Posted: 4/30/2008 7:48:42 PM | But, ah!, to get back on it; to get back on the train!
To live, to breathe, is to see again!
It's akin to feeling the breeze upon your face,
to being with one and experiencing and appreciating that all is unique,
to be able to see the path for the trees, to see the world at an apogee.
To see creation pour from pen to paper, to take note and gather further,
to go with the transference of vision to prose,
to probe down dark avenues of mind and light where it goes,
and I feel it flow - it’s a joy, a wonder.
You feel it seep into your skin and connect somehow to something deep down within,
As it probes the world around you in escalating ways,
(and of those within you, though sometimes it fades), for sometimes,
it's with you for precious seconds and then...
or be around like a would-be lover; for days,
as you feel its pillow against your back, as well as its gaze.
But though you might well know, it disappears so,
yet in the back of your mind, pit of the stomach or small of your back,
you know it'll return,
elastic-like (as though it never left!), some way down the track.
So don't be a fool, don't be sad,
Don't stay idle for something you had.
Life is for living and this world (and others) is what you make of it,
which can be a precious thing so bide your time and be sure not to break it.
I know worries beset you while around you others enjoy,
and deep down inside you know negatives of any kind no one should employ,
So take stock, take heed,
for your wounds they do not bleed.
For your time will come (again) as it did before…
But isn't it nice to see it around you, practically knocking at your door?
Maybe it's there already, provided you know where to look,
And how to use it and for what...
Take heart, of life take a healthy bite!
Breath in the outside when inside needs insight,
add colour to scope and do not collide;
Yet life is that mountain on which we sometimes slide.
Throw true your arrow, strike the mark,
intuition knows when to strike in the dark.
Be the best of who you are, eat well and travel far,
I know you know this well,
maybe in some other detail,
But sometimes it helps to gather wind in your sail,
so sail on, on that unique heading and pollinate the sunsets of tomorrow.
You're the precentor, it's a wave of precession; it's precognition.
Perception. Precipitation.
Dust yourself off for presentation.

Posted: 5/3/2008 7:17:09 AM | | Adam ... your poem is great from what I can see ... I don't think there's a wrong way to write, especially if you write what you're feeling, seeing, thinking, etc ... it's all in the type of poetry you like ... keep up the great work ... Hg | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 11:08:44 PM | Adam ... this is one of many poems I have written & is also on Old Souls (you can read a few of what I have put on starting on pg 179) ... I usually write what I'm feeling or thinking at the time -- it's not what everyone likes as I also use rhyming most of the time ...
The mysteries of life are unknown,
To those who can not see.
But somethimes this gift we are shown,
Are so others see how life should be.
This mystery may be my first one,
And for others two or three.
It's special gift is never done,
And has been passed on to you and me.
When you looked into my eyes,
That reached to my heart,
Did you see the love inside,
That wanted to make it start?
Did you hear it beating,
Whenever you came near?
This chance of us meeting,
Was life giving us a steer.
It's rhythm was so fast,
That it wanted to jump right out.
So you wouldn't just walk past,
It started to sing and shout.
So when life's music you hear,
Makes you want to dance,
You'll know my heart beats clear,
Reach out and take a chance.
Just take a breath and grab my hand,
Be sure to hold on tight.
If you do I'll understand,
And from me there will be no fight.
So when life seems like a mystery,
And what you feel is strange,
Just know it's part of history,
That tells you it's time to make a change.

