| Here's another one from my Katalist
Posted: 12/18/2005 3:01:23 PM | It’s not about dying
It’s about being alive,
It’s not about resistance to pain,
It’s about the inability to cry,
It’s about bringing yourself,
Back from by the edge,
It’s about balancing yourself,
So you don’t fall from the ledge,
It’s not about becoming someone else,
It’s about hanging on to your image,
It’s not about being brave,
It’s about hiding your lack of courage,
It’s not about dragging others down,
It’s about standing alone,
It’s not about fitting in with others,
It’s about being on your own,
It’s not about the wounds,
It’s more about the scars,
It’s not about the knives,
The razors and glass shards,
It’s not about being open,
It’s about keeping deadly secrets,
It’s not really about the bruises,
The burns, the scratches and cuts,
I'm back, i missed the forums:)
It’s about feeling again,
Knowing you’re not a machine,
It’s about purging the body,
And no longer feeling unclean,
It’s about seeing the stars through a ceiling,
About believing that things can turn around,
It’s about feeling hopeless and miserable,
Feeling lost and never being found,
It’s about being inside a fantasy,
That you created in your mind,
It’s about hearing all the hidden things,
And seeing through the blind,
It’s about controlling all your actions,
Proving what you can do,
It’s about letting yourself go sometimes,
When no one will worry about you,
It’s not about dying,
It’s about being able to feel,
It’s about being fake,
And pretending that you’re real. | |

Posted: 12/18/2005 3:20:15 PM | =======================
When this Poem is read, you must place yourself into the poem as though it were to be you who wrote it, thought it and felt it, place yourself in it fully and you will get the full feeling it gives you within. READY?.......take a deep breath and have thoughts of nothing else, but being One in this poem.
=======================
DARK VS LIGHT
----------------
A deep saddened darkness creeps into thy soul, it comes and it goes like it were to be there in the lurking once more. It takes over any brightness that may try to show...
I "ASK” this Darkness, why it claims Ones soul, for I whisper ((((Ohhhhhh Darkness that is with me at this time, is there not others you wish to reside in?))))
(OHHH "says" the Darkness; you are such fun to see withering inside, for if the light were always with you as you claim, it would not be sooo easy to roam where you reside...)
I then whisper, claim me not, for you and the brightness might as well become one, for is it not that you two seem to be hand in hand most times.
So take over I call, for you shall no longer be the lurking shadow, that wishes to take hold of this Ones hand... don't need to lurk, for I will offer it to you, there is no use in pretending you are no longer there...
*CROOKED GRIN* The Darkness gives me and in return, the Darkness reply's...
Then so it shall be, BUT always remember you offered yourself willingly to me! | |

Posted: 12/19/2005 5:58:31 AM | Please remember, there are two things you must never rhyme in a poem:
1. Car and far. (I got in my car and drove really far)
2. Eyes and realize. (Open your eyes and realize.)
These are very tired cliches. Use them only to induce eye-rolling. | |

Realize Your Being
20 December 2005
Open your eyes
and realize you are blind
Take that essence of spirit
and in words bind
Understand your tomorrow
and never in holden eyes see
Because your passions
need to flow free
Run that race
and travel far
Do it by roads of wisdom
never take it by car
Contriving the art of love
open your heart to breath unknown
Then let the world untangle
all you have learnt of a life grown
". . . for their eyes were holden"
Luke 24: 16 KJV

As You Are
20 December 2005
Her heart felt
a thump from afar
Or was it more
related to a poet to a car
This in realized eyes
of her beauty in spirit
Radiated in warmth
upon ground in snow
Summer shine
on her winters day
Happiness delivered - by
way of heavenly satellite
To think of her
knowing that was enough
This sacrament of afar - by
a poet who cares as you are
“A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes
of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the
beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.”
Deuteronomy 11: 12 KJV

So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.

to others alike for them to hold
in hearts and minds of young and old
feelings revieled from poets so bold
pictures are painted from black and white
posts are grounded both day and night
time flys by with out a sight
of colorful peoples bright writes.

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:28:51 PM | There was a dork
who ate pork
Thought he had a brain
so made an open claim
To go by car
and do it in travel far
Lucky for him in some eyes
much more is to realize
Eating crow or road kill
being this in taste of bitter pill | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 9:51:36 AM | Thanks kblgl ! Nice to be here Alis ! That did sum it up poet! Anything goes!
Us poets , are we the romantics or what
are the reasons for dreaming and sharing
feelings in daring to spill our road kill
all over these pages of entertainment
for quiet seasons to fill our air heads
that are in our lap tops and desks topped
up with ideas to get with, us poets.
well that was fun!

Waves of Expression
23 December 2005
To begin - to start
to comprehend
In asking a question
or justice through
love to send
What was poetry
this bushel of seed
Others were given
in another way to read
Were there rules
or was there some
Who would care
and what was to come
Verses of stanza
from top to end
To begin - to start
upon waves of expression
to from the heart in soul depend
“The point of living and of being an optimist, is to
be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.”
Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)

Fire on the Mountains
22 December 2005
Like matches to burn
does love need to hurt
This pain of wanting to care
as if no one else felt the same
Come that fire of breath
inside a heart tampered with
Climbing so high - yet lowly
was to happiness a broken thought
Where was it in worth
this fire on the mountains
Another place to dwell
that heaven of heartbreak to smell
Her scent or his eternal being
a man and woman unfeigned
Ode to a lonely poet
could they be in words inflamed
“By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness,
by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,”
2 Corinthians 6: 6 KJV

Life to Give
24 December 2005
Where does life go
when all the good poets die
Those words of beauty and despair
left behind for others to share
This place she would be
when he read those words
Or he stood at flock
while time went by
Treasure to betroth
gathered in to heart
An enlightening teardrop
to be there in each weep to cry
Those words of beauty and despair
left behind for others to share
Over which they themselves
will give and shed a tear
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it
to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”
Leviticus 17: 11 KJV
