carnival of the mind

i am left here left blindinside the carnival of the mind

maybe im slow or years behind ridding in circles in a carnival of mind

clowns have followed me in this circus of mine forever im lost in her candy floss hair

the carnival of minds


( needs clown laugh intro / outro heavy drum beat )
 
here's something i wrote lately ..
i'm not that sure about it and i confess it took me a lot of courage to write it here as i don't know what will you say of it...anyway..
here it goes....


how deep is you love for me ?
it's deep, michael
it's deep
so deep that i feel swords slicing thru my heart
i love you
as deep as the oceans have water
feeling the pressure of every single tear-drop
i love you endlessly
universally
untill my humble being dissolves into you
do you really love me that deep?
i love you so much that
when i close my eyes and i start to float
and i glow ...
how deep do i love you ?
not deep enough, my sweetest angel..
and i'll deepen my love untill i will meet you
into pure energy ..
untill i'll be completely dissolved
into your love ...
it's only then i'll feel the trueness of happiness
it's only then i'll feel complete
and at peace .....
i love you more than my body can bear
i love you and it hurts
but pain is so sweet and addictive
i love you, i breath you, i miss you ...
untill my Lord will take mercy on me and set me free from my own hell
from my sins and mistakes
i'll continue to love you untill God decides i am worthy enough
to come, hug you and tell you ....
i'll love you forever
while burning in hell for my earthly existance
i'll love you untill you'll forgive me
i'll love you michael
untill you will love me
 
Within the silence of your smile
i see a light no one does
if you could stop for awhile
and look into each other's eyes
you would see behind
you would forget the words
you would see the mind
you would know his world
his other galaxy
such an extasy
When i look into you
i forget about myself
the blue stop being blue
the sound becomes deaf
I ear only the beat of your heart
i understand your sadness
i don't know where to start
in a hunger for taking it apart
its a battle in my soul
to defeat the bad ghost
to carve deep into the hole
to shiver when you go
to tremble when you fear
to crave when you run
to cry when youre not here
to wait while youre gone
hold my hand tie
dont you let it
my love cant die
dont you forget it
hold me as you never did
with the strenght of your need
near or far
i'll be where you are
no distance can win love
only the heart coldness
i'll fly like a brave dove
to give you a deep embrace
near or far
i''l be where you are


With L.O.V.E. this poem and music are for you... wherever you are, "I'll be there" :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6bARIaMhCM

How am I


People always ask me, “How are you?”
I always say, “I’m fine.”
But they can see that I’m not always telling the truth.

I don’t always tell the truth, I have my reasons.
I’m very picky when it comes to meeting people or knowing them.
I’m a very private person, I only share my feeling with the ones who know me really well.

It is those people who know who I really am.
They know how moody I get, it is with them that I let my emotions out. I’m able to be me.

It is always said that I’m a sweet person, that is true.
But there are certain people that have taken advantage of my kindness. That leaves me to withdraw from people that I once trusted.

If you were to ask me, “How are you feeling?”
I’d say, “Sad” Sad because I didn’t want you to leave us so soon.
I know you wouldn’t want us to be but it’s so hard. My 1 wish is that when my time comes, I hope that you will greet me with open arms when I get up there, so I can see that beautiful smile on your face after I get a hug from you.


I love you forever.

Dedicated with love to Michael J. Jackson
 
The True Meaning Of Christmas
by Brian K. Walters


In todays' day and time,
it's easy to lose sight
of the true meaning of Christmas
and one special night.

When we go shopping,
We say "How much will it cost?"
Then the true meaning of Christmas
Somehow becomes lost.

Amidst the tinsel, glitter
And ribbons of gold,
We forget about the child,
born on a night so cold.

The children look for Santa
In his big, red sleigh
Never thinking of the child
Whose bed was made of hay.

In reality,
When we look into the night sky,
We don't see a sleigh
But a star, burning bright and high.

A faithful reminder
Of that night so long ago
And of the child we call Jesus,
Whose love the world would know.

This was my reflection on New Years Eve 2009:

Last night I walked under the full moon (yes, a full moon brings in our New Year--let's hope it is a good sign) and listened to Michael singing. I asked him, "Where is your energy now Michael?" as I regarded the Heavens. But I know the answer. His energy remains, vibrating throughout the Universe as it has always done, resounding in his music, glowing in his beautiful image, echoing in all of our memories of him, and LIVING in our hearts and lives because he has created something new and unique and special in each one of us by his influence and love. Michael inhabits eternity. When I weep that he is gone from us, I must always remind myself that he is not "gone". He remains, as close as a thought, as intimate as a breath. He lives in us, for we are all one in the cosmos.

Happy New Year fellow poets. :)
 
Just for fun (and because we're having a heat wave here in South Australia while Europe is buried in snow... to the tune of "The Way You Make me Feel" (I think I wrote this some time ago and posted it in the Random Thoughts forum, though maybe someone else wrote it? Can't remember, but I stumbled upon it in my files and it made me laugh...)