Really liked that one HG.
Do you find yourself going back to ones you have written (depending on which one(s) it/they are/is? (God, what a messy sentence?!) Or do you leave them how you found them, so to speak. Probably a mixture, right? Sorry for the bad english!!!! | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 6:49:42 AM | Not sure what you mean with "going back"? ... do I go back & read them? - yes - time & time again ... do I go back & change things then use it as a new one? - not usually ... Once I write them, do I go back & change things before keeping it as a final? - yes, I won't keep it as a final until it says what I'm actually trying to say ... however, some times I will use some of the same words in another poem ... by the way, the english is fine ... sometimes after writing a poem I'll look at it & ask did I really just write that -- funny how one can write & not realize it was inside you just waiting to come out ... I just find a lot of people don't know how to take what I write & it's meaning ... for me it's a way to find answers to what my mind is sometimes questioning ...
In our life, there are no mistakes ...
Only lessons to be learned
with the help of those we allow to come in and out...
We take what it is we need to know, and give what we can, discard the unnecessary...
Knowing that everything happens for a reason ...
Like the elements of earth, water, air and fire on this planet, so is the body...
We are here for a reason ... each learning, taking, giving and receiving ...
And when the reason is acknowledged, there our passion will be -- mind, body & soul ...
Letting the light shine so others can see ... some will lead, others will follow ...
We must open our heart to the universal love that exists ... so we can fullfil our part of the journey in our life....
For we are all truly needed in healing ... wherever we are ....
Look and you will see ... Listen and you will hear ... Seek and you will find ...
The door is open for each one to do their part, loving from the heart ....
The joy that follows will take away any pain you may endure ....
Universal Love --- unconditional ... free to give and receive as needed ... Hg | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 1:01:30 PM | NO! Thank YOU GUYS ! : )
Glad you liked it!Every time I read it I get a knot in my chest and a lump in the throat! How did you guys feel when you read it (several times)? Confused? I know that it changes course halfway through. But whenever I am feeling down and trodden on, I read this and I get that knot and lump again! But strength, too! | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 6:43:45 PM | Hello Adam,
You'll find that no matter how many poems you write, when you go back & read them they still will affect you the same way as the first time -- at least for me it does ... each person is different though ... I'm always surprised at what comes out when I write & you will too ... all the best ... you're on the right track ... Hg | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:34:34 AM | Yeh, know what you mean, HG.
If they are well written! I mean I look at some of mine that I wrote when I was in the depths of despair etc and I go UUURRRGHHHH!!!! Others, like Equi, yeh, for sure the feelings are still there.
Thanks for the encouragement, HG!
Keep on a-writing, ya-all! | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 10:12:02 AM | A very postive write without a doubt, with a sweet flow that has the reader wanting to read on. Well done, hope to see more. I do agree with Whysper, your style very much reminds me of "Truth's", which is definitely a good thing, yet you have your own as well.
Good luck with your thread,

I was thinking about putting some others on but I don't want to be seen as being full of myself! (I was thinking of how to do Elmer's laugh but couldn't!) | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 3:24:38 PM | Your welcome...
It's your thread
to do with as you like
you stand there as our host
holding your own mike
this is your place
where your poetry you leave here
helps us to distinguish through your words
what within your heart you hold dear.
Doing the Elmer laugh would be a toughie I bet!

Posted: 5/14/2008 3:27:06 PM | | Adam ... don't think about doing it, just do it ... it's you, it's who you are, it's what you enjoy ... no one will see you in the way you're thinking ... & if they do, they have a problem, not you ... you write, that's what you do & never mind what others think ... ...

He slowly coiled in his hand the power cable of the land.
‘From where I stand, I mark my shield!’ said he.
‘Those who dare shed ignorance to knowledge and challenge my rite!’
But no one came forth, all stood still, like fenceless posts on the brow of a hill.
He scanned the souls of men, he was sure he felt his challengers' presence,
his enemies pose, therein. But maybe it was not so, maybe it was a ruse,
maybe he was indeed all powerful, and on this land had settled his bruise.
In the air there hung a whisper, an echo of that morning so violent.
Blood was spilt, and anger shed to the light of days,
the twisted demons of Man had played under the sun.
Many souls were guided by that days strong light,
buy only a few from their thousands will walk home tonight.
To settle in foreboding, shall they forever be hampered by that day?
Yet He never wasted time, fearing time may waste him.
And he set forth to another battle, on his worlds’ outermost rim.

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:28:08 PM | | HG, just wanna say . . . . thanks for that. It's just I haven't had encourgaement, right from when I was 10, when I first started. The folks have tried, but, bless 'em, they haven't a clue, you know? And I have got into that habit where I try to plese others by trying to blend in with how they see me . . . .it's pathetic, and it something I am fighting against, but like anything worthwhile, it takes time. Again, thanks HG. (Nearly wrote HRG there, HEROES style!) | |
