Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[murmeli]

Ok... I think I'm going to play with this... Although it has been a while since I wrote anything...


I'm sitting in my bed
all alone
just thinking of you
and what could have been

I don't know what you're doing
I don't know if care anymore
Or did I ever care

Still I hope that
you'd be holding me
telling
it doesn't matter
telling
you missed me too



Ok. It's a bit crappy but I just made it up... and now I started to feel blue...
I want my honey here!

[izchan]

Thanks coop for your ever so insightful thoughts of our daily working life. We are the same kind of animals, no?

as for Murmeli, welcome to our little world of poetry in the forums, your words are simple and tells it story well, so don't knock yourself about it.

Just keep on writing, and you will find your own pattern.

Here is something that I just cooked up too ...

: I Fell

Has it been so long
since my last kiss on your lips
my last chance to hold you thight
the last ounce of happiness

Have it been in vain
for me to diddle all my time
in making you my center
revolving around in your universe

There is nothing I want more
than to feel your presence again
kicking my left leg when you sleep
and clutching my arm when you are afraid

I wished I could have done it differently
yet I know that I would not have
because ultimately it all comes down to
your love for me has fade

Good bye my angel
even as you leave me now
deep down inside I know
my love for you had made me fall

[izchan]

And yet another depressing poem to post.

: To survive again

And yet another day has passed
and I am twice as tired than yesterday
my breathing has come to a slow pace
blood circulation cutted from the brain

The sky has gone into shade
no light emiting from that grey skies
rain drops the size of nuts
drenching my 10 dollar tie

I though kissing the rain will do me good
I hoped that it might wash away my sighs
dreaming that sky water can save me
from me drowning from emotions inside

I wished I could start again
and avoid all those stupid mistakes
that had gotten me here
where life is slowly sucked away from me

How I wish all this will change
so that I can survive
and sail away into the horizon
seeking a new begining
with a differnt morning light

hopefully I will break out from this depression soon.

I wrote this on another thread, but thought that it will also be good to let you guys sample it ...

: The confusing factor

What is this obession about age
does a old man make a better lover?
or does a young girl a better doll?
Why is it so important to get the number right?
does tha single digit makes me stupid?
and the tripple digit makes you god?

It is all inside
what we are as a person
and what we do as a man
what has anything else to do with it
why even confuse ourselves with the questions

Maybe it is just the old telling the young
that if you grow older your will understand
we confuse ourselves that age makes a man wiser
even though the braincells starts dying by 20

give me one good reason
why I should love a woman 12 years younger
and not one that is 4 years older?
is the age ever a factor in life?
does it make a difference?

Just ask yourself one simple question
do you or do you not love the other
if the answer is positive
then go and live a life
if not go out and find one

The answers are in the things we share
and not the things we say we missed
just tell those that are there
what you feel inside
because you won't know
when the sun sets down
will they be a tommorow to cry for

Go on now and live some
don't ask the all these strange questions
and blunder through these journeys
just tell yourself one thing
it is better to have love and lost
than never to have loved before

so is this the secreat to love? ... to me it is ... what do you think?

i was reading the LPSIII thread, and suddenly the fisrt couple lines of this came into my head, and i wrote them down, and the rest just sprang naturally from it... That doesn't happen to me much, so i thought i'd share it with you.

I'm not sure if it has a meaning, because i wasn't searching for one, just writing a thought. If it has a meaning to me, it's burried somewhere in my subconsious. Anyway...

PEACE

I write of peace,
but peace finds me not
amid the swirling ever-
changing pool of life.

If only time would
freeze these wrinkles
and lock unmoving
the tumultuous sea.

Then perhaps i could
examine the twists and
turns, and find the truth
laying hidden there untarnished.

But not so is time,
and truths lie there
giving hints of what may
or may not be.

And so I write of peace.

hope you all find something for yourself there.

[coop_cahoot]

just dreamy

just a dreamy thought i had one day

title: Pretty

... for my friend Carlo

what a beautiful soul
fluttering from petal to petal
smelling and touching
the gentle breeze against his flight
keeps him afloat and still
hovering and looking ahead

[PhotoFx]

ok, i'll throw another one in i wrote this a while back, but didn't want to flood you all with everyhting i've written.

FRIENDS


You hit me, and say you didn't mean it.
Laugh at me, say it's in fun.
Try and be my friend, and take me apart.

I feel each blow, each cut,
no anesthesia for this one,
all the pain's out in the open.
Find all the sinews holding me together,
cut them one by one, trying to find what's wrong,
you say.
Deeper and deeper, finding my bones,
my marrow, wondering if there's a soul
hiding at my core.
I could tell you that you won't find it that way,
but it's not worth it,
you smashed my voice long ago.

Some dark spot, some cancer,
throbbing in my heart;
Black and twisted,
gradually devouring me,
inside out.
Found what you were looking for, huh.
There's your proof, staring,
lauging at you, daring you
to kill, destroy, remove it.

