Dating or Friend site scams.... beware Posted: 12/27/2005 9:43:10 PM
I didn't give out my password or ever have to any site, but a few times in signing up for something it would pop up a screen that sure looked like the real site. And even if I did, that is not permission. Thats like saying when you let a stranger or salesman into your house then there allowed to dig through your papers. Thats a pretty dumb assumption. There's rules in our society, and these online sites break them all the time. Supporting them with statements like that just fuel the problem. But hey if you give me your account number i'm not going to drain your account, on the other hand I wouldn't trust you with mine.

I didn't sign up on the one that made me put up this post. I receive an email from a friend that was checking out the site and they were not aware that it sent out an email to all her friends. They should not be allowed to go into your email account without your permission, its that simple.

i've run into this before, you check out a site (not this one) and as you sign up they ask for your email address (innocent so far) then further on they say sign in to your hotmail or yahoo or some other publice free email service from the page they put up... They may add a line like tell your friends about us or something... but as soon as you put your hotmail account and password you give them full access to your accout. everyone who has sent emails to you and all the addresses in your address book. They then instantly send out emails to all these people as if it is from you which lets them get past any spam filters or such and they have full access to any personal info you keep in your email account. bank passwords, other email passwords etc... and they don't say that they are going to do it or ask permission of it. Do you think this should be allowed... I don't. Its invasion of privacy. So if any site asks your for this info to sign in to your email account and put in your password from their service.....DON'T Also if you ever get an email from anywhere that says sign into your account by clicking on the link they provide in the email.... DONT.. just go to the site yourself from the address bar of your browser. Any other method and you'll be giving away your passwords. Its dangerous in the cyber ocear... so be aware of the sharks

Should I be Scared? Posted: 10/23/2005 10:15:24 PM
Well, if you do receive any more nervious signs when you let this fish go... I'd say get a new username and start over again and if you have a pic be wary of any messages from men that seem simular to him... This may be blowing it way out of preportion but some people can't take rejection, so its better to be safe for you.

Did I offend him to the point of no return?? Posted: 10/2/2005 9:21:53 AM
I think you should stop blaming yourself. If he understands that that message came from his computer then he should take responsibility and apologize to you. He should track down the culprets and have a few words. He's not defending you well here. Another possibility is that by your words it did seem like he was maybe losing interest and didn't know how to say it, blaming it on work schedules and such. Then just using your reaction to the message as a way of blowing you off without being a real man and just saying it. Of course I could be right off base here, but if you've ever read enough of these posts and had a few blind dates or extended date experiences you find people just seem afraid to tell a person there not interested because they don't want to hurt their feelings. When in fact saying nothing or avoiding the person just makes it worse and the other person confused by trying to determine if they did something wrong as in this case. So I go with the idea that he is just not interested and don't think you did anything wrong. Its simple to me, if he was interested and knows you are then he would go to great lengths to resolve this. Since he hasn't, it shows he's not interested. move on, he's a little boy.

haven't seen too much new lately... sonnets I mean. Ok for those new to this thread, its about sonnets so try and restrict yourself to that form. We are here to explore the sonnet style and I know it may seem tough to follow the rules but you will be very please with yourself if you try. The Shakespearian sonnet has a beautiful flow when accomplished, so dare yourself and try it. rhyme scheme.... abab cdcd efef gg. 10 beats to a line with slight variations