Aneeeeeway, tomorrow it will be 43 degrees C (109.4 F) where I live--an open-air oven!

Hee-Hee!
Ooh!
That smarts Girl!
Aaow!

Hey sun up high there with the
Rays so hot
You give me fever
Shining down those pettawatts
You're just deceiving there
In the sky
I like to bake in
Your heat,
Your light, up high
I smooth some lotion
All round my face
I’ll rub it over my arms
Over every space
Just help me baby
To spread this cream
I’m not a beetroot see

The way you make me peel
(The way you make me peel)
You really burn me sun
(You really burn me sun)
You make my skin so red
(You make my skin so red)
This pain is not much fun
(This pain is not much fun)

Don’t like the feelin' you're givin' me
You’re making my freckles join at the seams
Oh I'll be baking from neck to toes
Unless I find some shade
To hide my woes
I Never felt so burned up before
I should have listened
To sunburn warnings more
I swear I'm keepin' out
Of the sun
‘Cause burning’s not much fun!

The Way You Make Me peel
(The Way You Make Me peel)
You Really burn Me sun
(You Really burn Me sun)
You make my skin so red
Now cool it-Hee!
(You make my skin so red)
This pain is not much fun
Ah, ooch ooch
(This pain is not much fun)
Ouch-Oooo!

Etc…

Some reflections on dreams...

Free to Dream


He is gone
who held the contract to my fidelity
who froze my heart with his silence
year upon confounding year.

Alone,
I am free to dream

Yet where my dream would fly
the room is empty
the bed is cold,
cold as the sepulcher in which
my loved-one lies.

Come dream, breathe life into memory
Awaken desire with a kiss

Dimity


The Tuning Of Violins
~Darren Hayes~

Daylight breaks, and the black birds call-
And the market stalls are all filling up, spilling over the streets.
High above, over Notting Hill-
I am floating still, in a wooden chair, with our restless dog.

Been away so long, I almost forgot how time and space
Cannot replace this feeling of flying over things.
Now you're falling awake, your sleepy face begins to register
That I'm coming home- yeah, I'm coming home to you.

[Chorus:]
On a Sunday only we know, where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over Blackheath.
Calling your name, I will float through your window.

Major third, or a minor seventh-
I'm a violin tuned a little sharp, tuned a little below.

Coming around the bend, the hallway ends.
The chair it dips, and then it bends-
And it has wings for legs.
Now you're deep in a dream,
the sheets and pillowcases seem to overtake your head.
I'm at the foot of our bed.

[Chorus x2]

Break through the silence, the gulf that's between us.
Take all the heartache and bullshit that builds up.
And we will unravel, unravel the moments.
Yeah we will unravel, unravel the moments.

Oh...

On a Sunday only we know, where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over Blackheath.
Calling your name, I will come to your window.

On a Sunday only we know, where the sunlight and the wind blows.
On a Sunday only we know,
I'll be calling your name as I float through your window.


Now, back to reality. Forms to fill in, clothes to wash, shopping to be done, meals to prepare...
 
Sonnet love bigger

Greater love no more strange is
That mine, that does not settle the thing beloved
And when you feel happy, is sad
And if you see unhappy, laughs.


And that is only in peace if you resist
The beloved heart, and that pleases
More of eternal adventure that persists
What a blessed life badly.


Crazy love of mine, that when it comes, it hurts
And when it hurts vibrates, but prefers
Hurting to fade - and lives at random


True to his law of each moment
Fearless, crazy, delirious
A passion for everything and yourself.


(Vinícius de Moraes - Brazilian poet)


 
Hello Comfort

Hello Comfort
love past
love sure
secured in the vault
of time and memory,
snug and reliable.

Let me curl up in your reassurances
caress me with familiarity
and I will uncoil
drain the tears from my hollow
and rest
not moving
dying in yesterday
while tomorrow bustles with life
outside the window of my insecurity

If I could let you go
Comfort, my love
and take hold of Courage,
let him lead me to the place
where hope flies on currents of uncertainty,
then I could live again

Dimity
 
Wondering why
I’m wondering why you ditched me.
All I did was love you for the person that you are.

Did I take you by surprise?
If I did it wasn’t what I wanted to have happen.

I told you how I felt because I needed to get the nervousness out
Of my system.



I thought you would understand where I was coming from.
Everything I told you was the truth.

But you doubted my feelings that I had for you.
I was trying to reassure you.


Even though I reassured you,
You still doubted me. I’m still wondering why.


Why must you be so damn picky when it comes to women?

All the other women before me, just wanted to love you,
But you made that impossible.


You want to be loved, but don’t
Want to be controlled by them.


