Acts of Love
by Draven
If endear is earned
and is meant to identify
two halves
then it composes
one meaning
which means
a token
a knot
a note
a noting in the head
of how it feels
to have your heart
be the dear one | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 6:24:09 AM | Cyberspace ain’t worth the pain
I can always say am home
Covering all ip addies
Get off the phone
My brother is expecting me
And sister sighs
Mother eternally cries
Father wanders
Let me make it clear
It’s the friend’s moan
Giving me smiles
How’s that for lucidity? | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 5:04:58 PM | drukane, lovely write thank you
always you are welcome here
yes
a token
a beacon
lighting the way
through darkness
kindred affection
chiral affectations
swirling within
and through us
renew us
we plead
a sort of beginning
a circle
of newness
a return to self
through other's eyes
who've heard
our silent cries
helping us to
dry our eyes
just by the simplest thing
an act of reaching out
with no expectations
brings new meaning to
freedom of souls
to soar and fly
making one sigh
happily
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ad thank you
for your lucidity
herein so many times
you are welcome
always
this methinks
you just know
without my even
saying so
kindred is
as kindred does
the mirror never lies
when it reflects
one's soul
i don't need
sweet chocolate candies
anymore place settings
or a new pair of shoes
nor any more books
to overfill my
already overfull shelves
i am blessed truly
by your friendship
you share openly
such a beautiful gift
for me
i am glad we are kindred
such a nice thing to be
with one as beautiful
as you with your mind
and your lovely heart
thank you
for so often helping me
to see
to laugh
to smile
to just be
me
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
bringing this home from late starting dawn
written for c
definitive definition
caring:
touched within the heart
perhaps indeed because of
lack of being touched
elsewhere
yet still
being touched
is to be alive
and that my friend
is never to be taken
lightly
grasp tightly
and hold on
for life is
happening
to you
to me
to he
to she
to us
our tender amazing earth
orb spinning in the sky
graceful are the patterns
as the moon kisses our faces
upturned expectantly
as we await a new dawn
as we play in the sun
with wind tickling our faces
taking away pain
restoring us to self again
nature and universal order
calling out to me and you
each day begins fresh
just exactly as we choose
to address
our reactions
to realities
sometimes harsh yes
undoubtedly
but too
never to be forgotten
ever gracious amongst
lovers
friends
family
we choose
embrace all aspects
and all parts of you
for they prove
you are alive | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 6:14:30 PM | ok. this only 3rd poem since start of month. but had to try:
touching her
infinite delicacy
a sudden longing
for petals arise
softening this night
soundlessly lost
in her
dissolving
velvet smoked
soft edges | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 7:19:55 PM | oh dear aoibheann
what kind words you left
but what a tall order
you state
as simply as
i can put it
i do nothing better
than all others
except be myself
it's the only
way i know
how to be; me
i'm not wonderful
but thank you
for thinking me so
i'm only human
like you
and he
and she
we all bleed
we all need
we all yearn
we all learn
and each of us
has our own
unique voice
and the choice
within how
to use it
it saddens me
to read
this was
the 3rd poem
you've written
since month's
beginning
for it's true
you've touched me
and deeply too
such sweet words
left herein this
my humble thread
began so long ago
as a place for all
to bleed
to need
to yearn
to learn
to grow
to dare
to share
to play
to fly
i am humbled
and grateful
for your words
this night
thank you dear
please do
come back anytime
and leave your lines
you never know
until you try
until you reach
one day
suddenly
you'll realise
you've managed
to not only unfurl
your wings
you're actually
finally really
truly soaring
but i've felt your lines
and i know you
you like me
are constantly
learning
and sometimes even
relearning again
but it's all ok
time has her way
with each of us
and in the meantime
isn't the journey
and the view too
just simply amazing?

