Thanks for posting that Friend. it's funny... Last weekend I wrote a poem about butterflies and obscurity–with a different concept embedded, I think... mine is about the advent of artistic recognition. I love your poem Friend.

Surprise

It is summer time
and every butterfly you ever saw—

pairs of them, dancing in the meadow,
delicate, pensive ballerinas, upstaging the dandelions,
clouds of them rising
from the gold-spun bush-grass at sunset
or flitting to safety between the roots in
the creek bed wall—

was once a chrysalis
waiting,

transforming
in obscurity

Here's another silly one that I wrote about me as a poet (sorry for being so narcissistic.)

Not an Entertainer

I’m not an entertainer
I’ve never been that way
I shy away from bright lights
I’m slow to have my say

That doesn’t mean I’m speechless
I rarely stop in fact
It’s just that I prefer
A private tête-à-tête

I hope that I’m amusing
At least from time to time
But humour’s not my strong point
I’m seriously-inclined

Intensity’s my second name
And Earnest should come next
If ‘deep and meaningful’s’ what you want
I’m probably the best

My modus operandi
Communiqué of choice
Is poetry and prose ‘my dear’
(I use a florid voice)

I’m rather fond of adjectives
And sentimental notions
I like it when I sound profound
And write down the quotation

Archaic wording woos me
Romance of days gone by
I know it’s not contemporary
But I tend to croon and sigh

So if my art’s not popular
Not witty, chic or dry
I hope at least it’s touching
To the odd passer-by

(hug ) dim ty for liking it. it's about how we hide who we are to the world, except to special friends or relatives. the world is harsh, and so we all put on our facades to try and fit in as best we can, but often what we show is very different than the person we actually are.

i love yours about the butterflies and the surprise at the end. and i am one of the odd passerbys i find your poetry very very good.

(hugs) to you fujon. your poem is so sweet :wub: i know what you mean about our universe rotating around that special someone who makes life worthwhile even the bad things are easier to bear knowing they are in our lives. i'm so happy to see you post a poem hope that muse continues to visit you and we see more from you :flowers:

 

[Pua]

Very nice poems everyone, thank you for sharing them :flowers:

 

[friend]

thanks pua

dim, this one's in response to your Not an entertainer.... giggles, for one who is:wub:

the performance


the sun above dances in time
moving with him, as he chants his rhyme
spinning below, he lands on a dime
his power over nature should be a crime
to kiss those lips would be sublime
as he crosses himself, church bells chime
angel wings reach out, and about him entwine
bringing out his glow, brighter than the sun's shine
the universe cannot hold back a perceptible whine
as he brings to a close his song, his dance, and his look, for a time.

TY, friend

:flowers:
You're too kind. I'm sorry, my english is not perfect...


...The Silhouette...

I see you.. like a gray smoke in the gloom
You have again risen near me,

In the speechless of the night in my room
Your silhouette standing in front of me..

I wish to hear your voice and to tell you about the love & care,
But I can't move and I'm afraid, you'll disappear...

The candles are glowing, their light sparkling in the air,
Please, don't be afraid, I'm here for you and I do care.

I sense your soul, I sense your heart,
You wanted be Loved.. but they rip you apart...
You was left with no choice, all alone with a knife
And how you used it, they gave a birth to the lie...

You trusted to friends, to a few, very dear,
We're always with you and never disappear.
Come to me, let me hug you and do you hear?
I hope, my Prayers of Help for you will be Heard!

[sweet princess]

TY Very Much everyone :flowers:



...On the edge... of the new beginning...

All alone lost in the darkness of the night..
Just the cold stars sparkling in the sky,
They're the mute witnesses of my life,
the one who knows everything: my love, my hopes and the wishes to die..
The cold wind gently touches my hair..
I hope you still thinking of me, loves me? If not, I wish to disappear...

The way I met you, I think it meant to be..
I heard your voice, I saw your smile and I was lost in yours reality.
The land of sweet love and a deep care, it all blew my mind like a fresh air..

