    Well it's not secret I'm a rare member about here but I've developed a lot over time as a person and so has my writing also so I think I may start a thread here posting some of my poetry/lyrics (Not my best though, I'm paranoid of copyright and theft).

    Unrequited love is a recurring theme (due to my muse) but I'm always determined to go out my comfort zone sometimes. I can be morbid a lot and sometimes political.
    I also shove my sexuality down ones throat also in a lot work, I embrace my gay culture and love wizard of oz metaphorical pieces.
    Some love poems are gender neutral so forget my gender in those.
    Also I'm British, that can come across in some works.

    So for my first post I'll just post a few pieces for people to read and critique if you want!
    I hate criticism so give me LOADS of it, there is nothing better than harsh words. (Honest, not walls of it but the nice-critique-nice sandwich is helpful)

    All right enough waffle talk here's the proper stuff:
    Here's another...
    Finally a recent one:
    Ok that's it for now I was nervous about looking back on old material but i felt it was crucial to show a development in writing format. I'll show the works I have more pride in the future x

    Here are some more pieces.
    This one is set in that post-WWII Gay Speak-easy Warhol drug and fun scene but crumbling apart:

    This started quite more about a personal rant then mutated into a story of a poor prostitute:

    I had another late night session of writing.

    I wrote about being a hooker, I'm sure it's very inaccurate:
    Here's another 5am thing. It's about the idea of like countries going to war because a mans masculinity was insulted (specifically his manhood; back in the primate days I presume this would have been reason enough for war and still is in a sense because a leaders masculinity is key for some reason)

    Hey..
    Well first of all I want to say I really like your poems.
    They are all written really well,and have a real sense of felling in them.
    So far my fav would have to be....The Wall of Past Mistakes,as reading it nearly made me cry.
    Keep up the good work :D

    Ok! Here's some more stuff I've been gradually working towards...
    Basically it's that feeling of losing out on a big chance.

    I agree. I think you have a great future in writing.

    If not a hobby, it will be your career.

    Keep writing!

    Aww thank you that is very kind. I've been on a period of not writing at the moment; I'm just preoccupied with other matters but I have something to post...(Luckily I have a number of old writings kept about)

    More apologies for any readers who haven't seen any updates. I got caught up in a certain kind of internet life on other forums leading into other...delightful politics (One of these poems is inspires by this)

    As an apology...5 New poems =]

    Ok this is basically a trans-alteration (I translated then changed words to fit the beat/feel more poetic than literal) I took at the Japanese opening song for Sailor Moon
    A poem for a friend whom I see miles of potential in:
    The idea of forbidden love; I'm using the idea oh humans and angels in love but it's meant to represent any two different people falling in love beyond control:
    I was reading a book I got bored of and found a chapter with some interesting literary features and had fun twisting them about; the books name is the poem title
    Bitter feelings to people I befriended on another forum, almost like real-life relationship almost:
