Got Poetry? III

[Deleted]

Wow...take a little break from the boards and it is all quiet around here. Well...well....let's dust off the pages of the last thread and start up once more on a fresh thread.

For those that do not know me...this is 1star....a.k.a "starcrossed"

Speaking Words

I speak words that have no meaning,
Within a world that has no point.

I try to conform to the beliefs that others place upon me,
And never understand why my viewpoint does not hold any value.

Speaking words...
With no sound.

Looking at dreams painted on a blank canvas,
Yet my brush is still dry.

Will I fail?

No.

I will always be me...
As simple as that may sound,
It is a harder task than anyone can imagine.

Walking this path,
I know that all I have is who I am.

My words may not have meaning or value to others...
But they do to me.

Sorry for any typo's...I am writing on my tablet and not my laptop. Anyone else have problems tapping a little screen keyboard?lol

This poem just popped into my head.


Wish

Let love fall into place...
Wish for what still can be.

Hold my memory...
Or better just reach out and hold me.

No more fears.

Just you and me...
One moment and then everything.

This can be...
No more dreaming,
Open up your faith and come home to me.

Love me.

Doesn't matter what the world thinks...
We belong,
Come on...can't you see?

Throw caution to the wind,
And let's set the world on fire...
If you give us a chance to push a little harder.

Let love fall into place...
If it falls at all.

Let love fall into place...
We will make it our palace,
Ruling in ectasy.

Let love fall into place...
Come wish with me...
Wish for what can still be.

[Deleted]

It has been to long...so let's move forward. Here is something off the top of my head.


**************


When I breathe,
It will be a breath of freedom.

No longer trapped in my insecurities...
Returned to myself,
I am single and not afraid to be alone.

Far from worrying about what the world thinks.

I don't care about being judged.

This is me in starlight or darkness.

I am graceless and grateful...
I am wounded and healed.

I am me.

Breathing freely...
For each breath I take is my own.

Fake friends and allies ...be gone.

Fake notions and ideals...go away.

I am me.

Breathing free...
And each breath I take gives me strength and hope.

[Deleted]

Me

Bless me not,
With words of wisdom.

Words made only of breathe...

Don't pray for me,
Waiting for me to fall in pain.

See me as I am,
And how I will never be...or become.

See me...as me.

Not an image of perfection.

Not more than I truly am.

This human,
This person...
Me.

I will not break,
Yet I will bend.

Taking life as it comes...
A true blessing no matter what other's say.

Standing stronger,
Watching...
Knowing more now than before.

Trusting in what I feel,
And who I am.

Me.

Hello...was just feeling creative and decided to post. I wrote this poem on the spot, so I hope it is well received.

Whisper

Whisper regrets,
Like water undone from the pool of life.

Falling on deaf ears,
Spilling into all those things desired.

Unknown territory.

Fear.

Yearning for something deeper...
Craving a taste of Heaven,
All while you tremble in your self created Hell.

Who do you fear?

Yourself?

Or all those demons surrounding you with false hope?

Hope is a ladder to greater things in this world...
And still false when those desires are not your own.

Worse are those who will not let you find your own hope...
Faith,
Understanding that not all paths will lead you to victory,
But all paths shall lead you home.

Hold true.

Believe in who you are.

Yell and scream,
Even if it is to you alone!

Free all your passions,
Let them consume you in knowledge...
Even should you fail,
You will never be a failure.

[Deleted]

For those that have ever doubted themselves...and for those that are too blind to see how each person has the never ending potential to soar.

Bound

When can I fly without wings?

These wings that I am bound by,
Have never taken flight.

Though I have tried to leap from the Earth...
Far too many times to count;
I cannot free myself,
From the doubts that weigh me down.

How I yearn to fly...
Yearn to soar through the clouds.

Looking at this world I have come to know,
I still see more than I have been allowed to touch.

Eyes hold no remorse,
Yet they cast judgement...
Each moment of each new day.

Words fall from mouths,
That have no sympathy.

Failure is truth,
To those that do not understand.

How I yearn.

I simply yearn to fly.

To leap and be free.

To soar even knowing that the skies may not always be clear...
And still holding onto my inner strength as I go.

How I long to be...

These wings that I am bound by,
Have never taken flight.

Yet, I continue to yearn.

[Deleted]

Life

Beauty is unclear,
Yet always present.

Beneath all that is feared.

It is brighter than the stars in the sky,
And shines throughout the world.

Beauty is life.

Each breathe that is taken...

As each moment ,
Is celebrated in the youngest soul...

Beauty is there.

A sleeping idea.

A thought not yet created.

Life in all it's glory...
Even at it's darkest moment,
Is still beautiful.

For even in the dark,
Life in any form is beautiful.

How often we forget.

How often we are blinded by the truth.

If no tomorrow came,
Nor a single moment left now...
What would be seen?

That life before that...
Never found tomorrow or moment,
Would have been perfect.

It was life.

It is life.

Beautiful in all it's forms...
It is a chance,
It is hope,
It is fragile,
Life.

Sorry it has been a while...life has been a trip. Life as a single parent is never dull...lol But considering my son and I were hit by a car while walking a year ago and survived... well I can't complain about a few hard days every now and then.

Hope that life is treating everyone kindly.

This poem can be interpreted as many things, but I wrote it about relationships. How sometimes we get so hung up on a relationship, that we are scared to move on fearing the loss. Sometimes we don't want to move on because we fear being alone...and sometimes we fear starting over.

*Come Beauty*

Come beauty,
Death is beyond the walls.

Your unspoken lover,
Unable to feel.

Heartless and consuming...
In need,
Selfish,
And wanting.

He awaits.

He lingers,
Having never left your thoughts,
Nor having never left your soul.

Empty vessel.

Hindered by your resolve to stay,
When there is nothing left for you where you stand.

Afraid to embrace loss and simply walk away.

Poor little lost beauty...
How easy it is to live inside the echo of your heart,
Remembering a time long gone.

Death awaits you beyond these walls,
Yet life will begin if you only trusted yourself to let go.

[dawn]

Hey 1star - good to see you around here. Love that last line, could have done with hearing that all through my 20's!

[Deleted]

Thank you Dawn I believe many people can relate. It's part of life...sometimes we just need to forgive the past and learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect.

[Deleted]

Oh goodness...what inspired this? Life. It is not complicated, but sometimes it is easy to make it complicated. Then again, sometimes we have to learn the hard way to figure that stuff out...lol

This poem is about a part of life and how sometimes even the best intentions, are not enough to stay. 


*Please*


Please...
Tell me what you are thinking...
Each word hidden far away,
Along with your thoughts and heart.

When do I finally see you?

Never.

You are never you.

You are everything,
And everyone the world wants...
Even if it is only in a moment.

I don't crave moments...
I crave all of you,
Every second of every single day.

Your heart...
Your spirit...
Flaws and all.

I desire your presence near me,
With each breath I take,
Now and forever.

More than a lover,
But as my dearest friend and home.

Tell me what you are thinking...
Without care or concern,
Drop all the walls around you.

If even those walls are only to be dropped with me,
I beg you to drop them.

They are far to high to scale,
And I am far too old to believe I can knock them down,
Should you never have any intention of letting me in.

I love you.

Without reserve,
With endless passion...
I will always love you.

Just tell me what you are thinking...
Before I finally realize I have to let go.

[Deleted]

Just playing with an idea....

*Song*

Come to me in song,
And mend my broken heart.

Heal my soul,
With those few simple words,
That I have not yet been able to speak.

Tell the world how I feel.

Move my body,
With the freedom of being free.

Let the music take me,
Far from the pain I refused to let go.

Lyrics...
Spilling the secrets I have never told a soul.

Come to me in song,
It is the place I need to know.

Come to me in song,
It is everything I need to hold.

Anybody out there?...

[Deleted]

Wow...I remember a time when this board was active and full of energy. Now it seems to be so quiet. I hope that everyone is doing well out in the real world. I know that life really can be crazy, but still LH family forever right?

Maybe everyone is on Facebook...lol oh we'll, call me old school. I prefer this old board, over anything else. It is cozy.

[Deleted]

Don't sell me a line

Don't sell me a line,
About how much you love me.

I can feel the difference,
And you only want a safety net,
So you can continue to go out in the world and explore.

I was so blind...
I was so stupid...
I thought if I pretended,
Then it would be easy to forget.

You don't love me.

You never did!

You don't love me...
And I can't care.

I'll hurt...
I'll cry...
But I am shutting the door,
And calling it quits this time.

I won't be second best...
While you act as if I have held you back from being first.

Stupid no longer...
Baby, I am no longer blind...
Now it is my turn to say goodbye.

So tell me how you love me.

Tell me that you care.

I am telling you,
I don't need you.

I am tired and I don't care.

[Deleted]

I was just thinking...and wrote this. Anyway, hope all is well with everyone.


Night

Night come play with innocent hearts...
Oh how far they can fall.

Into a world filled with endless emotion,
And so full of fear.

Given without thought.

Suffering in loss.

Yearning for more.

Come play with tears,
Souls needing to be free.

Wanton and needing.

Give them love.

The only key,
That fits all locks.

Love.

Hey Star. Looks like it's just the two of us on these boards these days. It's a shame, but things have been quiet around here for ages now. I still email Rae and Jet (who's visiting me later in the year - woohoo! )

I love your writing though Star, please don't stop posting as sometimes I need some inspiration. Wow, how needy do I sound!?!

[Deleted]

Awe Dawn... You look like you could use a few huge hugs (((hugs)))! It is very quiet around here...not even activity from the band. Such an odd place...this was once a board filled with life and joy. I miss the days when our LH family surrounded this place. All is never lost... Just simply waiting

I never stop writing. I actually post on Deviant Art. Not much going on there, but it have managed to gather a few followers...some seem young. I think it is sweet. I love kids, and get along well with them. It is probably my size and the fact I still look like a kid...lol My boss calls me "twiggy". At 4' 11 and 102 lbs I guess I am on the small side. Still I like to think I am tall in heart...lmao

I will post here however too...it was my first home.

Miss you tons my dear friend.

[Deleted]

Oh...and I need to find an avatar... I can' t stand the cone head alien looking one that is standard around here....lol

[dawn]

The one that you've found is gorgeous! It's nice to see some colour around here!

It's crazy, even with hammerfest just finished, this place is still super quiet. I don't know if the LH board is busy, but I never bothered with there. I guess everyone has moved on to facebook or whatever. I use that, but prefer the privacy of here - not that anywhere on line is really private, but Facebook is open to everyone and you can't have private messages with a group of people as easily as a message board if that makes sense.

That's great that you've got some young followers on deviant art. I love the artwork on there, it's amazing what some people can do. You never know, you could be inspiring someone to be more open, or creative or just help someone going through something, or maybe just cheer someone up who's having a crappy day!

Things are much the same, the house is upside down at the moment preparing for the new kitchen, I'm trying not to stress about it, but failing miserably! Please just put me somewhere & let me come out when it's all done. Knowing the entire house needs rewiring at the same time scares me - it's just so much work. Luckily we're not doing it!!!

Take care & keep writing forever!
