Four of my poems

Well, I've decided I might as well post these here, since I always wanna hear what people think of 'em. There probably my favorite poems of my own make (I've got a bunch lying around). You may notice I like a classic approach and I like using rime

The first on is basically a comedic poem. That just sound stupid, let's just say it has a humorous approach and focus

A guy’s ode to freedom

When our defenses are down,
When of fun and joy we partake,
Love creeps in,
And stupid decisions we start to make.

It claws at our hearts,
Ripping and tearing them in two,
And then there we go, we say it,
“Honey, I love you!”

‘Tis then we fall,
The taste of freedom dry on our lips.
What guy could resist,
Her seductive, shaking hips.

The deed is done.
Married, shackled, we beg for it, plead,
But no matter our plight,
A prisoner’s life we lead.

“Oh, to be a guy!” say the men.
Never again!

---

Well, I find it cute. No deeper meaning really, just plain stuff

The next one is on a more serious note, so judge for yourself

The last stand of humanity

And as I stare,
Through unwitting eyes,
Over darkened vales,
Across darker skies,

Towards the army,
Heading for me,
I will persevere,
Fighting for thee,

For your love,
Is what keeps me going,
And when I die,
I’ll die knowing,

That when we meet,
Beyond this life,
We’ll be joined,
You’ll be my wife.

And so I fight,
The last stand of humanity,
Drawing all my might,
Before the onset of insanity.

---

This one is also pretty much straight up, but with powerful feelings backing it.

The next one is a power trip, so enjoy!

Ascension

Evil unending,
Power so great,
To you I chant,
Direct my fate!

My mind is yours,
My soul is too,
Unending power,
I demand from you!

Unlock my potential,
The power within,
I feel that power,
My malevolent grin!

Woe be onto ye,
Who contradicts me,
For now even He,
Shall fall before me!

---

Damn I love that one! It's just so... in your face brash

And the last one is an intimate one, one which is very dear to me.

A dream of longing

Sleep the sleep of longing,
Tired, weary, worn,
Drift into nocturnal bliss.

Journey through realities,
Far from our own,
Realities spawned of this.

For this is a dream,
As such things are,
A dream of what you miss.

A dream from the heart,
A dream that’s apart,
A dream of a lover’s kiss.

---

And I so love the last part.
Well anyway, I'd like to hear your oppinions on these, and I hope you like them

What can I say? I read them all, and I like them all. I don't really know why, but my favourite is "The last stand of humanity".

Well I'm glad you like them! Ascension was probably the first poem I wrote with the intention of making something good, and it turned out awesome
The last stand of humanity was inspired by a novel I started writting a while back and never finished. The thing I always liked most about it is the message behind it, and the way it's portrayed.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words!

I don't know. They all sort of moved me in some way. Oh well. X_X

Good job, Mezzer. Why don't you post more of your poems? :/

Well, I might, but they aren't all good or anything. I could also post the first 30 pages of a warcraft shortish story (aspires towards novel) that I wrote a couple of years back. It's decent for when I wrote it, it just laked a decent title and ending. Well, a middle and an ending. But I doubt most people are willing to read 30 (A4) pages of a half finished short story/novel in the warcraft (ish) world.

They're nice. In some your rhyming scheme was on and off, but they're still good.
