Posted: 12/5/2005 4:06:10 PM | “Circumstances”
Circumstances can kill what was once full of life,
How its’ power can bring love to a close.
How will I ever breathe again,
Realizing what my love already knows?
We cannot belong together,
Our paths will not let that be.
I endlessly ponder our condition,
But the truth shall set me free.
Nevertheless, we eventually meet again,
Oh, this will certainly be the last!
But we both know it is the first of many,
As we determinably hold onto our past.
You caress me ever-so-gently,
As you eternally dread the end,
Hoping for my absolute happiness,
Though you shall merely be my friend.
We hold one another, then part at the gate,
I turn and hide my tears.
I am once again faced with reality,
Once again faced with my worst fears.
I know that you cannot give me your life,
Though you love me with all of your heart.
I wish you did not have to leave me,
But alas, you must finally depart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yet amongst our ashes,
Remember what is true,
My arms are always open,
And I will forever love you. | |

Red darkness looms over my life…
Until I take one glance at you.
I know that angels must exist. | |

I see myself in your eyes
Yet you can't see me
What I feel
Lost in eyes that have never found me
Looking for answers
Still I stand
What am I but your reflection?
In a differant light
Of the same mind
The same fears
Stll I stand inches from your face
As you look threw me | |

The Decision
The hand holds firm
one eye stays open
a breath is held...
BANG!
A predator dies
hunting for food tp
tide the long winter...
CRACK!
Money is safeguarded
protected by those
that raise the fish...
BLAM!
A creature dies
while during past-times,
killing without need.
Click.Clack.

how is one to judge objectively,

Posted: 12/5/2005 9:31:04 PM | My paper boat
I sail my paper boat so quick
and so swift
Down the stream it goes as though it were adrift
Where will it go I wonder aloud
As it seems to float upon a cloud
Now it is gone plain out of my sight
And thinking of it as I dream at night
Where did it go over here or there
Is it in Japan, Italy, Greece or where
But surely some day I hope it finds peace
As I reach the end of my days I wonder what I'll see
maybe just maybe my paper boat coming back to me | |

These days are good,

There is no games

we'll still be friends until we die

We've had our days where angers flowed
Brothers we stand, and live by that code | |

Let me
part your calm waters
with this dry body.
Let me
enter your depths
with speed and ferocity.
Let me
soak up the chill
'til my body grows numb
and fathoms the fathoms
Then I will sink
with the nature of the act
like all things cast upon the water.

Posted: 12/6/2005 3:59:55 AM | My Country
My body is my country.
There are overgrown paths
that twist and roll
through stirring emerald dales
and deep, still cobalt pools.
Yet, there are many savage views.
The land wants for settling.
This country is my body:
earth for blood;
grass for skin.
There are so many mirrored eyes
reflecting the visions around me;
refracting them skywards for the clouds
to snatch up and rain down again.
I would like to be his Italy;
to wrap him in the rich firmanent
of an ancient country.
I would like to offer him
the comfort of generations;
the soul of history.
But these boundaries are uncultured;
these shores too rudimentary.
Still, I want to be his Italy
and dust his heavy brow
with voluptuous lips
and the wisdom of the ages.

Posted: 12/6/2005 8:48:47 AM | I'm back people, applause applause! Kat, I was so happy to see a contribution from you. I must admit to being curious about your poetry and you didn't disapoint. touching tragic and beautiful.
a stifled laugh in the dead of night
a gentle kiss at dawn's first light
a soft hand to wipe away a tear
all make me wish that you were here
A cold wind against my back
a walk in the rain
and a leafy track
the total absence of pain
I wish you'd come back
a cold bed with an absent space
a house in mourning
and a weeping face
you were my heart
and my happy place
How will I live without you near
as your narcotic laugh
had lifted me clear
of all life's worries
and all my fears
and for a brief time
I could clearly see
a life I wanted to live
a me I wanted to be
but now that you've left
and time is between
me and you
and all we have seen
all we will do is now far away
and all we will be
is when or someday
So when night's inky mood
seems endlessly blank
I think of you nude
and have a swift wank ! | |

The sadistic stars portray
Cryptic creatures
casting satanic spells
On lust filled love
Causing suffocating suicides
Their prismatic powers murder
Melancholic magic in its beginning
The shadowy faith inside
their demeaning minds
for-tells taken time
never ticking
becoming immortal
and immune. | |