by Draven
From shadows he flies on dragons wings
searching, the world for his mate
With every glance his heart dies more
Is he the last? Is this his fate?
To die and never to have loved
never to touch or be embraced
To continue he has tried
for he is the last of his race
Atop a mountain he has flown
and one last look he takes
But there is nothing, no one, there
even emptiness has gone
Lifting his wings to the sky
a loud moaning roar he makes
His heart crying out in sadness
not a single route to take
Now he knows that he has failed
in this lonely world of pain
Ending all would be too sweet
as there is nothing more to gain
Lowly dragon once so proud
has fallen so far from grace
If only someone knew his heart
or the pain upon his face
Then in the night comes a rustle
the flapping of distant wings
Yet, at first he does not hear it
he is thinking of other things
She was searching the world over
so hard looking for her mate
He cannot believe it's happening
could this truly be his fate?
She flaps her wings on the mountain
his cries of pain she has heard
And she smiles at him so sweetly
there is no need to say a word
He enfolds her in his wings
giving her a warm embrace | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 4:07:01 PM | My Heart’s Remedy
by Draven
I swore to myself on a collage of broken hearts,
That I would never again hand out any keys to my heart
After I puzzled its pieces back together again.
I swore to myself on my ragged heart held together
By the glue of agonising pain,
That I would never again fall in love with love,
Or another person in this world.
Every night I would lie on my back, on the living room floor
Staring into the whiteness of the ceiling,
Wishing death upon myself to escape the pain of my beating heart;
To escape the pain I would dare not wish upon the soul
Of Hitler, burning in the deepest pit of Hell.
The thumping pain of my beating heart
Was the greater of two evils; therefore,
Death had to have been an easier and more bearable fate.
On one of my many lonely afternoons,
I laid my body down in preparation of
The death I forced myself to believe was nearing.
That was the day you began walking to me,
Headed straight toward the bolted chambers of my heart.
I caught on to your intentions the second you began.
You were gracefully making your way into my heart
Through my mind. I couldn’t resist.
I put my guard up, and
I created barriers hoping to turn you away.
You walked right through the barriers
As though they were non-existent.
You continued your elegant walk of grace
Until you reached the bolted chambers of my heart.
I tried again to turn you away, but
You stood there in patience with a smile on your face.
One look into your angelic eyes, and I knew what I had to do.
With moderate hesitation, I created a single key to my heart,
Incapable of being duplicated.
I handed you the key and you entered my heart.
After you entered my heart,
I realised what I had done, and
So I tried to push you out of my heart.
You refused to budge.
Butterflies polluted my stomach
For the first time in my life.
You placed your hand on the wall of my heart
And freed me from pain,
While melting away the glue of agony and pain.
You made my heart as new as it was
Upon the day of my birth.
I am so glad you refused to walk away from me.
I am so glad you chose to unite with me.
You are beautiful and oh so divine.
The ruler to the kingdom of my heart.
You are my heart’s remedy. | |

Posted: 10/29/2007 7:11:15 PM | thank you dru for another such touching write
the remedy for so many
is the heart of another
extended, given freely
without reserve
without expectation
without requirements or rules
with compassion
with honesty and integrity
with but simply faith and hope
can come immeasurable possibilities
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
welcome pants
thanks for your lines herein
feel free to come back anytime
no need to rhyme
or do so as you wish
either here is perfectly fine
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for sdf
today allow yourself
to dare to dream
again allow those walls
to crumble and fall
forget pandora's box
it's ok i promise
you don't need them any longer
though they served you well
kept you alive even
but now those times have passed
you're alive
you survived
in daring may again come dreams
hopes perhaps extinguished
so long ago yet maybe you know
it's saf once again
to hope and dream
in fact it may only be therein
you may find suprisingly so
dreams can come real
but only if you dare
take a deep breath
and just simply try
set your sights high
reach for stars in the sky
whisper in hope
silenty if you must
that they land deep and safe
inside your huge heart
where they've belonged
to live all along
you know exactly what i mean
if you dare
they just might
come out of your heart
and into your life
like a thousand angeel's
fluttering wings beating softly
making your blood surge
and course through your body
like electricity alive
awakening your every sense
your tactile flesh
you're in my thoughts tonight
as i wish you well
as i hope for you even when
you cannot find it in yourself
to hope again
life is so sweet
for you to just find solace in work
as important as it is to and for you
there is more in store for you
dare to dream for your angel
for you yourself are an angel
and yes, even angels
deserve to live their dreams

