[Riana]

Here's some poetry I write now and then. Some reflect some incidents that have occurred in my life, and I would like to share a few...

Here's one of my first...

I'm all alone,
I feel everything falling apart,
Safe and secure? Not a chance.
There's no one there to hold me,
No one there to guide me,
I am lost.

The pain is too great,
My hopes are fading,
What have I done to deserve this?
I can't let this go,
These memories haunt me,
I am so lost...

[Bahamut ZERO]

Well, even though the poem is short (which isn't a bad thing) the words get the emotions across. I think it was well written, easy to read, and a strong piece of work.

Good stuff Sezi! Keep it up.

[Autumn]

Good poem Riana. It's short but to the point. Very realistic and emotional, which is always good for a poem.

Keep on writing Riana..

[Mercutio]

Very nice indeed, a bit short though, keep it up! ^^

[Riana]

My tears can't stop streaming
They flow like a river
I wish I were dreaming
Because your presence makes me shiver
Why do you haunt me?
With these memories of the past
Please leave me be
I just want peace, a peace that will last

I once felt for you
But you broke my heart
I believe this is our que
To forever part
There is nothing you can say
That will make me change my mind
You knew it would turn out his way
How could I be so stupid and blind?

I have made my desicion
Please get out of my life
Before you terrorise me with another vision
Once again I must strife
"Live and let live" is what they say
That is precisely what I'll do
I shall live with ease everyday
Without ever having to see you

[Neo Xzhan]

That's beautifull Sezi, it really reminds me of certain things in the past. It's good when you can relate to poems, it gives them a more personal touch.

[Bahamut ZERO]

My word, that is AWESOME!!!

That SO hit home with how I've felt before... It was beautifully written and bought a tear to my eye. Great writing my friend, keep it up!

[Summoner Rikku]

I love your poems, Riana! You certainly know how to express your feelings into words. I envy you for that. :o I hope to read more of your poetic goodness!

[Kie]

Wow, look at me posting on a poetry thread. Amazing stuff. But even more amazing stuff by you Riana. *hopes the poem isn't about him* Keep up the good work =DD *hugs*

[Riana]

I dedicate this poem to Adam & Sander, who have been my true knights in shining armour. *wipes a tear* I love you guys don't ever change.


You picked me up, whenever I fell down
You made me smile, if I ever showed a frown.
I felt so empty, everything was going wrong
But you came into my life, and taught me to be strong
You speak only words of wisdom, you also have a gentle touch
It was you who showed me how a person can care so much.

You share a lot of things, even your love
You truly make me wonder, if you fell from above.
I fought life hard, with all my might
But you came like an angel, and guided me to your light.
Whenever we meet, you bring me a new hope
Whenever you're around me, you help me to cope

Don't leave my side, please say you'll stay,
I would be devastated, should you ever go away.
You're a wonderful friend, as great as can be,
Words can't express how much you mean to me.
Thank you for being there, you're a true friend,
I pray that our friendship, will never meet an end.

[Memento Mori]

These poems almost make you want to shed a tear. Very nice rhythm and scheme. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up, fine holiday fun :)

[Bahamut ZERO]

Dunno who this Adam is who she's talking about. Nuh-uh. No idea...

:) A very well written poem, my friend. It's great to be appreciated in such a way, and I'm glad I've been able to help.

Keep 'em coming.

[Autumn]

Great poem Sezi. Don't take this the wrong way when I say your poem style have improved slightly and your talent really shows. I especially like the way your poems are so emotional and personal so I can find a wavelength with them.

Keep up the good work.

[Summoner Rikku]

I really liked this one, Riana. It made me think of my best friend whom I had known since pre-school. God rest her soul.:(

Your a great poet. You go, girl!

