Posted: 1/25/2007 1:17:25 PM | very bad day... so bare with me... my poems for a bit might be nothing but embittered rage... possibly a bit of self pity but I'll get over it...
embittered and angry
about how life can be
continually kicked around
and then knocked down
only to get up again
and again and again
so now hear me say
I'm done NO way
just leave me to lie here
I'm not what I appear
I'm not strong anymore
just leave me I implore
I see now its not meant
for life to ever be decent
so here I am your prey
laid out like a buffet
enjoy me all you can
I will not again stand
or even try to kneel
just finish up your meal
of embittered cuisine
and pick my bones clean
til nothing remains of me
then perhaps you'll let me be

Posted: 1/25/2007 8:42:16 PM | a rambunctious lil boy
he's my lil man
my pride and joy
a brilliant young lady
she's my angel
my everlasting sunshine
a couple of parents
that are still married
to each other none the less
if you can believe that...
a wonderful brother
that I can call my friend
who has a girlfriend
soon to be my sister
a special lil nephew
filled with joy and laughter
a bunch of friends
all over the world
to offer encouragement
when I'm feeling down
a cozy warm place
that I can call my home
a kitchen with groceries
so I won't go hungry
a semi-decent car
that gets me around
a job thats sort of ok
gives me some place to go
a difficult life
with many blessings
just taking stock
to reassure myself
life's worth living...

Posted: 1/25/2007 9:26:39 PM | My PoeticFriend,
for now my embittered anger is gone
replaced with what else but depression
I'm fighting the urge to be withdrawn
trying to instead use my poetic expression
to work through that which I really feel
which is nothing... nothing but hopelessness
because life sometimes loses its appeal
when things become such a tangled mess...
~Caly
by the way...
thanks!!
for the and
and for the compliment
it means alot... | |

Posted: 1/26/2007 6:59:59 AM | Caly,
Oftentimes our blessings
they will sometimes give us pause
and while they keep us going
a confusion they can cause
For life gets very busy
with kids, our family and friends
sometimes we get caught up in it
getting lost aroung the bend
Sometimes the many hats we wear
as daughters friends and mothers
not to mention being there
as sisters to our brothers
what this causes us to oft forget
is she who's deep inside
the person in her own right
with feelings that she hides
Until one day when something small
causes them to spring
and then watch out frustration reigns
as misery she brings
So please my friend, take time for you
and this will take you far
remember wishes, goals and dreams
just simply...who you are!
Hugs,
Tammie | |

Posted: 1/26/2007 4:34:27 PM | havebait? ~ thank you! once again... I so enjoy reading your poems and as I've said before in a way it's comforting to know that someone else out there truly does seem to understand... as bad as it sounds it's nice to know that some things don't happen to me alone... hugsssss
To everyone else... would love if more would post here in my thread... I'm especially in need of some inspirational poems if anyone would like to help me out...

Posted: 1/27/2007 12:37:47 PM | Hope you are feeling better dear Caly
"Fallen Angel"
I found you under a dark sky
an angel with broken wings
trying to smile, unwilling to cry
Slowly you opened up to me
talking first about simple things
then of impediments feeling free
Your story to me was told
with pauses and hidden tears
word by word eager to unfold
A hard fall you endured alone
hurting your soul with piercing fears
whose pain was felt in every bone
but you survived to live again
to heal from that wound
while untouched your innocence remain
Once more your wings shall spread
to fly far away from past bleak ground
for a shining future is ahead!

Posted: 1/31/2007 12:50:02 AM | I Believe...
I believe in love
so I believe in him
and I'm always devout
I believe in love
so I let him destroy me
from the inside out
I believe
I believe in love
I believe in him
I believe in love
so I believe in him
the king of his throne
I believe in love
so I let him destroy me
my life no longer my own
I believe
I believe in love
I believe in him
I believe in love
so I believe in him
but now he's gone
I believe in love
so I let him destroy me
but now I'm not his pawn
I believed
I believed in love
I believed in him
I believed
but I believe no more | |

no one to thank
perhaps at an end
in need of a friend
someone to whisper to
secrets that are true
someone that may hear
a cried but silent tear
someone to possibly share
pain one alone can not bare
someone to help shine a light
chase away demons of the night
someone who just might care
about the neverending despair | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 10:41:48 PM | I just had to laugh...
I honestly did...
don't you see?
yes I had to laugh
as he stood there
yelling at me
it came out of no where...
I certainly didn't expect it...
just a giggle to start...
it was such a surprise
then it turned into...
a full fledged...
guttural laugh...
that quite simply...
tore me apart
and brought tears
to my eyes...
but i couldn't...
stop to explain
the why's of it
to him
for I already knew
he'd never understand
that I finally...
saw him
for what he is
and realized...
he'll never...
ever....
admit it...
nor will he change... | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 10:12:53 PM | Crossing Seas
a slave to the white man and his ways
taken from thy home and put to sea
floating across a vast ocean in a daze
shackled, hands and feet, propped upon knee
swaying with the motion, feeling wretched
watching so many be taken by disease
willpower sustains, hanging by a thread
beaten and bleeding, no uttered pleas
silent, no ravaged screams to cross thy lips
not to be taken by death, not to succumb
pride not to be foresaken upon ships
crossing seas with no where to run | |

