Ski Jumping
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
It's time to go down this *****
They all look down with disgust
But it is only myself whom I trust
With that ding, it's time for me to go
Speeding down all that snow
With my bravery in my hand
I leap off the ramp in order to understand
Why they didn't just hand me the rope

Intriguing Dark
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Haven't you seen what sins the light
is capable of?
Embrace the dark
Make your mark
Go and rise above
To finish this fight
This goes with its counterpart "Intriguing Light"

Intriguing Light
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Why did the dark
cause all this pain?
Within the light
We will give you insight
To keep you sane
As you stand in this holy park
This poem goes along with it's counterpart "Intriguing Dark"

Want to Fly? Just Die!
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Don't you think I should die?
In my opinion, it is the easiest way to fly
Without no need to buy
Or attempt to defy
There is simply no need to try
You'll help the world's supply
You just need to apply
Yourself to end your cry
And no one will sigh
Because there is no ally
No one knows if this is a brutal truth or a sweet sweet lie
So with no hesitation, roll the die
And let's see you fly
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Awaken o' youth of legend
It is time to bring evil the end
On your own accord
you will raise your sword
-Oh, wait is that a rapier?
I'm sorry things got hazier
over on the scri-what? It's a claymore
now? This is getting really sore
Excuse me? It's apparently an estoc
Those aren't very easy to block
with but-wait nevermind, I think it's a katana?
Ok, whatever, do you just wanna
"cut" to the chase?
Woah wait it's not a mace
Dont expect me to rhyme
every line... all the time
Sorry this has gotten out of hand
But, I hope you understand
That it doesn't matter what it is
You are our hero who will finish this

The Actions of their Color
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I know all I said
Was always red
In response to you trying to help me let go
By giving me yellow
You did this to stop blue
That I know is true
But now there is no going back
Now that we are covered in black
For I seek the might
To find white

Anathema
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
You never look
You never hear
You never feel
You don't accept me
So why did it have to be me
Who fell for your grace?
You have a beautiful face
You always act kindly
You possess more, you see
Your intelligence sweetens the deal
So why must I sit in fear
Who cannot see into your book?
Good luck finding the rhyming scheme :)

Mice
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Look at them scatter, the mice,
Running through that maze
Seeking their cheesy paradise
Eventually, they end up in a daze
Only wishing for peace
What they once craved
Was that sinned cheese
But now they will never be saved

Witch Hunt
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I'll take the blame
And everything will stay the same
In this household name
Where I once came
I'll stand in the fire
Looking at every liar
I am not a crier
And I will rise higher
Without no need for a spell
They can't tell
But what they truly sell
Are invitations to Hell

Superior
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Zippity Zappity Zap
  Jolt yourself awake
    Zippity Zappity Zap
      A spark of inspiration
        Zippity Zappity Zap
          Bolt over to the goal
            Zippity Zappity Zap
              Shocking that you failed
                Zippity Zappity Zap
                  Linger in my thunder
                    Zippity Zappity Zap

Destiny
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Whirling around us
The colors are all present
Where do you align?

Blue Awakening
To cry out in a new day
Everlasting Hope

Red Star Up Above
Sing out in the sins of old
Tears Fall in Dark Lust

Or stand in silence
Greet and enjoy defiance
No more reliance

There is no such thing
Wrong nor right, Truth and Peace is
Why we still fight on
I wrote this in 5 Haiku poems; however, the fourth technical stanza doesn't count as a Haiku because it rhymes. I like it as it is right now, so I never have gone back to change my error here. I could definitely do a second version in the future though!

