Winter's Sharing Time (Poems and Stuff)

[Winter]

...Just realized that I'm seriously slacking...got three poems I've posted to dA and not gotten up here. XD Here, have them.

Phantom

Spoiler:

Wants to be
Loved, just like
Everyone else,
But when someone
Comes too close--
Shoves them away and
Screams "Don't touch me!
I don't want you to die!"

(Sucks in their color because they suck out his own.)

Fun fact: Fueled by Phantom of the Opera, a poet on dA called Oaklungs, and frustration.

Just Imagine

Spoiler:

Quietly, in the dark
Two hands reach,
Search across empty miles
To beds beyond their own
Seeking cold,
Seeking warmth,
From the other.

For a moment,
If they believe hard enough,
Their fingerstips might just
Brush before the connection
Snaps.

Fun fact: Mmmm...I'll leave this one up to complete speculation. XD

Kanon

Spoiler:

Everything is beautiful, dear
Child. Remember that.
Could be wonderful beauty
That takes your breath
Away, launches a thousand
Ships, even starts entire
Wars, or
Could be terrible beauty
That disgusts you, makes
You turn your eyes
Away, cry out in your darkest
Nightmares for the bad to
End, but
No matter what,
Dearest, don't you ever
Forget that because
I think I have and
All the color has run
Out into the gutters like
The blood of innocents
Who were just in the wrong
Place at the wrong
Time, and I swear I love
You but dearest I
Can't live in a world where
I can't see the color, the
Beauty that used to
Be everywhere, the
Only truth I ever knew
Turned to dust on the wind.

I love you but
The beauty's all
Gone and so I
Just can't stay.

Fun fact: My brain just kind of exploded into words. Based on one of my most obscure NPCs in a RP ever. XD And she'll never make an appearance, either.

Wow it's been a while since I edited this--I'll have to do a mass update sometime soon. Until then, though, I'll leave you with this one I did for English, with a certain pair of characters in mind.

Conversation

Spoiler:

“You see,” she says,
“I wear my headphones,
“Turn up the volume,
“To block out the silence.
“It took a brother and a sister from me
“Once upon a time.”
“Don’t block it out,” he replies,
“Fight, sing, fill
“The empty quiet, let your voice
“Be your sword, and take back
“What the silence stole from you.”
