Krunked, please. No personal insults. There's no such thing as a solid definition of a "life" to live by.

Krunked-

Einstein believed that imagination was the key to a successful scientific mind... creativity can be for everyone. I don't see how someone can be a successful engineer without creativity or imagination, and those are the things that poetry is made of. It takes a clever mind to understand the laws of physics, and it takes a clever mind to understand poetry. I personally love science and math... but that doesn't keep me from loving poetry.

Well said, wildsegolily.

Here's another contribution to this thread...

Here

These ill-fitting surroundings
Are reeking of the hopeless stench
That forms a film over his skin
Seeping in,
It taints him to the core
Nervous eyes flitting
Taking in the wretched view
He gazes down and sees the ground
Stain upon stain
Forever imbued in the woven mess
Beneath his feet
But in this low point of his life
He thinks
Anyone can reach Here
And anyone can leave Here.

Gone for a while

krunkedup187, hello there. Nice to see that you have come by and gave some comments. Even though the words you set out might sting. I still welcome constuctive critism. So your opinion that the thread is too long to read? Well.. most of the guys on this thread had been participating for sometime now ... so it does not really seem BIG to them, like me ... i just tend to read the last page as those the newer postings. But once in a while, I will go back to the beginning and read from there. It kinds of becomes like a spritual journey for me. But then again ... ... it is just me.

As for your friends malcom's poem. .. it is funny. I had a nice hearty lough with it. If he will like to post more, please ask him to do so, either via you or using his own nick. We never turn down any contribution.

Wildse ... ... snowlily is nice. I love the way you did it. But the best yet will be <ironies of love> ... it had a true ring in its words. Definsately one of your best.

Lee as always ... gothic to the very end.

sscw46, <here> is true in every word. I feel it strongly. Keep it up.


: gone for a while

It might have some time
before I realize
that I have left this placec
and gone on to another chase

Might not have remembered
if not for the aching heart
of the love I have left behind
building spider webs inside our minds

People might criticize
that we might waste our time
worst yet we are occused of
wasting away our life

Yet after all the heartaches
and crying our silent tears
we all return here eventually
after being gone for a while
getting to know ourselves again
with new found wisdom in our life

hope you enjoy this.

Am sitting in my room and came up with this poem while writing an application prototype for a client.

: The best thing in love

If love was the best thing in life
you will be the best thing in love
for you are the reason
the sun rise in my life
and the seasons change in time
I have nothing to fear again
for because of you I am stronger

They might be times that you may doubt
and you will question my heart for you
but take this and remember it always
because of you I am better
because of you I am whole again

Know that everything else in life
is but a passing wander
to ultimately show me the way
into your heart again

Enjoy.

About a Girl by montana

she walks in her desert
black roses blossomed
birds was quivering
rain was falling from upstairs

she tries to finds peace in the jungle
hollow trees became bigger
flies attacks her daily
heavy burdons make her fall

she swims in her ocean
blue turns into yellow
creatures are fading away
she can't get up

she thinks about her garden
a sacret place
she saw persons intrude it
will her ever see this?

[izchan]

Montana thanks for the contribution, as I and the others have slowed down due to reasons that is beyond our control.

yet as much as I try to, I could not catch what it is that you are trying to convey. could you enligthen me?

Thank you.

here is something for today

: Two of a kind

Not a day goes by
without me wondering why
the reason for us to survive
in these vile place we call our own

Trees are burning down
and seas resides into murky gloom
Metal forest grows everywhere
yet santuary is none to be found

choking in our own work
protections are not around
principles are scarce
with no one to hold it sound

not a day goes by
without me wondering why
who is it that will kill the earth first
the devil we know
or the unknown evil that we live by

inspired by national geographic.

enjoy.

[sadorf]

poems?

heres a poem

check my sig, its the best there is

[izchan]

sadorf, ... yes .. definately one of 'great' talent. Jack be a little nimble next time ... ... i believe the medical expertise today can help out with the little 'accident' with jacks jumping career.

