As cars, delayed Whine by Frustrations conveyed, Time flies. As traffic holds, It's hard to tell Whether everything stops, Or time stops as well.
The time limit on life has expired Heaven or Hell, to one I will ascend Equally good, equally bad Now my judgement comes And though I see the truth Never fading, nor Dying Now I return to times past Overplayed in my mind, Would that I ret…
Seeing my aged grandmother, Age still; Smiling at me Kindly Seeing her loop conversations Till I smile back at her wryly It breaks me to see this now; She seemed so strong, endless wit And here she is, forgetful Now And she doesn't remembe…
A life gone by, A life gone past, And I'm sick of asking why, it went so fast A love that failed, followed by divorce, the bleak future it hailed, Brought on by uncanny force Down in the gutter, Confidence in the drink, Voice barely a stu…
Where did all the dream-weavers go, a void where they once were, remains. Wherever they went, we must know to quench the thirst of our minds' hungry plains. What do they do? these dream-weaving folk I did ask you as drew in night's velvet…
A silver eye, far away keeps me hoping for the advent of day I slowly wade through the smooth waters still wondering at the moonlight As it ripples around my slowly soaked feet, I feel cold as I realise the truth That the moonlight on …
Golden rays, breaking through, A canopy of trees, hiding me and you We watch as the sun rises higher in the sky, We watch the clouds pass idly by I feel the warmth of the sun's gaze, Trickling, like water, into my daze I woke up to find …
From my mind, myriad dreams, Pouring away, Leaving my goals left, And there, they shall stay.
Bright enough lights will illuminate even the darkest of places. Love is that light, and the places are our life. Without love, a life has no spiritual meaning, and a soul remains left, in the dark.
When you have something very important to say to someone of equal importance, and you can't find the words, it should be noted that through actions, a greater sense of feeling will be conveyed.
Lost, unhappy, the odd one out, Silent, foreboding, Full of doubt. Writer's block, is a writer's bane, Not able to write, Equivalent to pain. Trying to think, Some whizkid idea, Mind sinking, Uninspiring here.
If you aren't a father, or a man, BE ONE! The benefits are great xD
If presented with a challenge you feel you cannot face; keep your senses closed, but your mind open.
@Seamonster The option to repost should be 'Repuss'. It fits in more xD
Now I'm sure that I aint alone on this one, but ice cream tastes GREAT in winter.
Je voudrai Du Soleil Parce que j'aime la vie, Avec toi, Mon Cherie C'est compliqué D'expliqué Mais j'adore toi Avec tout de moi. (not the best french methinks)
Red, majestic, valiant and bold. Orange, fuzzy, warm, not cold. Yellow, striking, shining bright. Green, embracing, natural, right. Blue, piercing, royal, deep. Indigo, enigmatic, mesmerising, of to speak. Violet, shimmering, spiralli…
Now I'm not ususlly one for writing gory poetry, but I must stress, if you are easily disturbed by this sort of thing, please don't read on, as this is something that has ACTUALLY happened to me, when I was younger. Not an age rating but a …
Roses are red My name is Matt I can't do poetry, Imagine that!
I can't believe I'm actually writing a song. A SONG. Wow, this'll be fun. Thanks very much @Delilah for offering your musical skills to help me :P
Woken up by the sound of Opuss this morning. Thanks @sassa and @crowncottage :P
If you need any homework help visit @HomeworkHelper, a new account created to help opussians with a mind block. Tee hee.
I recently wrote the lyrics to a song, and am thinking of trying to make it into an actual one (different parts and everything). However, I'm awful at sightreading ( can only really read bass clef lol) and may need some help. If you help m…
I've decided to write a few lyrics for a song :O "In Our Minds" - By Me The day slowly closes to a fall, I am lost but I don't care about it at all When I'm found you will be there by me 'cause with you life's a mystery CHORUS In our min…

