The Edge Of ForeverI've always wondered
how would it feel
To stand on the brink of life
looking back on my existence
The final frontier, the edge of forever...

Death is fascinating
Some will mightly dread it
As others would embrace it
Yet all of them will be curious
Of what to encounter...

Death is a crossroad
People will describe it as the end
As other will set it as a beginning
Every indivual has a different opinion
But deep inside the same apprehension.

Death is life defining
After all every good story
Posesses a fitting end
Without it human beings
Wouldn't live their lives to the fullest.

Death is similar to what life is
It simply

Customary NightI wake up , sweating
heavy droplets fall
over my baffled face
Once again woken up
by these ceaseless nightmares
My body is shaking
Like a leaf under heavy wind
It is time...

My mind is not whole
I feel the rush mounting
this quenchless thirst
is soon to take over
my body and sanity
I leave my bed
and methodically get on
to my mechanical routine.

Like a wraith I wander
and drift through the rooms
Soon i'll be ready to
get back on the streets again.
First off, the ritual
letting the knife sink in
because if I can bleed
then I can feel.

Humanity cast me away
for my frailties , my differences
Forced to live as a

Darkness WithinDarkness within, a gaping hole
growing everlastingly
Feeding off my disbeliefs
Thriving on my sorrows
Taking hold of my conscience.

I tried to hinder it,
to naively convince myself
That It never transpired
that my candid heart still
laid unscathed.

Yet as I grew older
Life sadisticly crushed down
everything I once cherished
decimated my every hopes
contrived the darkness within.

As the years passed by
and the deceits grew countless
like a black hole engorging
all that surrounded it
the darkness took its toll.

I am now one and all
with this darkness within
As life keeps unsettling me
tricking me every ti

Fading LullabyFar away the time when
Simple words uttered
in my ears, appeased me.
A time when I knew how to
close my eyes without a worry.

The enchanting symphony
of my mother's soothing voice
reasoning through my mind
warming my very heart and soul
For one moment making me whole.

The calming swinging motion
within your mother's arms
A gentle touch , a reassuring presence
A neverending voyage through
the kingdom of endless dreams.

Lately my life motion is set
on a circulary nightmare
A demoralizing, soul crunching maze
The warmth of tender arms has been
shifted for a cold, suffocating grasp.

The once sweet symphony
has lost of

Left SpeechlessWe used to be so close
lives entangled as one
a heart beat for two
a love so true.

Then you decided
selfishly, out of the blue
to wreck it all, to spoil
Everything we once shared

You stabbed me in the back
Let the blade penetrate
so deep into my unwarned heart
You left me lifeless.

I used to idolize you
An earthbound angel
The reason I breathed,
My muse...

Since you betrayed me
I wander like a wraith
through the maze made out
from the ruins of my life

You crushed the f oundations
Laid by what I thought
was an unshakable love
You left me clueless

I used to look up to you
Admire the strengh deep
within your heart an

ReflectionsIn the corners of my soul,
Lies a profound darkness,
Inherent part of my mind,
Yet kept hidden to most of all.

What is it about society,
That will reject any anxiety,
Any glimpse of darkness,
Will be a shame to witness.

Hypocritical way of behaving,
Utter misunderstanding,
Dark emotions simply being,
Part of any human being.

I feel so alienated,
Lost in this world of appearance,
Simply jaded, disapointed,
By the rules of our existence.

Expressing your darkest emotions,
Should be mandatory,
The action to set you free,
Not a subject a depression.

I for one will not bow down,
To those fools wearing the crown,
And embrace t

Don't Fear, My loveShe sits in the dark
Her breath is weakening
With every scream uttered
Her heart is pounding
Echoing inside her head.

She tries to stay focused
Yet all she beholds
Is the void confining her
Trapping her body
Weakening her mind.

It seems like forever
That she last saw the light
Her skin once so soft
Is now cold as a stone
What has she done?

She cannot remember
The most simple sound
As a staggering silence
Is her only company
What has gone wrong?

Suddenly the silence breaks
A creaking sound nearby
Footsteps coming slowly
Time stops, she cannot breathe
Her fate is near , the door opens.

A shadow advances on her
Bear

Red Lovers DawnOur relation plummetted
when you came to me
eyes filled with passion
pressed your lips against mine
a disctinct pinch of lust.

Our relation was a pitfall
since the very day
our sick minds connected
and our bodies laid down
battered and bruised.

Our relation took an ill turn
The day when you broke
your promise to never love me
tied me to a chair and
begged me to think carefully.

Our relation was at an end
The day I just said 'no'
when a Red Dawn rose
after out of folly and ordeal
you simply slit your wrists.

Love can be a powerful
tool of self destruction
a rotting of the soul
deadly if shared
by twisted mind l

Ode to the crazy Haired LadyO my fair lady
Coming from a land down under
I would bestow upon thee
the madness of hair upon which I gander.

O my humble lady
Shalt this set of hair totally cover
The fairness of your face completely
Letting my heart in deep wonder.

O my amiable lady
How I wish to posess these crazy hair
Let the wind blow them majestically
A mesmerizing, hypnotizing flare.

O crazy haired lady
Freshly in your eighteenth year
This is a simple gift from me
On this day I hold you dear.

She Stands StillShe stands still
motionless
leaning over
a lucky wall .

She stands still
yet such intensity
empowers her
and takes over me.

She stands still
her eyes
saying more
than words could.

She stands still
not realizing
the utter beauty
of this moment.

She stands still
and fills
my heart with
an indescribable fire.

She stands still
for she needs not
to move an eyelash
for you to realize
you are simply comtemplating
at a goddess.

