Whatever happened to morals, respect and old fashion?
Posted: 5/25/2009 9:47:14 PM
I would say it has to do with the break down in religion in families. What we are teaching our children in the homes and what they see happening in every day society. It's about what we believe is right and wrong, and face it.. not much phases us anymore.

That's just what I believe however, I have nothing to offer as support of my theory.

Raw


I left you today.
I chose to walk away rather than live
in a destiny that makes my heart quake.

I suffered one last glance behind me,
dreading to see the pain in your eyes.
The bleeding of your broken heart.
Turning into the many pieces I appointed it
when I set about planning my departure.

You wonder where I drift to,
as I move along, with the debris of a decaying life.
Thinking me unscathed by our days and nights together.

The sands, blowing across the desert, burn my skin.
Im raw.

*smiles* I dont feel I'm being put into any category. I'm sure none of you are either.

Am I serious about meeting someone? Yes, I would like to. Am I in a hurry? No, not particularly. I have a lot on my plate at the moment. Would I make time if the right person attracted my attention? Yes, I believe that would happen. Am I less serious about finding someone because I have "friends" listed as what Im looking for? No, I believe you have to be friends first, before you can fall in love. I also do not believe I will meet someone on here and fall in love before I get to know them. So.. friends are what Im looking for. I can go on dates with friends. So that area is covered too.

As long as we arent told we have to pay to write to one another, or to post on the forums, the gold membership seems harmless. I am pretty sure big fish ment no slight and Im pretty sure ya'll are mostly just pokin fun. *smiles* .

If I seem a bit over serious in my own responses. Im tired, forgive me. Im working a lot, and trying to get through school so I can start a new career. Im going to be flying to Hawaii in may to see my son, meet my daughter in law, and with any luck.. hold my new grandson. I hate flying and Im stressing about the trip.

Today, the sun came through my window.
Hot and penetrating, it came to open my eyes,
yet I wished to remain asleep.
Unforgiving of my late nights and wild life,
it poked me right between the eyes.

Tomorow my eyes may be blinded to the light once again
How can it ever forgive me?

I don't love you and it'a too late to walk away
I know each day you wait for me to join you
and I can feel myself cringe inside because I don't want to be there

I don't feel good about accepting your kisses
your kindness and loving words burn my heart
because although I care about you deeply
my heart and soul long for someone else
for a love that will just never be

Maybe I'm wrong in the eyes of many
for letting you hold me in your arms each night
for saying the words I know oyu want to hear
I do so because I don't want to hurt you
but my own deciet leaves me weak with self loathing

I don't love you, and at this point to walk away would hurt
Not my pain, I would deserve all of it and all I have gotten already
but to hurt the heart and damage the soul of one who loves me so openly?
I may burn in hell for my lies, but I won't take you with me.

Im sorry I don't love you, I would if I could
I would whisper sweetly into your ear and make you smile
I have tried, I have attempted to clear my mind of all but you
but it is my heart that keeps betraying me , making me ache for another

I dont love you, but if it makes you feel better, now I dont love me anymore either.

Not for forever can you be a pup

thinking that you know it all
and your old mom has dropped the ball

eventually you'll see the light
and maybe then we will cease to fight

about this and that and all you'll see

To I never knew. :smiles: I wouldnt suggest you go quietly at all. I just have noticed as well, not just myself, but others who have become less noticed.
I think the smile will be the perfect answer. Not only will it make people notice, but it will lighten your own heart.

As for the writers block.. lol.. oh yeah, been there done that, and revisiting it again.

Which is why I find myself in the middle of a poetry forum, with nothing proper to post. Forgive me.

I havent seen a thread yet where the "Gold label " members are saying how superior they feel. Only a thread bashing people for doing what they want with their money. It's their choice.

I do have to wonder though, if this isn't the begining of the end for the free site.

Is it life thats all messed up,
or is it just me and my tangled thoughts?
Do I have to keep making the wrong choices
is fate turning its wheel against me?

life seems so complex as it passes me by with ease each day

as I keep screwing it up, digging the wrong holes
and falling in deeper

Ignoring the rope that is thrown down to help me out
I stubbornly cling to my shovel, thinking that is my rescue.