private bookmarking vs favorites Posted: 9/1/2005 6:22:43 PM
no i wouldn't consider any of them at the bottom of a list. when your browsing its impossible to pick those interesting profiles all at once. its a matter of first come first served, and then it still depends on who contacts you back. So by random chance you just find the profiles and contact them also in that random order of who may contact you back first. You dont know if there still going to be interested after the coffee date or whatever date you have. But I think you should give the first to contact you back a fair shake before contacting everybody on your bookmarks. You might do that kind of juggling if your a player but i'm looking for something that leads to something so i'm not going for quantity. I don't think its a matter of rating the ones that are on the bookmarks its just random order, but it could be percieved that their on some bottom of a list. Who you finally hook up with might be the last one to contact you that you finally got a coffee date with, but that doesn't mean that they are your last choice. They all should be considered your #1 choices but unfortunetly you can't meet them all at once, so you send out a few messages and whoever seems interested contacts you, in the end its their interest level that makes you not go further into your choices and maybe never if your lucky to meet a great match early. Soooooo... by keeping the fact that they are one of your choices hidden, it stops hurt feelings that shouldn't be there in the first place. anyway hidden bookmarks I think are needed.

private bookmarking vs favorites Posted: 8/31/2005 12:55:45 PM
I made this suggestion before it fell deep into the forum. being able to privatedly bookmark a member without the member being aware of it would be helpful. If you see some members that your interested in but you don't want to contact them yet because your hoping the current one may work out but if it doesn't then you can contact one of the bookmarked ones. I've found on here that woman to like you to put them in your favorites list but not contact them, and they may react negitivly to being contacted after being in your favorites list for awhile. They think negitivity because you took so long to contact them as if they were at the bottom of your list. But some people don't like to attempt to meet to many people at one time. I would rather attempt to meet someone and if it works out then i'm not going to try and date more than one woman at a time, i'm not the player type. If it doesn't work out then you can try another from your bookmarks. I'm sure everybody see's a number of different people that you are attracted to and that you feel may match you, but untill I send them a message to initiate that first contact I don't want them to feel that they are in some kind of priority list and at the bottom. This will avoid any hurt feelings and give to a chance to meet someone from your list if another didn't work out. its not a priority list, just a list of members you found interesting but private to only you. Hope this makes sense.

Sonnet writing help Posted: 8/14/2005 10:09:39 PM
I found this on the web somewhere that gives a nice explaination of the Shakespearian Sonnet. Rhyme in the Sonnet A Shakespearian sonnet uses the following rhyme scheme: ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG. The Shakespearian sonnet, with its distinctive rhyme scheme, is perhaps more suitable for poets writing in English, where there are far fewer rhymes than there are in the Italian sonnet form. There are many variations on these two rhyme schemes, but these are the most common and provide a point of reference. Meter Sonnets in English are usually written in iambic pentameter. "Iambic" refers to the type of foot, or rhythmic unit, used (in this case, the iamb), and "pentameter" refers to the number of feet in each line (in this case, five). An iamb is simply an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, and iambic pentameter is simply a line five iambs long. The word "confirm," for example, is an iamb. And just as we stress a particular syllable within a word, we also stress certain words within a sentence. Consider this line of iambic pentameter by Sidney: "And this I swear by blackest brook of hell." Listen to yourself saying it out loud and try to hear where the accents fall. Not every line in a sonnet has to be perfectly iambic. In fact, it’s a good idea to vary the meter a little so that it doesn’t sound sing-songy or monotonous. A good way to do this is to switch the syllables around, so that the stressed syllable comes before the unstressed syllable. This type of foot is called a trochee. It is common to find trochees in sonnets, especially at the beginning of lines. This line of Surrey’s, for example, begins with a trochee: "Love, that doth reign and live within my thought." You can also add an unstressed syllable here and there to change things up, but, generally, there should always be five stressed syllables per line. A caesura, or pause in a line, and enjambment, or not pausing syntactically at the end of a line, are other ways to vary the rhythm of the poem. A caesura can slow down the rhythm of a poem, and enjambment can be used to speed it up. Putting It All Together You’re almost ready to write your own sonnet. But before you do, it’s always a good idea, in any field, to take a look at what others have done before, especially those who did it really well. In the sonnet below, written by Shakespeare, look for all the elements that you’ve learned about: the rhyme scheme, the meter, the number of lines, the subject matter, the shift in tone. Notice how Shakespeare has masterfully put it all together into a moving meditation on the impermanence of youth and the inevitability of death. The rhythm never seems mechanical, and the rhymes never feel forced. The sestet, and especially the final couplet, gives the reader a sense of conclusion—the treatment of the theme feels complete. The finished sonnet, as its author claims, is immortal indeed: "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." Now you’re ready to write your own sonnet. It can be difficult at first, but don’t be discouraged—even Shakespeare had to work at it! With a lot of practice and a little pluck, you’ll be serenading your lover or lambasting the powers that be in no time, and in a poetic form that will almost certainly endure for centuries to come. (so I hope this hasn't confused the potential sonnet writers too much, just go for it but try to follow the rules for this form...) PoetbyNight

