While I am sure, I stand no chance against any of these excellent poets, I with to toss in my two cents of poetry.
[b]The song of death's love.[/b]
Set aside the buried light
Of candle, torch, and rotting wood,
And listen to the turn of night
Caught in your rising blood.
How quiet is the midnight, love,
How warm the winds where ravens fly,
Where all the changing moonlight, love,
Pales in your glowing eye.
How loud your heart is calling, love,
How close the light at your breast,
How hectic are the rivers, love,
Drawn through your dying wrist.
And love, what heat your frail skin hides,
As pure as salt, as sweet as death,
And in the dark, the white moon rides,
The foxfire of your breath.

Knights of death, no longer dying, watch as people die around them. this poem talks of what ever love, or lust a death knight can feel, after their emotions dying with their previous life.

[b]Vows of the wed.[/b]
But you and I, through burning plains,
through darkness of the earth,
affirm the world, its people,
the heavens that gave them birth,
the breath that passes between us,
this new home where we stand,
and all those things made larger by
the vows between woman and man.

that was a poem of wedding vows. (don't ask why I typed this :lol: )
After some thinking,and some searching around my house, and typing italian onto a american keyboard I show a poem I wrote a time ago, I don't know if it qualifies as a poem, but it's really nice. it fits excelent in the language of Italian, (translations to show what it says.)
[b]"L'aria, il mio amore A lei. "[/b]
Amor mio, caro bene
Perché vai lontan da me?
Giurasti un amor, che mai non dovea
Aver fine per noi
Nei momenti di tristezza
Nei momenti di dolor
A te, mia stella, penso
Con infinito ardore
Un legame senza speme
Perché mai dovrei aver?
Che cosa tu vuoi ch'io faccia oramai
Mi devi dire tu
Ti ringrazio, caro bene
Amor mio, vita mia
Al grave doler, al buio timor
Che il cuore mi turbó
Dolcemente, con amore
Hai risposto al mio gridare
Per sempre ognor, per sempre ognor
Qui a me, t'attenderò
[b]"Aria, my love To you."[/b]
My love, dear one
Why do you go so far from me?
You swore a love that should have never
Have an end for us
In times of sadness
In times of pain
I think of you, my star
With infinite ardor
Why must I have
A bond without hope?
What would you have me do now?
You must tell me
I thank you, dear one
My love, my life
To the grave sorrow, to the dark fear
That disturbed my heart
Sweetly, with love
You have answered to my cries
Forever, every day, forever, everyday
I shall wait for you here

it's a song of love, "why a song of love, saladbar?" well I wanted to write a poem of love for someone that I lost... (really in life *sniffs a bit* then I thought, and decided that she'll always be with me in my heart.)
I thank you for reading this all.
