent
And spring is as careful as
Winter’s long wait.
The hush of winter is dressed in white,
Forgive the dead blushing blue
On the whiteness that they wear.

‘Til Death Do We Wed

Death has been married to a poor, lost soul.
The alter is rickety with sins and soil.
All Her suitors are watching it go.
Death has been married to a poor, lost soul.
Signing the last divorce papers from Life, but no,
The soul cries to Life, once so loyal.
Death has been married to a poor, lost soul.
The alter is rickety with sins and soil.

Constellation’s Perspective Book~ Your Eyes As A Character Museum

Like twin moons do I see,
It is your eyes, rings of black hang under them,
Onyx gems, reflecting everything you see.
Ebony enchants me, seduces me, and
I cannot help but stare back.
You look at the sky. The stars drown in your
Pools of blackness.
I am lost in your eyes,
Your kiss cannot compare.
Unblinking and huge, you curse me
With those two beautiful, black marbles of curiosity.

God Makes Boots, Not Umbrellas

Black boots embrace my
Legs, as they brush through puddles of memories.
My heels are cracked, there are blood stains.
Some puddles are shallow, some not so much,
Yet my boots are still secure, even if
The zipper is stuck.
This umbrella will not open, typical.
It rains.
My boots get wet in
Puddles of
Solitude and sins, not regrets of yesterday.
The footsteps die; the zipper broke.
Damn.

~ ~ ~

Chronic Submerging Existence

These thoughts leak,
My memories drop the security of
Remembering you at all.
The sun ran away, the flowers are dead.
The gentle fragrance of snow
Pulsates through my veins, fast and hard.
I am alone again.

~ ~ ~

Broken Land, Zero Century A.D.

This land of shattered faith
Is played on the fingers
By the fallen angels on their broken violins.
Linger fourth, be patient,
For our salvation is too fragile
Between what we see and what we make.
~ ~ ~

The Sunset Arrives Late

The sunset arrives late.
Being the bearer of bad news
Is a headache within the day.
Every time.
The baker kneads the dough;
It grows.
Screeching wheels echo, replacing my
Thoughts.
Ladybug flat.
I hear a woman cry, for her
Child has vanished and she
Does not know where
To find
Her.

~ ~ ~

Our Vow

Want me as I want you.
Love me as I love you.
Hate me as I hate you.
Our kiss will tell.
No secrets. Promise.

~ ~ ~

This Blush Has Its Worth

This blush has its worth,
Scaring with its most gentle grace.
Though a lofty price is required,
How sweet a fee is your embrace!

~ ~ ~

Emptiness

By emptiness do we feel life.
One moment of recognizing,
The essence we share,
In the absence of hatred, oh so
Cross and disturbingly fair.

~ ~ ~

Embryology of Insanity

Quoth the moth,
Whisper the bee,
Hang the stars,
Sacrificial piano keys.
Enough is enough for such hate
Breathing that frost,
Belonging to which? Never to know.

~ ~ ~

When Angels Melt

In your eyes, a curtain of lust
Shrouds the closed vision
Between you and me.
A sheet of caresses spread
Across our silky skin,
Flashes of white heat-
Kisses ignite, they excite-
Beads of sweat trickle
Down your neck.
You mark me, claim me, brand me-
I am yours.
And I feel you.

How Long Is A Moment?

How long is a moment?
One slippery blink of time.
Attached are memories,
Tickets to a smile,
You’ll always find.


~Well, that is all for now ^^ Thank-you very much for reading :) Some of these poems came about after watching an afternoon of Death Note at college, and some were pure feeling I had at the time. Some of them...can even be applied to feelings I have now, with problems, stress, and the faith I have in certain things, people, events, and occurrences.

But I am happy with how these poems came out, and my professor did as well ^^ Yay!

Anyway, thnak-you again, and I hope you all liked them ^^ Ja ne!

