| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 5:24:50 AM | Ok guys and girl I wrote this for my first love even though I haven't seen her in ten years. She moved away and I've been heartbroken since I was 16. Had a few girlfriends but nothing major.
I'm always on my own When I walk out to the world I gaze across the land I seek out what left in me in the midst of the sand Everything is changing worlds will always collide Everywhere are lovers I wish I had died I keep seaching and finding nothing I can't quite see the truth I'm molten in my shell cant quite see it through Every where's a journey but without you by my side I can see the ocean but I can't quite hear the tide When I'm bound to the darkness stiffness in my heart I'm lost and baffled my soul is torn apart Losing each day without you brings me to my side Lost in eternal memories when you were by my side Nothing is for certain but when there is nothing left I wish i was upon you with your head upon my chest Lost in eternal darkness i must carry on But i promise each day i'll find you even when i'm gone
Keep in mind i'm still a newbie at poetry, but I'm as good as they come right? ;) | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 6:32:39 AM | Here's my favorite quote I guess since I wrote it. It's used in my book.
"What do people fear the most? Is it the inner desire to achieve what they can't see? Is it the dreams of man that envy the gods to force each other into oblivion? One thing is for sure, man will never realize his destiny unless he wakes from his dream."
Lemme hear your thoughts on it | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 7:46:02 AM | Is there ever a need to love again Will I find peace and happieness without another hand Does the word love hold a title in this world anymore Everyone's so spoiled and rotten unsure in the core Does love come from feelings within Or is it when your other tells you they love you in return I often find myself admiss in this game of shrueness and bickering I want a life I can hold one another's arms while our love is thickening Does the age of love last for eternity Or does it pass on a cosmic scale like a blink of an eye Such is the game in the world of players Hearts broken without any prayers I wanna love forever but my heart can't take anymore abuse I'm not the clown and I'm not here for your amuse | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 9:10:27 AM | Walking through halls Couple holding hands in stalls Makes me envious and jealous i'm not the hand she's holding true Just a girl so beautiful I can call her name and she's in my eyes view Embracing touching kissing delights me but I have no one around I stumble for words and am often looking at the ground Would she like me for me Is there anything else I can really be Such confusion in a world of enough lies and games I try to seek comfort but it all comes out the same I just want someone for me In this world full of lovers I deserve my chance to be | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 10:59:31 AM | What was lost shall be found inside your heart Knowing you should have kept it from the start If we’re all on a ship sailing away Into the sunset each day While some of us are lost at sea There’s always a lifeboat you throw to me My saviour from the storm When the rain washes down and pours The water falls in your eyes tell of the paths you made I wish we were all birds to fly in the sky for all man’s sake Even when you know that’s why we kept apart The paths you’ve chosen left you down in the abyss of your heart Fly my child follow your heart You’re only tearing your soul apart Live each day with a smile It will bring you from your knees for a while The more you practice what you truly feel The more burdens and pains won’t kill What and who you really are Is showing like a diamond or shooting star Fall to earth where you’re truly blessed Give not into temptation and let your soul rest | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/2/2007 11:20:08 AM | My friend....these are all very very nice! Poetic you are...and feeling for sure! I admire your youth! Wish often I could go there again! Yet we cannot go back...just make it all something to last! A poem for you...my friend!
Upon this shore we cast our hearts many come...many part........ Know that in your tide of ocean lives will touch and then suddenly leave you! Always something rolls in again... a gentle Hi.....or love they send! Always know that in life....we cannot keep all the things that touched us deeply Miles and miles of ocean to go...... tides to come....and slowly roll out ....again Always coming back to you.... the Soul that brought them In! Just continue on as you......... try not to let the leavings Blue..... For this is the simple truth that lives..... loved ones come....we care...we give...... Just as simply as they came..... they leave ....and there we are ...again! Making us stronger...wiser...surer... of our fate.......we smile and suffer! I wish and hope that all you need..... comes to you...and plants a seed..... Let it come...let it go.... For only the strongest heart can know..... All it meant...all it showed... all you learned.....in the long hard road!