Little DropLittle drop of misery
Falling tardily down my cheek
Bringer of a twisted memory
Bearer of everything bleak.

Little drop of anger
Exploding out of my pore
The painful burning passenger
Ending up crashing on the floor.

Little leak from my poor soul
drop by drop disappearing
Heart crushing, burned out cold
Massively hope consuming.

Little mind twisting drop
I have feared you all my life
Dreaded to let you pop
out of eye, a violent strife.

I'm resolute now to embrace you
Bless my life with this tear
Let the emotions pull through
For I now have none I fear.

A beautiful glitterLife operates mysteriously
You sense it crumble
over you and your dreams
Its sentence is ruthless
Crushing you down to pieces.

You never thought one moment
that it would come to this
A no man's land, a void
Has taken over your existence
Leaving you hopeless...

You said to me once
That stars fade abruptly
Simply devoided of their essence
When we stop having faith
Is this your fate? Will you vanish?

I for one have unequivocal faith
in you and who you are
In the strength within you
In your deepest emotions erupting
That sparkle over our lives.

Your essence will never wither
as I will keep holding on
to the belief I posse

Remember TodayIn a time of need
Where everything seems dire
When sadness overwhelms your soul
A deep state of numbness
Where will you find the strength?

Life has not been fair to you
Looking back hurts, memories fade
Happy moments wither away
as quickly as a tear falls down your face
Did you deserve all the sorrow?

In a time of need
Where you're surrounded by wraith
When relations are nothing but shallow
Feeling you live in a web of lies
Where will you find the courage ?

You lost faith in yourself
as the days went by doubt crept in
weakening your precious mind
Shattering your priceless heart
Is it too late ... Will you fall apart

A Pale MemoryI vaguely remember
A body twice as large
A pain so more profound
A human being in deep sorrow
Just a fuzzy memory?

I reminisce such hatred
and level of self loathing
an utter disgust at the image
reflected by eyes and opinions
A soul in grave danger?

I hardly recall the shame
of going out without five layers
of clothing to cover the scars
and hide away the self destruction
A once common process?

Those days are not that far
I can still sense a chill in my spine
of the man I once was
The body I once loathed
The pain I still feel deep inside.

I have to keep in mind
the time when I cried
a flood of crimson tears
in fro

Missing You

Walking on the street,
People's faces are mirrors
And they all reflex your smile.

The same hair, the same eyes,
The same face, the same body!
As if envy ruled the world.

All the music remind me of you
In only one sad melody
They all say the same thing:

''You've lost it… You've lost it…
Your heart is dead and dry.
You're lonely… You're lonely…
Love now just make you cry.''

And all these sensations
Bring me a deep nostalgia.
Hurting me from inside and desiring you back.

I damn the destiny that separated you from me
And also our hearts.
The reason of my heart's bleeding scars.

In my absence,
Our love had n

Never forget

by ~ChildrenOfPain, Jun 22, 2010, 12:55:03 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

It occurred suddenly
Right before my eyes
You simply withered away
From this earth, gone.

Abundant tears fall
Down my baffled eyes
For I lacked the very time
To wish you a proper goodbye.

You were special to me
A grandmother yet so much more
Someone I looked up to
Someone I truly cared about.

I know you're probably
In a much better place now
Your suffering ended abruptly
And left us selfishly wanting you back.

I will never forget
These moments we shared together
I will never forget
Your memory will last forever.

I will never forget
For you were part of me
I will never forget
You still mean the world to me.

In my deep state of sorrow
I put down those clumsy words
Hoping they will reach you someday
And let you know how I loved you.

You were always hard on me
Yet I always knew you cared
I've done so much to make you proud
Of your grandson, of who I am.

I will deeply miss you
Tears have not yet dried
For the love I have for you
Has doubled, reignited

This one is special to me. I've been away lately because my grandmother died and I've been in a deep state of sorrow because she meant a real lot to me.

I don't know what much more to say... I miss her so much.

Before I say anything about this poem,I want you to know that I am deeply sorry for your loss,and if it makes you feel any better, I know how you feel because I lost 3 dear people in the same year.I am sure she is in a better place. May her soul rest in peace

This is quite sad,but beautiful,and filled with emotions.Also,I'm sure she's proud of you

~ChildrenOfPain Aug 20, 2010 Student Writer

thanks! I guess everyone's got a different way to react to a loss. I felt the urge to write this when i had a littl time...

Everyone deserves a tribute to their life...

~perfectmortal Aug 2, 2010

simply beautiful

Wow. That really touched me. Good job.

~ChildrenOfPain Jul 20, 2010 Student Writer

Thanks. I appreciate it

I couldn´t write to you here how much I like this one.
I clicked on a link much too fast. =o.O=

Well, I wanted to say, that I really feel with you.
My gran also died, like I told you, and I don´t remember much of those last moments because I didn´t had the chance to stay.
I had to work in another city.
It was unsuspected or I would have taken the time off.
But my last visit wasn´t so grand, so I think if I ever get the chance to tell her how much I loved her your words are much more fitting than anything I could ever muster up.

It is so wonderful written.
=^.^=

~ChildrenOfPain Jun 24, 2010 Student Writer

Well I'm really glad you liked it.

It was kida difficult for me too because this year I had to study a lot because it was a future determining year at the univ so I didn't have much time to actually go and see her.

So I only saw her in her last moments and as i tell here didn't feel like I had the time to say proper goodbye. But life is as it is and I had to accept it so I mustered these 'clumsy' words as i said hoping some would reach her.

*HALsurfer Jun 25, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

CLUMSY????
Where?
This is really great!
Really, you should have more faith in yourself and your work!

I really like your works, as much as read till now.