"God Makes Boots, Not Umbrellas" is my FAVOURITE. :3 It made me smile, then feel bad because I smiled. XD;;

"Our Vow" is a close second, though~ It's so pretty! ;o;



You're very talented. :'3
I'm jealous~

I was so confused at first when I clicked on the link. Didn't you write a story called Phantasmagoria in Fiction Class? haha, that's what I thought you posted, lol. And if you didn't, well, then I'm losing my mind. Anyway, lovely poems! :hug:

:sarcasm:
It's my job in life to piss you off.

:boing:
...potato?...
:iconlawliet-cross-rue:
:giggle: hehe, thank-you very much ^^ Awww, smiles are good, do not feel bad :3 :hug: hehe ^^

I am very flattered you love them that much! I recall trying to come up with poems last minute for my poetry final...I was like "QUICK! LAWLIET! CONJURE UP SOME EMOTION!!!" Then...after a few stressful pacing walks, some soda,no sleep, and some anime...ta-da! :lmao: XXDDD lol

Awww, really? :glomp: Thank-you soooo much! :love:
Do not be so, my friend...I am flattered and grateful, but you are talented as well ^^ Everyone is in their own form of art! I think you are talented as well ^^ :hug:

:iconlawliet-cross-rue:
I did, actually, write a fiction piece titled "Phantasmagoria" in Fiction Class, yes! No, my friend, you are not losing your mind :XD: I just love the word and the meaning behind the word ^^ *is obsessed with certain words* XD Did you know there is an old Swedish movie titled "Phantasmagoria"? and a Japanese band as well? ^^ lol

Thank-you! I am glad you liked them, and thanks for commenting ^^ :hug:

Chronic Submerging Existence
Brought me relief from a weight I didn't know was upon me. A relief as finally, crystalline blue poured from a broken frame.

‘Til Death Do We Wed
HA true. >>;; :\ btw, is the use of 'alter' intentional? ._.

Constellation’s Perspective Book~..
L much? XD♥

God Makes Boots, Not Umbrellas
>> << >> -sets a few pews on fire and bolts away unnoticed-

Broken Land, Zero Century A.D.
As a pessimist, I scorn. >> But I like the poem.

Our Vow
-quirkily grins- lol! >> What's wrong with me? It feels fluffy! D: This poem has drugged me! XD

This Blush Has Its Worth
O_O -points and clutches- I want this in my sig! If you don't mind. ._. If it can even fit in! >>;;

When Angels Melt
o/////0 um. Few words. But intense emotions. >> I envy your ability to choose 'correct' words and stuff.

How Long Is A Moment?
........ as a picture taken and stored away safely, it is forever even if time will slowly but surely take away the details.

'.' I only comment on ones that I like/feel *something* towards. So the rest were just poems that I couldn't find something to connect them with, I guess. :\ And I think I found my fav poet. XDD And you taught me a cool word! >> Now I just have to remember how to spell it! ._. Phantasmagoria. >> It rhymes with Magnolia.. *shot*

The bottom line is.

There are those you'd live for, those you'd kill for but who would you really die for?

Chronic Submerging Existence~ Awww, really? :happycry: I am glad that it lifted something that big off your shoulders. That was what I tried to aim for, and I am glad I got the message across :) You use words very elegantly in your comments :) I like that a lot <3

'Til Death Do We Wed~ Yes, the alter is intentional, it symbolizes the marriage of Death to I passed on soul, like a wedding, only backwards, kinda XD ^-^

Constellation’s Perspective Book~ Yup! XD I love L's eyes (I have a thing for eyes) and I just sat down and wrote a poem about his eyes XD Besides, l is awesome, and I love L~:heart:

God Makes Boots, Not Umbrellas~ :rofl: XDDD, hahahahahahahaha!!!!! XDDDD Wow, just wow XDDD

Broken Land, Zero Century A.D.~ XD Thanj-you XD I was depressed when I wrote this, so it may sound a bit down in the dumps-like tone ^^;

Our Vow~ :XD: Yay, my poems drug people with fluffiness XDDDD :giggle: Awww, but it was mean to be fluffy XD I am glad you found it fluffy, XDDD

This Blush Has Its Worth~ O///O~R-Really? Awwww, that means so much to me! :happycry: Why of course! Yes, you may use this as your signature ^^ I am very honored and happy you want this as your signature ^^ :heart: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:!!!!!