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/5/2007 7:45:39 PM | No matter the distance no matter the cost I'll be with you till all is lost No matter the wars no matter the tears shed I'll be with you till my last blood has bled As long as there is breath from my lungs I'll be with you till the chorus is sung I need you like fire needs heat Our bodies pressed there's no need for sleep With you I feel none of the world's problems affect our love I feel at peace and harmony like Heaven is smiling above There's no longer what's right and what's wrong As long as you know our love will always be strong | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/5/2007 8:55:40 PM | The crow beckons to rise Deep in your grave you awaken from your slumbery tomb to call upon the crow's eyes The crow sees, feels all, knows all even what you kept private to you The crow will stalk you down with justice in his view Beware criminals of the night Fore their is a new brand of law in sight You think your safe in your quivering bed The crow is immortal already dead Bullet by bullet you try to shoot out through his heart The crow smiles not giving it a thought One by one he drags your carcass through the streets No one is safe if you're with evil he'll hack you like a piece of meat Sleep well children the crow protects us all from harm If you intently hurt others you need be alarmed | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/6/2007 12:07:49 AM | lberserkerl....These lines were so beautiful.....sigh yes it is always inside us after all...
What was lost shall be found inside your heart Knowing you should have kept it from the start
Drifting and floating in a purple haze I long to hear your voice just once more feel your touch, laugh with you dance the dance of love
Whispered words in the moonbeams the language of lovers entwined unspoken moments in time I yearn to recapture them
You are there and I am here but I want you to feel my heat touch my heart with words melt my skin with your voice
The tingle in my blood of endearments in the dark feeling your voice caress me setting my frozen soul aflame | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/6/2007 1:17:04 AM | Ty lacrymosa always good to hear other pros comments on my poetry especially when you like mine :P
If there's a vision what do you see Is it true is it meant to be Often I ponder if this girl in my dreams is real If she is she's mine can I touch her to feel Scarred that she'll run away from my arms Maybe it's just a dream but I mean her no harm Several girls come into my life all at one time Should I give them up to a dream that may not be in line Do I have a destiny with this woman to be Or is she a shadow emotion not meant to see If I could I'd give her my soul For I trust her in every way she's not made of coal | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/6/2007 3:30:36 AM | Sheltering hearts whisper in the wind When will it be time for my love to begin Is it with an old friend or old flame or new Sun shine even though my love is never through I often wish on hearts of glass Begging for more love to come atlast Am I in focus Do words turn you away like a locust It's how I show you all I can care Just watching and waiting you might've always been there I often pray to the moon that you're under the same light wondering where I've been With me angel there is only light forget all the sin Does the average man want to be with you too I'm very vague on that cause I want to be your lover thick and through Shelter me in your arms lemme know you love me again Before I pass away a broken man who lived in sin | |

| Give me a gander Posted: 10/6/2007 4:02:07 AM | | lberserkerl, you have a wonderful talent, thank you for sharing. | |
|
| Give me a gander Posted: 10/6/2007 8:57:34 AM | Guys girls i'm gonna attempt to make a song suggestions praises appreciated Keep in mind it needs a beat
Close your eyes open them up to the dream World of fantasies and all that they seem Close your eyes awaken them brand new Life is the bounty we all sung through
Is your heart trully open or do you leave me in the clouds There is no love without you I know it somehow If this is more than a dream awake me from my pain And drift away with you out like the rain
I'll work on it more later it's open for topic for now | |
|
| Give me a gander Posted: 10/8/2007 3:23:59 AM | I came her for inspiration and maybe a view I didn't come here to see a war going through Hopefully the ones that care see my point of reason While the wicked like the witch grow out of season Spoiled rotten lil punks who don't deserve to share the same air For my friends I will always be there | |

