Poems

[Ulquiorra]

thought i'd start a general thread for any interesting poems you've either written or found that you'd like to share.

I wrote this one years ago i think, i found it on my old computer the other day

Love Ideal

innocence
once lost
can never come back

a fool for this ideal called love
she tempted him
enticed his soul
infatuated him with her existence

she was his everything

he dreamed many dreams
dreamed of happiness
dreamed of that ideal that so many strive to reach

he is a dreamer, and she the waker
and she didnt break his spirit
what she took were his dreams

his spirit, without his dreams, fades slowly

and now he lies there
a shell of the man he once was
he aged a lifetime in a year

gone is the boy
running through this world in exhilaration
searching for that one ideal

in his place stands a man
hardened by experience, broken inside
wondering why he ever leapt
why he ever chased this ideal

and his resolve wanes everyday without her

and the tears fall, one by one
a thing of the past, this ideal
now there exists only heartbreak
it becomes his whole world.

and in his world, there is only her.

Beautiful poem. The vague tone works in favor of your measure.

Nice poem Ulquiorra, I used to write so many, I should go find them but I dread to read...you did a good job ;)

[Grey1x]

Great poem. I've also made some and my colleagues say they are great but I don't think I'm ready to post them here yet :p.

[Ulquiorra]

heh, thanks. I havent written a new one in forever. I think that's like the 3rd to last poem i ever wrote. I should get started again....

nice poem >.>
he is a dreamer, and she the waker
and she didnt break his spirit
what she took were his dreams

i like the meanings in these lines (if interpret it the same).

oh, and grey...pls do post some. i dunno that u write poems too~

[Ulquiorra]

the beautiful thing about poems is that they can be interpreted 100 different ways by 100 different people.

I wrote a lot many years ago. I can't find most of them anymore - it's in a book but I think I either threw it away when I was frustrated once - complete with all my diaries and all. There's this one I found in a scrap paper the other day. I wrote this in 2001. It brings back a lot of memories.


Summation Equals to Zero

Bending over a book of math
Blotchy hands and half-sucked breath
Wondering what is the point searching
For answers, for perspectives, for meanings
When life, afterall is eventual death.

Humming a tune, scribbling along
My moving pencil in motion with my song
'Tis cycle of live and die is of none's desire
I'm bounded with contradictions in a quagmire
And to this world, I feel - I don't belong.

Equations written, emotions rationalised
Pencil slides steadily, strategies concise
Keeping in mind life's manipulations
I try to solve, with the comprehension
That one man's sunset is another man's sunrise.

A worked sum, stained with tears that have dried
Pencil broken in half, a forlorn soul magnified
Life is a parody, if not a comedy
'Love', to me, no longer is a remedy
For my heart and soul have long ago died.

i already commented on Ulquiora' poem, so now i'm going for ileenka's~

i like it a lot! u used the mathematical terms, then brought together other messages on love and death (i did similar poems, but they were two different poems), and it's nice that u can combine both. and all of the last lines in each stanza are really interesting.

[Ileenka]

Lol. It wasn't my original intention to use the math thing. I just had the last line of every stanza and I tend to work backwards. But thank you for your kind comment. :hug

I might post others. But I know a lot of them are going to sound stupid and cheesy because they're written many years ago. Oh well, maybe just for laughs. XD (If I ever find them again).