You’re controlling them, that’s why they’re cheating on you.
They don’t like being told what to do.


In return, They control you, just to show you how it feels
When you do it to them.


You cheat on them to get back at them
For controlling you.


They find out about it and leave you.
You then end up where you were
Before alone.


You start giving the other single women your
“poor little me” sob story.


Wondering why you put yourself through
So much pain.


All of this could’ve been avoided if
You had said, “Yes” to me.


Dedicated to Levi J. Hamlin​
 
For Michael:

You are so Beautiful
~Joe Cocker~

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me


Here's a poem that I wrote a couple of years ago...

If You Were Mine

If you were mine to love
I’d cover you with kisses
Adore every blemish
Heal every wound
I’d tease your lonely mouth
With whispers of love
Lips so soft and sweet
Touching, caressing.

If you were mine to love
I’d make your dreams come true
Fly to the stars with you
Disperse moonbeams with our ecstasy
And floating down
I’d rest in your arms
‘Till the pink hues of dawn
Broke through our window

If I were yours to love
And you were mine

If…

Happy Valentine's Day to all of our poets.

Re: Poetry In Motion

this was my first ever attempt at writing poetry, it's probably more prose than poetry? but anyway, i like it. haven't checked it for typos.


Heed The Messengers

Right out of heaven He walked into our midst. Just as Jesus came to us, the son of a carpenter, He also comes to us packaged not as we’d expect. God’s ways are not our ways. His messenger doesn’t come with his angelic wings spread wide for all to see. He doesn’t say look at me in all my heavenly beauty. Nevertheless, He has mastered the art of getting us to recognize the beauty that can exist within each of us.

He came to us as a little black boy right on the heels of Martin Luther King, Jr., who died for the Dream, who also knew how to captivate us through his words. Also a humble man, who knew how to get us to hush and listen, cause there was message Martin needed to deliver, and a message that we needed to hear; need to hear still… shhhh….what’s that you’re sayin’, Martin?

In a time when we need healing, when we need hope, God hears our pain. He has the answers we seek, if only we’ll listen to His messengers. There’s still time. It can’t be too late, for He is with us still.

Will we do to this messenger what we did to the others? Is crucifying the messengers so much better than learning how to heal the world? Why must they suffer so much? Why are their burdens so heavy? Because, when God asked, they said “yes.”

There is light in this world. It’s hard to see, because we silence it so. The messengers tell us to listen to the children. They tell us the answers we seek lie there. The greatest of these messengers said to us "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

Herein lie your answers. Will you heed the messengers?


I really do like this.
Everything in this is what Michael was.
It describes him perfectly.
It really is him down to a T.
 
I spent some time dancing and meditating under the full moon tonight. She is such a good listener! In years gone by I wrote of her like this:

My Darling Moon

Hello my darling moon
Hello my darling one!
Light of my heart
Delight of my soul
Celestial lover
Radiant beauty
Drawing me higher
Thrilling me again
With your coquettish ways,
Your mystical smile
Dancing in and out amongst the clouds
Dwarfing the stars
Your halo of splendour
Edged with amber glow
Demands a moment of humble regard
Until you shed your wispy raiment
And laugh out loud
With crystal brilliance
Conquering the vast heavens
With your light
Teasing me with hints of love
You are my darling
You are my joy
My glorious moon!

Dimity

But tonight our conversation went more like this:

"You Are Not Alone"


Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

Last year I carried a big burden for Michael, I prayed a lot for him and had a sense that God was going to do something very big in his Life. I wrote this after he went home to be with the Lord.

Dear Michael

When your eyes closed and all knowledge became revealed to you
Did you see my Face

When your soul twirled out of your body like a genie and the essence of life passed away
Did you hear my cry?

When the pain gradually ebbed away from your Soul and a great love merged with your being
Did you know my name?

When your Soul wafted towards the throne of Grace and our Saviour took you into warm embrace
Did you hear me call?

When you came into your rest and the peace of God that passes all understanding filled your Soul

Did you hear my Prayer?
 
AfricanQueen, your poem is very beautiful. I'm sure that many of us identify exactly with those words. It is deeply comforting. Thank you for sharing.
 
It is because of you I am who I am. You taught me so much from the very moment I entered this world. What you taught and continue to teach me, even though you are physically not here anymore, I took and will continue to take. Whilst you are not physically here anymore that doesn't mean you are gone as I can see and feel you everywhere. From the sun setting on the ocean, the lush green of trees, the gentle breeze across my hair I know you are there watching over us all. When you left this earth you took a piece of my heart with you and will gladly recieve it back when we meet again. The earth just wasn't a big enough dancefloor for you-only the heavens could be adequate enough for that. As I write this as I look at the sky I see you moonwalking across the moon. I love you and miss you so much. I have loved you from the moment I was born and will love you forever.

Forever and always

Sophie xx
