    So yea. I'm a creative writing major. I've been writing a lot of poetry lately, some good, some bad. I figure I'll open a thread to post it and ask other ponies for their opinions.
    It's all un-pony related and some of it is sad, some of it is odd. So here are two.

    Eyes Lies

    Little feet tread lightly
    On big ground
    Careful not to fall
    Into the sky
    I lost my eyes
    Attempting to read
    The words written on your face

    Good couples hold hand
    Like bad dreams haunt children
    I'd prefer to stay in my own body
    Tonight, darling
    But I would like
    To ask your question
    Can you see the words?

    I drown in your dreams
    While you float calmly in mine
    Where did the clouds go?
    They comforted my sockets
    Your brain glued to mine
    Mine eyes in your hand
    Watching your words erased.


    Itching

    My brain itches
    With the anticipation
    Of the interruption
    Caused by the overflow
    Of information
    That I'm fed from
    My paranoia onset
    By your lies
    Which I'm fed like drugs

    I'm my own drug dealer
    My own mind stealer
    And if my dramatism
    Steals my mind from you
    Then baby call me a dramatist
    Writing a play about a masochist
    Who cuts himself
    With your words

    I can't control my legs baby
    And I think that I just maybe
    Let them walk out from
    Beneath me and
    Leave behind my body
    Which inhibits the qualities
    Of an empty shell
    That gazes
    Into a void

    So shine some light in my eyes
    Honey, to see if I'm still there
    Because I know that you still care
    And even if my selfish
    Brain is afraid of your alluring kiss
    I settle in my head with the thought
    That I've loved you before I knew
    You
    Because the only time I don't love
    Someone I don't even know
    Is the day I stop dealing myself
    The drug on the elemental table
    Represented by the letter 'O'

    My brain itches
    With the anticipation
    Of information
    That I'm fed from
    My drug dealer
    Who is rich from
    Selling your lies

    Tell me what you think.

    I think those are pretty good, I really liked some of imagery you used.
    Like the last two lines of 'Eyes Lies'.

    I want to apply ointment to your brain so you can keep writing!
