Something very special to me.

Flying with Angels
Dear Angel – thank you for being there
I always thought that I was alone
You held me up in my hour of despair
Did he send you to save me? I don’t know

I wept and cried, said that love had died
You said oh no, I was simply lost
In my life I need much, much more
You said ah yes, but can you pay the price?

This pedestal of yours is too high for me
Those nice words you said, I cannot stand
I’m not that perfect, why can’t you see?
You smiled at me and held out your hand

The clouds have cleared, I see the sky
Could have lost what I hold so dear
Thanks for taking me the road so high
Thank him for sending you to walk with me

Flying with angels to the edge of the earth
Feathers so soft, they comfort the hurt
Lift me to heaven it’s so clear up high
Tranquility, stability, love cannot deny
Never again will I doubt my own faith
He sent me an angel, it was not too late

[starcrossed]

Love it Boston...very perfect.

This is a conversation I had

"Magnolia Tree"

I tell you about a
Magnolia tree outside my window
Spring is not ready
For her
Pedestrians walking
Around
I'm not a lamp post she says
I'm just lonely
For now
Birds even think I'm too naked
To build a house in

I see you looking at me
I can be your friend
For now
Until Spring dresses me up
In a festive gown

[starcrossed]

Iwo, I enjoyed reading your conversation...I like the voice of the tree. Very honest...the piece reminds me of beat nicks in a old smoke filled cafe...very cool...that is great!

[starcrossed]

I have not posted in a while...time to start!

Cage on fire

Locked in a cage,
the bars are created
by fire and flames.

Want so much more in life.

Can't break free...

They say that this is life,
and that it's the way it has to be.

How I desire to break the bars,
to once again be free.

I am stronger now
than in the past.

No fear or doubt of what I am.

I need to release this pent up anger!

Need to have a moment to just be me...

The deeds of the past are gone.

I see the future
bright as day.

Just need to break the bars,
face the flames
and be free.

Cascading Dreams

Cascading dreams
flood her once desolate desert soul.

Like a mirage
forming in the distant heat.

She can see all her dreams before her...
so close,
yet unreachable to her perception of reality.

[starcrossed]

Because Iwo inspired me....

Beat Nick Date

He see's me...
I know that he does.

I should look away.

Do you think I was staring too much?

He really is cute...
Has a nice butt to boot.

I talked with him so many times...
In the grocery store
on the phone line.

Just in my mind.

I don't think that I have a chance...
the man is too fine.

Wait he is coming this way!

What should I do?
What should I say?

Maybe I have time to run away...
No
I can't be that way.

He probably hasn't seen me.

He will just walk past,
without a second glance.

He is right in front of me.

What should I say?

He just said something!

Oh, my God...

Inner dialog so loud
I did not hear anything.

I reply
'what a pleasant day'.

He laughs
and says he tried to find me the other day.

I faultier my words,
yet manage to state
that I had a very busy day...
no time to shop that late.

With a smile
he asks me on a date.

I try not to dance around like a madman,
yet squeak out 'Great'.

Leaning down he passes a gentle kiss upon the top of my hand,
and walks away...

I turn and crash into a trash can.

That is fine...
what a man.

[starcrossed]

You know I still remember the first beatnick poem I heard...it was called "square". It was about the square shape. I believe it was a red square...lol...

Thank you Iwo for reminding me of the poems I first studied.

I hope you liked the poem you inspired me to write. It is my attempt at beatnick writing..lol.

[iwo]

Star, thank you for all the kind words...
I like everything you create, it shows so much versatility...there is no struggle, you can become anything you want upon your own words so easily and smoothly.
The Date one is so different , yet definitely yours, definitely Star-ish
loved it! Can't wait to buy your book of poems, I'm hoping you're working on some deals already
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us

[bostongirl]

Why, I think we have a new adjective - Star'ish. And I have to agree with Iwo 100%. Star, your work is terrific. I love the date poem. I hope that you are beginning to keep a portfolio of your works. You will need them for the book deal

Can't wait to buy the book

Boston

[starcrossed]

Iwo and Boston

Both of you are going to make me cry...Thank you for both of your very kind and generous words.

I am keeping a portfolio of all my works. I was going to build a website, but hubby suggested that I focus on trying to get published outside the Internet world. Besides, I am hopeless on creating a website even with the fancy programs that the Mac has... ;D

I guess a girl can dream bigger, right? I will keep trying. Maybe, one day I will be able to get published.

You both are really so sweet. Thank you.

I’m sorry to them for messing up
I know you’re disappointed
I need to get my act together
All your plans ruined
I’ll try to do better

I’m sorry to her
I keep forgetting
I know you think I am perfect
Why didn’t I do this
And why didn’t I do that
I should have met your expectations

I’m sorry to him
for asking too much
I just wanted to give happiness
Create big smiles and warm hearts
Shouldn’t have asked you to take part

I’m sorry to the world
‘Cuz I’m not that perfect
Never pretended to be
I just want to live a good life
I just want to be free to be me

[iwo]

I just woke up to a perfect new poem!
Did I say perfect? Happy days again!
Boston, keep on writing girl!

[starcrossed]

Great poem Boston!!! What a treat to wake up too, I agree with Iwo! Always special to read other's works...I am happy camper.

The Lovers

Don't ask me about tomorrow
It's in a thousand years

Let's sail in a white boat
Now
Be my Juliet
I rescued from receiving that
Gold ring

Now is in deep waters
For stars to shine
At it
And keep to theirs secrets
Playing games who's going to find it first

Tomorrow
For a thousand years
From now on

[starcrossed]

Very nice work Iwo... Do you compose music too? I really would love to hear some of your work to music someday.
