Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[White Raven]

In between waking
Sometimes I remember it
September morning

It was about six
And dawn had just broke
It was time to go

For a brief moment
As I was coming about
You were around me

You were always slight
Your body like a yew tree
Thin and flexible

Barely any warmth
But what I did feel was yours
Brief as a sparrow

If there is one thing
I never thought would happen
It was that moment

You know, awareness
It slides over, blending time
Erasing it all

For one breath's passing
We had never left Humboldt
It was still summer

No days, months, or years
No fighting, no pain, no rage
A dog at bedside

I think you felt it
Perhaps not so vividly
But enough to pause

Then, like that sparrow
Just as quickly as you came
You were gone again

And so was I.

[White Raven]

I wish for a house
With a garden of green herbs
That sits near a stream

There are few neighbours
A bear, some crows, a raccoon
But mainly; Quiet

I would cast my runes
Across an old red linen
And listen to wyrd

The eyeless sockets
Of a gallant buck look out
A symbol of time

[amyanderson2001]

Time is coming
Time has arrived
Time has gone

[Bekon]

[The beginning of everything]

Summoning Princess,
still looking at me,
bliss fills my whole world,
when I leave without regret in my heart.
You will stay here for thousands of years.

A warm memory, children's joy,
love for things, not worth much.
One player, so many memories,
in this colorful, full notes body...

Still immortal, my Winamp Classic ...

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

[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

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

[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.

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.

[swingdjted]

Thank you.

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

[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.

[izchan]

Yeah. Its been 12 wonderful years of poetic beauty.

[Jedi Gemstone]

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]

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.

[Jedi Gemstone]
