 A Darkforum Community Poem
Paper hearts and perfumed letters
Thrown into the flame,
Memories will haunt you
And still you feel the same.
There's nothing you can do now
To ever bring it back,
Can't say I never warned you
Can't say my heart is black.
A photograph lost in time
Never to be retrieved again
Although, no matter how hard you try
There is always something missing
An empty hole
A dark void
Can't say you saw it coming
Can't say you cared
As I see the flash of light
my heart trembles with fright
He kisses me,
his lips soft to mine like rose petals
He whispers in my ear,
his breath kisses my face like the gentle wind.
His touch refreshing as silk on my bare skin
I've dreampt of you once, a long time past
your reflection was ingraved upon my heart
visitor to memory, a vivid picture in my mind
now a reality, everlasting through time.

Three Wishes
A genie came to me and said
Three wishes you may make,
The trouble was I could not think
But the chance I had to take.
Firstly love between all people
Second meet everyone's needs,
Last of all let there be bad in the world
To contrast life's roses with weeds.
Anyone in my position
Would have thought it insane,
To waste a wish on something that
Could cause so many such pain.
The genie would grant my wishes
If these things I would do,
Love all, and be generous
But always be honest and true.
The first has characteristics
In common with each desire,
But honesty was a value
That set my mind on fire.
I told the genie I'd try my best
For it was all that I could do,
But the genie replied "That isn't enough"
And left me in the blue.

We are Machines
Time passes
On a conveyor belt
The human assembly line
Rises and falls like the tide
Newborn anatomy
Stainless steel
Evolution of a new breed.
Cold, hard, and polluted
The drones are empty
Working, working, working
Slowly short-circuit.
The feeble brain undone
By stress and boredom
Apathy and desensitization
This is the new world;
This is the future
Closed eyes, shackled minds,
Neglected souls.

Personality
Edited, torn up, vulnerable,
Doublecrossed on a one way street.
In a network of bloody consequen,ce
Watching, as the wires melt inside.
Maintain the distance, watch it grow,
All things questioned, explored.
Fade away, replaced, overrated,
Intricately inadequate all the same.
The game pieces are all in play,
As this twisted charade explodes.
Defragmented and multilateral,
Another case of introverted cyronics.