[Riana]

I look around me
I see nothing
Except lies, deceit...
And so much grief
As the darkness spreads
I stand alone
I let it consume me
Until there's nothing left

In this sick, sad world
Where nobody cares
I shall drown in my sorrow
So that no one can know me
I'll wander forever
In the dark abyss
That's where I'll stay
That's where I belong

One day I'll know
When my time comes
My life is in shambles
It need not to be lived
I shall hope that my pain
Disappears for good
Even if it means me
So be it

[Neo Xzhan]

Reading over this last poem the tears really sprung out of my eyes, Sezi you're a really talented poet. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[Bahamut ZERO]

Sezi, those words were extremely moving and brilliant in putting across the raw emotion that was obviously trying to be portrayed. They catch the heart and make the reader feel what you are trying to put across. I am very impressed.

As Sander says, you are a great poet. Don't give up heart, people are reading this work. :)

[Riana]

Thank you all for the kind comments. It truly means so much to me.

Heh, cool I thought of a title for this one.
_________

Haunting Me

I close my eyes
I still see you
Watching me
Hurting me
You won't stop
Because you're not pleased
You choose to continue
Haunting me

Your cold heart
Beats loudly like a drum
Your words are like venom
Which poisons my inner strength
Your coarse touch
Your evil eyes
I feel you
I see you
Haunting me

This pain is unbearable
It is killing me slowly
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
No matter how hard I try
The hurt still lingers there
Because of you
Haunting me

[Bahamut ZERO]

Another great poem, putting across a hopeless sort of feeling at not being able to escape one's past. Very well written my friend, very well written. Keep up the work.

[Memento Mori]

I like the last two better than the rest because they are more unique, and have more of a consistent rhyme scheme to them. Very nice stuff.

[Autumn]

Good poems Sezi. Very realistic and emotional. me likes~

You should know what works and what doesn't by now so just keep going at it.

[Riana]

When I first met you
It seemed like a dream
A warm smile
And open arms
You held me
You comforted me
Closely, lovingly
Like no other has ever before

I think of you
Until it hurts
What is this feeling?
It grows stronger, deeper
I long for someone like you
To save me
No more shall I suffer
All because I'm with you

You took my hand
And lead me far away
To a new world
To a new life
Nothing else matters now
We'll never let each other go
We shall always be together
Forevermore

[Neo Xzhan]

You picked a wonderfull subject to write about, it's to feel comfertable being around someone, someone who will help you through tough times.

All in al a wonderfull poem Sezi, don't ever stop writing.

[Autumn]

Prettiful poem Sezi and a good one at that. There's not much else to say about this poem apart from it's refreshing to read something a bit more upbeat. Keep up the great work.

[Riana]

Aww~ Thank you Chris those were lovely. But the midi files don't work.

I wrote this last night...

When I look at you
I see so much beauty
Be it night or day
It won't matter
You'll always be up there
Way up high
Shining your light
Upon the world

I believe it's amazing
The way you inspire me
To love, live
To appreciate the smallest things
And how to see the world
In a different way
But above all
Just to be myself

You have this strange aura
Which heals my sorrow
It's wonderful
It's enlightening
I pray this feeling stays
Because it gives me strength
And just like you
I too, have a dark side

[Setsuna Yuna]

This is a great poem, Riana. I relate to it somehow, but I'm not sure how...well anyways, the feelings in this poem really speak out to me. I love it. Keep it up. ;)

[Autumn]

Good poem Sezi. It's powerful and honest, which must mean that you're gaining strength from past events and poems are great for that, afterall. go you~

Now you should try rhyming your poems sense you have a fair idea of what you want out of your poems. Keep on writing~

[Riana]

*sighs*

This everlasting torment
Will never cease
These sleepless nights
I always bare alone
I fell in a dark hole
A hole that seemed endless
I'm still falling...falling...
Hoping someone will catch me

I cry each night
Praying for the pain to go away
I bleed, I scream
In need of some relief
I wandered into a dark forest
There was no way out
I kept searching and searching
But never found the light

This sorrow of mine
Grows deeper and deeper
I fear someday
It will destroy me
Nothing will heal my broken heart
No matter how hard I try
Please find me
Make me whole again

[Autumn]

That was a good poem Sezi, despite the sadness to it. Yet, it's great to see that you are willing to be honest in your poems. Keep on writing~

[Riana]

I looked yonder a darkened sky
Trying so hard not to cry
Life became bleak
I've grown so weak
I prayed so hard for a sign
Wondering if this life is really mine?

