Bohemian Muse: Poetry/Lyrics Thread #3

Poetry/Lyrics Thread #2



I wrote this little ditty the other day.

Set fire to my tongue so that I may never utter your name,
the curséd moniker that poisons my very existance.
What had once been beautiful, what had once been perfect
is now wretchéd, black, and withering.
How I held the flower you slipped into my hand until it was
nothing but sand.
How I held onto that morning on the shore until it was
nothing but a distant dream.
Yet you resound so persistently in my pathetic memory,
unwilling to leave, unwilling to change, unwilling to be
anything more than a nightmare.
But no longer will you pollute me and all that is around me.
The time has come for me to pry your fingers(your beautiful,
decliate, slender fingers)from my heart(or was it my throat).
My magnificant nightmare come true.

That was so pretty and kind of dark! Hehe! Loved it.

I edited in the link to the thread if anyone wants to check it out.

I've written some poetry before, but I haven't done some in ages. Looking back, they all sound so emo and teenage-angsty

I have written song lyrics though, putting them to music is another matter!

Poetry? not a strength for me

the only time I tried writing lyrics was as part of a fic, when it was the words to a song that the main character was singing to herself. It was an AU fic set in the middle ages, and it was just a kind of folk song, or meant to be. Kinda lame, I think, but it was fun to develop a structure and rhyme pattern, anyway lol

You guys should try it, totally! I love Poetry! I've written poems ever since I can remember. I won two medals in high school and I wrote my 8th grade graduation poem. I just love lyrics and words...

The only time I've written poetry was back in high school when it was mandatory. It's just not my thing.

This thread is related to music lyrics too, right?

Yep, I think so


This could be a great thread to have, now that the focus of the board is more general

Hmm, I'm sad that only one poem has been posted I'll have to post some later! I have a whole bunch from a creative writing class that I took last semester!

That'd be really awesome!

Okay, I'll go, this is an old idea that I never finished or shaped.

Remind me of this secret once I’ve forgotten it.
Make me remember along the way...
Keep me one step ahead of the fate that vanishes when it’s my time to win the game.

You must keep it safe.
Somewhere where you can always reach it,
it’s my dream, my loveliest intention and you must never let me forget.

I'm the dreamer of this dream,
wrapped away in Summer, kept awake in pain.
I’ve lost all my innocense but all it does is hurt.
You must stay somewhere near, where it can't escape.
If I should forget it all,
you must tell me this story all over again.
