happily ever afters
are just fairy tales
love like unicorns
beautiful in theory
but fairy tales
none the less
is what they are
The unicorns are real enough
Dont see them though when life is tough
For when the shades are drawn down tight
And in ourselves we dwell in fright
An elephant could be right there
And we'd not see right at us stare
But unicorns are swift of hoof
And tarry not upon your roof
But swept along with with winds of time
With bright manes flowing, tails held high
And laughter in each dancing step
You'll hear them if ye listen yet
As in our darkness dwell still more
That unicorn beats at our door
With spiralled horn and dancing eyes
Will find another....love's demise
For unicorns cannot be tombed
Or chained and harnassed in that room
They need the breath of freedoms flight
And bring sweet open hearts delight
As stand in wonder as they see
The unicorn indeed...is free
I believe in unicorns! | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 11:02:04 PM | thank you salty... that was beautiful...
I actually collect unicorn things...

but I guess in the last few years
I just stopped believing... | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 11:32:26 PM | Did you know there is legend about the unicorn?
About the transformation into human form
And how she was hunted
And deprived of silvered flying hoofs
Shot.....and wounded
Unable then to complete the transformation back to unicorn..
She stayed too long
What was her sin?
She fell in love with a human
Tried to be one....to be with him
But..she couldnt do it
Any more than he could fly...
And staying on the ground sweet Caly...is not where a unicorn can ever be happy
Fly sweetheart! Just fly! And leave it all behind 
But as long as your heart binds you to something which is here
Even if its not real or as you thought it would be
You're sentenced to tred this place as the very thing that broke your heart
.........just fly
even if its only for a little while....
...just fly....
Take a breath and lift to the place that holds the majik you once knew so well
...................and run swift and long...with joy!
....................................feel the wind in your hair once more
..................................................and the laughter on your lips*
You can always return
All you have to do...is stop believing
And you'll find yourself right back here again

Posted: 3/20/2007 2:10:55 AM | salty.... your words brought tears to my eyes....
your ability to listen, to hear, to understand...
has touched me deeply...
and helped me immensely...
I thank you for seeing me for me...
for believing in me and encouraging me
to find my own wings and fly...
within my own current...

Posted: 3/20/2007 2:17:58 AM | I sometimes long
to just shout out
the truth of who I am
and what I'm all about
I often grow tired
of always pretending
to be happy and free
and always smiling
I sometimes wonder
if friends I would keep
if they saw my soul
the pain hidden deep
I sometimes cry
late at night
behind locked doors
out of sight
I am who I am
but who might that be
does anyone know
do they see the real me
I'm everyones friend
always willing to listen
but when my days are dark
where have they been
I know they don't know
nor do they even see
to wrapped up in themselves
they don't think about me
I struggle with myself
over those in my life
who more often then naught
cause me nothing but strife
I know they don't care
who it is that I am
to caught up in themselves
to even give a damn
but I blame myself
for not speaking out
for being to afraid
and filled with doubt
my past has taught me
to be what others want
so now here I am, lonely
still acting, nonchalant

Posted: 3/20/2007 2:30:58 AM | ^^ step 1
step 2: repeat after me.....
"no"
(even to me if you dont feel like doing it!)
step 3: dont hide it behind closed door to cry
real friends will understand and cry with you
and there might be more of them than you can see right now through your pain
but you'll never know until you show your pain and let them see you're human too
we luv ya cal~
Are You Strong Enough to Bleed?
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To say it truly how it is
And not flinch back when it hurts too much to write, to say
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To lay your pain upon the pages
To let them out where others now can see
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To paint with pain and see the images?
Of those things that once you were, or are still
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To relive the things that hurt you most
To take that pain and lay it raw and open like a wound
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To make yourself remember the good things you loved...and lost
And yet let go of the bitterness of that defeat
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To be honest in your words
And speak the things that are truly in your heart, not speak in circles
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To not fear others judgements
To risk the pain of rejection to be true to yourself, be free
Are you strong enough to bleed?
Enough that when those judgements come
You can still stand tall and speak your 'own' truth, not bow to theirs
Are you strong enough to bleed?
To face the knife held before you
Expose your throat...and speak your truth anyway

Posted: 3/20/2007 10:19:39 PM | thanks again salty... but experience has taught me there are few
who want to see the pain I feel... they'd rather sit in judgement...
or tell me of all the other people in the world who are far worse off then I...
and I don't seek anyones sympathy... I don't even seek to compete...
I just want to know someone, somewhere... understands....
and perhaps might even love me inspite of it...
I have many demons.... some not even my own....
but I attempt daily... to grab a hold of them
and deal with them face to face... I just do it alone... | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 10:43:58 PM | Then thats your choice and should be so
As about your days you need to go
In ways that fit as 'you' feel right
Not just because you're 'out of sight'
(check out whysprs thread...we have a wolf run going on....want to join us?) | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 11:15:13 PM | hey salty got to thinking and remembered JD's thread also inspired a strong enough to bleed poem for me too.... but I think yours is prolly better... but decided I'd repost mine anyways....
Are You Strong Enough to Bleed?
do I have the strength
can I afford to bleed
I've pondered this at length
and I thinks it's just what I need
some people cry
though they shed not a tear
me? well I try
but instead, live in fear
my weakness I hide
hoping no one will see
way to much pride
for me to be free
caged all my life
the bars unseen
hiding my strife
since before I was a teen
so bleed I must
until I can find
someone to trust
inside
my
own
mind
~Caly
edit... almost forgot will try to for a wolf one but sadly enough I'm not feeling very poetic this evening.... may just end up heading off to sleep... | |

| Fare~Thee~Well
Posted: 3/21/2007 9:07:12 PM | becoming disheartened
unshed tears glisten
the soul beaten
filled with dismay
putting pen away
ending my stay
no longer will I dwell
now time to tell
fare the well...
~Caly | |
|
| Fare~Thee~Well
Posted: 3/21/2007 9:14:05 PM | If feel you must you need to go
Then as you exit, do please know
Your presence here is cherished great
And those of us who love you...wait
Edit: And she's gone... travel well sweet Caly~ hope to see you back some time

|
| Fare~Thee~Well
Posted: 3/21/2007 10:38:24 PM | Oh my! dear Caly!!!
You may or must need to go...
yet I wish you would have stayed a bit more...
Now what else can I do if not joining SaltyTowers:
And those of us who love you...wait
Another flower to lose at night
to be missed by morning sunlight!
Yes Caly, me too do hope to see you back some time...