No matter where you go or where you're,
I flying around you like the Moon around the Earth & Sun,
You're the Life and the Light for me, all in the One.

You're my center... without you.. I'll disappear, too...

Looking at the night sky...
Should I pray for life or better to die?

My thoughts and emotions are frozen inside.
Sometimes they drop and break like a glass or an ice,
small pieces... sparkling.. like the stars on the sky...

The night is gone.. I see the sunrise...
Your smile popped up in my mind at once..
My thoughts are melting.. I leave space for hope..
Because, I believe, I'm Blessed to know You.

Beautiful.:clapping::wub:

 

[friend]

just read a heartbreaking story of a 2 year old in UK. too sad to repeat it here, but its making its way around the world now, so sure you'll hear of it soon... very very sad this is response to it. just makes me very sad. wishes there were no real little susie's.

you will remember me


you walked by my cradle
and you did not rock
i cried for attention
but you took no stock
covered in sores
that you did not balm
when i fussed too much
i tasted your palm
my tummy so empty
that you would not feed
my diaper so soiled
that you would not clean
the angels entertained me
when no one else would
and saved me from Hell
when no one else could
you were my mommy
you would not love me
i have been released now
but of me,
you shall never be free.

 

[Poefiend]

^ that is so very sad its awful how people
abuse kids and animals it gets my anger out!
one day they will have to answer for those deeds! :yes:
ty for posting that and caring about a child
Good poem Friend HUG

 

[friend]

(hug) back poefiend. ty for commenting. yes the story of the child was very sad. one of the worst i've ever heard. tonight she's in paradise. God bless her little soul.

 

[Poefiend]

Yw yes It saddens me when children are abused
and or done away with. Life is so precious to me
I know she is in a better place. :yes:

 

[Lorraine]

On this day of love I want to express
The love, Joy and happiness you bring
How no one else can compare
for you my dear are truly one of a kind
Your heart is one of pure gold
Which is more precious to me than you'll ever know
I thank God for each and every day I have you in my life
And for sending to me someone as special as you are.
So on this Valentines day and each day all year through
I just simply want to say from my heart to yours.
I Love you.

[Dimity]

Beautiful poems Pua and Lorraine. Friend, yours was very sad. I have heard too many tragic stories lately about children. I pray that God's angels take them to peace more swiftly than we know, when their time of suffering is upon them.

Here's one that I wrote recently.

Love without Trust

Love without trust is
An orange without juice
A shell without a hermit crab
Relationship without intimacy
Wrapping with no present inside
An empty house
The deepest insult
Blowing a kiss to a blind man
As authentic as a circus clown’s smile
A bandaid on an amputation
Shrivelling decay
A tunnel of locked doors
A fait accompli

 

[Poefiend]

Nice poems everyone
My muse needs to come back
and help me create again?
Thanks for sharing!

 

[Pua]

Thank you Dimity and Poe :flowers:

I've been saddened lately by how incredibly STUPID the media is concerning Michael. I've heard commentators say the most ridiculous and judgmental things based upon tabloid rumours, and it angers me that people are so gullible and ready to believe the most outrageous lies. It saddens me because I know that Michael has a heart of gold, an exceptionally intelligent, sensitive and creative mind and such a beautiful body to house that courageous, compassionate, God-fearing soul of his.

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago. I am very grateful for how Michael has inspired me and comforted me through his music, his perseverance and his service to humanity.

