Posted: 8/30/2006 5:27:04 AM | The Heavy Hand
Heavy is the hand of hate in the land
but to see the bombs explode
on this selfsame street where we set our feet
and a ways just down the road
It's a faulty mind that goes forward blind
and that causes so much woe
but the truth be known it's a heavy stone
when it's someone that we know
In this day and age it's on every page
and the press is running late
as we check the print there's that awful hint
that the world is filled with hate
And there's not one soul in that picture whole
to escape that hateful "crime"
let the new day come we are rendered numb
when we read it one more time
And the problem is that the fault is "his"
that we deem the "other" side
but the score be kept we have overslept
for the numbers that have died
When we finally rise and there's none denies
we'll inherit what's above
for the heavy hand's but a grain of sand
on the Ocean that is Love | |

Posted: 8/30/2006 6:41:35 AM | Seven
Seven in hunger seven at home
Of the seven they all feel alone
They refuse to see the strength in their unity
Suffering never knowing the cost of impunity
At odds with each other and with the planet
Their compassion is hard as marble or granite
They live in a world of tough luck and hard knocks
Problems are solved by hitting or throwing rocks
They argue and quibble over their portions at dinner
Food flying and wasted no one comes out the winner
These seven really dont make much sense
They are ridiculous at their own expense
One day maybe some little ray of hope will come
When they can start to show a little compassion
For if they keep it up going the way they are going
They will never know anything without ever knowing | |

Posted: 8/30/2006 12:30:43 PM | Love and Roses
Roses may be red
as seen upon the vine
but never have you said
a single one was mine.
Never have you sent
a semblance of a rose
I figured what it meant
while picking one of those.
Knowing as I do
where love and roses stem
I walked away from you
while picking one of them. | |

Posted: 8/30/2006 12:31:18 PM | Fear of Intimacy
The sound of his voice stirred her passion
She had never felt this way before
Her defenses overtake her
She fears intimacy which she should adore
She felt so close, like they
Were drowning in a lagoon
She doesn’t understand the fear
She hides in her cocoon
Like a butterfly she is retreating
Back to the safety, she feels defeated
She tells herself this is not for me
For others maybe
A tear drops slowly down her cheek
She wants to be brave
She hates being this weak
She doesn’t understand why
She feels this way
She wishes there was a pill
To take it away
She feels vulnerable
Her soul opened wide
She had no right to feel this way
She retreats and hides

Posted: 8/30/2006 4:10:26 PM | Child Of The Universe
Child of the universe
your dream upon a star
a million miles for you
is far away from far
You are so special, child
there are no imitations
in the expanses of your mind
there are no limitations
The galaxies are loose
allowing for your feet
while suns explode from overload
oh such worlds you've come to meet
Child of the universe
your dream upon a star
you twinkle and you sprinkle
the particles you are
The meteors that fall
are scattered and abound
they shower on the hour
these galaxies around | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 8:35:34 AM | bobby--Here's one to keep it going.
“Lonely lies”
Woman of fire
Lady of sin
My precious angel
Neither of us did win
A night filled with lust
Disguised as love
We’ll pretend the feeling real
And try to rise above
New levels we did sink
More morality to break
Less confidence in ourselves
Love for intimacy’s sake
The act felt dang good
Cleansing rain clinching fires
The aftermath for the mind
Filled with scorn and ire | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 9:02:43 AM | I do not sit at your table
But I can count every card.
The game is very simple
You make it look so hard
Make sure your gun is seen
But there are no bullets in the clip
Without looking at your cards
You wager every chip
Lady Karma on your shoulder
She tells you when to smile
You glance around for a waitress
Your drink has taken awhile
Life is just a card game
and your money is how you feel
You’ll never win a dam thing
always letting the devil deal.
I do not sit at your table
Because I learned how to play
You put your cards face down
and then you just walk away.

Posted: 8/31/2006 9:36:13 AM | "Dont beleive In Everything You Read"
I hear so many many tales, all hidden among some poems?
The voice of many cowards, who only sit and write alone!
I can not pass judgement, on all the writers in which i have read
For there is so many facts that did not have to be said!
But look behind the riddles the words that rhymed but did not make sense,
As if they just added a word or a line just to make a friend
I am not trying to decieve you I believe most words can be real,
but i have been writeing on experience alone, more then just how i FEEL!
You see i am from the wrong side of the tracks, where often people are being misled
so i grown to watch for specifics, things that will be over most heads!
So please i caution all that you read, for i wont speak of any handles
BUT I SEE POEMS I SHOULD NOT SEE!
i am more then just a POET, PUBLISHED POETRY I DO READ!
And many poems that have been submitted, ARE FROM POETS WHO ARE DECEASED!
Yes you heard me say it, some of these poems have been stolen from the dead
so please believe not all that you read...for we have all been misled!!!!!!!!!!
copywrite--mexistylecisco1999
Note to all readers...i wont say any names but some of the poets are useing others writeing as there own...they know who they are........so be aware.....i have even wrote essays on one poem that was used!!!!!so do us all a favor get off the forum if you are not useing real work...that was created by yourself....poetry is AND ART FORM....PLEASE DO NOT CORRUPT A TALENT THAT MOST WISH THEY COULD HAVE......YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 11:00:04 AM | Mexistyle--Your words are always real and raw. By the way, I read your poems and my favorite was the one about the mailman. I do not know who it is that you speak. But I do know who it isn't. I am innocent. I could only wish that mine would be that good. However, your words did inspire me to write a poem.
“Sellout”
Your mind doesn’t work or what?
Can’t you think of something to say?
Your feelings are hidden so deep?
Did you feel like not thinking today?
Why do you deceive?
To steal a poem that has been wrote
Since you’ve been busted now?
Is there a lump that’s in your throat?
What happened to honor?
What happened to courage and strength?
Does insecurity scare you so much?
That you would go to such a length
Sellout with a copout
Filled with deceit and lies
How do you look in the mirror?
And gaze into your eyes | |

