Love your poem - - look at it from a male point of view. female visciousness and violence does exist, and hurts terribly.

the sands of time

 

the sands of time with the dawn of the world came the rising of the sun for the very first time,

as she took to the skies rising inch by inch her soft glow touched the new born earth,

the seas began to shimmer in the light as the waves softly rose and fell,

the mountains thundered from the oceans casting dispersions through the surf.

 

then there was calm as every corner of the world embraced the dawning of new life,

the eternal hour glass had at last been turned as the sands of time began to flow,

each one carefully biding its time not to idle by or be rushed along its way,

it had already been written that when life was ready our spirit would start to grow.

 

the sands of time will flow throughout the journey through our lives,

never to be prevented from completing their solitary thankless task,

they will forever guide us as we search for all that is pure in our lives,

ensuring we remember that life, our fate, will come and find us is all they ask.

A lyric rather than a poem, just wanted to share it.....

 

Emerald.

 

You dress my love in emerald hue

in velvet wrapped

preserved for you

placed on display with pinned down wings

this butterfly

screams to be free.

 

You are Franciscan to your soul

no living thing

can come to harm.

 

Fear, only fear imprisons me

we cannot face

the world alone

broken by our shared morality

your heart is black

my soul is gone.

Goodbye Mother

 

Mother you did the best you could for me

now enjoy your eternal sleep

Now i know man's not supposed to cry

but all i seem to do is weep

 

You were the best there is no doubt

you loved and nurtured me

You gave me birth and slaved and toiled

now rest eternally

 

A mothers love is the finest thing

all these words are true

So thank you mum for all you did

and Mother i love you

oh god,tears are streaming down my face,that poems is fantastic....really touches the heart:cry:

[GothicCharm]

It's not very good but I like it. It's basically about vanity and selfishness

 

She takes deep breaths

As she clearly sees

The sight of herself

Drowing in the sea

 

Her spirit jumps in

takes her by the waist

Brings her to the surface

And caresses that lovely face

 

She lays on the beach

Spluttering and coughing

A man walks past

And looks through her like shes nothing.

 

She treated him bad

In her life of self

Now he doesnt care

She's not really there

 

She killed her own spirit

Never realising

She saved her own life

And she will survive

 

She's out of her sea of self

The vanity which ran her life

Has gone, vanished,

Died.

[Eleri]

This is a poem my partner sent to me, via IM no less soon after we started seeing each other. It was the first poem someone ever wrote just for me, and I've only ever shared it with close friends before, so I hope he doesn't kill me for this

 

Do you know from our first kiss I knew,

My fate was sealed, my heart was sold to your heart,

For just one kiss.

 

Do you know you captured me with a smile,

Within a flash of your eyes,

It is so easy to become lost, mesmerised by a smile

 

Do, you know that when I hold you my spirit soars,

And at that moment, I find peace, an incredible silence

Which only the beatings of our hearts share.

 

Do you know what I am saying is I love you,

That I live for just a moment more with you,

And spend my days waiting...

For just one kiss.

[Leigh]

Whether this constitutes a poem, I don't know. But it does sum me up at the moment. Want all the luxuries in life, but am unwilling to work for them. Perhaps it's a poem in the making.

 

Big house, fast car, sharp suit, quids in.

Indolent, apathetic, inattentive, violin….

This poem is called "A Little girl"

 

A little girl tries to hide

But can't escape the pain inside

Another beating comes with the morning light

Have you any idea what you've done?

Was it all just twisted fun?

That little girl is a woman now

She'll find her way somehow

But the little girl is all you ever see

I know because that little girl was me

[Lucretia_73]

Reading this thread inspired me to dig out my book of poems from a very emotional period of my life and have a flick through. I've got loads of heartfelt whining in there...thankfully I got a grip and have since banished most emotion relating to other people from my life and become cruel, cold and heartless according to my ex...maybe I should get him to read the poems from the late 90's and he'd understand why!

 

Promises

 

You said forever, but forever isn't long these days

You pledged eternal love, eternity expired last week

You made promises you couldn't keep, no one could keep

You should have kept your mouth shut, you should have kept your peace

 

Don't tell me that you care, I don't believe you anymore

Don't even try to break into my solitude

Don't come around expecting me to be your whore

I'm tired of being used

 

You swore faithful, how many others did you say that to?

You mentioned marriage, but institutions never suited you

The things you wrote, you thought you meant, they didn't mean a thing

You should have kept your mouth shut, I'd have settled for a fling

 

You made me cry, you made me scream,

You made me ache, you made me leave

Now I'm not coming back to you,

'Cos I have learned a thing or two,

Love does not have to equal pain

And you won't break my heart again.

 

 

With Love

 

I don't believe a word you say, you talk all night and through the day

Never letting truth get in the way, of your rhetoric

 

Those naive can't understand, your attention is in demand,

Others try to take your hand, I give it

 

Always someone there to fool, children playing by your rule

Shouldn't they be back at school? Shouldn't you?

 

I was too wise to your tricks, your beguilments fell to bits

Shattered dreams I could not fix, with love.

 

 

Bitter? Moi??
