Sinse this forum has died for months now...

[Camby Savelle]

I'll be posting my poetry here. some of it's good, some is bad. you can add your comments if you wish. I'll update it as I write, so only recent peices will be posted.


a wish for wings that work

In silence your words are teardrops
they cut through me in the shape of hearts
suffering.pleading.begging.will you smile
let sunlight break this window of thoughts
a me without you.a world without dreams
to deprive tomorrow.I will give you today
a sacraficed desire to be more then alive
your eyes.they whipe clouds away
as black as the night on a white rose
you distort the image of me
and as perfect as midnight's moonlit smile
you show me all that is beauty
a world without you is to steal the soul from the sun
I would illuminate the sky.if you asked me to
these words are lifeless without your eyes to read
I am nothing without the light of you
these pieces of me I try so hard to hide
and these wishes that wonder the horizion at night
you see them and how bad they hurt to hold
you stencil the outline of us in a heart & whisper "goodbye"

the title is from a poison the well song, but the poem is completely mine.

Untitled

To look into you & see you for all that you are
as waves crash into the shore of my heart
shattering the rememberance I hoped to never forget
a girl as perfect as the pieces of the sky
I dream of you with my eyes open
close as angels, I feel your arms wrapped around me
this world is a world away from home now
and you'd still storm around this room like you used to
it was those nights, you would smile the most
and with everything gone, a fading image is enough to stain
all that we used to be

the memories of a wilted candle

pain is such an insignifacant word
if I believe in a hallow heart, I drown in ambition
and as you leave, I see myself gasping for air
suffocating as my emotions give into submission
in the pleads for your attention, lost as if alone
the weathered remains of desire have turned cold
you will walk this path without me
and the encasing of my smile will turn from stone
into a new light, a sheltered crevess of happiness
an eluded wish carried upon the leaves of the wind
to a heaven only rumored to exist
in the warm feathers of the nightsky we should have been

Crown the Sunset

Crown the sunset, or tell me differently:
You swell in fruitless minds and bare nothing
Beautiful. You depend upon chances
Created within humanity's realm.

Rise from the ashes and remove your stone
Or die again. Jaunt worship falls blindly
Before your castle. You contort man's will.
Your judgement is the pretense of my death.

Scorch the earth, or turn the oceans blood red.
Stifle your perverse proponents of guilt.
Squander man's greed and leave my lust alone.
Stop the winter's chill and I will follow.

I love you the same as I love this box.
Without your love, I cannot die in peace.

Metro Transit

Contained bodies dance with distant minds.
Anxious legs quiver for movement.
What a gallop of faces.
Worn seats lay tinged
with bodies from a different time.


Life As It Is

Drunk with fear that this is life,
my angst lays dormant.

If life was less than strike me down.
As an animal I would maul you.
If life was less than tell me now
my brilliance goes unseen.
If life was less than what I see
why do we quiver for attention.

My fears to be caged and never
be are feelings I keep inside.

Brick Wall

Were you created
hoping simply to survive?
Could you see
true beauty without your eyes?
Have you died
and seen your life anew?

Previous generations built
the castle you will sleep in.

Your senses cannot interpret
the immortal misconceptions
that you will soon
die in.

Peace,

Peace.

 

[Camby Savelle]

I realy like your style, very poetic in the traditional sense. "crown the sunset" was my favorite out of the few.

why sad songs fix broken hearts

with songs that only the stars can sing
you will find me here, under a world of dreams
I've cut out the clouds, pieced together the sky
stained the horizion the same color as your eyes
fields beautiful, flooded with the red of roses
a heart has poured itself out for all to notice
this is my piece of mind, a warmth only found within the confinds of me
and if dreams are all it takes to be happy, I will close my eyes perminetly

 

[Camby Savelle]

if I could walk upon the sky

as I write these words
I fall beneath the sky
under an ocean of ash
into a silouhette of lies
if I was never nothing
engraved dreams would wash away
they've stained themselves
only to show you shades of gray
a hazey vision of illumination
(but you shine ever so bright)
a scar embrassing contamination
the candles that light midnight
your words carry you
and my heart grows impatiant
for something I will never have
and will only leave my dreams vaccant
as I write these words
I fall beneath the clouds
under a sea silenced in deception
into a mirror of all I know now

good stuff u makin a book?

 

[Camby Savelle]

actuley yea, the process is going very slow though. I need people that can do artwork to illustrate it & my editor seems to move at the speed of a stoned snail.

 

[m.w.merlino]

Camby, your shit is WAY tight, the only thing that gets me is sometimes you throw in alot of periods to accentuate a pause, i think dash's are alot more effective that way, or blank space like this--instead--of. this. because. it. cuts. it. way too short.

 

[Camby Savelle]

I know, I'm trying to stop doing that completely. most of the periods are not needed at all. they sort of became habit after some earlier pieces I wrote where they fit alot better.

 

[Ironic Commando]

im not one to knit pick...but your typos are very distracting...other than that...im feelin it

 

[Spits]

camby, i'm not feeling you. You don't keep it street u on some abstract shit that really don't mean nuttin if you break it down accept life is fucked up! that's it

 

[Camby Savelle]

Okay, it's not suppost to be street though.

the conclusion of a lost feather

I sit with my notebook under a waterfall
as puddles tear these pages
I can't help but think of you
(they say).....................a heart'll call
if loves so contagious
I inhale emotion
if only to hear you breathe once more
to reach into our dreams and pull my heart off the floor
these thoughts have drowned
...but rainclouds still comfort my head
a stormy sound, to tuck me into bed
with the words I once wrote
washed away & stained
teardrops rip out the pages
& I accept we won't ever be the same
