You stand tempting gravities edge taunting us teetering on it's ledge If you should fall and nets brake we would answer the call and create for you a new fate If my arms should shatter know that one by one we here would catch you as steps on a ladder The skies are blue perfect day to fly so what say you you up there how is the view care to give it a try? <<---turning around, closing eyes with arms spread wide and falling down....down...down.. Beautiful Raw.... |

I’ve been reading
And listening To hearts hardened By old wounds Emptied of all but Selfish desires Careless attitudes Spewing platitudes And clichés Highlighted by Indifferent reflection That final rejection “If you don’t like it …leave…” Hardly Words of affection … Well, that’s ok I don’t want someone Who can take me or leave me I want him to need me And not just consider me Another disposable life Tossed aside when I’m too inconvenient Too much effort To invest precious Energy into Is that love or need? Selfishness? Greed? Or just that desire To connect To share my time So little yet so Sublime When spent With someone Who just ‘gets’ me And loves me anyway? No judgments No questions asked Just enjoying sharing the air I breathe? Are we all so ****ing jaded Or is love just overrated? A convenient excuse We utilize and abuse To keep someone Tethered to our side? Company bought and Paid for with cheap words And false emotions? A meager offering that Will either make Or break the sale? We’ve all become Emotional misers Too tightly wrapped Hoarding and Banking the Three Little Syllables That would buy so much A loving bond A gentle touch… It’s truly a Broken economy Of the soul when we Find ourselves So emotionally Bankrupt That we can’t Open up rusted Vaults And fill our emptied Coffers with I Love Yous... feb 2009 |

What good is The capacity To love If you can’t Take that chance And dance. This portion struck a cord with me Alicia. Many of us have the capacity to love but have been robbed of spirit and heart. Closing off that desire. Maybe that is a sign of hitting bottom with no where to go but up? I believe so my friend. Time to move up now ... |

I’m falling
I’m falling far and deep There’s no way to keep Standing on the precipice To maintain this fine Balancing act And there’s no going back I’m being propelled forward At lightening quick speed Fueled by this ungodly need With nothing to slow my descent Nothing to stop my fall I close my eyes as I realize I’m going Down Down Down I’m scared Soul bared Wide open to Dissection Harsh assessment Cold rejection Of all I am But what does It all mean What good is The capacity To love If you can’t Take that chance And dance On the head Of a pin? So I give in Arms opened Ready to fly Taking a gamble Willing to give It my all Wondering All the while If you’ll watch Me hit the ground Mutilated and Torn or will you Put yourself Out there To catch me When I fall? |

Conjure me up a poem baby

It's quiet now my ears are ringing no Valentine but many memories still worth remembering Three games of pool two drinks per game no one there could remember me name Drove too far to see a band venue slash bar went on first we missed them damn huge breasts invading my space not sure if any of those women really even had a face Wet restroom floors graffiti marked doors drunken man whores violent female roars liquers sweating out of every persons pores Last call! A smile or two is that for me of course it's not you can barely see enjoy your hangover and that hard ice tea what's that baby.. oh the restroom's over there One last cigarette no thanks I'm done well everyone it's been almost fun but now that the room is spinning I can almost taste that rum again stick with the soft drinks that I'll recommend But before I go and this thought slips my mind to everyone I missed happy Valentine and if you missed me I was lost in a vast winding sea yet none the less happy V.D sincerely me: RawB :Roberto Loera Feb.15 ©2009 Sounds like every girls' Valentine dream (laughing) So glad to see you survived the night Raw....Happy Belated Valentines Day and thank you for putting a smile on my face with this one~excellent~ |

A toast to all the poets
|

I read a poem written by iam4u and quite agreed with him, we need to show encouragement to our new poets ( and to the "oldies" too) So once again, I am posting this.... Here's to your poetic inspirations ! Words, the tools that brought them all together Sharing tomes and verses relentlessly A variation of souls,they flock like birds of a feather. We've had poems that made us laugh and cry and some that have left us with a sigh Whimsical fantasies have graced these pages There are so many wonderful writers whose offerings has had us all enthralled for ages A journey to the milky way via some of our poets pens Even held stars in our hands,played with childhood memories and made friends Their imaginations have made us take steps into the unknown And we've watched as the talents of others have grown They've reached across culture's great divide by throwing out an open invitation for all to step inside We've shared their world and inner thoughts So much happiness their rhymes have brought We have had the pleasure to share so freely The writings of our poets, shared so merrily To name a single person would be unfair But I do know we all have our favourites,I do declare Isn't it wonderfuly to see words that appeal to all? Some have spoken of winter,summer spring and fall Others have written of loves' first stirring There's even been a few that have told of passion........very daring Marriages, births and yes, some have spoken of death And still their words keep coming,there is still a ton to come, yet A toast as well to all the readers of this forum and to others who have posted quotes of decorum Yes, I do believe in giving credit where it is due So now I make use of the opportunity and this I will do To the men and women who pen words of enjoyment Here's to your talents,your words have been well spent. Oh my lovely friend Once again wielding her pen In grace.... Thank you Bonny ~ |

This House of Dreams

Welcome to this house of dreams, of thought, of words, and sharing A place of love and laughter, of helping friends, and caring The light in here is very bright, please come in, share or borrow Cast off your cares with friends inside, your worries of tomorrow Fill your lantern, trim your wick, to help your light shine brightly Within this place you'll find your thoughts are never taken lightly There are no rooms with dark, locked doors, all are free to enter There are no corners, long dark halls, your always in its center It's easy here to find a friend to listen, share, or turn to No fear of retribution, no ghosts to scare or haunt you It's peaceful here so rest your soul until your need to leave us But hurry back cause you'll be missed, your absense known, and grievous **** It is hard to express my feelings upon my return to this place, to find that I was missed, thought of, and welcomed back with open arms. How do you repay or reward such a gift as one that never stops giving........**** Easy. You just make sure you dont leave for so long again. *smile* |

I'm pretty sure she is going to need a bigger vacuum with so many bloodstained words (Type A for Alicia/Artist) spewing all over the place...but I also like SSouls image of the dam and the power such words can generate...for so many others who can use the truthfulness to shed light. I know I do. I dont think any scrawny little vacuum can clean up all the blood my good captain. But a transfusion or two may help... Happy Valentines Day Cliff~ |
