The bird by the tracks by ~TheArrowsOfArtemis:iconTheArrowsOfArtemis:



Broken glass upon the floor,
Shattered dreams that can not soar,
Scathed wings unable to fly,
Immortal life unable to die.
False names painted upon the bricks,
Night makes them one in the mix,
Moonlight slices the shadows in the tracks,
As their darkness retreats through the cracks,
A grave of memories without stones,
The Ghosts of regrets walking alone,
Distorted reflections through vague visions,
Direction found only through pure intuition,
Dreams of magic taken from the stars above,
Whispers given to them in wishes of love,
The wind plays for the angels to sing,
A song of a crown that had lost its king.

Her fire couldn’t melt the ice that kept him cold,
For he knew no difference among love and gold,
All he had was all he could take,
All she had was what she could make,
She gave him her hearts possessions,
Yet he gave her empty confessions,
She tried to keep him from his own war,
But his was a sickness she couldn’t cure,
She was fooled by her confidence in his heart,
His deceptions watched her world fall apart,
She was the solider fighting for him,
For in his cowardice he wouldn’t win,
Then one day she would finally see,
What she saw in him he couldn’t be,
She was his mask and she was his weapon,
She was his lie and his deception,
He was her strength and he was her weakness,
He was a hope in a life he made meaningless,
She swallowed her heart and confusion,
Looked through his eyes and found a resolution,
The caged bird sings for it can not fly,
For within those bars its heart may die,
It wants to know more than bars of steel,
It wants learn it wants to feel,
It wants to live it wants to breathe,
It wants to fly it wants to be.

okay this one might be very difficult to understand. The first part is about the dead tracks in my city. There a set of tracks that haven't been used for over fifty years and they lie ahead of a abandoned warehouse in complete darkness...The writings on the wall are meant to symbolize the tags of grafitti gangs have left there through the years. The first part is baisically me in the tracks after all is said and done, and the second part is me reminicing of a relationship i had gone through. It's a little difficult I know...

"Do dreams offer lessons? Do nightmares have themes, do we awaken and analyze them and live our lives and advise others as a result? Can the foot soldier teach anything important about war, merely for having been there? I think not. He can tell war storie
Wow awesome poetry dude
*chukles*
Well. I believe in your individuality but it's tenuous with this one.


I'm not going to tear into it, because my head won't allow me to do so in a manner that could be considered productive right now.
What I will do is tell you that I like it.
I'll also toss a fav your way, because I'm nice like that, and you're good like that.

you had a way so familiar, but i could not recognize, cause you had blood on your face; i had blood in my eyes.
Wow, this is a very nice poem. The two parts work very well separately. The poem would be near-perfect if you combined the two parts a bit stronger, perhaps if you put them into a single part.
Thank you very much. I'll work on that.

Fui bailar no meu batel
Além no mar cruel
E o mar bramindo
Diz que eu fui roubar
A luz sem par
Do teu olhar tão lindo

Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração

Se eu bailar no meu batel
Não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo a
i really like this poem! its got a nice rhyme scheme and a lovely tale twisted into it. ^_^ great job.
