Faust's Poetry

[Richtofen]

Yes, you indeed heard me...poetry! I like writing and poetry puts me to ease. I know not everyone likes it but I have a different style, so sit back and relax while you read it. I will update every now and again if you like them enough. Drop a few tips or comments if you wish, enjoy!

Music Maker

It fits in the
palm of your hand
music pours from
the headphones plugged
in.

It plays and plays
a screen comes up
Battery low
the music still plays

It’s flashing now
One song
Last breath
the music box
shuts off
Good night​

Patchwork

It does not have a
Defined shape
It has many
Scribbles
Zig zags
A giant BLOB
Patches of
Squares
It’s confused
What colour?
What shape?
Green, red, blue?
Start
Here.
Divided line
Blurred colours
Fears?
Perhaps
But it is
ONLY
A piece of
PATCHWORK
Like Myself.​

Tainted Love

It’s dark
Cruel
Unforgiving
This…
Feeling of love
It’s a drug
ONE taste
You’re addicted

Cold
Harsh
Unforgiving
One touch
Butterflies rise high
We’re doomed now

Lust
Overprotection
Victim
Explosive

Once was enough
Your first kiss was your
First kiss
G O O D B Y E.

Those moments we shared
Feelings of despair
My love is cold
My heart is still
The love
W I T H I N
Vanished into thin air

All because of that
ONE moment
We shared​

 

[Shadow]

=D I loved that last one. Nice work, Faust.

 

[Richtofen]

Thanks man. ^_^; I wanted to make a thread for my poems because I have quite a few of them I would like to post every now and again. Thanks again! *hugs* ^_^

Edit-Here's another poem.

Blue Melody

The sea, so blue and Big
The fish dance under the sunlight
Shimmering and glowing
Oh sweet lullaby

The sea people play lively violins
Chimes, chellos, flutes
Within the coral reefs
Without a care of the outside world

Aqua blue twirling around your feet
Applauding your presence
What a fine night to be out

Full moon rising
Music flowing
Water glowing

I wish
I could be part of the
Oceans
Orchestra

 

[Richtofen]

Here are some new poems. ^_^

Addicted

A few days ago, I had
My first taste of ink
I’m addicted
One stroke, I’m in love
It flows through from
The tip
My soul coming out like
Puzzle pieces

I’ve been tainted
By the alluring finger
And now
I’m forever chained
Until either my
Ink or
Soul
Runs dry​

Colours of regret

Pen in hand
Ink in bottle
Plethora of colours
Where to start?
White for purity
Black for sorrow
Red for the blood I shed
Yellow for jealousy
Orange for fury
Blue for the tears I cry
Green for being so naive
Violet for dreams
Never ending possibilities’
Inked in colour coated
Regrets​

A Drop of black

Blank paper
Silence
My mind
A choir of voices
Pen and ink
Ideas untapped
The blank page stares back
My mind yells “help me!”
My hand freezes
Cold in its tracks
Once I start
No turning back
Forbidden fruit
Bitter sweet
A drop of black
Stains the sheet​

 

[Dante'sgirl]

I read all your poems and I fell in love with this one 'Colours of regret'...so nice!! good work!!

 

[Richtofen]

Thanks Dante'sgirl! I'm glad you like them.

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

Wow, I wish i could write poetry.
*Haz envies*

I read Tainted Love, and it reminded me of one of my other Nite-Runner Stories (Nite-Runner: Innocence, can't post it here because of the content)

A drop of black is great too.
Hell, they're all great.

 

[Richtofen]

Thank you VB, that means a lot to me! I'm flattered that one of my poems reminded you about one of your stories you made! ^_^;

You're a great writer too, I'm sure you can make great poems as well. =]

Edit: Another poem.

The Forage

The heat of the Fire
Roaring of the Forage
Crackling of Coal
Hammering of Iron
is my kind of
Beauty

Covered in Soot
Damp with sweat
Blisters on my hands
Calloused and Rough
is my kind of
Beauty

The smoke dancing around the room
the Cackling of Fire
Iron against Iron
the feel of Hot Metal Rods
Searing and Painful
This is my kind of
Beauty

It’s too quiet at night
When the forage sleeps
The hammer lies down, wanting to be used
The anvil so warm from the days work

This is my kind
Of Beauty

 

[Richtofen]

And a few more.

