For some reason I felt like this poem might need an explanation or a theme, atleast. So if you'd rather keep it open for interpretation don't read past the
5th stanza. I know a lot of people don't like to know exactly what the writer meant but I don't know, it's hard to explain why I have to explain it lol. If you'd like to know, then scroll down a little bit.



"Mes lèvres sont fermées"

Please wake me before the scarlet flows
After the blue falls from my eyes
You are the secret that must be kept
For now and forever my lips are closed

Truth be told, I've been lying all along
Bless the path that leads me to you
Hair of amber, skin of porcelain
Your hand holds the map to my freedom

I can trace your life on the thorned rose
Wilting away and falling apart
I need you as you need me
So let our journeys cross

Your eyes are frigid like silver
And your blood drips ruby-red
The verity of all you know
Tells me we'll be fine

Nothing else will matter
Everything will disappear
For now and forever
My lips are closed











It's basically about a boy whose girlfriend dies but he is still in love with. So the secret he's keeping is that he's in love with a corpse.



"Hours"

Our nights slowy turn to dust
Our memories begin to rust
Our summer withers into a single day
Our rose wilts and becomes grey

You're standing farther away than usual
Is this type of pain too casual?
You've sliced the scissors through my life
And pierced me with a jagged knife

One year has gone by
I haven't seen you
Although I try
I'll never be with you

Comparing old and new lives
Tell me everything that's different
Did you change your hair or your eyes?
Is what you said what you meant?

You've destroyed all we've spoken
Shattered, shifted and left broken
Waiting for anything that falls
While I'm blocked behind thick walls

This is what you wanted, or so it seems
Am I in your thoughts, in your dreams?
Think of me every second, minute and all the hours
What we had will always be ours

~Diego D.


"Something"

I knew something was wrong
Something had happened
Something had changed
Something was up

I could see it in her eclipsed eyes
The sad reality reflected in her tears
Her skin was as pale as the moon
Her lips quivered like a freezing child

My ears waited for her mouth to open
When it did, I heard only her voice, no words
The sound was a tragic melody of pain
She sang the truth, to my ears' dismay

I stood there, frozen in my reaction
My eyes seemed glued in place
I felt her cold hand touch mine
And that cold spread throughout my dead corpse

I was dead, I knew I had died
Because I couldn't live without her
I stayed on the street corner, with my stubborn feet stuck in the sidewalk
I kept replaying her song in my head

As she walked away, she appeared to be staying in the same spot
But eventually she disappeared
The clouds began to yell and threw white gold in the air
And at the same exact moment, the sky and I began to cry

Something was up
Something had changed
Something had happened
I knew something was wrong

~Diego

I was trying to find a part that I like the best, so I could quote it, but the whole thing is amazing. I love the idea, and the description and metaphors you use. I have nothing bad to say about it at all... It's amazing. Do you have anymore?

Thanks Apryl. So, when I post a new poem on my only thread, will it come up under Literary Arts as me having something new?

No problem. Okay, and I found my favorite.

That's all so amazing. And I feel like I can relate to it, so I like it even more.

That new one is really good too.
What it does, is bring your thread to the top, most recently posted in thread in the literary arts section. That happens everytime someone posts in a thread.