How should I approach this? Please help. Posted: 8/8/2005 10:43:02 AM
I agree with coastergal, on this one. I haven't reviewed the profiles replying to this thread but I see so many members with the line ... No pic No reply. If you didn't have a pic at all then maybe he's from that group of people that want the fairness of seeing you if your seeing him. Most relationships start with the initial chemistry attraction befor they go to the next level of finding out who a person really is. Just because he says he likes big woman doesn't mean he likes them all, its still who he's attracted to. Without a picture he can only go by your profile, maybe there wasn't enough in it to get him attracted, or something turned him off because he didn't have a pic to create some extra chemistry. Anyway, he may not be responding now because he doesn't like being confronted. Did he really not remember who you were? who can tell. But you challenged him on it. It may have been a better topic to broach in public once you met, and do it in a humurous way. That way you can base his reaction on whether you like him stll. I hate deleting profiles without repliing and saying i'm not interested it just makes me feel I'm not respecting the other persons effort and compliment of sending it in the first place. It would be nice if more people would follow this ideal, of course it would also be great if the idiot guys didn't respond with mean and hurtful replies when their being rejected politely. Hey its not a perfect world here. If we approach this type of dating in a negitive way then its just going to end up being a negitive experience. Don't fret the loss of one bad boy but also give people the bennifit of the doubt. Read deleted doesn't always mean their not attracted to this person, it could mean I just don't have enough info or chemistry to want to find out at this time. Anyway don't take these rejections as a negitive thing it will just bring you down. Just learn from them for improving your fishing technique. James

also by saying "no hard feelings from me" is not an apology. Its just a way of saying the other person is at fault when you did the original insulting remarks.

Putting down people and insulting them with negitive critisims is also an abusive trait or don't you know. Just because someone is hoping that the bad signs that they ere seeing maybe just miss understanding does not give you the right to call these woman stupid. Maybe an apology is needed here. But maybe your the type that doesn't think they need to apologize no matter how harsh the words are. The way you wrote that reply is no different than saying, I should slap some sense into you people, or can't you see that. P

Bumblebee... alot of good support here... heed it. after what I read, it sounds like he gave you enough to get interested in him and them played with it, or he was juggling a few. (which is another possibility) I'm not sure that I agree with the book tie in's here... you two haven't even met. The reality is that sure you can get a virtual connection over the net or phone or land mail or email... but until its consumated with a live meet it means nothing. So I don't think the book relates fully to people who haven't met. Its really hard to take something seriously if there just words on a screen. People have to meet or its just conversation and just maybe wishful conversation at that. I've heard so many stories where people were communicating for weeks, months and then and they believe that they love each other and they have to meet more then anything. They talk about their future, living together plans and even marriage. Then they meet and in the blink of an eye, they look at the other person and say I don't know this person and never talk again. It happens all the time. The physical chemistry is the major umpire in this game and if it doesn't happen at the final first meet, its 95 percent plus that its over. If you two had met, who knows maybe it would have been the right mix and wow. Some people can be realistic and not let too many emotions get involved in this courting until that meet. Some let all their emotions get involved and get hurt if the meet doesn't work or they never meet. Maybe he's just not too serious until then. Don't get me wrong i'm not supporting him. He should have respected you and been up front about whatever he's doing until you meet. Maybe he's a candy a... and is afraid of the meet, it can be a scary thing. But because he didn't respect you got these last minute cancellations its a sign, don't give him the time. If you want to meet him, then just tell him that your not satisfied with his interest level about meeting and that you don't have time to talk email or live anymore but you'll give him the chance for a meet, (soon) or to hit the road. No more talking no more emailing ... set the time and place and be there or hit the road for good buddy. One chance one oppertunity and thats it, tell him to check his schedule carefully, no foul ups, no cancelations, just the one oppertunity. within two weeks. If he can't do that for a simple meet, (not a date) to find out if there is chemistry then don't ever bother you again. boy am I long winded. how many times did I say the same thing....lol

