Decided that what some other members were doing - having one thread for all their poetry - would be a good idea. Most of my poems are written as lyrics. They often have the verse/chorus/bridge format, and there's always rhyme and rhythm to them. Sometimes I write stories/descriptive passages or essay type things, and if they're good enough I might post them here as well.



Oh, and comments are much appreciated.



I'll start off with one of my simplest, but also one of my best.



It's called "The Escape".







I leave the light on



And I leave myself



The figure in front



Must be some one else



Anyone else



I am paralysed



The world also seems to be



From all I've analysed



From all I've seen







The good things in life



Are but a dream







I feel the sting



Familiar sensation



It's calm, comforting



A sign of desperation



Pain ridden desperation







A slight sense of guilt



Accomanies it



Destroying all I've built



Stupid bull shit



Stupid shit



Worthless bull shit



Same old shit







And it's just about to



Start and finish



Again.