I ask myself, should I care?
My intuition keeps me aware
Ah to hell with it who gives a fuck?
Not me for sure, I'm so out of luck
I never thought I'd feel this low
But I knew somehow it had to be so

I wish with all my might
That someday I'll lose this fight
I pray to God he'll take me away
No longer will I suffer another day
Will I ever be rid of this horrid pain?
If not, I'm sure it will drive me insane

[Bahamut ZERO]

As always Sezi, your poems are flowing with emotion and conjure up powerful images and sensations.

Keep up the good work, and you know where to turn to if you ever need anyone to talk to.

[Althalus]

Your poetry is second to none, Riana. So full of feeling that it gets deep into who ever reads them. Great work :)

[Tal]

I like....

[Riana]

Hey! I got rid of my block!. ^___^

I dedicate this to my estel~

I lay pondering all alone
Sorrowful thoughts that could not part
I tire of being here on my own
My only friend was my lonely heart
But a light did appear
It took me by surprise
Said to me have no fear
And looked deep into my eyes

The light cast an enchanting spell
It soon took form of a winged knight
He held me close, said all was well
Picked me up and took flight
We travelled far and so very wide
As if there was no tomorrow
You promised to stay by my side
Made me forget all my sorrow

Now that you've found me
I no longer feel so weak
Was this truly meant to be?
Am I the love you seek?
My heart stays strong and true
It sings we'll be together
I love you
Always and forever

[Tal]

Amin mela lle. liritlle naa vanima.

[Loki]

Very good stuff Riana.

I do think the middle paragraph is a bit strange. You switch from saying "he" to saying "you". I'm not sure if this was the way you meant to do it and you are talking about two different people in your poem, or if it was just an accident.

[Tal]

As I was just talking to her earlier, I know that the entire thing is to one person.....

[Riana]

Whenever we're together
It feels so right
Whenever we're apart
It feels so wrong
You give me hope
You give me love
Nothing can compare
To your loving care

My heart belongs to you
No other can claim my love
Not a day goes by
Without thoughts of you
I need your touch
To feel warm
I need you
To be complete

Everytime you hold me
Time stands still
I gaze into your eyes
And become enchanted
By your charm
By your embrace
I shall pray
This lasts forever

[Tal]

*hugs* I love it.

[Riana]

Love is a song
I yearn to sing
It falls on me
Like gentle rain
Will you hear this song?
Will you feel the rain?
The sweet sound shall soothe you
The tranquil feel will wash away your sorrow

The stars in the sky
Shine only for you
The Moon stays bright
As our guide for love
I only ask to be held
Close in your arms
As we look above
And gaze at this wondrous beauty

You whisper in my ear
How we'll always be together
You kiss me softly
Showing how much you love me
Say you'll never leave
Say you'll always stay
The only gift I have to give
Is my heart filled with love

[Tal]

<3 I love it.

I love you. Ill always be here for you.

[Loki]

Nice thoughts in that poem Riana... very beautiful... doesn't flow very well though.

[Riana]

...and only certain people will know why :x)


A cold wind blows
Only my heart knows
Why my gain
Brought such pain
Will you say,
Don�t go away
I need you
And it�s true

Life was grand
When you held my hand
You would smile
For a while
You pushed me down
And wore a frown
That was your que
To say I hate you

Now you hurt me
Said go and leave me.
You�ve teared apart,
My lonely heart,
Told me to break,
For your sake.
Hush now, it�s broken
Because of such words spoken.