Fiery Haven

A man and a young male teenager
Breathe life into me
My heart beings to glow then rages
Into a fire
Brought forth from the ashes

They feed me,
Fueling the warmth I give
To them
A look on their faces
Memory lane

So many memories I give them to
r e m e m b e r

Time

Marches

On

They tend to my coals
Turning them over to expose them
To the air

Another pair comes down the steps
And older woman and a young teenage woman
And bring with them
Food

The smell of burning wood
Hot dogs
Fish and
Fries

They gather around me
Happy
And
Laughing

Their eyes glimmer with
A hint of sadness and sorrow

They
ALL
Know

That someday
It will
Have to
E n d
.

But will always
R E M E M B E R
My
Fiery Haven​

Ode to Tears

They shine
They shimmer
They glow
And bask
They are cold
Angry
Lashing out at everything

O tears of mine
Stinging my eyes
They hurt me
Leaving a salty trail
Down my cheeks

By yet they love me
Caressing my soul and body
Love, compassion, honesty
Pain, anger and truth

They light a new way
A new truth
No lies
Weakness leaving the body

No need to fear
Because these tears
Are what makes me
Human​

Cheap Tips and Dirty Tricks

Don’t push your religious crap on me
Life is about fighting for me
Not praying to a God

If you can’t take my way of thinking
So. Be. It.
Life is full of Cheap Tips and Dirty Tricks

You think it’s goin’ so well then it
Runs down hill for you
But that doesn’t stop me!
I keep going back up that muddy hill
When it rains, it pours…
At least I try to remember
An umbrella

It’s harsh I know
Truth is, life ain’t fair
You can’t wish it will all get better
You gotta get out there yourself
and do it
No matter how big the task may be

There are always those lucky ones
You Hate and Despise
They don’t work so hard like you and I
They got a job landed at their feet
But let me tell you this
They don’t know life like you and I
They didn’t grab it by its horns
And go along for a ride
No,
They sat down and reaped the benefits
While people like I get trampled down
Beaten and Broken
But I know the true beauty of life
It’s wonderful
So lovely
So broken

I’m willing to work hard
Enjoy life as it is,
Taking it the way it comes at me
I’ve made it far
Tooth and Nail
I don’t need your preaching
To a God
To make it better

Life is full of Cheap Tips and Dirty Tricks
And don’t forget
Two can play at that game​

 

[Ebony]

Very nice work Faust! I can write to save my life, so I'm always in awe of people who can. Go you! ^_^ Eb

 

[Richtofen]

Thanks Ebony, I'm glad you enjoyed them. ^_^ I try my best.

 

[Richtofen]

These are a couple unnamed poems, enjoy them!

This poem seems cheesy
but listen well
This is for you,
my elusive love.

My heart beats on
against all odds
It endures the pain
of your phantom touch
your voice speaks truth
Even when a whole world apart
But tis only just a start

I reveal to you a piece of my soul
bare and open
I will wait for you
Trust me when I say
I Love You

My mind is haunted​

with your image​

untouched, unobtainable​

teasing​

But bears​

the richest of fruit​

For if I dare​

Beneath each smile​

there is a tear​

Behind each "I'm fine"​

there is a hidden fear​

When my heart beats faster​

it begins to tear​

Despite all this,​

I continue to fight​

because I feel it's right​

Everyday you say​

You'll be here for me​

Each time I smile​

because I know it's true​

But deep inside​

I'm scared​

For the day​

You're not there​

 

[LordOfDarkness]

I love all of your poetry. It's very deep and meaningful, with lots of truths and thoughts to them. Very well written and very beautiful. Keep up the great work ^_^

 

[Richtofen]

Thanks LoD, that means a lot to me. Yeah, they can be subtle or as open as I want them to be. ^_^

 

[Richtofen]

I can see you
Clear as day
I reach for you
But you fade away

I talk to you
every moment
but every syllable
Is my own torment

My heart cries out for you
so close
yet so

F

A

R

A love​

bound by fate​

tests and trials​

hardships​

companionship​

Even though as little​

as this sounds​

through pixels​

and texts​

The test of time​

will come to pass​

we will one day​

feel as a whole​

 

[Richtofen]

No matter how dark
it gets
always r e a c h
for the Light

When all looks hopeless,
hold on
Tight

I'm always present
in your heart
that ever glowing
ray of light