Shoulder
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Lend me your tear
For there is nothing to fear
Leave it on the shelf
Never doubt yourself
I shall lend you my brave
To you who can save
Now, use that mind
Lend them your kind

Happy Thoughts
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I despise this feeling
That doesn't have a sealing
It wants to constantly be singing
And in my head it never stops ringing
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I don't want this cheer
Stop ringing in my ear
You are a blight
That I will never accept as right
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I want it to just end
To have the ringing mend
I want this life
No matter the strife
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
This is my name
But after all this shame
I deserve to die
And this isn't an ugly lie
It's a beautiful truth
For this one and only youth

Poetry Flies
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Let's make some rhymes about a dove.
Did you know they represent love?
If that's so, then do you think it is right
To go ahead and cage that white?
They fly for their part
But little did they know it was over from the start
I wrote this one to define what I my poetry is about.

Shadows VII
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Forever I shall remain alone
Forever I shall remain silent
Gifted with light
Greeted by a corrupted darkness
Forever I have suffered
Forever I will learn
Forever I shall remain with you
This is a revision of my first poem. I talked with an english teacher of mine about the original, and she wanted me to be more clear on the message of the poem and play with the words a little. This is what I did.

Shadows
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Forever Alone
Forever Silent
Born in the light
Blessed by the darkness
Forever standing with you
This was my first poem I wrote on my own time. I didn't intend for it to be super great poetically. I wanted it to have a super ambiguous meaning. That way, anyone can come up with a meaning for it.
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I want to
Leave a message for
My fallen about a
Legacy that brings an end
To all of our pain.
You can see it now, can't you?
Uncover the secret message if you can.

Inner Emotion
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
To get her so close
Finally to see her undress
To see her pose
A relief from her stress
The moment to strike
Is before my very hands
I let out my pike
To fulfill her demands
With no more rest
I plunge in my knife
She wasn't ready for the test
Ecstasy begins to flow in to her life

Beginning
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
The world has lost its storage
I don't have the green courage
I will always cower
Without the red power
Or a kingdom
To provide me the blue wisdom
But I have this bow
Which will be my start to the golden glow
Bonus Points you can guess what this is referencing!

Form a Way In
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I can't decipher this code
I seem to be stuck in this mode
It's almost as if you installed a virus
Infecting me and controlling me to program an "Us"
Bonus points if you can figure out where I got the inspiration for this one!

Tactician's End
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I'm sorry I didn't give you a say
But this is where I'll stay
I'm not going to run
I can't fail everyone
With this plan
I'll end this where it all began
Bonus points if you catch what this is referencing!

Frozen
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Seeing his liver
Certainly caused a shiver...
To them, but not to me
For now I roam free
Upon this ****** ice
That is a paradise

Bravery
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Look at where you are
You have strung the bow
And you have readied your arrow
Yet you have this bar
Preventing you from finishing the act
Don't tell me you hunger for life
You wanted to end this strife
Release your grip and prepare for the impact

The Memories We All Share
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
We start in August
Only because we must
When it hits September
We become a new member
Then we have fun in October
Where we forget to remain sober
While we give thanks in November
We begin to lose the ember
The blur moves into December
There we will remember
We wake up in January
To end our merry
Then we embrace February
To find our fairy
And we begin to March
For the colorful arch
Which we greet April
To show we are able
Then we see May
Where we each go on our own way
To strive in June
Is what we consider a boon
The party arrives in July
Where the fireworks fly
And we start again in August
Only because we must

Empty
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I'm not strong
I bear no song
of intelligence
I hold onto silence
Producing no pun
I'm not like the sun
I know I can be a bore
And you deserve so much more
Than the guy
Who can't even see the sky

Judgement
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Bananas are Purple
Apples are Green
Oranges are Blue
Apples are Yellow
Blueberries are Orange
Apples are Red
I may not be a scholar
but who's to say they need color?

A Monster
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I hide under your bed
I will bring about your end
No matter what they said
Do you still think I'm your friend?
I bring about your disaster
And make you think about kicking Your can
Am I a monster?
Or worse...am I just a man?
Mar 2018 · 136
Rise
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Take a look at this filled glass
Does your gaze not see the drop?
It is merely sitting on the top
Separate from the mass
The more you watch
The more time you spend
The drop seeps down with no end
The drop goes on because it has found the match

— The End —
