What is pain?
What is a
Friend?
Does having one
Mean the other
Has to end
 
I was honest
And open just
Being me and
Found a man
That seemed to
Understand, accept me
For me and
Allow me to
Be free.
 
Jealousy and words
By another that
Were lies, caused
Us to part
Broke my heart
And I fell
And cried
 
Sometimes it’s hard
To be such
As I,
For people still
Judge, they hate
But his broken
Trust
Crushed me deep
Inside
 
I try to ignore,
The barbs and
The sting
Of words that
Do lie,
But doubt and
Misgiving can never
Belie
 
I choose my
Gender, my sex
My life,
But did not
Realize the world
 Full of strife
My face, my
Voice, my body
Declare.
That I am
A woman so
Treat me with
Care.
 
But when I
Lost him the
Pain is oh
So bad, but
His words of
Endearment now makes
Me sad.
 
I only seek
To be allowed
To be me
To be happy,
To love and
Be the creature
That is me
 
But some only
See, their own
Ideals and others
Fall to lies
And speals
So finally I
Know truly in
 My mind, it’s
Just plain easier
To be with
Those of my
Own kind!

kind of ... rhymes
Dear Lilith, I'm curious did you follow some rules of writing or just let yourself go and wrote your soul (if humans have one that is).
I know where the pain comes from and its hard to find consolation in strangers but ironically you can open yourself more to the people that you dont know and will probably never meet...heh.

on the other side of things I kill my humanity, bit by bit, trample it with sordid feet.

my poetry is how I choose to write it.I like rhyming.No rules for me,just feelings.

Hmm, I used to write poetry. Mainly for a creative writing class in college. It was a fun time. My prof likened me to the likes of William Blake. I've gotten away from poetry and focus on short stories at the moment. I still find poetry to be a good means to developing writing skills, learning words, and overcoming writers block. Have you ever tried to write a poem with all the words starting with the same letter?

Just pick a letter out of the alphabet and make a poem. It can be tricky to make it not sound like gibberish.

When my girlfriend left many years back I spent a summer writing break up poems which was kind of pathetic.  If I throw together a poem now, I try to make it about more concrete things besides emotions.  I think the last one I wrote was about different pieces of clothing.  I called it attire.

Sometimes love
is happy,
Sometimes love
is sad

Sometimes love
is joyous,
Sometimes love
is mad

Sometimes love
is giving,
Sometimes love
is take

Sometimes loves
the right thing,
Sometimes loves
just a mistake

Sometimes love
is oh so
sweet,
Sometimes love
is not really
shown

Sometimes with
love the best
thing,
is just knowing
when to let
go!

[Dark Lilith]

She walks in the
shadows,
face hidden from
the light,

Her spirit and soul,
seek out the
night

A spectre, a wisp, a
shadow on the
wall,
yet I know what
she does,
she answers the
call

Beauty and mind'
mixed in a
vessel
overflowing its bounds,
her life it does
wrestle

Shadows and darkness
feed her inner
self,
the fog and it's
secrets,perpetuate
her wealth

She glides thru
the half-light
in search of
her prey,

Take me with
you oh phantom,
or at least,
stop and play!

Faces that cross
My mind,
Faces that pass
The day and
The time.

Faces of lovers
That came and
Went,

Faces of those
Alive,
And faces of
Those heaven sent.

All the faces
In a large
Crowd,
All the angry
Faces screaming out
Loud.

Faces of evil
Of cruelty so
Unjust,
Faces of the
Sexually yearning, crying
Out in their
Lust

Faces that begin
My day,
Faces that make
It end the
Same way.

Faces that I’ve
Come to love,
Sent to me
As if a
Gift from high
Above.

Faces of friends,
That fill me
With glee
Faces that I
Show too special
People, so that
They can see
The real me.

Faces here and
Faces there,
Faces of love
For those that
Care.

What are those
Faces?
Those that seek
Me out to
Find.
That all the
Faces are but
Chapters, etched into
My mind.

[Dark Lilith]

What is space?
What is time?
Are they just
Relics for a
Lonely mind?
 
What is life?
What is death?
Look deep into
Your soul and
Then take a
Guess.
 
What is a
Smile, without a
Tear?
What am I?
Without holding you
Near?
 
What is courage?
Without having tasted
Defeat?
What is love?
Without two hearts
That share a
Beat?
 
What is truth?
What is a
Lie?
What is loneliness?
When your lover
Says goodbye?
 
What is love?
Without its sister
Lust?
How do you
Separate the two?
 And if you do,
do you become
unjust?

What are manners?
What is uncouth?
Will you search?
Yourself and see
The truth?
Have you taken
The journey to
Find the real
You?
Or do you
Slink away content
In not becoming
Someone new?
 
Will you seek?
Or will you
Back away, afraid
To face the
Words I say?

Amazing stuff Ms. Lilith!

thank you kind sir!

[Dark Lilith]

why am I
me?
why can I
not be truly
free?

Do you not
see me for
what I truly
am?
why do you
call me adversary
and not a
friend?

Do I perplex
you?
Do I make
you afraid?
Does my sexuality
cause you disdain?

Can you not
see me as
a person and
not a toy?

Can you not
accept me as
a gurl who
that changed from
a boy?

Am I not
what your heart
does desire?
Will mom and
dad say you
need to aspire?

Would loving me
be to much
a trial?
would loving me
be too much
a denial?

Can I not
be the woman
I am?
Or is acceptance
of me the
same as just
being a friend?

Does loving me
take precedence over
all?
Or does society
dictate it all?

Am I good
enough,to be
what you seek?

Does conscience and
 acceptance leave you
all that weak?

Am I a
woman to you,
to love and
be true?
Or am I
a fixture to
accent the false
you?

Am I not
worthy of a
love that runs
deep and true?
Can I be
more than an
object for the
sexual you?

Am I not
worthy of love
and true bliss?
Or do I
portray a Mister
for you or
 a Miss?

Am I not
feeling?
Am I not
Flesh?
Or am I
just a tryst
leaving people to
guess?

Shall I be
quiet?
Be a backdrop
or your  whor*e

Or am I
as a woman
worth ,oh so
much more?

Accept me for
me,
Or quietly move
on.
For one such
as me,deserves
better than mere
spawn!