to live and to be free
to hear a tune and dance your own dance
to live and to enjoy
to be who you are and take your own stance
to live and to breathe
to enjoy the fresh air and the scent of nature
to live and to laugh
to be happy and at ease with life's adventure
to live and to love
to be at one with who and what you are
to live and to die
to have touched other lives and been your own star | |

Posted: 2/4/2007 10:49:31 AM | a drive around town (let's live)
------------------------------------
to drive and be free
to hear the music and floor it
to drive and enjoy the air
to long for the white lines swooshing by
to drive and to to breathe
to enjoy the road rage, road scum, oil burning
to drive and laugh
to be happy with my foot on the ground
to drive and to love the car
to be at one with who and what it's made of
to drive and die
to have driven other's lives... and found your own star

| Everlasting intrigue!
Posted: 2/4/2007 12:04:07 PM | This is an everlasting intrigue.
A sweetness that the jackals can’t mock;
Such a labyrinth soothing;
Such an everlasting name to breathe therein;
Wherefore cry-eth the raging tides for the rent of heaven?
They art most clean at this moment…such…I travail to believe.
This mourning hast rendered wisdom’s voice in clarity.
And here Solomon goeth again whoring in the mountains;
Burning incense upon the hewn stones of ephod;
Thus the worms relish therein the wormwood.
Before thee call-eth out repentance, his wroth shalt seek out that sought.
“The whole head is sick.” Thus, the wild dogs lurk by…
Sitting in the broad day aside the vultures
Waiting patiently the finishing of the hawks drinking blood…
Give me back my life sinning blood.
Give it back! | |
|
| Everlasting intrigue!
Posted: 2/4/2007 3:20:25 PM | A deep breath of fresh air
A place to laugh
A place to cry
A place to ponder
A thinking spot
A home away from home…
I rested
I laughed
I cried
I pondered and thought…
And now I say goodbye.

Posted: 2/4/2007 9:52:39 PM | lest we forget…
lest we forget those
whose blood, sweat, and tears
farmed and fertilized our lands
and provided our food
and our means for dress
from sun up to sun down
in the fields they did toil
whipped upon their back
when their energy gave out
then energized once more
by the shedding of their blood
in the fields they did toil
sweat dripping from their brow
the unforgiving sun
beating down upon their back
in the fields they did toil
women with swollen bellies
pains through out their bodies
as those babies kicked from within
demanding to now be let out
screams permeating the air
tears spilling free
as another slave
enters the world

Posted: 2/5/2007 5:00:51 PM | And yet those dropped from sore wombs.
Blood still steaming,
Crimson and screaming.
Precede a call for more tombs.
Blue eyes gleaming,
Half-smile's beaming,
Dancing through the catacombs...
Me and you, sad and pretty Dawn.
We watch them pass
Count their laps and whisper Mass.
I love you, on this grey morn... | |

Seek and you shall find

Seek and you shall find
a most wonderous love
Seek and you shall find
all of these things...
within yourself!

Posted: 2/9/2007 1:01:05 AM | twas in the early morning twilight
that my fears once more began
almost made it through the night
but fate wouldn't let that happen
darkness gave way to a dim light
and up ahead there did appear a man
something didn't quite seem right
so as fast as I could I ran and ran
perhaps he mistook me for a charlatan
and was looking for some delight
I just knew he was no shining knight
for I sensed vengence was his plan
and I knew I was in an awful plight
I thought for my life I'd have to fight
and then suddenly I was awaken...

| One can always dream....
Posted: 2/9/2007 11:22:32 AM | saltytowers... tyvm! I too enjoy many of your writes and am so glad you came back!
wrote this one with the intent of dropping it off else where...
but well now it just doesn't seem as right so guess I'll dump it here....
One can always dream....
I went in search of truth
and I found honesty...
I went in search of peace
and I found harmony...
I went in search of knowledge
and I found enlightment...
I went in search of warmth
and I found comfort...
I went in search of acceptance
and I found toleration...
I went in search of love
and I found affection...
I went in search and found
yet I had not far to roam
for all these things abound
within my own home....
and so the dream continues...

Posted: 2/9/2007 3:20:38 PM | Well Dear Caly, considered not brat;
By this author, who clearly sees that.
The Cavern , I've dropped by, to reflect on the prose:
To sit and admire, writings of a rose.