Maybe I should just lie down and pull the dirt back in.

closing my eyes, I feel you
your breathing hot against my skin
as your lips caress my neck
your tongue chasing fire across my flesh

Holding you this way is just what my body needs
but it is in my heart, my soul
that you cause the deepest bonds
twisting time into nothing but a memory

who knows anymore how long its been
perhaps its only been a few tomorrows after all
but my soul knows you and feels you
and my heart cries out for your love

we dont know if this will last a day, a week, or a lifetime
so I cling to you with all I am
as I let go of you to set you free into the world
and pray with my whole being, that you will come back to me and fill me again

curiously I search my mind
but the answers I seek are not evident
and if I ask a stranger for his thoughts
his words may not be those I want to hear

so my curiousity leads me no where
nothing around me being what I want
so searching becomes redundant
and I shuffle my feet slowly home again, home again...

Old Souls.......
Posted: 3/4/2009 10:19:12 PM
Mystic Souls

Within me lies the heart of the mystic
a soul searching for a life of magic
mirrored in a reflection of duplicity
and timeless wonder of a futureless gaze

Sifting through sands of comedic proportions
searching for lost souls put out like the end of a short smoke
crushed into the sands, burnt out on life
and deeply regreting missing the deep end of the pool

hoping to give life to a passage no longer traveled
by weary feet, or weary heart, or weary mind
time left to unravel, like an old sweater
long since past its usefulness but oh so very comfortable

as we drift and drift alonf the sea of hoplessness
and wish upon the stars fleetingly glimpsed
drawn in by eyes in the dark dancing with the magic
of a time, long long since passed, but maybe not so easily forgotten..

Will I seek the truth?
Even in words I do not want to hear?
will I wait for the ones spoken
that lead me to my greatest fear?

Or would I follow blindly
down a path my feet wish to tread
will I seek the truth?
even when its my heart that will be bleed?

If words could only come out
pleasing to our own ear
then yes, the simple truth
would be all we'd wish to hear.

But will I listen so eagerly,
if the sentences are not to my taste
would I turn away and let the truth
lay sadly left to waste?

As much as I wish I could
bury my head in the proverbial sand
Im afraid the truth is what I seek
and hope after it, I can , nay will.. still stand.

So go ahead and let it out
the truth.. let it fall from you
I shall listen now and through time
no matter what may be.. true.

Texting The New Game For Players
Posted: 1/30/2009 11:59:59 PM
Heres a clue for the clueless ones.. texting doesn't usually use up your minutes on the phones you have to prepay on .. and that's why some people will text more than talk, at least during the day time hours.. lol.

I dont have a problem with texting. It's the same as phone calls.. if Im busy, I don't have to answer, and at least with a text the message is right there, I don't have to call my messaging system first in order to retreive it. If it's generic texting, as long as the person Im talking with makes it clear they text to more than one at a time.. so what? You can tell when it's a personal message or not if you have that info up front.

I will say this for the topic, never talking just doesn't work for me either. I want to hear someone's voice once in a while too. If you're working on a relationship you need visial , voice , and physical contact, in my opinion.

Texting when on a date???? Not polite and I would either turn mine off or ignore them until later.

Hope everyones been well *smiles*

Each day, a smile to my lips
a new morning, a new start
and though I know it's fleating
and we are forever far apart

Each moment, a moment to treasure
time together feeling like it belongs
in my mind a peace and comfort
and in my heart, you plant a song

I know, each day as it passes
could easily be the last we will see
and I pray as long as this lasts
Oh Lord, bring him , each day, to me

Each night, as I close my eyes
no matter how weary I may be
I embrace the dreams I feel coming
so each day, again its you I'll see

does it require a moment in time
or a lifetime of feelings

How long till the emotions well up and fill your heart
spilling over the causeways of your soul
in an attempt to irrigate the words growing in your mind

