Suffering Sorrow
By The Deadly Shadow

Rain drops as she cries
The tears start to intensify
The dark clouds roll in
As she sits alone

She sits at the window
The rain hits the glass
She sits alone afraid of the light
She sits there waiting, in the middle of the night

She holds a small flower in her little petit fingers
The petals fall softly as she held it gently
She looked out the window staring strangely
"Is it me?" She asked as she let go

The flower landed to the ground, the last petal on
Her breath became heavy as red overcame her face
The tears have ceased and her eyes slowly closed
She whispered softly "Forever shall I hold"

She fell to the ground as the last petal fell
Her eye closed, her mind closed to a blank
She had fallen to her doom, she had sank
Into her doom, into the pits of hell

Demons in my soul
by Haven kitsune

I am alone and unknown
I wonder about the unseen
I hear death closeing in
I see myself fading within
I want to be left alone
I am alone and unknown

I pretend to known what i'm doing
I feel as if i'm not moving
I touch my very soul
I worry about everything
I cry inside, but it's never shown
I am alone and unknown

I understand that no one can never be trusted
I say that the truth must be known
I dream of the many ways of death
I try to go on everyday by myself
I hope I can finaly start to live my life
I am alone and unknown

The Last Day of War, First Day of Peace



On the horizon,
On the last day of war,
The two armies shall meet,
as the wives will weep,
blood and gore shall cover the field,
and endless sleep for the thousands fallen

The vultures shall feast,
and men will become beast,
the grounds of wheat,
will become grounds of meat,

The scent of death is in the air,
the last drops of wine have been shared,
Dust is kicked up into the sky,
carrying with them 2 countries' lies,
as the young will pay,
for what the old have laid,

Suitors will rejoice,
families will weep,
friends shall grieve,
and lovers shall receive pity,


The last screams shall be heard,
the final drops of blood will bleed,
all innocence will be lost,

But the morrow will bring peace,
the fallen honored,
towns will be filled,
with the silence of grief,
the sun shall shine,
fueled with peace,

The moon will shine bright!
guiding the fallen souls,
to their rightful places,
dead heroes shall live,
through the statues that worship them,

For the Last Day of War shall give way,
to the First Day of Peace...

Flowers In Bloom
By Shadowxrose Aka Johnny

In love and death
I see love opening
And love holds a seal on health
I'll see sensuality
In a lovers first kiss.

The moon shines above
In cherry blossoms
Floating above
For heavens delight
I lay my lips on a rose.

One last night
before your love
leaves me blind sighted
I kiss you once last time
As we watch the flowers bloom in winter time.

No Reason to Live

Can you see...

The blood I shed,
when pain and sorrow is all I feel.
That I've taken the blade,
and pierced my soul.

Did you know...

I have been to Hell,
That's where I belong,
All that I have seen and felt
Is nothing compared
to the suffering of my life.

My hearts been shattered,
I have no remorse
The hole it created
is now empty.
I threw my emotions away,
hoping one day someone finds them.
So they can put them to good use,
since I don't need them anymore.

A hole in my chest,
Pain and sorrow in my eyes
A blade in one hand,
scars on the wrist.

My life has no future,
It doesn't need me
If you met me you would see.
That I've been to Hell
Now I'm going there again...

The Grasp of Death

Death, the messenger of sadness, loss and sorrow,
It might knock on your door tomorrow.

When it comes it smells your fear,
Makes your loved ones shed a tear.

But do not worry, nor be scared,
As it's a happy place in our lair.

If you decide to join us all,
You'll stay with us until time's fall.

Golden Star

By
Lightning Skyfire

Golden star, in the night,
Shining in the sky, lovely and bright.
No one, can ever take you away,
Like a angel in heaven you are here to stay.
Too bad i can only see you in the night,
I can see you only for a few hours, but thats alright.
As long as i know your always way up there,
Every night, i will stop and stare.
In my bedroom i will always see
You looking down at me.
Golden star in the night,
Shining in the sky, lovely and bright.

A Gloomy Bunch
A haiku by Yin Yun Yang


Such a gloomy bunch
These tamers that gather here.
Many sad poems.

I Am The Night

I am the night.

I am darkness at it's bluest.

To me there is sheer delight in the shadow of the night

No need to insist, for the night I exist.

The light of day is not night's way.

I am the night.

I am a creature of the dark.

I have been groomed for gloom.

For eons of time, the night has been mine.

I can't remember when the night and me didn't function as twins.

Just as the ocean's floor holds mysteries, the night alone conceals my history.

I am the night

Just as poetry flows from ocean currents and from the slashing force of wind

springs forth designs,

Each drop of rain delivers music to our minds, poetry never ceases.

From my point of view, at night it increases.
I find beauty in each dancing shadow and exquisite delight in the secret of the night.


The spirit things clothed in the unknown,
Travel the same path that I consider home.
Things that move skillfully at night do so without sight.
I love these wonders for I am the night.


My five senses are more acute than most.

Of this superiority, I proudly boast.

My movements are as swift as lightening dashing across the sky.

They can't be held in focus by the human eye.

Question - Who am I?


I feed on a secret vein of life and rest in the protective cover of dusk in disguise.

My skin is cold to the touch, don't worry you won't touch me much.

My beginning is of no importance, but I see no end in sight.

I believe I am forever;

I am the night

I have been known by many titles and names.

For none of them do I feel shame, for I exist as all do.

Just as I am me, and you are you.

I am called Satan, Impaler, Death, Blood Drinker; just to name a few -

Pick one that suits you.

Some even call me a Ghost;
yet, vampire is what I am called the most
Whether these names are wrong or right, the fact remains -

I am the night.

Death's Assimilation.
Epic_Muffin

When Death appears,
Then only thing that will show in hearts is fear.
But when his assimilation appears,
All hearts strive to exist when Death's time is near.
Death's time to die,
Everyone's hearts soar and fly.

For when Death is defeated,
All fears in the world shall be defeated.
All the pain and strife,
Things only caused on the edge of a knife.
Disappear, wreak havoc elsewhere,
We need no fear, here, or anywhere.

So disappear from your assimilation,
Fear and chaos, will be inexistant across our nation.
Then our true emotions will arise, and aspire,
Not these blank expressions, like being hung on barbed wire.

Now, Death's life is gaged,
We will never die or age.
Allowing thoughts to rise,
Without sorrow, because no one dies.

Life can live, only with Death,
To keep his watchful eye over every breath.
Every breath that we take,
Every time that we shake.

For this is Death's job, and he does it well,
So obey, or be sent to hell.

scratch this one....

Fire Dance

Embers burn with garnet flames,
Swaying, twirling and jumping in the wind.
Ruby tendrils reaching for the sky,
Shadows dancing to the rhythm of time.
Figures of flame jumping around with arms in the air,
Singing with voices strong or soft to create the melody.
Moon and stars stare in wonder,
Until the sun wakes to join the dance.

Monsters- By jollyjube

Some in the morning, some in the night,
We are the ones that give you a fright.

Some in the closet, under the bed,
whatever it takes to get you dead.

Get in our way, we'll give you a scare,
only some people get into our lair.

Monsters there, monsters here,
we are the ones that fill you with fear.

The poems read, you're expecting us,
we'll come to your door and kill you, no fuss.