Posted: 10/30/2007 8:58:59 PM |  Hiya...J. , Hope all is well! A little thought to drop for you, my friend!
Happier days...early on!
Up and on....the giant hill....
The destination...yet ...still not known!
My Angel shines in on me occassionally....
not often enough!
Yet she shines...
Now I understand this place...
My place....my solemn face!
But a white celestial thought!
faded...like a shooting star.....
Yet , I had not walked alone!
A million miles from my first love!
Now I have , I now walked above!
Look back,,..seeing his face...
I see....
The me....that I always wanted to be
the flower........
of Everlastingness!

by Draven
The dragon hoping it's mate is true
Gives it's love, hopes, dreams to it's mate
Together they thrive,
Thrive with a passion
A fire, a Spark, a Flame, a Blaze
Their feelings unite, the two become one.
But all was not said, all was not done.
The mate becomes wary, another dragon comes.
The dragon whose love he had given.
Tried to stop the relationship from living.
He tried to keep her the best of his might.
But she soon strayed away from his sight
The dragons it's dreams shattered to pieces
The dragons its hopes were ripped to shreds
He hoped she would come back,
She left him for dead
The dragons love was not broken but cracked
Now waiting for time to keep it intact. | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 11:27:41 AM | ahh jules thank you
visiting leaving lines
beauty sweet and purity
of heart's friendship
one's own understanding
still tired here but trying
never giving up the dreams
rejoicing in recent past
love always triumphs over dark
though it sometimes takes a bit
of patience it all eventually
works out perfectly as in a
beautiful symphony
each note splays across a heart
begins again a brand new start
new dreams lie in front of all
even those who don't yet dare
all it takes is to believe
then choices chosen bring reality
hoping you're having a beauty day
full to almost bursting with bounty
endless possibilities of turning dreams
into each one of your realities
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
dru thank you too
dragons know they live to fly
their hearts may be gaurded
and with good reason why
but again comes a day of brilliance
forgotten dashed hopes again
will become tomorrow's forgotten sting
for who yet knows what tomorrow brings
indeed love never breaks
though it feels as a heart cracked
the waiting patiently
for planets to align in sychronicity
for that time ahead when all becomes truth
ringing in clarity finally
for the one in the past that hurt so bady
had to pass for us to heal
all so in perfect time
we can shelter and fly highest
with the one that's intended
that certain special one who's real
she is breathing and searching too
perhaps her hurting just isn't quite through
when she's healed and so are you fully
you both then will find each other's light
a fairy tale perhaps then becomes real
but me, i've no doubts at all
i know when it is mean tot be
when falls into place your lives join
the two of you together will fly
into the brilliance of the brightest sun | |
|
| a place for us novices
Posted: 11/8/2007 6:31:56 PM | the evening ahead
before me tonight spreads
all planned out
thai food
spicy curry
steamed rice
spicy green beans
heated with chili peppers
fresh green and bright red
even the colors please me
crab rangoon mixed into
fluffy cream cheese
little soft pockets
pillow like and creamy
sweet ripest reddish green
juicy pears for dessert
mmmmm
later i'll run a nice
more than warm
bath to lower myself into
sighing and washing away
the past few weeks and days
strife behind now with clear mind
my imagination wanders flying
ssstretching into clouds
eyes closed lips smiling
remedy of meditation
joyous celebration
focus returns
surfacing
upwards from warm mud
leaving sludge of mind
and past cares behind
clean fresh sheets
softly scented flannel
in lovely blues
warm chocolate
matisse wrap
tiny tiny stitches
velvet pillows
and tapestry
all just for me
solitary
yet still enjoying
simplest pleasures
to wallow in
the thick warmth
enveloping my senses
citrus and green tea
patchouli potpourri
a silly name to me
scents scintillating
spoiling myself
bought a few gifts today
toys for tots
a soft plushy teddy
a white magical rabbit
for two lovely children
ensures two more deserving
will gain from these
then admittedly naughtily
i bought stuff just for me
olive oil and orange blossom
moisterizing body wash x2
luxurious moisterizing bath oils too
it's been a long month past
i'm overdue a relaxing bath
no candles to be lit
i prefer the darkness
and the sound of facet's drip
still enjoying stretching
and oiling
solitary me
someone's gotta spoil me
might as well be
myself methinks
yes i'm smiling
not even pouting
the slightest bit
i'm sinking into
my future languidly
you see and really
for now it's
a fine time
all for me | |