The Shore Of Your Love

How many shipwrecked souls have been rescued
Upon the shore of your love,
Your guiding light—a beacon showing safe passage
Through the perilous seas of life
The illumination of compassion, tolerance, perseverance and forgiveness
Giving hope and direction to lonely hearts, lost and afraid—
Souls ravaged by persistent troubles, swamped by waves of remorse
Escaping the jagged barbs of abuse
Inundated with responsibilities.
And there you stand, raised up high for all to see
Giving courage to the faint-hearted
Inspiring awe in the adventurous
Your light shines in the darkness
Exposed to the tempest of an angry world
You are whipped by the winds of ridicule
Slashed by the merciless debris of gossip
Drenched with grief and sorrows
And yet you stand strong
Feet firmly grounded and eyes set towards heaven
You reflect the Source of your power

Though clouds so often gather to obscure your light
You glow ever brighter against the darkness
For the darkness cannot overcome the light
And those who find themselves upon the shore of your love
Are refreshed—their energies renewed
Prepared to face another journey.
Resting in the glow of your comfort
Their tears of gratitude bathe your feet
Their kisses warm your hands
Their perfume allays your loneliness
Their touch heals your wounds
Words of encouragement fortify your heart
Stories of adventures transport you beyond your lonely hill
The embers of their love join with God's fire
To keep aglow your passion for life—
The beacon that shines out upon all who pass
Upon all who take refuge on the shore of your love.

I also love writing poems. This is one I wrote. I hope you enjoy:

"I want to ... to have in me all the sensations of pleasure full, living Fantasies, Desires without it nothing can stop us.
I want to ... that dives into my pores ... wells of love, warm waters that nurture your fire that Arousa my senses that make us Trembles.
I want to ... that dives into my eyes and find my soul that calls you now. Acaricide that my heart and understand that I love you.
I want to ... to find in me the complicity, the love, the reason to dream, to smile, a place of refuge.
I want to ... to get involved in your arms, kiss my lips wet with the taste of us, who Beg sacie I whisper in your wills and makes you happy.
I want to ... I feel so Tireless in my hand, you have in making us believe that when we desire more.
I want to ... to convince you to not only exist in the body ... I got soul, and pure love that permeate stars based on the moon, is delighted with the sea and the sun illuminati it.
I want to ... to get on your hands and go way ... I consoling the sorrows, JOYS and sharing fun and love to meet all beings with eyes of love.
What to look for stars and night-day salute the sun and the moon.
I want to ... strive together for the perfume of flowers.
I want to ... together to exhale smell of our love.
I want to ... for our dreams together idealized view of the heart.
I want to ... together to make costumes and involves us in Seduction.
I want to ... together to try to overcome that afflicts us
Side by side to seek the serenity we need.
I want to ... you belong to the body.
I want to ... to give you my heart and reveal my soul.
I want to kiss your mouth bite their lips and playing with his tongue in my. I want him to kiss her neck bristle whole pull my breast in your hearts to the bar if your hands sweat intertwined.
I want to keep an eternal embrace smell on my skin.
I want to burn in your fire and keep you forever in the scar us. "

dimity you set your expressions of love and gratitude for him so well to verse. it is always a pleasure to read how he's touched you. as far as the media's concerned they are a lost cause full of lost souls that fill on nothing but the emptiness of their one upmanship over their fellows. it's a piss poor existence. your poem showing how distinctly different Michael is in his character to how they are in theirs, how can they help but hate, cause they'll never concede their true natures. hate is all they have left to try and win the battle of appearance or image. their tools are what you mentioned. its the only weapons they have. when they do fall on their swords, and they will, cause their hate will not win out, i will try to remember not to gloat. your poem was beautiful :flowers:

 

[Dimity]

Wow Ashtanga--that sure is a passionate poem! Thanks or sharing it with us.

Thanks for your comments Friend. I know that the media are a lost cause. So often when I hear their drivel I still want to write in and put them straight about Michael, but I don't think they care about what's true--only about what sells as entertainment to air-headed minds. I'm glad that you liked my poem.

[SIZE=+1]1. The Road Not Taken[/SIZE]

T[SIZE=-1]WO[/SIZE] roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;[SIZE=-2] 5[/SIZE]
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,[SIZE=-2] 10[/SIZE]
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.[SIZE=-2] 15[/SIZE]
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.[SIZE=-2] 20[/SIZE]
