    Alioth's Poetry Thread

    Hey all! I'll be posting my poetry here for those who want to read something different. Poetry is something I am still trying to improve on, so critique away all you want! I had a poem published within Afflatus Magazine, so that's...good I think haha.

    Through infinity’s eye and the stratosphere of your heart, I urge you to rampage through valleys and mountains to find the goddess of your vain. Let your corpse dance in desperation, feeding on the vast, cerulean forests, where wisdom is still through its eternal glades of scarlet. Do not be the one to shiver in cobalt, yet oppose this violet facade and become submerged within the crimson grass. When the seams of spring start to overflow your vision with the grisly iridescence, chimes will scream with chains of ivory that will draw everything away from it. The moment you are about to fall, I urge you, ferociously fly to the ivory light until you cannot anymore. It will eradicate all vanity, freeing everything from the bane of thoughts. Let the bells of life waltz in silence, levitating towards a new qualm.

    Notes: I tried to make a lighter themed poem with this one. Not sure how well it worked out because I am so used to writing dark poetry.

    Dancing in Limbo
    I righteously prevailed,
    Topping the tearful towers
    Of my modest pretenses,
    Iridescence in ivory,
    Overwhelming the opal barriers
    Of what we call
    Hope.

    Garnet gathering together
    In the dungeons of my
    Despair,
    Naked with
    Neglect.

    It is a fortune,
    Yet perils unveiled
    The violently,
    Withering wails
    Once overt,
    Now nourished with all
    Qualms.

    Moments malfunction,
    Days disembark,
    Yet I lie here,
    Dancing
    Within the vines of
    Limbo,
    Wanting her hollow hands
    To bolster its banquets
    Once.

    Notes: I wrote this as a response to my sister blasting me for being apart of LGBTQA+. I definitely like writing darker, but taking a more modern take on it.

    Maili
    I excavate vicariously
    For the thundering droplets
    Upon our lavender lore,
    As my corpse deteriorates
    Against these blackened skies.

    Maili! Scissor through the skies,
    For I have conveyed sorrow,
    I have opened the gates
    To the treachery,
    Misguiding my malice.
    I clasp onto your ruby locks,
    Shivering stutters from my lips,
    Maili! Vivas Maili...

    Retribution is upon
    Our scandalous souls,
    My misdemeanant malice,
    Her horrific serenity,
    What was once pure,
    Is now garnished with gloom.

    Maili! I fathomed forbidden fruit
    For centuries before you,
    Yet time has clasped my sapphire,
    Time has disintegrated my ruby,
    Vanity has taken over my pearl,
    Envy has taken over my diamond,
    For what was once pure
    Is now enchanted with toxic.

    Goddess! Grace me with pain,
    Enchant me with wreathing wildfires,
    For now I exorcise myself
    And soar within my casket,
    Uttering pale pretentions,
    Maili! Amas...Maili!

    Notes: This was written about a year and a half ago, when I was having severe arguments with my ex girlfriend, who I once considered a best friend. We're on ok terms now, but I doubt we're gonna be friends like we once were. This was also somewhat of a coming out poem for those who would bash me because I was bi curious. I know I am rather gay or asexual though...

    The Gift
    I drank it,
    Every scar,
    Every burn
    Etched on my heart
    To please those
    Who love me.

    I ate it,
    Those words,
    Embedded within
    My nerves,
    Leaving me to
    Bleed,
    With broken fragments
    Of a dream.

    I felt it,
    My heart,
    Breaking,
    POUNDING
    For a way out
    Of this misery.

    I heard it,
    The screaming,
    Voices...voices
    Saving
    My memories
    Of this life.

    I smelled it,
    The anomaly stench
    Of what broke,
    Scarred,
    And left me
    Dismembered in
    Sorrow.

    I went off,
    Breathed,
    Distracted,
    Cried,
    But nothing...nothing
    Will heal
    These broken wounds.

    Then
    I saw it,
    The clouds
    Dissolving
    From the light
    Of everyone,
    Everyone I cherished,
    Reaching into my heart.

    I felt it,
    The embrace
    Of those
    In memory,
    Taking all this
    Toxicity,
    Leaving me
    to Heal.

    I heard it,
    The bells,
    Vibrating,
    Inviting me
    To stand by
    The iron gates,
    Etching my name
    Into the Earth
    Beneath my feet.

    I tasted it,
    The body,
    Changing,
    Sacrificed
    For every soul
    Baptized into
    Life for a
    Purpose.

    I thirsted for it,
    Every dream,
    All my fantasies
    To bring my fables,
    The very essence
    Of me
    To be happy.

    Notes: I made this poem when I felt real suicidal. It was...something I needed to get out of me, mainly because I felt cold, lonely, and loathed by others. It helped me with how I was feeling, and to really confront my feelings within the moments.

    Silence
    Part I
    I take the hands
    Of the clock,
    Spinning away
    My pain and
    Sorrow
    Back to its
    Roots.

    Vicious vipers
    Wrap their tails
    Around my
    Limbs,
    Circling,
    Draining each limb
    To limpness
    Of no
    Tomorrow.

    Black tides
    Envelop my
    Body,
    Draining the
    Very last breaths
    Of my
    Serenity,
    Joy,
    Leaving me
    In the void
    Of time itself.

    I enter it,
    The darkness
    Of my fated
    Abyss,
    Longing for
    Answers
    Towards the qualm
    That was never
    Questioned,
    Draining my
    Shivering eyes.

    Part II
    My limbs
    Are now prancing
    Around my mind,
    Leaving this
    Abandoned memory
    To drown
    Within these
    White sands.

    I take my arms,
    Wrap them around
    My botched
    Neck,
    Holding on
    Every ounce
    Of pain
    Shivering within
    The temple of
    My spine.

    I clasp my eyes,
    Ripping,
    Tearing them
    Out of my
    Head,
    Yet no screams
    Were heard
    As the black blood
    Spills over
    My neck.

    My porcelain tears
    Have reached
    My lips,
    Ripping at
    The seams
    Of my
    Muscles,
    Letting go
    Of what I am.

    My jaw
    Unhinges itself,
    Each half
    Ripping my ears
    Off of
    My head,
    Leaving me to
    Rot within
    The hidden abyss
    Of the silence.

    Part III
    All that remains
    Are the shallow
    Waves
    Within my
    Lonely corpse,
    Protecting
    The ice
    Surrounding
    My cryptic Heart.

    I see
    Apples
    Waltzing around
    My grey
    Chest,
    Now pounding
    At my
    Corpse,
    Eating my
    Veins.

    My hands
    Wrap around
    My heart,
    Crying,
    Bellowing
    For me to
    Live through
    Life with a
    Purpose.

    A tear
    Sheds from
    My head,
    Then
    I see my
    Hands
    Attached to
    My body.

    I’ve awakened
    Within the warm
    Embrace of my
    Spirit,
    Where I am
    The prophet
    And my body
    Is my
    Temple.

    Notes: This was the deepest poem I have written. I was feeling extremely suicidal when writing this, which made this poem another to help me cope with my feelings. I pretty much went hardcore with how I was feeling, especially since I did cut myself that day. I was crying when writing this, but I love the end result.