How long will you deny

FOOL

It was the night, the soft firelight
which made me believe again

it was your touch, my need so much
that made us more than friends

it was your kiss, that made me miss
your hands on my skin each day

it was my tears, your lies, my fears
that broke my heart that one dark day

and yet I dream, of you it seems
and think of the things you said

I close my eyes, inside I die
and wish you were here in my bed

how can I say, why I feel this way
and desire your touch in our secret place

when the lies you told, so daring, so bold
brought the sting of teardrops to my face

I'd like to go, and tell you no
when you come calling at my door

but my heart aches, for the love you fake
as I let you into my life once more

and so eyes closed, once more I go
ready to believe all your lies

and some finall day, you'll walk away
all will see as this fool sits and cries

It was nothing once again
just a moment's held breath
time in a bottle, uncorked
pain in an ocean of hurts

nothing special once again
but you thought it was
as you always do, wishfully
wistfully wiping away the memories

sorry, knowing the truth doesn't make it easier
there is no wall to keep out the loss
no healing of a wounded and bleeding heart
when you continue to pick at the scabs

you almost believed you fool
shame on you

Dandelion seeds scattered
across the ground in one careless
whisper of breath... blown

weeds with no future
or flower for childrens delite
depends as always
on the eye, of the beholder

beauty lies in what we see
and how we see when we do
and nothing less than intolerance
of perceived wrongness can so blind
the young and innocent
to the flowers that grow..

Ive been exploring the forgotten halls of yesteryear in Old Souls and found this poem I wrote back in October of 2007. I firgured it was time I brought it home.

"Divorce"

I am no ones protege, you teach me nothing I do not know
The screams that rip from my throat are of my own doing
do not dare to claim the pain in my heart or anger in my soul
you are not the commiter of these sins, but just aother bucket of rust
dangling from the fingers of time as he walks by on his path of destruction

I made me, your contributions were nothing in the realm of things
and the future will be of my very own chosing, not your dreams
nothing you say or do will color my skies in the nightmares I deliver unto myself
is that damned enough for you? or do I still glow too much for your satisfaction

does the fire burning in the pit of my stomache make you wretch
knowing you did not build it and therefore can not put it out?
I hope you burn in your own deceit, just so I can watch you crumble
a pile of ash before the gods you proclaim have sent you to do their bidding

let it rip through you , the knowledge that I am whole and have risen above
the decay and stench that was to be our combining of souls
the act of becoming one that would of been my ultimate destruction
shall rot your brains and seal your trembling soul into the fate you so rightfully deserve.....

I stand for me and walk away from your screams.... laughing...

pity your self.

Below a field marred by blood
death ranging on both sides
did line themselves to once again
engage in fuedal tides

the warriors sat their horses
with backs as straight as an arrow
and looked upon their foe on foot
their eyes slitted to the narrow

their foe upon the bloodied ground
did stand and no fear did show
among them stood a giant of a man
with axe in sword to wield death's blow

no signal gave, yet death did surge
among the screaming fellows
as road the horses to meet the foe
the air ringing heavy with bellows

the giant stood his ground and waited
as death rode down to claim him
his comrades stood beside the giant
their faces set and made grim

for war tis dirty, bloody work
the work of many a men
and all among them knew in heart
that many would die in this glen

when titans clashed upon the field
and metal clanged and rang
the footed warriors called him out
the giant... by his name

his strength that of twenty men
his swung his axe and sword
and in that first fell swoop
beheaded the enemies Lord

and as the armies fought that day
and men and horse did die
the giant swung again and again
his name their battle cry

at end of day the war was won
upon the ground all dead
where the men who rode into the scourge
most missing a shocked and managled head

and in the middle of the field
stood a giant of a man
with one sword, and one axe
and blood dripping from his hands

and as all stood quietly in the wake of war
fields still echoing the battle cry
a butterfly landed upon his bloody sword
and their giant fell down.. and died

So lost
without you in my world
I drift.. and drift.. and fly
away
in constant circles
of pain, and astonishment

so lost, without you
