Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[dt9164]

I wrote this about one of my teachers at the begining of the year.

a crazy blonde lady
tortured student cries for help
bell is only savior

[izchan]

welcome dt9164, nice to hear that your teacher is alive and well ...

Another one for today

: Nervous

I have lost the key
to open up my heart
when I saw her coming
down the boulevard

Nothing more to say
other than good bye
before I can even try
to say my nervous Hi's

There are many people
who might think me small
and I would not blame them
then since I am 6 feet tall

But everytime I see her
my heart is not mine
it wanders off to space
and suffocates in time

so I kept on walking
not thinking of anything
putting one foot ahead of another
never think of stoping
just letting her pass me by
without doing a single thing
only praying that I will see her
down this boulevard again

A pathatic attemp of a poem ... but hey ... the day is still young.

and my evening's contribution... commented by my friend as "one of the most romantic things I've ever read" i hope you all enjoy.

FROST

In the dark of the night,
in the cold of this drifting,
dreamlike midnight hour comes
the thought of you waiting.

I take a couple steps
through the falling snow
and pause, head cocked,
mind elsewhere roaming;

And take another step,
and shed the coat of flakes
that cling quietly on my
shoulders and hat.

A frozen nose and frosted
glases tell me of the minutes
spent waiting in the lamp light,
caught between your eyes and the stars.

And I shuffle my feet,
walk a copule more steps,
look up and see you smiling through
all the steps 'till home.

gues what the weather's like right now

[izchan]

Ah ... winter ... my second most favourite season in a year.

I will like to say that the poem IS one of the most romantic poems that I have read as well ...

Who says that romance can only be found in spring ...

: In the cold night

It is when the night is cold
which I thank the lord again
as I hold you tightly in my arms
gathering the warmth
that seeps through our skins
warming our heart and souls

Even though the fire is in place
and the burning logs crackle
it is your eyes that burns brightly
everytime I need to see the light

Then your kisses takes all the frost away
and replaces it with little tickles
which feels like little sunrays
casting its light upon my skin

So it is during these winter nights
that I thank the lord
for its whitish snow
and chilling winds
While I hold you tightly in my arms
gathering the love
which seeps into our life
warming our heart and soul

Thought it is not as good as Alan's <Frost>, it is something that I feel deeply about. I have always loved winter, second only to spring.

i'm glad i inspired something. my last line gave me a lot of trouble .... akward phrasing. but it worked out in the end, which is, of course, what matters,

-Alan

[izchan]

ah .. sometimes perfection lies within its imperfectness.

Bravo with a work well done, Alan.

Still can't stop myself from reading <frost> again and again.

It is really mermerizing.

[PhotoFx]

thank you for the compliment. It's one of the simpler things i've written... probalby why it's charming, instead of my usual attempts at powerful. if i'm not careful, all you people are going to convince me i'm a good writer.

-Alan

Mystery of unnamed depth
Builds within the self

Infinite beyond
Is the whole of all being-
The self joins the whole

Have anyone notice that wildsegolily is truly an adepth person to inner tranquility. I was going through the page again to see if I missed anyone, and true enough, wildsegolily was missed by my roaming eyes.

All three haikus are trully a work of heart.

Here is something from me

: Cycle of endings

In wisdoms comes the source of tranquil
where in tranquil comes the source of enlightment
then in enlightment comes the source of life
and in life comes the source of wisdom
the cycle continues throughout the ages
which an end is but another begining
a journey that will never end

A simple poem for a simple statement

[izchan]

Sorry for the quiet time, had a severe fever yesterday.

Here is a little something.


: The choices of man

If it was my choice
I would have walked away long ago
yet deep down I knew
that even if I wanted to
I will never have done it

so here I sit
thinking about the pain I suffer
so that I could just see you smile
even thought it did not matter to you

Why do we go through all these pain
what is the motivation for it
is it just our own self torture
that makes me more humane

sometimes I think back
and than I wonder
if I could have made another choice
whould I have done so
yet at the end
nothing really matteres
as you lay now in my arms sleeping
I care not for the world
only your dreams that keep me alive
and that is all it takes
to make a man loose his senses
and make all the dreadful decisions
so that he could think of you
when he falls again
as I fall in love with you again

[izchan]

something that I wrote for another thread, posting it here, so that you guys can read it too ...

: And So I Shall

As rain falls upon the roof tops
of my ever small shelther
the world encourages us to come out
and feel little more
so to live a little more

The place that I call home
small as it might be
it just feels safe for me
to run naked without thought of discrepencies
yet the world beckons on
come out now
come and see
what is so wonderfull to begin with
a new idea
a new begining
come and see now
come and see

so timidly I poke my head out
and tell my self that I will grow up now
listen to new songs
and read new books
and build myself up a little higher
and be a little better
so as the rain drops upon my face
I feel a little more
and so I shall
and so I shall

Enjoy.

[izchan]

Here is something that I conjured up out of thin air ...

: Total domination

Like a goddess you come upon
falling me to my knees
making a fool of myself
I tried to resit
Even now as I slowly decend
into oblivion
into the abyss
your flickering eyes are all that I see
biding me to give up
all that is mine
and subject my eternal soul to you
to be your utterly or none at all
for your love demands it
and so shall my destiny be written
I will be yours for eternity

Hope it does not sound too cocky.

[xarajodie]

Izchan - that last poem was just great. The goddess one . . . it felt so sincere, so simple . . . I loved it

Just thought I would mention that.

[PhotoFx]

isaac, And So I Shall i really liked... it made we want to write something, but my idea wasn't complete enough, so i'm waiting around for it to fill out. And then i'll be back

-A

[izchan]

Thank you Xara and Alan,

Both poems came out of no where, and just poped into my mind. So I wrote it down.

I am happy that you guys enjoy it.

If you think about it, a relationship with anyone requires the giving up part a lot. And it is not just giving up part of our life, but giving it up totally. If in our heart, we still have any part of ME, it will seldom be able to commit to an US. It is totally or nothing at all. Yet the strangest part of that kind of commitment is that when we have given up everything, we suddently gain back the exact thing that we gave out and more. It is this totallity that have given me the freedom to be more than myself.

I hope I did not confuse anybody.

Will post something up later on.

Again thank you for liking what you read.

[xarajodie]

life is this way sometimes
i merely find ways to make it mine
you sleep at night
and breathe each day
you'll find yourself lost in the ways
of the world finding you lonesome and lost
always asking some ridiculous cost
but if you open your heart
and open your mind
you'll find the day will be more than kind.


- poem I randomly wrote in about 30 seconds, has no name, isn't that great, but hey.