Upon the tallest towers of the sky,
The kings demise the peasants freedom.
A shady switch that heaven has cast,
Its boldness built on raging knights.
Its darkness leaves tearing showers,
Of string and stitch that bind the blood,
Forming my titanium soul.
Believe beneath my sour sash are shields,
Holding mighty powers in-sync.
But deceiving their blind sight beyond,
Protecting me from evils light,
Protecting me from its dead delight. | |

There she stands as clear as day,
Watching as the people say,
"Like an angel I would Pray,
If only I could have that lay."
She turns her shoulders
Walkes away.
As she walks whithout grace,
She cannot stop the tears on her face,
With her mind wondering in space,
She day dreams of a wonderful place.
She dreams of a place where no eyes
Can touch her, no voice can whisper,
and no minds can dream'er.
In this land where soft souls go,
The wind carries a tune with its blow,
There is no rain and theres no snow,
Theres no sun, nor shadow.
The leaves are scattered on the ground,
with a golden glow all 'round
And the dew drops fall with a beautiful sound...
Day dreamers land has just been found. | |

Kind not Pretend
07 December 2005
Some people many not understand
what this was all about
When another person
writes them a poem
In a gentleness
as not to shout
This gift given
and silence seen
Maybe never really requested
or of reward in token seeking being
Did she understand
his kind way to address
Or was she untouchable
in her own gratitude to express
In all he held hope she did
know of a poet who cares in heart
When within him - such words began
so he went to the finish from the start
© 2005 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet)
a poet who cares | |

Posted: 12/6/2005 10:30:50 AM | Heres a couple for you all who smoke chronic ( I used to so thats why I had fun with this)...
High...
My eyes are shutting,
Things are a daze-
My body is weak,
But it's just a faze.
I need some more chronic,
I need some more cash-
I need to smoke another,
because I'm about to crash.
BANG! It hits me,
The lights are out-
My eyes are shutting,
Im about to shout...
Im thinking too much,
about to pass out.
Drugs...
From a seed grows a weed with seven leaves.
As its green like grass and trees, we don't see much,
it's burried in greed.
Roll it up in a joint, light the tip of the point.
Smoke is flowing around the air,
Makes it foggy but who cares...
We're ~ All ~ High!
Burning out we want to shout,
Smoke another might make you shutter.
Head is spinning, ears are ringing,
Hands are twitching, tummy's itching...
All is well i'll eat some food,
I hate burn out, it sucks no doubt.
From one little seed, one weed, one joint
BECOMES ME!! | |

Posted: 12/6/2005 10:39:47 AM | Im assuming that was being addressed to me...
I appreciate the other one that you sent me aswell.
Forgive me for possibly unknowingly changing the meaning
of the rhyme when we first met... It is sometimes hard to find an answer
behind a poem or rhyme. Atleast for me, and like you said take in the word as you read them not the writer but your own... Perhaps that might have back fired... Well all is forgotten
Im just putting my stuff on here for the sake of other people minds... If you can understand half of the stuff than you're on the right track of understanding me. I just pretty much write stories... arent we all, in our own ways. Well Anyways.. thanks to all and sorry again "poetwho cares" ;):P | |

Posted: 12/6/2005 10:42:25 AM | The tear
A single tear slides down my cheek, burning a trail of misery
Furrows deep and singes my skin
Matching the pain I hold within
The light has left my eyes which used to twinkle with mischief
The sheer joy I got from simply living
Is something I will no longer be giving
The very core of my being has been ripped from inside
Unceremoniously taken and shoved aside
I once stood tall with shoulders squared
Now I feel spineless, no backbone at all
A mindless, gelatinous puddle of ooze
Soaking up gallons of 100 proof booze
Only a faint shadow of my former self
How did this happen, where did I go
Does anyone care, does anyone know | |

I need to control this feeling inside
This road that I'm on, I don't care to ride
I had hoped I would never see you again
Your presence has brought me nothing but pain
Your timing is bad, you had nothing to gain
Leave my life now! you come only in vain
You can't keep on trying to get in my head
My thoughts you create are better unsaid
I am better than this, you will not be fed
for if you don't leave, I am better off dead
If only I could just keep you away
I could look forward to every new day
You don't ever have any good things to say
You have no place in my heart, so just go away
My love for my life shall keep you at bay
I will be stronger and will get my way
You give off a scent that others detest
You poison my soul, your qualities at best
The hatred you seep is hard to digest
Admiting your name shall put you to rest
Unsettled anger...Its you I protest | |
