Wish you were here If I fall, would you catch me? If I hurt, would you comfort me? If I hug you, would you smile? If I hurt you, would you cry? Does it matter, now? We're falling through space an endless vaccum awaits, I can touch each and every star form here, But can't hold on to its light, I'm falling, falling through space, Into the darkness of my mind
Song in my heart, Guitar on my back Everytime I look forward I keep on falling back, Can't tell my left from my right need some guidance from the light, Long as string, and just as strong, In other words it's my little song Oh baby, we're off again This song is my light, i'm on the path, Step by step's a struggle, but do the math It's not as if we're lost, or far away, We're on our way to say... Clear the way!! To the dawn of the new day It won't wait for you, The day's coming your way!
Very touching work here. I like the "can't hold on to its light" part. Nothing really negative on this. Great jobs :D
hurr read the rules. One thread per poet.~ *merged* I liked "wish you were here", especially the verse with the rhetorical question. I think "form" should be "from" though. I wasn't as keen on the second poem, it was upbeat but didn't seem to have much meaning. If you want me to change the title of this thread to "Afro's poetry corner" or something else along those lines, just ask.
Sorry bout the multiple post, a lot of lag on my PC at the time and I pressed reply about 50 times. And if need be please change the title to 'PAW's poetry corner'. Thank you.
Welcome folks, to the one, and the only, tip top poetry thread this day!! And I hear you ask, who would own and present such a magnamous thread? Well hold on to your hats, heeeeeeerrrrrrrre's... *drum roll* PAW!!*trumpets play* Hi everybody! Thanks for taking your time out to visit my emporium of poetry wonder. And what's so wonderous about it? Well the poems range from absolutely fabulous to the down-right disgusting! What you've gotta do is tell me which ones and soon enough, they'll all be magnificient! So keep your eyes on the prize, and the updates from your friendly neighbourhood Spidey, uh, I mean PAW!! Update: 24/2/2010 From today onward I will attempt to upload at least one poem biweekly, in attempt to improve my work both in poetry and in other literature skills. I will hope to submit at least ONE piece of new work each time, whilst ocassionaly adding oldies and ones I can't wait the two weeks to post. Stay tuned and enjoy!
Couldn't think of a title for this piece, I was just laying in bed one night and I started to think of some poetry. The poem ended up talking about a type reincarnation after death, and the transition between you're death and you're new life. Please comment and will come back with more. ----------------------------------------------------------- Soft skin touches the cold comforting embrace of my sheets, The pills mix like a cocktail, and the visions are more vivid, I feel the Sandman is visiting, with a new dust for my eyes, I'm in a sea of dreams, floating on top of the currents aimlessly, So peaceful is the sound of the waves crashing against the bed, The cool mist cascading on my face, I sigh in relief The sea of dreams, it lets me hear what I want, taste what I want, Let me do anything I want, I am the ruler of all I survey, An actor in center stage, a butterfly who is dreaming to be a man, But it doesn't last, the king abdicates, the actor bows to the crowd, And instead the sleeper's sleep ceases, and I must start to take flight I awake from the womb, transformed, Creeky eyes open, a baby is born
I'm really sorry, I totally missed your post >> *re-merged* I assume you want to keep the title as it is now?
Yeah the title is good. Any way I can put the main post at the top of the page? I thought all these new posts were about my poems. Nice to know people are commenting. Anyway onto my content. ---------------------------------------------------------- Heart Fire, fire burning bright Be the kindling of my light, I am like the sun, up there Sitting, waiting, for all to bare, The world is dim at the time of midnight, Yet it is when there is closely of sight, For your fire burns brighter in darkness, Humans, be Hyperion, no less, Tomorrow's dawn is a new day, In the summer ways of mid May