Would anybody feel at ease givin a trust issue scenario??? Posted: 7/30/2005 8:40:49 AM
being friends with ex's is one thing but while in a relationship his bedroom is your bedroom only unless your both not in it. Any guy that keeps harping on the idea of needing to be trusted should not be. Your instincts are working well here, follow them, his attempt at changing this is a method of control. Actions speak louder then words. His dumping you is also a way of trying to control you by putting you off balance, why should he care, he's got lots of women in his bedroom incase he needs some consoleing. Men only need one type of consuling, I know i'm a man, we think too often with the wrong little brain. He's playing on your emotional state, don't let him, don't take him back. he's a player, its painted in his actions and words in neon.

Sorry, I just don't find you attractive Posted: 7/30/2005 8:26:05 AM
the problem with life is that we are all car buyers and when we walk through that used car lot even though we see a for saie sign we may still move on because we know what we want to drive. Hey that little blue car might drive real nice but it didn't catch our eye so we don't even want to take it for a test drive. Its not about that lonely little car its about what we want and not too much can be done by that little car to change that. Alot of people don't want to admit the reality of life. We are physical beings, everything about our life is viewed from physical input, so we make alot of judgements from those physical inputs (although probably not very well). I'm sure alot of great relationships are being missed because we put too much value in our first impressions or examination of a photo. Unfortunetely we are being taught by society to judge a book by its cover, thats the way marketing works. Its not fair but thats the way it is. So what do we do, we play the game, we change our photos, we change our ad, we learn what works with these car buyers and present it to them. Shine up our paint job, add a little flash to our personality, and maybe if were lucky that cute little car buyer might take us for a test drive and like it or they may come back a few times and find little interesting things about the little car and maybe take out an extended loan on it. lol So do something different and standout from the rest of the cars, this is a big car lot so be creative... Good luck another little used car.

The Coldest Heart Posted: 7/29/2005 11:41:47 AM
The Coldest Heart Is it the bitter cold or winter wind? That steals the heat from I and loves hot flame. This heart to be the victim of my sins; Before I found the light of kinder ways. Every warmth that touches these saddened eyes, Is welcomed with a sweet and gentle kiss. Too soon to cloud and freeze like winters sky; Now left are memories of moment's bliss. But you, the question of confusing dreams, Whose words may crack my cold and frozen night? You'll find a way to me through sewn seams, If sprinkled love within confetti white. So come to me and light this lovers dark, I know your touch will thaw the coldest heart.

Forever The warm wind blows this night with lonely sighs And summers grip holds dear this wondrous land But I do wish in haste these days rush by For warmth of heart will glow with hand in hand; A week or more this dream within your arms And nerves long gone help not to hold this wish My trust to fate that love waits from afar And you the gift of cupids arrows Kiss; Although I try to hold this dream in check Determined I will fly where north winds blow And nothing, save a crash and tragic wreck Will deny me, this need, this want, this goal. Till then I’ll sing the songs of summertime If you my love would be forever mine

longte... its not about being mushy or sentimental. Sure theres love, desire, lost love, pain of love, but pick any topic and write with an emotional purpose. Do you dare to try it, and try to get the iambic down... don't focus on the fact that it rhymes in a certain pattern because the sonnet is a whole package and not always that easy to fit together. :) Good luck, PS.... search on shakespearian sonnets to review, believe me when you get it you will love the result.