Posted: 11/8/2007 6:59:53 PM |  Angel....So happy you are enjoying what all us ladies should! Not to mention the kindness of your beautiful heart, giving!
Daily pleasure , is what should surround us!
Do not place restrictions on it.
Often self pleasure is kept for another day;
when we get or accomplish something we want.
Don't expect at another date , we should wait for pleasure!
There should be "no Ifs " about the pleasure in our lives.
Every day I am trying to make a basic goal;
an inner feeling that I deserve to enjoy myself.
Most with great success; find greater anxiety and less relaxation.
Court pleasure instead of pain;feel you are worthy of that!
I myself have not been doing that,
yet reading this lovely write of my friend;
I am feeling very guilty and well...thanks Angel!
Find pleasure in foods that taste so delicious to you;
Encourage friendship ....that is sincere;
Smile back at a smile, that is meant to cheer!
Surround yourself with beautiful things;
those that make you comfortable and at ease!
William Shakespeare wrote: Pleasure and action make the hours
seem short."
short or long , make your hours ring and sing with pleasure.
Laugh at people who say that pleasure is not part of life,
because they are ignorant; but forgive them,
because they are not as wise ...as you.
No one can make you unhappy without your consent!
Happiness is a gift you give to yourself, not just during
Christmas but all year round!
Thanks for the message , my friend!

Posted: 11/8/2007 9:23:02 PM | Thank you soft edge I don't care
Ilove poems they help me get lost into nowhere
you close your eyes and live somewhere
along wayoff if I dare
or float over fields of tall golden hay
It all depemds on what makes your day
the best of all are the people you meet
when you open your eyes all of a sudden you see
the coolest of tudes with minds that do meet .
Do I mind heck know please share
you see the coolest minds
from everywhere | |

| i closed my eyes to see
Posted: 11/9/2007 7:02:00 PM | It does not pay to be bashfull in this world we live in
it pays to love and live without sin
If you love you'll let your life go and then
through your mind only then you will know
you can't hide nor can you run from the beautifull son
When you close your eyes then you will see the truth comes from within
only then you will see | |

