guys, thanks. I was (and well, still am in a way) kinda scared of freaking everyone out, but for some reason I felt the need to post it. ::shrug:: I figured there'd be a couple people who'd understand, anyway.

heres a poem guitarman

i saw some flowers and i picked up a rose
the next thing i knew it bit off my nose
so i caught it in a jar
then all of a sudden it highjacked my car
then i realized it wasnt a flower
it was an alian with unusual.

LOL I like that one! ^__^ It's been a long time since I've been on the forums since school has been making me busy...

Here's a poem that I had made during the time being; I may visit now and then though. And greenish, your poems are wonderful because they open your heart (especially being contradictory in the self like the last one you posted)... thank you for that :).

My poems suck at the moment, but here's one...


Fear

I sat upon the beach one night
And slowly, closed my eyes
To feel that ardent, silver light
Beneath the starry skies.
And though the air was crisp and clear
It whispered this to me:
"My little child, there be no fear,
So let it part from thee."

"What doth this mean?" I said, confused
That fear does not exist.
That whisper left her breath, infused
Upon the ocean mist.
And looking at the moonlit sea,
The mist had disappeared
And all that left a track was me,
The little child who feared.

I know that whisper in the breeze,
That silent prose above,
Which always kept reminding me
To live my life in love.
And though my sorrow takes each tear
And drips into the sea,
I know in truth, there is no fear,
And that shall set me free.

I recently scribbled this down on a sheet of paper during a medical microbiology lecture:


Looking at the shadows on the wall
of things that are happening behind me
in times past
in corners of my hurting mind
there is a man.
He says to me
"let's go for a drive
let's talk a while."
He doesn't normally make time for me
not at this hour
not on a Tuesday
and so I am so pleased that he does
and we go
and it ends-
and what was so special
became what was feared
became what was painful.
I should know now
not to be too eager
to open my heart;
he took time out for me
to take me out
to take me out of his life.

For me,
mainly cause I don't like poems. And my poems wouldn't be good at all anyway in greek. Lol let alone in english they wouldn't make sense.

But I prefer something that actually makes sense and I understand rather than talking in riddles, whether they are beautiful or not...

For others, cause there aren't any other guys lefT!!!! LOLOL

You guys are such amazing writers. I've read all, and they are truly expressions coming from the heart and soul of those who have written them.
I'm very impressed, but yeah I expected to be lol.

ok soo I'm posting one, just because..........

Going through a passing phase
In a crazy age
If only life could be simple

Grasping at hopeless things
Trying on new skins
Wanting to fit in every circle

Deciphered dreams
run into reality
Nothing is really certain

Playing hide and seek
trying to be meek
turning inside out
hoping to find me

In the midst of it all
comes a call
vision is found
truth shines true
Purpose is found in you.

Once filled with the richest music,
I stand forgotten and still
In a quiet room, dark and calm,
Where no footsteps still echo

Some might just call me furniture,
A trophy, a prop, a toy.
I long for one to care for me
but most of all to play me.

I remember the subtle warmth
of fingers, flying o'er my keys.
I recall being grand and proud,
All iv'ry and varnished wood.

Once polished, brilliant, revered
I stand alone and shrouded
With a pale and dusty sheet
As one who has breathed his last.

Talia- that flows well, and I like the words you used. That probably sounds like a dumb compliment- but it's true. I like it a lot.

Greenish- girl, we should choose some future date to exchange addresses and send each other our "anthologies" You're so sweet to like my work, but honestly I love your poetry.

Nospam (ya know, I like the new name, but for some reason I just wanna call you by your state- but "Georgia" would be so informal)
I love it- at first as a reader you're trying to identify and think of the persona as a human, but then you find the description to get a bit odd (they call her furniture... okay...) and finally you find that she wants to be played teehee, and you're fairly certain that being "filled with music" was a bit more than some fanciful description of a person- but you've already tricked us into identifying with this piano.

lol yu'ns can still call me purity or better yet just Kay. I found that my previous handle, _Purity_, attracted a lot of pm spam because it's on the first page on the member list (or at least, that's our hypothesis). So this is just an experiment to see if the spam prob gets better and thus the kinda weird name...

I rarely post poems on here, so I don't know why I'm posting this one. Here goes nothing.

Incapable
Is my heart of stone
Endless excuses
Pile behind me
Reasons why you can’t be real
With those three little words
You ceaselessly haunt me
Until in desperation
My heart cries
“Meaningless!”
And shuts you out
Yet it longs to think
To believe
That just possibly
This could be
Might be
True
But no
My twisted logic
Will ever reign

this poem is kind of the composite of my experiences when close guy friends get girlfriends. I know it sounds kind of bitter, but it's not terribly... just honest.

replaced

you really really like her
so I'm happy for you.
it's all very, very nice.
and I know you mean for things to be the same
but they aren't.
and I doubt she'd like it
if they were.
(what girl wants her boyfriend
over at the house of
talking on the phone to
going to see movies with
another girl?)
so don't worry about me;
enjoy this romance.
I am used to being
replaced.

I also know that feeling well, and am more acquainted with it again being recently unattached...

My latest scribble. Not a poem, just thoughts

trusting, walking in obedience
forgiving and hoping
being vulnerable
....waiting
this is the cost of being free

And this is either a really really short poem or just some more thoughts:

First Love

I hope ten years from now
I will hear your children's names
in passing from a friend of a friend-
you will always be my first love

And this is about my little brother. . . I love him but he worries me


Joey*

It keeps my mind occupied and sometimes that feels like enough
A keyboard beneath my fingers and some blinking lights and sounds
there's a world out there, but since they are okay
with letting me sit isolated in my basement
then I'm okay with locking myself in

hehe... I've been trying my hand at haiku. results are marignal.

finally honest
a relief and yet a loss
time will answer me.

---

desperate to write
good and suitable haiku
I try, but it stinks.



and here's a real poem...

if I could only
capture you with words
praise your many traits
recite what it is about you
that I so dearly love.
but how does one write
of such unfulfilled potential?
such greviously neglected hope
all in you that promises so much more...
I love you now
for what you are; still
I would rejoice so greatly
in what you could be.

actually, that one I just wrote and I'm not sure. I may have to change it some. but the idea's there.

Well- leave it for a while before you change it and give yourself a chance to love it. I actually think it's a very strong poem. I like it a lot!

thanks, jill. I just think maybe the last two lines could be tweaked into something a bit better. they're really the only thing I have an issue with.

I really like that poem, Greenish. Both you and whisper have done it again.

Here's a poem I wrote the other night that I'm not sure if I'll change or not. I don't know if it's worth working on.

I know you don't mean it,
Ignoring me;
Sometimes other things come up,
Blocking me from your view.
I understand
Your intentions are good;
You love me
Of course that's true.
But I would be lying
If I told you
It didn't hurt.

*Edited to add punctuation* Is that better? lol

put a period on the end of it and it's perfect.

ok so here's a lil poem about what happened to me today. You all should be able to see what happened LOL grrrr



Technical Difficulties


Volume knob turned up
Pick in between fingers
A quick strum of steel
But only silence lingers

Frantically searching
For the root, the cause
Frustration taking over
As the music ceases to pause

I ask, “What can it be?”
I sit for a moment
Defeated and conquered
It begins to torment

I sit in the back
Still baffled and perplexed
Let down by my tool
Oh what will happen next?