Yet you hope still...
You're not going to find it that way, are you.

Crying, you leave my side,
it's too much to bear, isn't it.
The truth hurts when you look to hard.
Slowly, I heal, hands reach
connect the sepparated parts,
put me back together.
And you come back for another round.

You're not going to find it that way.

You're looking in the wrong spot.

So you cut deeper,
maybe this vein, this organ,
holds my soul.
'Cause you know how to fix souls, don't you.
Tie them back together,
a little glue, a little stiching,
a little kiss.
And you'll have saved me.

But you're not going to find it that way.
You're looking in the wrong spot.

Maybe you don't even know what you're looking for.

I've seen what you're looking for,
Other's have found it before you,
but they looked in me for it.
You'll have to look harder than that,
you're the one who misplaced it.

But you don't even know what you're looking for.

Given up, huh.
tied me back up, stiched me back together.
maybe you think you fixed the problem,
maybe you think you cleaned me up.

You can't see the blood leaking down the table,
you stopped looking for it long ago.
After all, I'm numb, isn't that right.

If it wern't for the hands,
No one could order the pieces of me,
no one could search the four corners
for my heart, my mind, my sorrow.
It's not worth the effort, is it.

So you think you found what you were looking for?
Came back to congratulate me?
congratulate yourself.
what you found will wither soon enough.
After all, you took it from me.

My soul isn't wired to my arteries.
it isn't flowing through my veins.

Want to find my soul?
Want to make it better?
Want to find me?
Want to be my friend?
Well,
Keep lauging,
Keep hitting,
Keep smiling at me, appologizing, not meaning it.

You're not going to find me looking like that.


Look in a mirror sometime...

yah, so i was bitter... and it was about the same person i love now, so... love is a funny thing, eh?

[PhotoFx]

oops, izchan, didn't see your post. But i think i'll just leave it there, i don't want to cross post if you'll forgive me.

[xarajodie]

Fog

Fog
thick and irridescent
blurring my vision
as I stumble into my bed
and tangled in clothes and blankets
and tears
I stare vacantly at the plastered ceiling
white and bland
the color of my expression
and the thoughts race through my head
trying to beat each other to my consciousness
attacking my brain
with monotony
of yellow-white thoughts
causing yellow-white expressions
to yellow-white ceilings
and yellow-white smiles
and the ambiguity finally
brings my eyes to droop
and I sleep the restless sleep
of one who is eternally restless.

[PhotoFx]

welcome nice to have you on board

[izchan]

And welcome XaraJodie ... thanks you for coming on to Winamp Forum and thanks for giving is the honour of your first post.

It is a strong emotional poem <FOG> I am having a hard time comprehending it, but yet it has such a strong feel to it, like a poem struggling to define itself, a sense of lost or misled directions ...

Did I get it wrong? was I even close?

PhotoFx, no issue, your poem is well rather long .. ... but well written. It is a nice way of writing, like talking to oneself, and narrating the whole story for only one audiance.
Plus you have just written a big portion of my teen life in that poem, for I am the one that bled and no one bothered to look anymore. It made me change, and became a different person by the end of the ordeal but I will like to think a change for the better.

And Coop ... well ... another nice line of thougths from your ever insightfull view of life. ... happy to see you posting more these days.

Here is something that you guys can read ...

: Failing heart

Ever so slow
I see the chances passing me by
leaving a trail of regrets
and those that cannot be difined

Ever so barren
my thoughts on daily life
the incursions upon my soul
by the sea of sincere lies

Ever so sad
to see the broken man
moving from one pain to another
never breaking that cycle

Ever so far
the place that we all yearn
a sanctuary for the walking dead
to be left to die and be forgotten

This is a poem of a lost of faith, of regrets, of betrayal and of a broken heart caused by a meer sentence of 'I don't think this will work anymore, I am sorry'

[Ian the Korean]

I finally found an upside for today! My girlfriend broke up with me because her ex came back a few days ago and she hadn't gotten over him. At least I have some new inspiration even if it is depressing.

Oh yeah I thought the people on this thread might be interested in this contest:Lyric Contest

[izchan]

Inspired from the story of Ian again ...
hope you don't mind Ian.

Note: Emily is a girl that I once had a crush on when I was very young.

: Emily

There are hidden everywhere
these little insights of life
Sometimes it hurts us most
when we least expect it to be so
So she found her love again
the problem was it wasn't me

I am in pain now
thinking about the things that I never did
never told her that she meant so much to me
but because I was so out of touch
I never saw it coming
and it hit me squarely in the face

I might look like I could stand it
and the pain will eventually go away
yet I still hope that I could tell you
how much more I wish I could be
the man that was beside you
and not the one that will never be notice
I hope you find the one that you should have
and not the one that you never did
for your happiness is all that matters
not these tears on my cheeks
I love you emily
good bye to you from me

[Ian the Korean]

Wow, that was a really touching poem. It made me feel a little better.

[izchan]

Your welcomed Ian, it is nice to know my poem helped.
