Some Poetry

This year, I wrote some poetry to some pictures that a friend of mine drew. If I can find the pictures, I'll post them along with the poems. Just so you know, these poems were mostly written for fun and don't really relate to me. I could have left that last sentence out, but I figured I didn't want to make a weird impression on people I've never met before. My poetry, as it is now:

Take my heart:

From the first time we met-
Straight from the start
You sought to take from me
My most valuable Heart.

I knew you intentions
I was aware of your silent pleas.
I considered the ramifications
I thought of my needs.

Now to decide,
What choice will I make?
To reject you - break your heart
Or to intertwine my Heart with your Fate.

You begged me, you made your request,
You unrelentlessly pleaded.
My Love and my Heart
To complete you is needed.

I thought of it deeply,
Both daily and nightly.
What harm will be done?
Only one thought will fight me.

People will talk,
They won’t understand.
We simply won’t tell them.
Please, take my hand.

The Sound:

Sitting in the dark
Aloneness surrounds me.
My soul is empty.

Somewhere behind me
I hear a small Sound.
-I turn around.

I stare searchingly
Into the black.
Nothing is there.

I hear the Sound again,
But from where does it come?

It makes me nervous - I begin to hum.

The Sound is menacing

It makes me want to scream!

It drives me to madness - you know what I mean?

The feeling is dark.
Demonic.
The room turns to ice.

The Sound again!
Again from behind!
My sanity will unwind!

It strikes me,
I recognize the din.
It comes from me - from within.

I really think that I could make the second one more Poe-ish if I edited it more.

But that's all the emo poetry that I have now. It's fun to write. I've written more with friends, but I don't have them on a computer. So I might try some more...
