Not to be cliche
But I find you to be a rose
Others put you on a display
And make you pose
The way others treat you
Makes me sick
When you withdrew
You fell for their trick
Here you are again in your rain
If you weren't a fool
You would abstain
And leave the cruel
I would go help
But you released your thorns
To make me welp
And you are there again despite my warns
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2020
A child begins reading a story
Both have never been betrayed
An eternal bond was made
Yet betrayals are left in their wake
A sacrifice decided, all for its sake
The story continues moving forth
Gambling it's own questionable worth
Seeking a burning flame, a friend
One who will bring the abrupt end
To this garrulous, suffering cage
Even though the Ink rewrites the page
Corrupted by ideas of ****** glory
Which one is its friend?
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
are you Satisfied?
jusT open your eyes
evade All their lies
You will live for The died
accept no moRe shame
to hell with the liar
we will rise Up higher
you will keep your namE
Just a little dumb thing I wrote a long while I back. I know some things sound forced and the meaning is very simple to grasp, but I couldn't help but share the message I left in my poetry notebook.
Nicholas Fonte May 2018
Looking up above to see the sky
A yearning that will never cease
Press start and feel the release
Now watch me jump and fly
To feel the wind blow past my face
Casting a tornado from my spirit
From deep within the pit
The stones I summon shall crash like a mace
Washing over all the past mistakes
The water I create will protect us all
Trees will grow and stand tall
My power will bring leaves for all our sakes
I descend in my creation
Food and warmth is what I desire
So I shall create this fire
To bring joy and defeat isolation
The prey stands there and with a flash
My lightning appears, I succeed in my ****
Alas, I will find no thrill
For the bolts will destroy with each crash
I can lift the strongest rocks
For my strength is endless
If I can't open the door to get out of this mess
My speed shall carry me through all the locks
Bestowed with all this magic
My dreams can all come true
But it is just that-a dream where I can't see you
Now isn't this nostalgic
The word is neat
That I will admit
However, it is time to submit
I will awake in reality and claim my seat
Yay my 100th published poem! This is one of my first poems I ever made and I'm most proud of this one! It's my favorite so I saved it for this time. Hope you enjoy it!
Nicholas Fonte May 2018
Look all around
There is nothing to see
There is no sound
There is not a single smell
What is there to tell
What is there to be
When there is nothing to be found
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
You Won't Hear Me Say This
But yoU Aren't Ready Yet
I wilL neveR See You As One Of Us
Unlike You, I Had To earN This
So Stay Out Of mY Way
And I Will respecT Yours
But Know This...
This is another one of my really old riddle poems. Still, I'd share it though. It's especially easy to find the message this time, too.
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Linger in regret
It will get you nowhere here
Switch to a new you
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?
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 :)
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
They each have a duty
But this girl named Angel is different
She does not ascend
For she has something to amend
To sin was never her intent
Will she ever reclaim that beauty?
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
How much longer, huh?
Will you keep me suppressed?
Away from mystery?
Nicholas Fonte Jul 2019
He once recieved someone's disapproval
He wasn't fit for the cause
He made a terrible mistake
But then someone left
Now he acts to earn others approval
To make up for his flaws
When really he just wants to make
His own self stay
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!
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
The Sweet Crimson Jam
Present in each living soul
There in love and death
Nicholas Fonte Jun 2018
I went the long way home
Lined with their blood in snow
And in the fall I know
I have the right to be alone
And they took me back to the dome
And they took off the blind
And then they tried
Oh hell they tried
You can tear me apart
Crack my bones
But you still wont find
A heart
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
To light the fuse
Is to amuse your delight
In the fight for abuse
But you use what is not right
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Why does everything ache?
All I feel is searing pain
It's driving me insane
Keeping me awake
In this world that is tougher
Within this dark
I curse this mark
That makes me suffer
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
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
An endocrine and digestive disease
That has filled my life with needles
A skin disease that has a long name
Reveals my blood and bone causing more pain
A damaged ankle for years
Preventing me from running away
The health in a decline
Causing so many nights of throwing up
I am forever unsure
But I can say that I am a failure
I never had a chance
As I laid in the hospital trance
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
You wish to
Drip and Drop
Then to Splish and Splash
But when you get there
It is nothing but
Zip and Zap
When they all enter
The room
And Lub and Dub
Appear out of nowhere
And we hear
Nothing but
Swish and Splat
And we embrace
Every star
That was once
So far
And you have found
A brand new
Drip and Drop
For with no scream
You Splished and Splashed
Your last
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Many don't realize
When it is time to apologize
They want to push their point
Way past that finish line
And will continue to decline
The rest of the competition
But we still continue to let them sprint
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Mother
Father
Brother
And then we have
Sister?
It would sound weird
If it was "sisther"
But why separate her?
She did nothing
To deserve this hate
Blood has made them
The Same
But she has her
Own Name
And I'll tell you
Now
That's not lame
This is a minor note here but I wrote this poem in two different ways. I liked the vertical version the most between the two which is what you see here, but the other version kept a lot of the lines together like lines 1-3 were all one line and lines 6-7 were also one line. The words are the same, but I thought I'd note it here.
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
Close your eyes
Don't acknowledge their gaze
Let sit the lies
In the middle of this haze

You wonder why it isn't meant to be
Why it isn't standing in sight
I wonder why it is you can't see
In the eternal light

Open your eyes
Don't acknowledge their gaze
Let sit the lies
In the middle of this haze

Why do you continue to cower
Are you blind
Only you have the power
To break their bind

Open you eyes
Hold them with your gaze
Let sit the lies
In the middle of this haze