Denied The years have come to fill a decade full I cherish not the coming of its end These memories remembered take their toll New love that buds declines like fashion trends You were the one that gave my words their soul To germinate within a lonely seed A kiss, a touch, in baited breath they’d grow To live to give the romance life you see I’ve often wondered where the years have gone The swiftness of the wind propels my life I feel the touch of you in every song And whisper soft your name in waning light You are the one my heart will not let go And I wont ever kiss you darling Rose

What Voice Beguiles? Posted: 7/16/2005 10:41:29 PM
What Voice Beguiles? What voice has come to raise my dreary mood? So young of years but sweet with daring guile; That curve of mouth so close it pouts of brood This waif dares tease, to tease the dare, with smiles. Can she not see these years that wear with haste? This breath I take is rasp with times cruel care; Does wisdom gain where strong once held high rate? Or cruel is life to joke with voice so fair! The air is sweet with tastes of lilac scents, These knees may fail with just her whispered word; Oh my, the breath that raises bosoms vest, I'm caught as eyes do smile so sly, her nerve; Oh death delay beyond the coming morn, Tonight a song I'll sing, of love re-born.

yes try and follow the proper form when writing this type of poem. The challenge is to write your poem and fit it to form with proper meter or iambic pantamiter. I find that that is the touchest part. But the fun is in trying it and meeting the rules, each form of poetry has its rewards. Free verse or other structures and they all make you grow as a writer.

The Rose I Loved A tear I weep tonight, and your still gone, But this, that dream, that wish was long ago; And you my love, of yesterday live on, As I in pain, relive your heart gone cold. Where is the flower I once held at night? Whose face and flesh enslaved my inner soul; You were the one I kissed by starry lights, And lost to who and why I'll never know. I gave to you a love that should have lived, But now I know that flowers always die. You promised something you could never give, And covered it with sweet and pretty lies. But still the Rose I loved is in my heart, Forever to remain and never part. PoetbyNight (c) 2005

Snow Angel Sonnet The wind is here; the snow has come, cold heart, And I, a shadow in this drifting life; You were my inner crystal full and part, Tonight, I walk alone without your light. The snow has covered all that I once knew, But cold is not enough to numb this pain; I walk this lonely path in search of you, Although your life has gone and left this plane; The star's at least will be my guides tonight, Where ever they may lead I know not why? Away from that same spot you lost your life; Please take me to a place where I won't cry! I 'll lay and make snow angels like before, Oh dear, theirs yours a kiss from heavens door.

Irish Eyes Posted: 7/11/2005 9:02:50 PM
Irish Eyes As crimson streaks the sky and locks so fair, the Ocean whispers songs by Erin’s Shores. I dream of you each night in passions dare, to kiss those lovely lips so sweet and more. What stars see you on evening sparkled strolls? I watch you with my heart this song of night; Aurora paints those eyes an em’rald glow, I’ll sing of them and you to souls delight. I know your life is kept with him in trust; And I was just the passion for your night. But sometime since that touch of lovers rush; An ember grows within to burn so bright. I’ll wait to hope you read these Lovers lines, Since I have lost my heart to Irish Eyes. PoetbyNight (c)2005

