here i am again. after being lost for all that time.

find someone isaac? i'd love to, but i don't know how.

in any case, here's something that came out of a very bad night with a friend of mind. she did something i didn't/don't approve of, and i cried after a friend came in and asked if anything was wrong. here's my thought on lasting friendship.

If ever I should weep

If ever I should weep at love astray,
or find that underneath your smiling face
was caught a fading heart lost in the fray
of love's doomed passage through this darkened place
then seek out all the reckless hope I lost
whilst I did tarry on this clouded path,
and keep it close at hand when time has cost
you all that ever kept you from your wrath.
For naught else can I do in such a snare
that I did not forsee appearing here
but send my love and hope that you would care
to save my heart if I should shed a tear.
If ever I should find you feeling lost,
take comfort in the bridges we have crossed.

[Fickle]

I went a little weird on this one, but I still like it. it resonates of something I don't quite know.

<SPLASH!> and my body hits the cold water
the last words resonate as the cold seeps in.
"Bye Sucker!"
Light fades and darkness swirls around me
A fish steamrolls by and I try to watch it
"Bye Sucker!"
Who do they think they are?
They can't control me.
I am not a pawn of their little game.
God helps those who help themselves
And I am not Helping.
Really cold now,
Light escapes my eyes.
I try to yell.
Cold water fills my mouth and
"BYE SUCKER!"
My brain goes AWOL.
I struggle.
I fiddle.
I shake.
"Bye sucker." they said and I remember
The Cold water
And the new shoes made of concrete.
One last try at a scream fails me
God helps those who help themselves.
It's too late for me.
Darkness swirls around me.
"Bye Sucker."

[Dynamik]

There is power in the existence beyond the visible observable realm around us in which we live in,
Though we are still, and powerlessless to what lives around us,
everything we do as a whole, as mankind,
creates the direct impact we experience in our everyday lives and overlook as if it were a depressing feeling.

The end is coming, but only because were bringing it!

[QHOBBES]

Just in time for Vetrans day...

The War On Peace

Archduke Franz Ferdinand shot in the head
4 years, 3 months and 14 days later 37 million dead!
Everyone was in the ground so we were just unaware
Until planes came in and saw all from the air

Oh my god I’m going insane
This is just too much for 10% of my brain
It’s just like the crooked police
I can’t take much more of this War On Peace

Germany blitzkriegs its way onto Poland
America drops the A-bomb on Japan(d)!
$562 billion was the total cost
This time around on 55 million lives lost

Am I the only one losing my mind?
Or am I the only one that’s not blind?
When will all this madness cease
Not as long as we have this War On Peace

Next up is the Cold War
Now my favorite Union isn’t around anymore
The wall came crumbling down
No more sickle and hammer and Soviet is just a common noun

Walk the streets with my sidearm
Just trying to keep them free of harm
Watching out for myself and my niece
All in the name of The War On Peace

Send our young men unprepared into ‘Nam
Such a useless fight, how were we suppose to remain calm?
The one war we could not win
So we just choose to take it on the chin

That’s it, I now officially refuse to think
I’ll take my camo’ and this 40 to drink
Take time off to retire in Greece
I refuse to be involved in this War On Peace

Nixon decides to start up the Drug War
Kids just doing them more and more
Billions of tax dollars snorted up D.E.A.’s nose
And we still be finding ways for our highs and lows

I declare, “I give up!”
One more fight I can’t win, “Yup”
All this hate just needs to decrease
I’ll wave my white flag for The War On Peace

Oxymoron? The War On Terror!
Did the president think or just have an error?
All over two “twins” shot in the head
Only time will tell how many end up dead...

Beautiful eyes cascading over a midsummer night sky,
Heading to a wayward boundary sad, wanting to cry,
Traveling over the lakes and mountains,
Trying to find the girl he lost near a fountain,
Searching behind the rocks and trees,
He lowers to the ground and begs on his knees,
"Please my love come back to me.....,

A soft wisping voice is heard through a clearing,
"My love to thee, please come to me"..
He climbs through the brush only to spot his lovely maiden,
Her hair blowing in the wind, so golden,
They want each other for a long while,
So they throw their clothes in a pile,
And make love by the fountain,
Behind the summerglow crescending over the mountains.

[Athene]

Memories
by Janet James
Memories shared and forgotten,
The moment hopes laid on it
Cowardly goodbyes;
Loss of compassion towards another alike
One who faced everyday looks back
A plain pail forgotten image
Stairs back meaning nothing
Who can strongly be at fault?
The good,
Can’t do anything wrong.
The Angels of the past
The ghosts of reality
In an illusion of peace

Wow athene. I was wondering where you were.

The Future is Yours

By Unknown author, late 23rd century.

The future is yours
It shall not wait
Drifting forever
In a quiet wake
Leaving only a trail
Of its hollowed spell
And then fading
Into the present and past
The future is yours
But not all the time.

[izchan]

Wow, the 2 weeks of my absence and I get works of arts like this on the thread. ... I am so happy that people are still contributing.

Thank you all for the support.

Photo, well ... I finally found the secreat to finding a partner. DON'T TRY TO FIND ONE. when it happends it just happends.

Fickle ... nice little set of words you have there, given that you did loose me the first time I read it.

Dynamik .. ... If memory serves me right, you have posted once before but it has been sometime since then. Keep it coming man ..

Lee, we are getting to see more of your sentimental side, no? .. ..

Athene, one of my favourites ...Is Janet you or am I reading some other talented poets work ... .. either way, I love it.

QHOBBES, forever you live up to your namesake. HOBBES the thinker .. ... yes the reasons for war has always been the wrong one, but eventually, we forget why we fight, and why we should not. As for the war on terror, apparently, the US wants to bring some of that war into my own backyard. Hopefully, he does not just accidently bomb my house, it is the only one I have.