| Caly's back but she's not a brat anymore
Posted: 3/25/2007 11:14:30 PM | yeah right.... LMAO
~ Caly ~ .... is caught in the middle of the 72 hour no post rules. She had a couple of things she wanted to post....
words written in ink
that were not my own
but hope did drink
from writer unknown
once more dreams abound
as I dared to believe
in words love was found
not meant to deceive
you touched my heart
then with stroke of pen
you tore me apart
love found and lost again
building walls, trapped within
promising myself once again
that I'll not let anyone in
but heart with mind of own
does desire to be found
and walls go tumbling down
to trusting is the heart
continuously torn apart
not at all very smart
it sacrifices the soul
in its attempt to be whole
and the pain takes its toll
now the soul can take no more
so mind and heart are at war
fighting like never before
one begging to be free
the other unable to agree
and helplessly sits me
there in the middle
amongst the rubble
of the breakable

cause one of these days
a fish is gonna nibble on my line

I got my tackle box, rod and real
and I'm gonna stop off at the stop
and buy me some real good bait
then I'm gonna hit that lil ole pond
and cast my fishing line
then I'm gonna get comfy
and just sit back on the bank
enjoying the warm sunshine
while I wait for a bite
on my fishing line....

Posted: 3/28/2007 12:17:15 AM | roses of beauty
roses in bloom
represent love
sometimes doom
so I beg of you
to please beware
of those thorns
that prickle and tear
at the hands
that hold them
much to tight
around the stem

Posted: 3/28/2007 1:09:08 AM | thanks ad... is nice to be back... inspired and writing again....
that 3day wait is rather horrible and now I find I have no edit either...
they really punish you when you start over again lol
but it is worth it to be amongst friends once more
another "flower" one I just posted in Tim's home...
the dandelion...
to once again have
the eyes of a child
filled with innocence
completely beguiled
seeing only the beauty
that is there to behold
a weed is but a flower
not yellow but gold
given to a mother
with loving care
picked by a child
treasured and rare

Posted: 3/28/2007 5:49:17 PM | posted this one in JD's thread but felt the need to edit it a bit...
wasn't quite right before not sure it is yet lol
pillows stained with tears
are often held tight
as I live with my fears
of being alone at night
with no one to hold
and no one to tell
the heart left cold
when you bid farewell
but today I changed
and washed away tears
I now feel enraged
about all of these years
that I gave of myself
yet you walked away
thinking only of yourself
back on that fateful day
but rage quickly fades
as I begin to realize
my world was of hades
you leaving opened my eyes
I see the misery you caused
and the gift to me you gave
for me to have escaped
living with you in a grave

Posted: 3/28/2007 5:51:15 PM | one I wrote the other day when I left POF....
sitting in the dark
on that lakefront dock
listening to the trees
moving in the breeze
as the water gently sways
the sky becomes a blaze
starting off a new day
I sit lost in the fray
with my broken dreams
nothing as it seems
a life torn asunder
I often times wonder
why I continuely hope
knowing I can't cope
not strong anymore
disappointed to the core
life's finally taken its toll
beaten and bruised is my soul
and as I watch the rising sun
I finally wished my life were done

Posted: 3/29/2007 6:31:50 AM | this one was written by a friend of mine....
'tis blissful soul given rise this day
carried upon the back of morning light
the sunrise knows her stations..as Christ knew
disapointment heartache betrayal
knows she joy freedom and rebirth
carry forth the message
light of heaven spills t'ord
encasing all in guilded beauty
flee darkness
to the pits and valleys from whence thow come
sliding with the tides of shadow
across the ground flattened in submisive retreat
behold this light of day
behold
returns the sun

Posted: 3/29/2007 4:31:35 PM | another one by my friend....
behold appolo' shield of light
as high it reaches...shooting for heavens glory
cast oer the world below
shodows now receed...as tide of light rises high
earth warms....darkness fleeing as disgraced by vicorious sun
brows behold springs green and pastel bloom
tis spring...tis time of rebirth...tis time for life
so be banished yeah of cold darkness gloom
rest long in your sunken dungeons and damp dark holes
for behold the giver...creater
apollo shines this day oer the gardens of athenas robe
vanquish the season of death and dying
behold athena....behold life

Posted: 3/29/2007 9:36:52 PM | Caly-- Good to see you back. Hope that all is well with you.
Frustration can light the road
Aggravation can be the fuel
Impatience can be the escape vehicle
However it is the friendships that bring us back | |

Posted: 3/29/2007 9:49:44 PM | hiya JD and thnx for stopping by my thread!! tis good to see you here and speaking words that are so very true =)
in need of a date
for event of the year
a man who is brave
and willing to meet
a gal's entire family
all in one shot
all in one place
must be able
to shuffle feet
at least a few times
to the rythm of music
but no need to worry
you won't have to dance
the whole night away
and you'll even get
the bonus
of a free meal
it sure would be nice
to finally have a man
to be able to take
to one of these events