Here is today reflection

: Whats was left behind

Butterflies upon his grave
tell a sad story indeed
died before him time
finished before it began

Laying silently inside his mind
no heat comings from his life
as if it was as it should be
a dead among the living

lifeless eyes look upon my soul
I get the jitters from its cold
where have all the passion gone
from this man I have once known

I say good bye to my friend
even if it gives me pain
as he has chosen his path today
to live his life among the dead

Good bye my friend of ages old
I bode you luck is yours to hold
for I move on now towards tommorow
where my life can begin anew
leaving behind the burdened soul

somehow this poem got out after I came back from a clients place ...
I wonder why?

enjoy.

[izchan]

Too many love songs will do this to a man ...

: My Tower Light

A picture of you stands by my bedside
the last face I see before I go into the night
the first I see when I open my eyes
the one thing that I associate with light

There is no reason for my being like this
some say that I was bewitched by your smile
I would rather like to think it was your soul
that took my breath away when you came into my life

You might not think much when I say the words
but to me it is the ultimate conviction
that I can express with my limited comprehension
the promise is not made to you but to me
for when I said forever
it is forever I commit my soul and mind
and you become my tower light

[izchan]

I wrote this in another thread conerning birthday presents and its diffulty in the whole process.

This was my answer.

: So what do I do?

So what do I do
when its her birthday
should I just give her a kiss?
or my eternal love?

So what do I do
when its our aniversary
I already gave her my life
what else is left to give?

So what do I do
when we celebrate our 70 years together
I already gave her all that I have
what else can I give to keep her forever

So what do I do
when she has finally left for heaven
My soul had flown along with her
I am lost without her voice
I will be lost without her care

So I made promise to myself
that I will love her to last me a thousand lifetimes
as when the time comes for her to leave
I will be able to go on
and I will be able to bath in her memory
for then be content untill my life ends

Hope you enjoy it.

I Wish...

I wish to breath
And still have air
No one to take it
To let me be me
Not conform to their demands

Shadows in the Wind

Pushing forward leaning back
No matter how much is put forth
It is not enough for everyone else
A piece of paper decides your future
And if it is not obtained
A person is destined for failure in society
Trying does not help
No one is willing to help the cause
Working so hard and yet failing
Knowing it is impossible to deal with
The torture of real life anyway
This shadow of not knowing
What to do is caught up
In the nonstop wind of life

[Athene]

Something Better



Trapped within the torture
No were to run or hide
Wanting out but staying in
Deceived by the illusion of love

Waiting patiently and giving
Receiving bruises and scares
Not leaving for fear of being alone
Tricked by love and rejection

Light shining through the darkness
Showing the truth of what had been
Compassion and love found in a simple gift
Giving hope for the future

Forgetting why the torture was let
To be endured for so long
Giving strength to have something true
Now knowing there is something better

[izchan]

Hello anthene. I love your words. Thank you for sharing.

This is in response to Anthenes poems ... ...

: In your eyes

The very thing that makes us happy
are the very one that hurts the most
because we open up our hearts to them
to bruise and to let us soar

People around us
are usually those that wants and needs
they wish to take and seldom to give
and within these times when trouble brews
only love can conquer all

So unconditionally I tend to be
the very person that is me
shinning solely for one reason
and that is to give warmth to all that listens
for I am but one star upon the sky
that will fill up your life
I will forever shine for you
and wait for you to open your eyes
only you can decide
to be happy or to cry

[Montana]

izchan my last poem was about a friend i know, for a while ago she got raped, a week after she got raped, she broke down mentally, and i saw how this girl went from outgoing to befraid of everything.

Hollow by Montana & Måsan (a buddy of mine)
your love become boredom
i didn't mean you to treat you that way
i couldn't see what was troubling you
now i'm asking you for help
she looked at me carefully
i wanted to apologize my behaviour
i can't be with you any more
love can't me understand what's happened