| I'm back after my "Vacation" Posted: 10/14/2007 12:47:24 AM | Wrote this when I was 16 decided to post on someone's thread and now I'll put it on mine
Last One Standing
A twisted death A solemn kiss Left alone In this abyss My empty void Fills me whole My Ecstacy Has never fold My heart is bleak I twist for comfort And never sleep I'm not alive Yet I'm not dead I am forever gone to the planet No one cares My life is spent I travel on I'm born again This time alone | |
|
| I'm back after my Vacation Posted: 10/14/2007 11:13:09 AM | A lovely poem my friend! Just know you will read this again...and again! Reminding you of a time so sweet! Memories for you to keep! hugs jules | |

| Who'm I to be with Posted: 10/20/2007 1:18:13 AM | Was it the girl I held in my heart all these years Someone new and exciting for my heart dispite my tears Was I meant to be with a troll And we live under a bridge or a grassy knoll Does the sands of time hold my fate of who to love out of my misery Surely with my heart I deserve someone out of this world just extroidanary Or does the gods fear my pressence and shift my fate to be just alone I hope for a just god, I love him dispite my heartache but I hope he has a wonderful future for me untold | |
|
| Who'm I to be with Posted: 10/23/2007 6:25:02 PM | Hiya B., thought I would stop in and say Hi!
Have you ever felt like life let you down? Although you have tried....again ...you failed? Like the hope has all trickled and fallen within? Like your mind is a spinning web of where to begin?
I think sometimes this may be what it takes..... To get me to sit up ...pay closer attention Like the windstorm of knowing is lost in the sea! Yet with all the storm ....peace comes back to me!
If any of this makes sense.....I shall pray....... I am looking upon a new found lovely day! Just to leave the moment and renew my soul Find the dream .....that awaits me ....my hopeful goal! | |
|
| Who'm I to be with Posted: 10/24/2007 7:51:48 AM | Sometimes it isn't only my fellow women who give me strength When a man can be soft, there's enough to give thanks Sometimes I categorized all weeds the same way And then forget to admire the plantain that lay Amongst the grass and the other weeds Who's cures for cuts and pains and other ills Was always there to be cherished and seen | |
|
| Who'm I to be with Posted: 10/24/2007 7:58:02 AM | Ty Jules for understanding. And ty Jess... Almost sounds as if you admire me :D.
Should the distance be worth the cost To find love anew from what was lost Do the lillybuds dance and grow astare While the roses we're always there My friends a true garden of delights You keep me warm all through the nights I hope I find one like you all in this game of lies And pray not for a witch that I would dispise | |

"What do people fear the most? Is it the inner desire to achieve what they can't see? Is it the dreams of man that envy the gods to force each other into oblivion? One thing is for sure, man will never realize his destiny unless he wakes from his dream."
Lemme hear your thoughts on it
Perhaps some thoughts in a poetic response if you'll forgive my stealing your words to fill the last three lines ... I would certainly be keen to see your book if it's been published and do please feel free to use this poem in any of your future publications since it was inspired by your quote ... cheers, JR
Sometimes I wonder where is my life taking me through mountains and rocky streams. In quiet meditation solitary contemplation facets of life never what it seems experiences are sent to teach me I feel Angels reaching out to set me free yet still I withdraw and retreat into dreams Country music plays on my stereo Words spill from my pen again and again rambling thoughts inside a mind that screams Then one rainy day a man passed my way dropping these words to me, in his eye a gleam "One thing is for sure," he said "man will never realize his destiny unless he wakes from his dream."

| Peace was made Posted: 10/25/2007 4:01:26 PM | There was a battle on the poetry threads I visit. All it took was two women to talk about losing their children for peace to endure.
Machevelli (sorry might be spelled wrong) once wrote ...... "Is it better to be loved or feared" I believe aswell it's better to be feared. However a tyrant is never loved unless they show one act of benevolous.
This goes out to all of us merging t0gether as one for the common goal. | |