Mexistyle,2003 I don't know to whom you allude in your contentious charges, but by reading the little bit of your work above, whatever credentials you would have as a writer, in my opinion, are open to question. If you are going to point the finger at people on a thread such as this, get right to the point: what you are doing with this kind of diatribe is to bring suspicion on all those who write and post. And some of us actually do write professionally. This past weekend, I was one of the main readers at an International Literary Festival. I find your charges offensive, frankly, as I am quite certain others do also.
A Personal Milestone
A milestone reached a personal affair
no ways denied the march upon that mile
the mind made up and set on getting there
that thought alone with which to reconcile.
Perhaps it's odd for someone gone for Gold
that one might deem a blessing from above
the slightest hope that somehow took its hold
addressed the same a labour then of love.
It matters not for those that would decry
in hand the "prize" that prompted such a press
perceived in this the vastness of the sky
the "victor" poised to voice it, nothing less.
A milestone reached that's not to be obscured
to think such trials and agonies endured!

"let go of his hand"
I held a hand it was cold and wet
but i still could not let it go, it had no strength left in its grasp
It had just let go?
But still i held it tight, as if it needed to be
For i felt i was holding on to a soul, that i could not set free
My hand now felt just the same as i squeezed with all my might,
only one hand was holding, the had already given up its fight!
My heart was pounding and tears fell like rain
I had no more strength to hold,
i was grasping out of shear pain, with nothing to hold
i screamed with the loudest voice, it echoed from deep in my heart
but still no change the tears still rained, for time had already ran out
i fell to my knees as if i had been shot in my chest!
but it was not me it was my friend you see, i held his hand till death
His blood flowed through my fingers as i watched his eyes turn black
As if he was still looking but no longer searching,for only what he was stareing at!
His hand grew stiff as he lay on the ground, with one tear still holding in space
i closed his eyes, with one last sigh....and pleaded his case
For guys like us are only tough when the blood flows through our viens,
but as we die we say good bye with the same look we all will have in pain

Posted: 8/31/2006 12:43:49 PM | Mexistyle.. We don't need to be free of anything. We are free to post our poems, but if you feel that you must turn this thread into a debating forum, I will lodge a complaint with the moderators.
Please, feel free to post your works. People will let you know if they are appreciated by responding with praise, or not..
But please do not post your opinions as to who is 'stealing' or not..That is not what this thread is all about. | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 1:48:22 PM | At A Loss For Words
The butterfly came like a golden flame
as it streaked across the sky
and it lit the rose with its splendid pose
such a wonder to my eye
The I saw the dove and I thought of love
as it swooped to feed its young
but I saw it glide and that monarch died
and was off upon its tongue
And I stood in awe at this thing I saw
at a loss for words that day
but I found it odd and I turned to God
but he too had flown away | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 2:04:24 PM | There’s something about writing in rhyme
that bugs me most of the time.
It’s as if I chose to shove
the words around, or to make love
the way Arthur Murray taught people to dance:
without accident, without chance.
I’ve always hated filling out forms
or living by other people’s norms. | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 2:10:14 PM | Maybe, Alyosha, but, you write dandy rhyme...
Different strokes...To make it flow and tell a story is a hell of a lot more difficult than writing free verse..IMHO..
Probably why it is not so popular any more. I'm not knocking, free verse, prose, or haiku, but, it is a lot harder to write in rhyme.. | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 2:33:51 PM | TO: Sagacious Soul, first let me say I apologize if you or anyone was offended, IF i doubted anyones work, i would have told them...and so i did , i made the report thats why i felt it not important to voice there handle, as for my credits as poet and writer they need not be discussed for they are not the issue, the act of PLAGIARISM was! As writers that should be the the most important issue, i felt i should bring it up soley becuase i felt that others may have caught the writeings also, which i am sure some have, i have read great poetry from many people on this forum, Sagacious soul, bobby 7 and many others, so forgive me if anyone was offended, however my apology is given with a hurt heart, for it would seem that many emailed me directly and felt the exact oppitsite with the exception of 3 writers, one being the plagiarist!.....
Note: one of the poems was mine that was plagiarized | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 2:52:20 PM | Wow I stay out of here a few days and all Hell breaks loose!!!
A Strong Woman
She gets afraid and wants to run
She has done it so many times before
She stops and thinks “Why run?”
She’s not going to hide anymore
She holds her head high
She will have no more fear
Until the day she is to die
Fear has caused her so much pain
She ponders and wonders
Her life she will regain
Her mind is made up
Nothing will stop her now
She looks into the mirror
And makes a vow
A strong woman is what she is
Nobody can ever take that away
She will stand firm until
Her dying day
