    Are you still writing your poems mainly when getting drunk Pandora? Somehow I don't think so.



    :lol: I can't read my writing when I do that! :lol: Liquor though inspires and arouses ...brings
    inhibition and creativity for me.

    mostly my writing comes from my dreams... I hold for a day or two
    then release it out to paper... seems to help to understand or deal with them
    but no as of late no cocktailing mixed in with the writing but maybe
    I should work on that....



    thanks friend for being there, reading and listening :D


    Writing from your dreams - that is very interesting. We're lucky to see the results! I was just remembering a conversation some while back where I think you said you wrote under the influence sometimes! Whatever gets the creativity flowing....! Is all good with me ;)

    Mother of Me


    When the insignifcant manages to beat me down

    it is you who will raise me with your bare beauty.

    When cruelty and injustice close my eyes

    it is you who opens them with wonder and hope.

    When my ears can listen no more to thoughtless trivia

    it is you who carries the tune on a breeze that lifts my soul.

    When tears fall and disbelief shadows

    it is you who comforts me with the soft rain and morning sun.


    When I ponder leaving this world . . .

    it is you I shall miss the most,

    it is you I do not wish to live without.

    You are my Nature . . .

    Mother of me.


    Very nice - moving!

    Thanks tremors...I too remember that and I guess I've gotten more comfortable or freer with letting it out....
    Lord knows I don't drink less ;):lol:

    His Eyes


    teardrop-cooke-50.jpg

    His eyes say it all . . .

    He leans in to lighten the moment with a hand gesture.

    The room explodes with laughter,

    but his eyes say it all.



    My heart sinks as the laughter subsides

    and I search his face for relief.

    I see, hidden behind smiling eyes,

    the sadness.

    His hopes, yet again, crushed.

    Crushed

    by the weight of disappointment.



    We have let him down.

    Please . . . no . . .


    I want to shout and again someone screams

    drowning my thoughts,

    our thoughts, in the ridiculous ego of one,

    of many.



    He begins to sing,

    sing from his beautiful soul.

    He shares himself,

    intimately,

    giving love freely.

    Sharing the only way he knows how.



    The chatter in the room is unbearable.

    I look at the faces,

    please . . . stop . . .

    it only grows louder.



    A single tear gets away from me

    and the lump in my throat makes it hard to breathe.



    He is now a million miles away,

    somewhere,

    somewhere I want to be too,

    quiet, alone with his song.



    I see then that single tear.

    It glistens there in the colored lights

    as it rolls down his cheek to his lips

    and mixes with the beautiful lyrics.


    And our eyes meet in a moment,

    one tear shared.

    We are sorry . . .

    Our eyes say it all.

    ' beauty in the eye of the beholder '

    but


    beauty in the heart of the beholder

    Clearly through the eyes of Angels we fly
    As though the wings of eagles have been set upon us
    Then in this world we seek its edge
    Only to gaze in wonder and anticipation
    Of gift’s we believe wait for us at the edge of the world.

    I thought I saw you last night in a dream
    We broke some bread and shared some wine
    Then we spread our wings to fly
    Like eagles flying in an angels eye
    We went too far we got to high
    We were flying at the edge of the world.

    lovely. very true
  • While at a cafe today, amidst all the laughter and comfortable voices, I saw a painting on the wall. I couldn't stop staring at it, with each glance it pulled at the heaviness in my heart. It inspired me to write something, which I thought I'd share - I don't know why, just felt the need today. I can't seem to put my finger on why it has affected me so much, why the very thought of it moves me.

    deep breath, here goes, my first poem on here...


    Eat Your (He)Art Out

    A white washed wall
    Imperfect. Spots of its
    Past visible, hazy and covered.
    Blue, red, yellow, lilac,
    Flash of orange, green hypnosis.
    History peers, it reaches
    Desperately, clawing its way
    Through layer after layer,
    To no avail.

    A painting - young woman
    Handsome of face, small
    stature. Reflection, piercing
    Through the glass, empty frame of a
    Windowsill. Features incandescent,
    Eyes burning with life, glazed
    With reverie and hope. Vanity.
    Yet old and stale - the oil dry,
    Crusting, crumbling as
    I touch my finger to the surface,
    To share, join, take the naivety
    To no avail.