Poems from the depths of your heart Posted: 7/11/2005 8:59:30 PM
Not I Be at peace, lone heart Nights wavering winds blow on Obscured gems of heaven shine Although hidden from moments now It is brief the pain of graying clouds Ignore nights-flashing cry, of torment Although eternity, seems the sun away Shiveriing wind oft’ is lone companion More familier then friend or love And less the harsh for trust in truth Willing when in comfort is need And abandonement is warmth of touch This foe being love, elusive to the ever seek A hearthy laugh may I, of destiny and fate The fool and the prankster of hopes lost Ha, and the dagger of death is faith in love Seek not the heart, for soul it has not! The devil being master, when weak its spark This tunnel does no end, without light's fire And joy brushes desire a hollow lament With passion the knock of the stranger And doth’ open the door of the weak Freed from the lonely, this brief of flesh. But hope, dear hope Held fragile with gossamer thread, The curse of remembered breath So dear in past, oh sweet memory Shallow, soft, whispered breath Louder then the rage of wind And sweet in melody of parting lips. But, so distant from now! Oh pain of this, what say? Companion to a fool and prankster? Down road of hopes lost? Hmmmm, sweet breath! Not I, NOT I. PoetbyNight (c) 2005

I am ... at this moment as I've always been thee enigma of championed hope the herald of victories conquest and justice to moral decrepitation I am... with certitude the mythic harbinger a simple feather from the angel of death the might against the abyss of chaos the dream lived within the uncertainty I am... of ancient memory and futures claim the spoke of truth and wheel of greatness the glory of all that is righteous and good the dilemma that spites the rage of darkness I am... a true shining beacon pure and untainted the cleanser of all that is wrong and evil sought by the moral filth but unreachable desired by the wicked but the prize of only One I am... forged of heart, and steel by the hand of light the shear force of order in the soul of man the unstoppable belief of good and rightness the true heart of the once and future King I AM . . . . .

Too much masturbation... Posted: 7/10/2005 6:36:21 PM
yes... quite the gizmo... it will cause you too much nerve damage if used in excess. Haven't you heard about the workers that use tools all day long and have to get wrist operations from the nerve damage caused by the vibration of the tools. Use your hands, fingers or borrow one of those other gadgets that come with a body attached.

How do you get an older woman to take you serious? Posted: 7/9/2005 11:22:02 AM
I can't read this whole thread, its getting to me.... I may be a little old fashion but I think a man at his age should be self sufficient and be able to take care of himself... He may be honest with what he wants but I don't believe there is honesty in his intentions. All I see is lazy assssssed male gold digger. He's just trying to hock into some money and hoping the senior kicks the bucket so he is well taken care of and on to the next one probably. There is nothing in the profile about the relationship its just all about what they have in possions to offer him. (bottom feeder comes to mind) I hope none of the bright and intelligent older ladies out there are so lonely that they may buy into this con, because thats my opinion in what it looks like. I may be wrong but i'm going to go with my gut feeling on this. BOTTOM FEEDER I have no respect for this type of person...

THE FOREST AND THE WIND Posted: 6/24/2005 11:59:27 PM
The Last Dory Its anchored there floating proud Creamy buff yellow, Painted fresh The last Dory, a beacon of history A symbol on the fisherman’s crest A hidden cove on the cold Atlantic Barely visible as the tall ships pass White slat board houses line the shore Imitation in crusted memories of the past Oak Island sits off in the distance A secret history, so the brochure says Treasure Island, I touch its shore in honor X marks the spot, laughs Capt. Kidd's ghost today Many a fisherman died in these waters Seen with the ghosts of long dead pirates They say the Dory’s have come home empty And tell these stories to children by candlelight These inlets and Islands still a smugglers haven Today the sea is no kinder then yesteryear The souls of Swiss Air flight 111 live here now Family’s wonder the fog of Peggy’s Cove with tears The waves of the north Atlantic are unforgiving And take the souls of the sea people as penance Cold water protecting the living life below “Yea who come, Be yea kind” a sign of menace The blood of these waters runs in my veins Many an ancient Islander came here The sea gifted them with its very own life A Dory carried these gifts home in fear Deep sea Trollers have killed this pride And the future with the death of the fish stocks A bright buff yellow Dory proudly floats alone A small red lettered sign honors its past in mock, “For Sale” PoetbyNight ©2000

