I write a lot of poetry. Mostly about nature and feelings. Heres one of mine. Its calked Entity.
One snowflake,
No two are alike,
One person,
Perhaps not alive,
Two twins,
Not exactly the same,
Two paintings,
With equal fame.
One feather,
Not as light as the air,
One heart,
Knows not what is fair,
Two eyes,
One gold one blue,
A bark and a laugh,
Both from you.
One abandoned house,
So unlike yours,
One oak floor,
Leads to two different doors,
A pair of wings,
But no bird shall fly,
One small smile,
Hidden in this line.
L.B.E.
I just write ehatever comes to mind and sounds nice.

Here is a poem I wrote a few years ago, not very magickal but it is still one of my favorites:
The Story of One
One waited.
Whispered secrets that only One cared about,
to shouting distances nobody cared to travel.
Walking through the depths of longing,
One journeys alone. Smelling
the burning rubber of a tire,
crisp, clear, creating corners
for One's breath to be held in.
The smoke from the tires bleeds into the air.
When One asked him for a ride
he shut his Pearl Gates, newly opened,
and drove off.
So One waits near the brimstone palace,
where fiery screams echo
to beats nobody hears.
One wants to throw her baggage roughly down,
but tends to the embers of her fears.
The Grim Reaper should have shown it's jagged face,
that only the eternally damned can see.
One abides as the brimstone beckons soley to this place,
that only freedom cannot see.
Feathers fall... Black... against the sky.
One is crowned in them.
Finally the cowl is lifted
and in it she see's that
those damned
Pearly Gates have
opened,
again.

' How Many Times ? ' - By me.
How many times have you faked a
Smile or a laugh?
How many times have you lied
Saying you were fine, when you were really breaking?
How many times have you said
For them to not worry?
How many times have you said
All you needed was a goodnight sleep?
How many times have you lied
To everyone but still hoping they would see through it?
How many times have you told them
Not to worry or that they're paranoid?
How many times have they cared?
One, two, three, maybe thousands.
But how many times have they helped?
One or two? Either because you rejected them
Or because they simply didn't care.
How many times have you hidden
Your arms by using sweaters and
Grip the sleeves hard?
Just to make sure they would go a bit behind
To make sure no one would see
How many times they have failed
And how many times you lied.
But darling, you meant not to lie
But you meant to protect yourself
Because maybe if you said the truth
And they didn't help, you would give up.
Because maybe they would hurt you even more
So you lie and hide.
Because maybe you don't want to be saved
But you need to. But they do not see that.
No, they see what they want to see,
They don't see the ugly broken sad truth, no
They see a beautiful lie
They know everything's okay.
And so you lose. My baby, you lose.
You lose because they do not know
Because you protect yourself
Because you're afraid.
And I do not blame you, for I am afraid too
It's easier to settle down with the misery you're already in
Then to adventure in the dark with the fear
Of everything getting worse.
But what you do not know is,
The dark can be warm and friendly.
Maybe if you go through the dark
You will see the light.
For there is no light without the dark
And no dark without the light.
Because you don't know
But you have to find out.
Now for the most important question,
How many times have you tried?
How many times have you adventured in the dark?
And how many times have you settled down for the misery?
Risk it, because sometimes you absolutely have to.
Don't wait for someone else to save you,
Don't wait for your prince.
Save yourself, my love.
Save yourself.

I'm really glad you liked it! I have many of those haha! Here's another!
DISCLAIMER: This poem is about depression and failing to resist not to hurt yourself. In no way do I support any of this. It's a simple poem of how I felt. Just sharing a piece of my history.
' The Ocean Of My Mind ' by Killian (me).
I'm lost I walk without a destination or purpose
I fight for air but I fail
And slowly I disappear.
I'm swimming in an endless ocean
Every swim is a new pain.
I swim and swim searching for dry land
But dry land sounds like a fairy tale.
All I can feel is pain.
But what is pain? Is it being rejected or humiliated?
Or is it a constant reminder that nothing gets better?
I don't know.. but I keep swimming.. without destination.. lost.
I see land and I feel,
I feel the hope and happiness of finding safe port.
So I swim, I swim hard and hard.
Suddenly the world looks like a good place.
So I swim and swim and when I get there..
There's nothing. I clean the water from my eyes and I see nothing.
What was that? It looked like a ship that was going to rescue me..
But it was nothing but an illusion.. a simple trick of my mind.
I take a deep breath
And the tears start running on my face.
I have no more energy,
So I stop swimming.
I find myself drowning.
With no will to swim,without energy.
I close my eyes and I let the ocean take me, I let it take me to the depths.
I scream for help
But my words disappear on the water.
They turn to meare bubbles that even though they reach the surface,
No one ears or sees them.
And so the ocean takes me
And I, without energy or hope,
I let it take me For I can no longer swim In the ocean of my mind.