They try to hide
With their own line
There is no side
Call it mine

Open you eyes
Hold them with your gaze
There will always be lies
In the middle of this haze

Everything gets blurry
In this room filled with air
You need to hurry
Out of this despair

Open your eyes
Hold them with your gaze
There will always be lies
With your desires entangled by the haze
Really, I just want to make a side comment here on how it sounded in my head while I wrote this. To me, it kind of sounds like a song. I just read it like that, and if you can, I would like you to try and read it like that too.
Nicholas Fonte Aug 2018
Look at everything I've done
There is no forgiving this
Even still, all I did was run
I ran from it all
I'm gone
I departed to a new place
Where no one could know
This dreaded face
I spent my time on the train
Afraid

Time has come to Fall
The color red was all around
Each leaf is a memory hiding
Things that shouldn't be found

The wait comes to an end
Where I will take
The first step
Towards a new life
And right away
"Welcome to our town!"
"There's no need to frown!"
"Come on, let's be friends!"
Rushed by all the villagers
"Hey, I'll show you around."
The young miss
Said to me.
So then she went off, guiding me.
This was the next step
In this life

No
Is this forgiveness?
The world has given me a
Second chance
This is a new life
A new Me
I'll turn over a new leaf
I can make the change

Past, present, future
Past doesn't matter
And we live in the present
Fighting for our future

"Hey, miss,
Let's strive forward in this town...
Together."
This is now my town
Our town
Something far greater
Than even destiny.
Ha ha an interesting take on this game. Wish I put more references in to there but hey, I love how it came out.
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
They can talk
About that luxury trip
They may know money
But do they know the price
Of sacrifice?
For I am near the tip
Of seeing myself dead
And no one can see
How I walk
With no need to shed
Any tears
For I have no coin
So let sink my fears
As I may not join
Both a cruise of no strife
And this expensive life
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
The few who rely
On this use it not to fly
But in order to defy
For they are the abused
And the misused
Sometimes the unproved
Because they think they are in the right
They will continue to fight
For so many nights
And they come together
To stand amidst the frightful weather
In their sufferable adventure
Nicholas Fonte May 2018
I'm exactly what you need
But your freedom
Tears down the kingdom
Now that's guaranteed
So come now and take the seed
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!
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Don't think me like the others
It's not present in my will
To have it all be tranquil
I wait patiently for my turn
For everything to burn
For it is in the fight
I truly am alight
For what I need
Is for them to bleed
So don't confuse my calm
Or get ready to meet my palm
That isn't like the others
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
What did you mean?
That they are all just dreams?
But not everything is as it seems.
Do you know what I mean?
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
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
We have already defined
That his life is unaligned
Where all his fears and tears
Will create all the gears
To turn together the rest of his years
Filled with right and wrong,
Weak and strong, light and dark
Where we seek to embark
In the tomorrow with unavoidable sorrow
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
We don't comprehend the end
We don't understand why we stand
We don't fulfill what we need to fill
We do radiate on our date
Nicholas Fonte May 2019
A child who's eyes shone bright
Entered an unwanted fight
A friend who has lost his way
Watches as his life fades away
The two who both were mistaken
Have had their innocence taken

A teen who's eyes shone dark
Is ready to finally embark
A grave who has lost his role
Watches over the teen's soul
The two who met with calamity
Have held on to their amity
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Let our final moments be told
As everything begins to unfold
We stand and make amends
As everything around us ends
This is where we let go of our names
As everything is engulfed in flames
The seconds where we learn to care
As everything remains in despair
We all begin to repent
As everything leads to this moment
Where we lose all hope
As everything hangs on a rope
When it all crumbles on this fight
As everything is burned alight
In our final moments that night
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!
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Blissful and wistful
Fleeting hearts poured in a cup
Where her lips greet mine
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Watching over the holy land
Let see the flames
Where up above
Is the endless starry sky
Where there are so many names
That we can finally understand
What it is to love
Underneath a cloth's new day
Where we can't run away
In the face
Of this glorious place
Where we do nothing but try
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
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
I have overworked my soul
It has taken its toll
I fear I will never rest
Because I never achieved my best
Because there was no chance
Before the white dance
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
It's just a dream...
It's just a dream!
It can't be a nightmare
For my waking life is the scare
For no one has a care
As I flow along this furious stream
So please just let this be a dream!
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
Nicholas Fonte May 2018
There was no such thing
Of a chance of surviving
The world's blazing hope
Nicholas Fonte May 2020
Should I be helping people?
Everyone is happy when I do but
Looking at their smiles makes me
Feel happy, the only time I feel happy.
I started to help many people
So that only I can be happy.
Helping people like this, is it selfish?
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
Look at what they do
Look at what they say
Everything you hear
Is exactly what you fear
And you can never run away
For that is inevitable taboo
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
A fear builds in me
For all I can see is you
But I am too blind
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
You would not expect
A person to inspect
The apple of a stranger
would be a danger
Despite my kindness
My eyes possess darkness
My stiff arms continue to reach
To offer the fruit you thought to be a leach
Nicholas Fonte Mar 2018
What if I told you
I was going to **** myself?
Would you think it true
Or leave it on the shelf?
You always say you care
But what did you mean?
You are never there
When I start to lean
To begin my collapse
Without your stabilizing kindess
While she saps
Away my happiness
Nicholas Fonte May 2018
Once its in motion
I can't escape it's grip
Human Emotion
A quivering lip
Falling tears
Drenched in anxiety
Swallowed by fears
There is no variety
In this plan
Fogged in a cloud
Set by man
Nothing else makes them more proud
Nicholas Fonte Apr 2018
It all comes down
The tall empty tower
Like the cold shower
Of each drop
That falls on top
Of her crown
