If you can build a rhyme
A Poet you may not be
A Poem is always made of three
The length of speech or rather time
The cascade of syllables in your stanza
and of course an artist`s daring touch
Though poetic slanderers do not amount to much
Wits in poetry are rare
Most witty poets are much like a chair
Which sits and pretty seems to naked eyes
But with strong enough glasses
Feel no surprise
If your Poet will not a rhyme remember
Nor pen to parchment put and slender
Verses produce upon a swooning page
As pigeons pulled out of the hat of a mage
Stay by my side,my angel of night
Lay by me in the silvery light
Of the grinning moon
Don`t leave me in the shadow
of the desert or that of a cool monsoon
If by day we must be parted and I cannot then hold you
Then night will become my day,the moon my sun
For you I`ll leave the rays of shine and heat
I`ll leave the cities,in which thousands of feet
stomp as elephants,lazily following a call
I`ll go with you where trees are tall
and mountains great
Where fog swirls like a dancer above the Peaks
Where the wind whispers and speaks
To those that do not wish their fate
To be alone and ever weary

wow, I love ur style
i agree NOKOMIS...beautiful
you write from the heart,that is good,I like your poems,they are great.
I don`t really care what I`m called
There is always a Story to be told
About me and all the things that I did wrong
But you can put me in word or song
But at the sun set,I`m gone
I don`t answer my phone
I don`t exist,only that which you crumpled and threw away
The fruit of Labor of night and day
As the ink Shows through the Skin
of the paper it flows slow and thin
A syrup on the floor
But then don`t ask for me when your star is burned
out and when the light is turned
away from them,you Need my words to sell your wares
To pay your fares
and sit until the blood freezes in you
Always will there be me and you,two
People who hate each other
but can`t bother
To bring
End
My Dark Wraith,hold me tender,hold me Close
To you and your darkness
Let the shadows seep into me,dose by dose
From your Soul,share it with me
And I`ll share my own
For shadow kisses burn more free
And even when they are gone
The hint of flame can still remain
Giving a caressing,dark flame

I`m not your Vampire,erotic and shadowy
I`m more like a creature of hunger,feeding on thoughts
I say this so that others may hear
I can whisper in your ear,
Like a ghost or one of your fictional pets
But know that though blood to many is life
I do not have this Motto or its regrets
I like your energy to blood
Your Soul and mind to your flesh
I live in the mind,much like an Incubus
Though I may seem to be cold,I am heated
Be it by your growling hate,your flaming lust
Your rousing happiness or drowning sorrow
I am a Vampyre of Emotion
To me blood is nothing more than a watery potion
We wear the mask that grins and lies
It hides our face,it shields our eyes
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
We wear the mask
(This Poem was inspired by Paul Laurence Dunbar`s Poem of the same Name)

Very strait and to the point..
true
Will I always be hunted,like a hare
by your greed?
Do you not care?
For my freedom,my dancing
My life,pelt upon which children prancing
Are seen by their mothers and fathers eyes

This one needs a ending line.. it feels like its missing the BOOM at the end
For what does man toil? for what do we try?
After all,in 6 decades or so,we will die
So why spend so much energy?,spend so much time
On creating a sand Castle which will fall
Yet maybe we will live on through our work
Through our words,through our Appeal
For though in every road there is a fork
Not ever choice is clear or real
But if we will invest ourselves in works which live forever
Then we shall never
be forgot
Our toil will make us truly free
Immortal,now and forever to be
Frozen in Motion
They twirl in a seductive
Dance of joy and life