Gallant Lyrics To Stimulate Her Mind Posted: 6/24/2005 11:57:53 PM
A little sad yarn, I hope to help in this quest. Eternity My Love I kiss the hand of love Under Moon before the morn The battle comes too soon Our love so newly born… The King has called me forth At Glamorgan for he, we stand The Saxons shall meet my sword And freedom for our good land Have no tears my dearest love Have no tears of dire thoughts For I'll return to your sweet arms I vow, though death be wrought Mount Baedan turns red today As swords of men are waved In grasses where they were laid Iron sang of death it made Walk forth on hallowed ground, Where whispers of death be found The hearts of Knights are there In the weep of maidens tears Have no tears my dearest love Have no tears of dire thoughts For I'll return this day, In your heart my love will stay Little had she known An arrow found its home Bent he on shaken knee He whispered his love to thee This maiden lay asleep Restless and weary with weep ..Lov, I am long for holy ground ..Be strong our love abounds Have no tears my dearest love Have no tears of dire thought My life has kept you free In Eternity I wait for thee PoetbyNight ©2005

The Fire Sonnet Posted: 6/24/2005 11:36:07 PM
The Fire Sonnet Oh Flame of love 'tis cruel you mock at me, And banish me from lusts I'll never know; But strong this blood so hot it craves of need, May soon be embers with the faintest glow? Oh fuel of want, where is the touch of dreams, This hunger aches at lovely eyes so bright; Dare to wish I'd be the fire that you scream! Again, Again, through every lonely night. And still I wait for one of luscious heat, Whose lips and thighs would melt the coldest bed; Are you afraid to taste this sinful treat? Or is your hunger ready to be fed? So come and light this flame of our desire, And lay with me to feed this inner fire. PoetbyNight (c)2005

THE FOREST AND THE WIND Posted: 6/23/2005 10:16:18 PM
The Absence of Light The crust of darkness seeps into the earth As the sun god RA claims his royal throne The mighty torch since eons of our birth Is dimmed by the minions of a sacred home Purity the gift of a kind and giving god Abundance the wealth, once never in doubt. Forsaken is the life, greed has lain to rot The garden of the light, ignore its silent shout Time rushes to prepare the royal wake, As the tears of the gods, gather on this night, Prayers from the heavens, as our air dissolves to space A God shines no more, in this absence of life.

The Kiss Posted: 6/23/2005 1:26:03 AM
The Kiss Today I spied the lips of Goddess Red So deep and full with want my mind gone mad The hours I could but swim within their bed And dare the gods to say that I not have! The living night has gifts n'er seen before This mouth has sought the goddess of the wind Who's full embodied lips not one ignores And I confess to crave this taste of sin Is sacrifice to be the bane I pay This mortal heart is weak inside of this To raise my sword today within the fray The madness I now live to have her kiss Is love not blind and reckless to the core, This answer I will get and maybe more.

The Blue Ocean (live recital) Posted: 6/23/2005 12:31:02 AM
(I was experimenting with doing this live and posted it at this site if you'd like to hear it recited with music, I hope you enjoy) http://piptalk.com/pip/Forum44/HTML/000180.html The Blue Ocean If you squeeze a heart so lonely will it bleed its sad red song does it sing a sorrowful melody with the oceans gentle throng I've boarded a ship of destiny black waters of ruffled silk the captain of numbing misery to steer her through the murk A light that never rises on horizons of distant dreams and a hope that lays more quiet then my pillow beneath the sea Lost in the shadowy places my moon with its icy beam sliver of silver memories it stabs my restless dreams I lean on the keel of searching for a glimmer that she may be there down through this tunnel of wishes on a ship in the tar of despair… When the sun ever touches this darkness I wonder if I will be there the cold and the deep I hear calling for a rest and escape from the tears If the heart is sung to its last drop will the pain of a love disappear or is torment the wind of emotion for the souls, in the ships On The Blue Ocean PoetbyNight (James Parker Haley (c)2000)