Tooth and nail, Snarl and hiss, The beast won't ever fail No prey that it'll miss. Prowling, carefully, making no sound, An eerie silence woefully, drawing fear, from all around. The cloak of darkness, Surrounded the prey, Who, oblivious;…
Little fragile piece of the world, Landing all around, Making all white, like a white rose unfurled, Coming to rest on the ground Although the cold is frightful, Although the winds do blow The white stuff is delightful! Because nothing bea…
Front: *Opuss-esque picture here* This is Opuss. Back: Your argument is invalid.
Front: Jesus could walk on water. Chuck Norris could swim through land.... Back: But Opuss outshined all of them, with superb writing on hand!
Front: Shakespeare wrote famous plays... Back: And Seamonster wrote Opuss!
Front: Opuss - Like cats? Like this. Back: For the purrfectionists
Roaring, majestic, A deep persimmon, amber plume Shoots into the night; Ashes fall Whilst the wild beast Hisses and spits, fuel Crackling as it eviscerates The ground Leaving burnt Deserted landscapes, crisp and Dead Yet alive within t…
Rain, falling, making skies cry, The only thing I'd wish to miss, Before I ever die. Europe has too much of you, Africa has so little, Oh rain, oh rain, oh the shame, For causing so much pain. I can think, without a doubt, Of at least thr…
I like to make Haikus And I believe the order of syllables Is five, seven, then five
True perfection is achieved through trial and error. A person who makes no mistakes, isn't perfect at all - they have nothing to learn from.
The clouds rumbled, As his boat held firm. The skies crumbled, Into grey, ever so stern. Like the sea stallions themselves, The boat surfed the peaks, Of the waves, large and horrifying, of which no man speaks. The sailor could taste, The…
We may not be able to fly, be geniuses or drag camels through the eye of any needle - but we sure as hell can try
Whatever you hope to find in life, depends entirely on what you are looking for. As one door closes, another opens; The cage is opened, and the bird flies out, leaving behind not a shred of doubt.
A lone rose, on a windowsill, A picturesque scene, like an artist's still; My siblings, cousins, their dog and I, Ran wildly through Summer, so dry. Whilst Parent and Uncle and Aunt stood near, We traversed through woods till we reached a …
What is the plural of an Opuss? Opusses souns weird, and Opussiae? Don't even get me started on that.... So what could it be? Opiae? Opae? Opi? Lol, that sounds like Opiates xD. Could it be like sheep? Could the plural of an opuss be op…
Fake, fake! Is that what you are? Monstrous, treacherous, Breaking hearts from afar You, you! Deserve no second chance Disastrous, destructive, Killing things with your glance Be damned, be damned! Stealer, of life unfurled Parasitic, loa…
@Opuss Make a website that is like the app! That way people won't have to spend so long tapping out the awesome poetry and stories!
I always feel happy when people like my Opusses. It's like they're approving a piece of the world; My world.
I propose a toast to you: May you be all, That I never was, Ever wanting to be. May you have all, The ideas, the dreams, That I could never see May you know all, That I knew not, Oh wise new friend, Of mine. May you have virtue, courage…
When souls depart, Remaining in heart, Transcending to skies above, Above the skies we see And revere, The very peak of our universe is here. Bringing peace like the dove, and war like Mars, Time flows, And the circle of life never slow…
@Jatt fake opuss accounts? That's really lame.
Fresh from the wrapper, A world so sweet, and clear, You wouldn't know it. That was us, our past, Gone, as the wind blows away sand, Like grains in Time's hourglass, we fly, pouring Endlessly, endlessly Yet in all of Time's existence, We …
Braver than brave, Prouder than proud, Bastions of reason On unfamiliar ground A desert of lies, Clouds the sunrise That is hope, All of Life's scope Camaraderie binds us, Death survives us, A team, doomed, Flowers, having bloomed, Losin…
Flowing, like a river, Time goes by so fast Swirling like a stream Life seems to be but a dream Raging like a torrent, we fear, from our hearts, Forcing like a current, Our world wrenched apart.

Happiness is a cup of coffee and a really good Opuss
If we are given the right to live....why is it so many of us die before our time?
Hidden in ice, earth and flame, The clock strikes the midnight hour, Signalling the way, to a place without name, A place without sin nor power. Terrifying spires tower above, The world, forever staring, In a place without love, Fires glar…
With hearts eager, in the golden haze, Heated passion, and endless days We find eachother, amongst the collage, our lives similarly, like a colourful montage Midas light, shining on us, soulmates, Like feathers on love's wind we float, a…
What's the definition of a Will? (It's a dead giveaway)
With much integrity, we drive on, all fear has left, practically gone The will to succeed, and camaderie, all else, we do not need; just flattery With the end in sight, We charge with all our might To the limit, the edge, the boundary, O…
To wonder, to know, to see, to show. Little defines us as what we are, or who guides us, with strings from afar. But the man who thinks, knows. For everything is, As is made by his mind, thus, anything goes.
Oh melancholy, endless tears, fall from your moulded face Oh the folly, I could not help as I removed them from you, without trace Oh grief, for my sake stop, it saddens me beyond belief To see your courage flow, ever so slow, and low I…
There was once a girl I didn't know, Oxymoronica wasn't her name Happy yet sad, tall yet short, Simply complex in life's game. Ignorant, but attentive, different, yet all the same.
'Twas a gloomy night, with the moon full bright, That the stranger, came to the inn door. His horse was a'frenzied, snorting and whining, and pounding on the cobbled floor. The stranger brought his hand to the knocker, and with thunder c…
Wow...Biology IGCSE. That was easy. XD
You, the sky, the earth and the sea, all come together, to stand with me Bracing ourselves, we face the storm, and as time flies by, we become less forlorn Aging, and weaker, we stand here still, to make sure the world follows, Chasing th…
I dream of a world, with a thousand suns, With a sky coloured persimmon, A place, simply for fun. I dream of a world, with fields of silken grass, Of clouds, made of diamonds, Or flowers, made of glass I dream of a world, where hope grows…
Beats thumping, swirling, and mixing in my mind Keeping my Adrenaline pumping, courage not far behind Taking in the surreal, deafening silence, The cold air I feel, In this city full of violence. The blur of cars I could never afford, Ra…