Cameron221, a late 23rd Century work? I must be having too many time traveling novels on my shelf that I don't even question the possibility of it anymore ... ... anyway, I love the way the words are used. Simply marvaelous.

My absence for 2 weeks was due to being bed riden by my sprain back. Was in serious pain, and have more than ever put my perspective under the microscope.

Too much has happend and too many more not done.

Hope to write something new soon.

as for the time being, I hope that more of you will start to contribute again.

Enjoy your weekends people.

[izchan]

This sounds a bit off as if I am drunk. But it is a poem after a long period of resting. My brain is still foggy.

Enjoy.

: A way to love

Sometimes when I move away
I feel your eyes on me
leaving a mark on my back
hoping that I will be
safe and sound
to return to you
never leaving again

I can only tell you this
like the lyrics on the song
I will love you forever
and forever is not too long
I will return to your side
no fear of that being a lie
because of you therefor I am I

Like no promise made before
I pledge my soul to you
hold me preciously in your heart
as I do the same for you

[QHOBBES]

izchan, i got my handle from Calvin and Hobbes (or Qualvin and Hobbes
and I do believe the creator of Calvin and Hobbes named Hobbes after
the thinker Hobbes)

I Don’t Care

A stab in the head, a knife in the back
Now I feel like jack
I’m just trying to leave this place
Where everyone has the same face

I remember the good and the bad
And all the punks and chicks that made me mad
But most importantly I’ll never forget
That time I took my very first hit

Of weed, oh yeah it was heaven
I believe I was just eleven
Now my friends and I are just drunks
But we like to think we’re punks

Like we have made it to the big time
But we don’t care as long as we make a dime
Bag, is what I put on my head
Whenever I think I’m dead

Tired, of waiting for you
I’ve been waiting and you’re slower than glue
Give me a reason that you’re late
But I don’t care, cause I’ll never have this first date

I wonder if I’m better off without me
When I’m gone, how’s it gonna be
And the only card we need is the ace of spades
Cause this just another one of my masquerades

[QHOBBES]

Hot Home Arizona

We’re the last one to become a state
Founded on V-day, February 14th was the date
So what if Arizona smells
At least we don’t get our water from wells

Jake Plummer you have the arm of a girl
No OFFENSE ladies, his spiral makes me want to hurl
It’s time to bid fare well
Pack your bags and leave Mr. Bidwill

Sheriff Joe is just a fat, lazy cow
Toughest sheriff in the country, wow! *sigh*
Everyone seems to hate him
What dumb asses are electing the guy? Certainly not Slim!

We couldn’t legalize pot if our lives depended on it
3 or 4 propositions, pass or fail, we’re still treated like shit
Oh yeah, Mr. Simington, you can suck my fat cock
Robbed the elders and left them to live under a rock

A billion dollars in debt
At least terrorism is not a threat
Too poor even to rob
Janet you better get us out of this, it’s your fucking job

We got the worst education
And we’re the 7th dumbest in the nation
Allwhitetukee seems like it’s own persona
But nothing will ever replace good ol’ Arizona

i still have writer's block....but i managed to produce this poem..

Time to Say Goodbye by Lee

When times were tough,
And our lives were rough,
I knew there was something I had to do,
To separate myself from you.

Life was crazy after we met,
It still is even as I slept,
Left without a doubt, a bedroom of lies,
I know you told me, and I cried.

Should've known you didn't care in the first place,
Teased me at the club like candy and lace,
A most prized possession that you seem to partake,
Soon after blowing out the flaming heart within like a bday cake.

You tore away my heart the minute I set foot into your home,
Piece by piece degraded over time I stayed there,
And you being the selfish girl, didn't really care,
As I watched myself become your property.

I've changed now, you wouldn't recognize me anymore,
A person with a changed heart, with the hole you tore,
Not that you knew me back then,
But now I remember in the end.

Remember what happened between us,
What you did to me was unjust,
When I say this don't cry,
Forgive me.....
But it's time I said goodbye.

[Magic_Midget]

and this one...

Look to the Sky by Lee

Look to the sky,
To the stars above,
Seeing the person I love,
A love that will never die.

You're the star,
Always burning bright,
Keeping my hopes alight,
Eventhough you're so far.

I'll always will keep wishing for you,
Also with my lucky charm too,
To share the love together,
I'll keep looking at the sky
............forever.....

[Magic_Midget]

Something that I came up with...what do ya think?

My Last Stand by Lee


We have come a long way,
Ever since I met you that night.
Side by side together,
That our ring will say forever...

By the dawn of the sun,
Our lives haft turned gray,
We fight, bicker, everyday,
And it is misery instead of fun.

I'm tired of it all,
I must remain strong,
Honey, even though this is wrong,
I must make my stand,

..I hope you can understand...

[izchan]

QHobbes my friend, I did guess that you took the name from the comic. But the amount of thought that you put into your words reminds me of the the thinker himself. Your work is as always thougt provoking.

Lee, well ... what can I say, you are grown? ... ... good for you.

As for me.

Today ...


: Another day

Just another day
like yesterday and the day before
I woke up feeling sorry
for all the things not done
Seldom do I know
what is and what not in life
but fear is the worst thing
that drowns a man's delight

Seeing all those that was night
is now day and bright
why not my soul
which is in demise

My heart aches for release
for all the sins I know
the pictures in my mind
do not let me forget
only a solemn prayer
to that is forsaken
my worst nightmare
a knife in my heart
the final nail into my coffin

Something is bothering me within my deepest thougts.
I have done something that I am not proud of, and it haunts my soul.
To some others it might not be important, but to me it is everything.
The very foundation in which I stand on.
Just have to let myself fall, so that when I read bottom, I can stand again.

Or else .... only time can tell.