THE FOREST AND THE WIND Posted: 6/22/2005 10:21:53 AM
Earth Born (sort of sequal to Our Mother Earth 8 Years later) For Earth Day 2000. We watch the movies, from our space ship Homes about a place so few have known and we cry as they grow old and die.. they are the last of the Earth Born, left alive They teach us truth, they plead to the youth and they sing everyday, of a life gone away their are still 21 on the ship, Destiny's run and a few on the others, in our search for another... We sit in awe at their every word. the stories they tell about the humming birds and a strange little wonder, that makes us cry with brittle little wings, the butterfly. A lot was lost on that now barren rock, And the end came quicker, then they had thought Only a third of the ships had left, When the atmosphere was ripped from her caring grip. Most of the Videos and recorded images are gone, On wave number two, when they’d have come along, And all the embryo’s of all the precious life, That had died, when the gas created the long night. Wave number three, would have carried the Zoo’s Oh, I wished I had seen that funny little bird, Its… or, I mean.. it goes****a doodle doo…. I think their just joking, just being a fool. It was pollution and greed, turned the blue sky red, The oceans then died, all the fish were soon dead, And they said they couldn’t help it, lies of the dead, But the Earth is still quiet, so silent, and so dead… They are the Earth Born, the last from our home, They make us laugh, with songs, of rain on the corn, The snow in the mountains, the sands on the shores, The grass on hill and dale, that feeds the cotton tails.. It makes us all sad, to know it’s all gone. But, we remember the stories, they sang in their songs, And, we write it all down, with a grin and a frown, they really are the last of the Earth born ones. As they pass in the night, they give us their love They say that their soul will encircle, the Earth from above And in time it will rest, in rebirth we all trust, The last of the Earth Born, the last of their blood.

THE FOREST AND THE WIND Posted: 6/22/2005 1:14:29 AM
(something I wrote and decicated for earth day a long time ago thought it might fit here) Our Mother Earth 45 years since we left our home and traveled the dark and empty night A million ships, a billion strong searching for a home to end our flight. Worlds and Worlds have come and gone not one was ever right Oceans of tar and toxic gas the horror of their sight. Where is the blues and emerald greens white puffs to roam the sky The morning songs of chickadees before the sun is high. With ozone gone and acid rain the cancer from the sky We cut the trees that helped us breath Murder is our crime. Without remorse, Our thoughtless Course meant death would come in time Now gone for good, The World of Birth the sweet, the innocent, "Our Mother Earth" PoetbyNight (c)1992

Poems of Passion Posted: 6/22/2005 1:05:15 AM
One Day When I Discover One day when I discover The stars have grown old And you're no longer my lover Life is just so very cold Life is just so very cold Winter numbs my waning breath The stars have grown dim And you're no longer in my bed Night is my silent sin Night is my silent sin Frail in my intagliated robe The stars have grown hard And you're no longer near to hold Dreams are tears of a poet bard Dreams are tears of a poet bard Death is the exit of a failed life The stars have grown black And you're no longer my sweet wife If I could turn this cursed clock back If I could turn this cursed clock back One day when I discover, you left me for another.

Kiss Me but Once Posted: 6/22/2005 12:53:36 AM
Kiss Me but Once If you could know the soul within the Sea, That saw the light of life in pastel eyes; Whose heart now lost to one who knows not me, Dare I, but show this love from hidden guise? The day may come that I may brave this dare, and drunkenly may talk in stuttered ways, to fumble at the sight of lips so fair, Oh hope, you do not laugh, of this I pray. A kiss, a kiss is all I want and dream; Tis, but a simple gift to part, my dear. For it would be like soft and supple cream, And not so bad that you may shed a tear. So here I am as brave as fools can be, Kiss me but once, before I run and flee. PoetbyNight (c)2000