To fly. To soar To glide, way up high Never reaching the floor Anchors of worry behind me, Paper planes of hope up ahead Chained to the sky, yet flying free The weight of woe taken instead If I could grow wings, hold the stars in my hand,…
Behind a mask of happiness You strut; Creating the "ideal" person: A "living" picture. The supposed pinnacle of elegance, and perfection. But you are no more than a picture; A shell, a mere shadow, vying from the light A distinct memory,…
Hurray! Opuss has 20k users! Maybe release it on android and as an official website? *hint hint*
Changed my profile pic again! (third time this month)
Rejoice and sing! For tonight we bring, A festival of cheer and fun Eat and drink, there's no time to think, For of course there's much fun to be done The preachers may preach, and the leachers may leach, But they cannot stop our parade …
Lol lots of people seem to be madly liking my poem Horizon's edge tonight. Wonder what set that off!
Arguing with you is like flailing around No end to the frustrations that always sound Sniping yet empty vulgar language to spout Your loudness but a whisper, Your deafness a SHOUT
Imagine a day , dedicated to life How it comes, and goes, and often ends with strife Imagine a day, dedicated to mind Exploring the geniuses and the great fools of kind Imagine a day, dedicated to wisdom and trust The faith placed in us, …
When hearts skip a beat When eyes lock; As the wind blows, unaware , they continue to stare Forgetting to blink, No time even to think Standing, either side; This is the time, When two worlds collide.

I had a look at a few publisher's sites yesterday (including JK Rowling's label, Bloomsbury :O). I really want to get a book published but I have barely anywhere to start. I think I need an agent, and that agent contacts all the publishe…
I am very excited to tell the 11 of you that follow me that I may soon start writing a book (as soon as I finish my GCSEs), with the hope of getting it published, and released to the public! This has always been a personal dream of mine, bu…
So what is the ranking system based off anyway? I don't understand it.... :S
At the dusk we shall meet; The light that fades, begins to deplete The stars that glare, as they open their eyes To scare away the timid sunrise The moon that grins Erasing our sins At the dawn we shall part; Separate as two, but togethe…
Even if the result is not what you expected, if you walk your path believing in each step at a time, that is a path that will lead somewhere. That is something I believe.
Gotta keep my feet on solid ground Gotta make sure I don't mess around. Gotta get my mind set, get rid of all the sh*t Gotta have one goal, gotta train, gotta get fit. Gotta succeed, gotta win 'cos if I don't, why bother tryin'?
Once, I visited a small village in Africa, that was battling against disease and hunger, with my Father, a doctor. But even though they had so much to fear, they all smiled and laughed, and even took part in native festivities. Being you…

Angle. Focus. Too much shadow. Too much light. A rag-tag family stands before you, trying to smile. "Say Cheese!". Lens widens into focus. Click. Shutter closes, sealing a memory.
Life is like a good book; A new chapter provides a new lease, and turning each page gives rise to a new adventure.

Surreal sounds Break my silence Returning me To reality In my mind I try To be perfect "It'll go well" I think. I think. But never act The pressure To be accepted Suffocates me Into submission Till I do nothing, Nothing at all And rema…
Lying here, lying back; Feet in air, staring at the ceiling. I feel raw, jagged, imperfect. The stares; Full of pity. Pity, yet kindness, shown only by A mother's love. Oh how I wish, for the barriers between us to break; Oh how I wish , …
If things don't go right...then think outside the box! Go left!
Karma's a bitch, but I'm friends with her sister.

Poetry is like a musical; Words upon a page, that Maybe an Actor would see, and reenact upon a stage. Trying hard to follow script, with words like notes; each have their own sound to play, Mixing and becoming as one; Harmony. Then th…

I am lost at sea; between you and me. You and me; As in us and We. We as in What we wished to be, when living life as ourselves and we. To dream of being free.
