A poem or two.....

    "She"

    She has cried

    over many tears

    and laughed over

    salt and sugar substitutions

    She has cut off pieces

    the same as her own

    and glued back on

    new ones

    She has tempted

    the male

    and was tempted

    by the male

    She burned

    the rotting bridges

    and built up

    new solid ones

    She has almost seen

    the light

    as she watches

    from a fading shadow

    She has cooked up

    hot scemes in her head

    but hasn't had the courage

    to use them

    She still believes

    in Santa Claus

    even though

    he forgets every year

    She plays the lottery

    and yet

    only wishes

    for a simple walk

    She trusts

    her comrades

    until they

    let her down

    She walks

    in an unnamed group

    yet is completely

    alone on her own

    She will not

    ask for help

    but will accept it

    and reciprocate

    She will rely

    on her intuition

    until it

    proves her wrong

    She will walk

    on the highway

    alone until

    the right car stops

    She has lost

    many battles

    but still has faith

    she'll win the war

    She is me

    and I need to

    get to know her

    a little better

    and another...untitled........


    Infinate and pure

    as the sunlight

    washing my face golden,

    Timeless and effortless

    as the heavenly bodies

    making their appearance

    night after night,

    Cautious and understanding

    as the new seedling

    taking root

    in unpurified needed soil,

    So is my lust

    to be free

    from these chains

    that bind me;

    These chains,

    that only I

    can see and feel,

    These chains,

    that wrap my head

    with needless ideas

    of correct responses;

    So I long to be free

    and then I can really live

    the journey

    I was destined for,

    and love

    the unselfish

    existence of it all

    Heres another....

    Rubber Band

    Tipped scales

    pained mountain

    Slipping justice

    into oblivion

    realizing not

    what happened

    but taking toll

    of what

    always was;

    It's the season,

    the thyme,

    and the rosemary

    that cooks the deal

    right on schedule

    currently pursued

    the concept

    already known

    but blissfully

    forgotten

    only to be

    disturbed

    of that which

    cannot be

    denied...

    but a sappy

    denail

    remains the same,

    like chuckles

    at a B-movie

    preview

    when its class

    and refinery

    that is

    desired

    only to

    make one

    blush

    and push

    BACK,

    push until

    the hurt is

    gone,

    push until

    the hope is

    gone

    and when

    the hope

    leaves

    the reality

    sets in

    and lives

    and forces

    destruction

    upon a

    tightly stretched

    mind

    that is

    now on

    the verge

    of

    snapping

    ty spaz... here is another...

    can you feel
    the heat
    the warmth
    the light
    the sun
    on my face
    the moon
    in my eyes
    can you feel
    the presence
    from within
    from without
    from
    all around
    from inside
    can you feel
    the love
    that cancels
    the hate
    can you feel
    yourself
    from the
    blanket
    of your skin
    and your
    soul
    and your
    being
    and then
    you
    will
    FEEL.

    Spice...i like that feeling poem.

    I'm an analytical type person (some might say over-analytical)
    and spend 99% of my time detached from my emotions....
    (i keep 'em at arms length anyway)
    when i do take the time to really feel...it's wonderful!
    Your poem is a great description of that experience.
    Thumbs up!

    Very nice Spice!

    Jogged a memory of one i wrote many years ago, here's a snippet:

    Trapped within the boundaries

    of the endless night

    where sleep is nonexistent

    Haunted by the ghosts of something almost said

    That should have been, but isn't

    'Tis here I tread upon those dwindling last threads of sanity

    reaching out, that it might not escape me.

    gawd Mac...that was good.
    i don't think i've ever identified so well
    with a poem written by someone else.

    SPAZnic,

    Thank you.

    Your line about not identifying as well with a poem written by "someone else" infers that you are holding out on us. Am I right? (You know I am.)

    Mac....me? holding out? naaah...i wouldn't do a thing like that! hehe

    Actually if you press my button
