Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[Jedi Gemstone]

Got a little e-mail saying there had been a new post Glad you're still writing Izzy! I rarely write these days, so busy with that annoying thing, claiming itself to be a 'life' XD

[izchan]

Jedi,

Yeah, I have one of those as well.
It keeps whispering to me about grandeurs and the super bonus of eternal life.
Very distracting.

[Jedi Gemstone]

Izzy, since this place will not be here forever, I am going to miss this thread. I have made a little facebook group, perhaps you'd like to join us and continue sharing your wonderful words?

You can find the link in the General Discussion thread

This thread may not win any awards, but it was always a nice place to put some rambling thoughts.

It's going to be a sad day when it disappears into the black hole of digital history. We always had fun here and I hope we all keep on writing.

[Jedi Gemstone]

Oh my gosh Toasty!

Hope life has been treating you well

Linky link to the facebook group if you both fancy joining us; https://www.facebook.com/groups/257066117784672/

It started as a little post so that I could share.
It grew into something bigger than what I would have dreamt.

Will try to be part of the bigger group if I can push myself away from work long enough.
Thanks for all the good times.

Wow I had never quite realised this thread was started in 2001.... this thread is 12 years old! Thats insane! I wish there was some way we could save it all and make a little space for the wonderful poems of everyone over the years....

[izchan]

Yeah. Its been 12 wonderful years of poetic beauty.

[izchan]

It might be the last of my posted poems here.
But what the heck here it is.

We will go on ...
I am but a drop
in the big pool of talents
I am nothing
if not for your support
Thank you for the encouragement
the poems that speaks and dance
Thanks for all the tears
that sheds away the pain
So here is to the simple
the unheard
the forgotten
We are few but we will not go away
We are poets

Thank you everyone.

[swingdjted]

Thank you.

It looks like we get a lot more time here than we thought.

a poem about love , sorry if bad english
If you love someone just because of pity, misery will come later
Because we love to dream.
Because the love we seek. And because of love, we are to survive
Love can not be measured with money.
If love can be bought, you will only have a sexy body only.
Love is supposed to mature, instead of dropping.
If you often dropped, it is not love, but only a mere EGO.

[izchan]

Its been a year since the end of our postings.
We thought all was lost.
But apparently now.

So here is me saying hello and good night.

:: Bold ::
I am lost
and I am found
making way for the blind to see
I have sinned
and I have sacrificed
praying that all is as it should be
We have fallen
and we have stood
seeking the very essence of truth
I am old
and I am young
for life begins again when we depart

I know not where my words come from, only that it flows out as if it has a life of its own.
Thank you for all that still visits this thread.

Hello friends,
Its been so long that I have almost forgotten that I could write poems.
So here is one for the road.

:: Lazy Friday Afternoon Thoughts ::
As a critic, we see the glass half empty
Like a thermometer that is only good for winter
In a palace full of glitters
Singing poems of yester years
Station after stations of yearnings
A satire glooms over the world
Even migthy tigers cannot deny
Measuring its own slow passing

[White Raven]

I hold the last timber of Theseus
Its surface smooth and worn
Miles have passed beneath this wood
O'er yawning depths has it borne

Warped with age it has become
Now thin and soft with the sea
But is it the actual final piece
Of the vessel, or is it of me?

The ship still stands in the harbour
Its name freshly painted off the bow
A testament to the miles I have come
Across the horizon, the here, and the now

Every man changes with the tide
The rise and fall of the moon
Even the stars will move from their sets
And for me, the winds come soon

Whatever the look or the shape of us now
The carvings adorning our oars
There is something inside that remains who we are
However strange the shores

[Dark_Blue]

Nice thread. Inspiring and emotional. And so poetic. It made me missed those time I can also write one.
