I don't know if this topic belongs here, but now it's here (really hope there's no other poem topic)

Anyway, one of the things I'm really into is writing poems and stories.
This is one of my favorites:


Bloody blue strawberry
lips whispering fear
thoughts are running too slow,
while death is crawling near
Because life is like a riddle
and the answer has died
Your cold last kiss
whishes us goodnight
for she had left the future
and became the past.

Stay away
from me and my heart
You've had your chance,
while I'm not feeling better.
You think it's ok,
but it's tearing me apart
this was our last dance together
Forget what I said,
forget what you saw
This was on me
your final attack.
You've crossed the border
within my law, so
all I can say is:
watch your back.

over or under
in about fifteen large
cigar ash dusted an antique rug

nerves rattled
air conditioning bit hollow bones
one roll, click clack, fate

empty pockets
empty glasses
empty parking lot

shanked without a witness
goodnight

partner left hanging by the phone
without alibi or safe passage
a domestic prisoner in his mind

crimson pool drained into downtown sewers
a secret shrouded neath the cityscape
laying lifeless beside a king's ransom

he could have lived in comfort forever
but he only took my shoes
can you spare some change?

Embroidered Phazon
The clouds flowing over the hill
sky on the sunny day
tangerines that are bitter
lucky four-leaf clover
violets in the garden
dandelions along a path
Unavoidable sleeping time
Liquid flowing from a slashed wrist

i am the bastard son of hate pain and depression
with anger pumping in my veins that fucks up my perception
here to deliver my ideas without deception
i constitute what's true in an ideal conception

a mindset of my own - never to abdicate this throne
tendency to snap on command - i'm violence prone

call me a killer, no skill here, just straight filler
rip your eyes out and use your fuckin spine as a pillar
to prop up my ego and service me how,
is this perverse mind working to my benefit now?

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.

Our Labyrinth

Dance with me, dance with me
Whisper words that will make me shiver.
Take me to your gloomy world.
While drowning in a bloody river.

Embrace my body, embrace my soul.
Your eyes are full of mystery.
Am I still your only love?
Have you forgotten our history?

Ever since my love has had hold you tight,
the one with the deserted heart.
I hear the pain calling you out at night.
The pain that rips you apart.

Your desperate cries became music to me.
But your eyes still scorch my skin.
Toxic are your words to me,
But I’m not giving in.

Lost in forgotten memories,
Dying from eternal love.
Nothing can stop the misery
You can never suffer enough.

Only your hollow soul,
Can make me feel like this.
Only you can make me smile,
While dying from your loneliness.

Shadows gaze upon,
Lost and fallen souls.
Soon we will become,
A shadow of our own.

Red roses floating silently
While leafs fall off, one by one.
If there was an end to see,
But it had only just begun.

Sorrow haunts and hope had fled,
Lost in our own maze.
Or as I rather call it a labyrinth.
Because there’s no escape.

We is me
You is I
Let us say
The world goodbye.

Nothing left,
For us here
Love forever
Me, my dear.

Our wedding is now a funeral.
The mirror showed the truth.
There was only one of us.
And all of it was you.

Dance with me, dance with me.
Whisper words that will me shiver.
Take me to your gloomy world.
While drowning in a bloody river.

The following poem is a "challenge" inside the novel Dom Casmurro (Machado de Assis). that gave only the 1st and the last verses.

Oh flor do céu, Oh flor cândida e pura! = Oh heaven flower, Oh pure and cast flower!
Pétalas límpidas, guiam a luz! = Clean petals, they guide the light!
Perfume encantado, tanto seduz... = Enchanted perfume, charm so much...
Eu me rendo à tamanha formosura! = I surrender to such beauty!

Oh pássaro lesto, pássaro safo! = Oh joy bird, free bird!
Com vôo tão breve e tão gracioso, = With so graceful and soon flight,
penas elegantes, bico charmoso. = elegant feathers, charming beak.
Canta alegre ao som do meu desabafo. = Gladly sings at my catharsis' sound.

Um dia, meu Sol, hei de ganhar-te! = One day, my Sun, I will earn you!
Fazer meu lume de tua fornalha. = Make my glow from your furnace.
Derrotando a Lua, Vênus ou Marte! = Defeating the Moon, Venus or Mars!

Não tememos nenhum astro canalha, = Don't we fear no canaille star,
lutemos pelo amor de cada parte. = shall we fight for the each part's love.
Perde-se a vida, ganha-se a batalha. = Life is lost, battle is won.

BUSTED!

It's a ... I forgot the word
The name for this sort of rhyme...

It was...

Why do I write what I'm thinking? Seriously, NOw my post will be too long, erm what was it... omg, I knew it, I even write those sometimes, mostly used in the time of the humanism, the enlightning? Omg my English sucks...

I need to know, can't use google...

ARGH!

erm, need to think hard

brb

*thinks hard*

Ah!

Sonnet

Don't know if that's the English word too, but that doesn't matter
And the language of the poem is Italian, where the *verlichting* begun, I think

Anyway, I suck

Nice poem though :p

Hehe, thanks!

Also, that challenge asked for a sonnet (I like them too).
Anytime I can try to translate it in a sonnet (very hard, but not impossible).

The only problem is that the sonnet won't stay a sonnet when you translate, because the rhyme shedule won't stay the same

Sometimes we can adapt them... I think there is some Shakespeare's sonnets adapted to Portuguese; also The Edgar Allan Poe's Raven (I know it isn't a sonnet, but a long poem) was adapted very well.

It's hard though, to translate it right and maintaining the context