Posted: 11/10/2007 12:26:17 PM | ahh jules glad my own musings
somehow touched
and maybe nudged you
remember to take time
all you need to, for you
not to live in any shadow
to dare take to make time
to fully relax and unwind
throw out all that which
doesn't work for you anymore
take in other meanings
discard programmed ways
make way fo new good things
which will surely come your way
wash away all specks of troubles
with so many good ways to renew
self indulgence such a decadence
when it really needn't be
clearing self via soul searching
is just finding then making
yourself better ways to breathe
it's not gender specific stuff
it's not really even fluff
what i mean is methinks
not just us femmes ought
to take the time to enjoy
our sensuality singularly
in different or ordinary ways
even if it only to relax
our weary minds and bodies
or if to completely recharge
and no i don't mean batteries
i abhor faux... um ya know
Laugh at people who say that pleasure is not part of life
oh i do, and at myself most of all 'cause i'm a people too
and ya know what? *whispers and smiles*
i had all to myself half a decadant
dove chocolate bar with almonds
the other night without a solitary
misgiving rather i enjoyed each
and every softly melting bit
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
designs you got me smiling
you're talking in riddles
almost making me giggle
you're writing in ryhmes
twisting my poor 'ttle mind?
are you leaving us dear?
ohhh is this what you're saying?
if that's the truth well
i sure wish you'd be staying
here your heart so sweet
i'll miss you, you know
but must wish you well
your words make hearts swell
when you say someone
won't let you go
i'm not sure if
it's someone you know
i hope not a stalker
but a lover so true
i hope you've found
the perfect woman for you
thank you for gracing
the threads with your lines
i wish you a life full
of love blessings and light
truly i do dear
for your heart has touched mine
thank you for taking your time
herein leaving your ryhmes
all the best to you, sincerely
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i read aother profile that made me laugh
if you're a player, please don't bother
yet i note their own marital status listed as prefer not to say
short uptight laundry list included her desired do's amd don'ts
only men of this age to that age will get a response
we might dance together for life
must have good table manners and no fowl language
(allowed only in certain circumstances)
omg, "no fowl language" AND (allowed only in certain circumstances"
sooo, one can ply her with foul language, just not "fowl" language, *smiles*
makes me wonder what's considered a "certain" circumstance, to her
but i don't need my brain warshed yes i meant warshed; like that 80s cult comic jimbo
where is that odd old book of mine my add riddled mind wonders and wanders
ahhh but perhaps i do need my brain warshed afterall this makes me smile
and i really do hope she finds her man to dance with for life
i dislike cut n pasters with only flowery rainbows and butterflys
flitting here and there dispensing their posed advice
looking back now i can appreciate laughing
at their impetousness of lame tired schemes
show me something real not just constant posies and glee
show me the reality of yourself up or down whatever it is
because just posing is for the vapid ones you know the kind
those that walk around posing for others in so many ways
you see that ilk everywhere even in grocery stores
usually with their mouths wide open thinkin it's so attractive
wtf, there are germs out here, take care a fly won't dare go in there
just ask my aunt rosie it happended to her and she was near no posie
(i must make them gag too, my talking to cats and the breeze)
telling myself sometimes some things over 'n over again you see
as if to verily absorb the words into cellular structure of reality
meaning if they aren't already an inherent part of me
we all simply choose to do our own self convincing thank you
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
but but but
i remember singing
off key but happily
to crowded house's
you'd better be home soon
and i was
and he was
and we were
soo tired
after driving
so many miles
in a rented car
pulling into
the city
which became
my new home
so sleepily
taking in the
dark night
foggy city lights
and he, well
he was right there
beside me
holding my hand
kissing my fingers
entwined in his own
we were home
and yes he
was singing too
as he drove us
into our future
that's now
become our past
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xenon optix never faded
carbon whispers on my heart
liquid silver dreams
languid memory streams
bring me full circle
to a brand new start
yesterday my desert sky was grey
from desert fires not so far away
someone mistakenly
called it virga
i just rolled my eyes
and of course being me
i sighed
but held my tongue
(yeah that was hard to do)
but i'm learning sometimes
it gets me through
just like so long ago
forgive me this
momentary lapse
into memory
or not
and turn away
i'll smile either way
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
drinking strong panche liquor
my first two shots
given me my very first morning
i landed in spain
he took me straightaway
from the plane
we went in those
fog laden early morning hours
in a city with sun not yet awakened
to an old cafe where the old men sat
smoking strong smokes
already (or still) drinking shots
with expresso pressed
won't tell you
the rest of that day
not here anyway
not now another day
maybe

Posted: 11/10/2007 2:26:30 PM | I'm not here for the games to be played
nor am I here to get laid
I am the truth that most want to see
sometimes there are some that try to rid me
but! the truth comes out as we all know
this I know I don't have to show
thats it.Iam not but just to say peace of mind
I don't care so I don't lie
but I run from liar's
those who try to control
but if it get's out of control
and there is a hole
I'll find it | |

Posted: 11/11/2007 9:56:34 AM | d4y i liked 797 thank you for sharing it herein
798 confused me as i don't know which "her" you mean?
799 no worries friend, i always say it my way
and keep on going come what may
sometimes i'm like a steamroller
other times soft like butter
always ways i find just flows
just the way it seems to go
today a friend has enlisted me
to help her with a school project
regarding her own visionary creativity
i'm excited to later attend an exhibition
at a local museum i once was a member of
but still have managed to obtain free tickets to
las vegas diaspora
the emergence of contemporary art from the neon homeland
http://www.lasvegasartmuseum.org/exhibitions.htm
so many talented artists all in one place to take in
happy and content am i this day
despite all things yet left unattended
some things must take first place
in my life and this is one of them
calling me bidding me to partake in
i hope you reading this
have a day in which you too
find something you
really really want to do
sift through your many choices
aim for that which you need
whatever most brings you peace | |