When Angels Melt~ *giggles* I am glad I chose good words, thank-you so much! Yes, I was feeling intense emotions when writing this, thus, it could be seen as intense love, heavenly blessed as well ^///^

How Long Is A Moment?~ Well said! I totally agree! It goes well with what I tried to convey! :highfive: You are awesome with comments, my friend! :D

Oh, that is perfectly okay, to comment on poems you felt something towards :) That is wonderful that I could make you feel something ^_^! :hug: Awwwwww! :happycry: ^///^ :love: Thank-you so much! XD Phantasmagoria (which is also the name of a J-Rock band, an old Swedish movie, and is one of my favroite words ^-^) I cannot thank-you enough for such wonderful poem comments!

CSE: -scratch head- >> I hope it works again next September. I'll read it again in December. xp Gee.. Makes me wonder if I should stick it to my wall for convenience's sake. XD;

'TDdWW: No, I mean. alter means to change/tweak/modify. <_< Altar is the place where weddings/ceremonies take place. Now you know who to bug for a beta reader. xD -runs for life-
o.o Well, that's interesting. Seeing it as a wedding in reverse, I mean. Different from the usual antonym: birth.

CPB: -hides in a park bench's shadows looking the least suspicious of persons to set buildings on fire- ^^~~♥

BL,ZCA.D.: :hug: Down in the dumps is my job. You stay away from it. xD -pushes Cross in bright happy place's direction-

OV: XD; I have active imagination when reading abstract stuffs..

TBHiW: DD: It won't fit! T__T Not with my need to stick that 'feed a stray' link there. So I stuck a link to this page instead. @__@ o_o!! WAH!! -suffocated to death from many hugs-

WAM: (lol! xD even the acronym sounds powerful) ._. -ponders to prod Cross into telling more.... decides not to get head chopped of for invading privacy and trots off-

HLiaM: -looks at you curiously- o.o It would do my vocab no justice to not put it to good use.

Yes, you are the Morning Light poet. Mummy's my Bordering Insanity poet. xD
o.o I'm going to look up the J-Rock band and see if they're any good. It is a wonderful word indeed. Perfect description of some my dreams.. >_>
ô_ô When something's good, point it out. When something's bad, eliminate it. xDD You happen to have stuff to be praised and encouraged. owo

TDDWW~ :giggle: You are right! Very true ^^ *hugs you before you can run* It is all cool :3 Yes, I was thinking "birth" is used a little to much, so I decided to go into reverse with it, to play around with the idea of how interesting the concept would be :D

CPB~ :giggle: Fire! 8DDD *chops up wood in background unoticed* :XD:

BLZCAD~ *throws flowers in bright happy place's direction and gives you the prettiest flower from the basket* :D :hug:

CSE: xD

TDDWW: =w= *glad to not be booted for pointing stuff out* It fits well with a picture of a skeleton and a bride. ovo

CPB: xD Are you a pyromaniac as well?

BLZCAD: xD Thank you~♥ *puts flower in pretty vase and waters it*

TBHIW: xp Know what? xD One guy followed the link. He told me and said he liked your poems. It was ages ago though.

WAM: =v= auuw!! Luff! xD That's wonderful! That it's still strong. ovo Best wishes that it stays with you forever. x3

HLIAM: OMG COOKIES!! Thank you~♥ *pounce and eats* *clings to cookies giver* =v=♥

:cuddle: xD Glad I can make you happy with comments. And yush we can discuss dreams if you like. Mine are usually bordering into horror but aren't. (Example: End of the world Evangelion style, angels are everywhere. I run away and watch at the same time as EVA 00, 01 and 02 fight. This dream never ended so I don't know what happens. xD)