    Further back, another body, female
    Sitting on a stone cold bench,
    Watching on, faceless observer
    Guardian of the golden.
    She is unknown, hidden
    by the blur, the rush
    Of paint, hastily applied. Afterthought.
    Mystery blends with the flowers, sweet.
    Their stems and leaves holding
    Her, enclosing her, child. Arms
    Stretched, summer's nothingness reigns,
    She grasps at stifled, hot air.
    Trying to catch her dreams
    To no avail.

    Lovely Godfather,

    I'll see you over the edge ;)

    I can see the picture! ...very very good

    pictures are a wonderful catalyst
    and just plain great to get lost in

    you may guess my favorite lines are the last two,

    'catching my dreams'

    seems to be a something I do literally, regularly.

    thank you for sharing!
    :D

    Here Nor There



    Here....

    I am,

    lost in my timeless travel,

    with my yellowed thoughts and empty hugs.

    Lovely names, famous places, pinpoints on a map.

    A paper shuffle, solemn words, lives written to be told.


    I am Here ...

    amongst the pieces of my Century's Old.


    There ....

    I am,

    in cornfields, cow pastures alongside a Wisconsin lake.

    Young towns, no town, one lonely shack upon a hill.

    Across distant waters, down dirt roads, over foggy English land.

    Greeting eerily familiar faces and eyes that mirror my own.

    I am There,

    within the shared smiles of my Century's Old.


    I am Here Nor There



    I am Everywhere...

    I am my Century's Old!

    Just reading your first poem here electricxlovex. I'm impressed!!! I hoped you would share some writing with us, and I hope you share some more in the future. It gets less scary the more you do it!

    Some great lines in this one, very evocative

    This was my favourite part:

    pearljamfan-1997 ....
    my advice,
    save all the mementos, decades later they will lie in the palm of your hand....

    1000 ft. closet

    Away from the world, I have saved my world,

    no panes to see through just the years all gone.

    My life in my 1000 ft. closet.


    On the hangers, places traveled, events passed.

    A notched wicker basket, filled with mementos.

    Destined never to forgot, they lie in the palm of my hand....


    A single red rose pin, my Mother's passing.

    Little pink dress, satin shoes, my daughter's birth.


    A shell peanut, whose tiny face drawn carefully,

    marks the size of our unborn son.

    Forever it smiles at me, made blurry,

    by my tears that always come.


    A tiny tooth fairy pillow, dusty and faded

    once held the dreams and the smiles of my child.

    High heeled shoes of past dances

    and a wedding dress 30 years old,

    loves celebration renewed.

    Lessons learned, some never learned.

    Lies told, actions forgiven....

    hope never lost.

    Here safe from the world, I have saved my world,

    my life in my 1000 ft closet

    thats deffinately going in my momentos and what he wrote me today:
    Dalton :
    Its all because of you That all my dreams come true You are always there to brighten my day and make me happy in your own special way You dont know how much I care Whenever you need me I will be there No body is special for me except you I love you so much and its really true. Your smile awakens my soul, As the sun awakens the day. A kiss and my life is yours, It seems a fair price to pay. Your touch arouses my senses, As the moon arouses the night. Your heart endures all emotion, As the sky endures all the stars. Love me and we'll have eternity, There is no greater love than ours. (This is what i did in English class<3)

    Dalton :
    Your Perfect* Because everything you do Makes me smile… Because every second I spend with you Is worthwhile.. Because when you laugh at me I laugh too Because everyone else can see That I’m devoted to you.. Because I love your eyes and the way they shine… Because you don’t tell lies and you’re so beautiful when you whine.. Because when you get mad You can’t hide it.. Because even when you’re sad I can find it.., your spirits so free and you’re so dang fine! Because I never stop thinking about you.. Its not fair.. Because you’re just perfect and no one else can compare… I Love You Callen<3

    it kinda got wired at the end but i tried :D

    God I'm feeling so loved-up reading the last page of this thread! There's going to be an outbreak of hugging soon. I think I need to go and stick on some Black Sabbath ;)
