*POETRY SLAM!*

[hollypop]

p34e and poignardpoppet- you two have me *blushing*

Thank you for your sweet words, gosh, what an inspiration!... and why was I nervous? I guess because I was afraid of what I was trying to say wouldn't be understood.

Now I feel like I should post more and maybe even write more poetry

[P34e aka Jezzy]

;D I'm glad you feel better now . You have talent and now you know you can show it .

Thanks, p34e. another *blushing* moment for me.

But hey, where has all the other poetry gone?? I miss reading it.

[P34e aka Jezzy]

This one is a bit sad....sorry I wrote it a long time ago when I was going through a tough time

The Dark

I stare at the square with it's two switches,
imploring me to flick them on, but I want to live alone in the dark.
I do not wish to be in the light.
For when I was sorry, he did not want to hear, and when I needed to be loved , I was left alone.
I guess this is where I am meant to be, devoid of people, no one but me.

dats really gud.

p34e... believe it or not, that's how I feel right now.

I don't know how you did it but you took my feelings and brought them into 'light'.

That takes talent, girl. You really are very, very good

[P34e aka Jezzy]

That takes talent, girl. You really are very, very good

Thank you sweetie. Thank you very much.

I know how you feel too. I was feeling all the feelings in this poem as I was writing them. I was going through it. If you ever need to talk PM me or something OK

[hollypop]

Thanks... I really need a friend right now. Look for a pm from me very soon

Tomorrow actually.. I need to get ready for bed. I've cried all day and I'm just exhausted.

[slip]

heres a li'l one:

"they part to let the light out
they part to let hope spring forth
they part to the sound of laughter
they part to witness the first of the green
they part to the endless night of starlight
they part, the clouds of darkness, despair, sadness, drought, and fear.

[P34e aka Jezzy]

Very nice . I like your use of words. Wow we have a lot of talent here in the cafe

[P34e aka Jezzy]

Thought I'd share one I wrote about my daughter:


Katie


She is the beauty and soul of my earth.

She is my bounty of miraculous birth.

She is my sunrise, when light finds it's meaning.

She is my sunset, when moonlight starts beaming.

She is the twinkle in my bright little eyes.

She is the sparkle in my starry night skies.

She is my flower that blooms bright in the spring.

She is my warm breeze that summer will bring.

She is my sweet in a world full of sour.

She has more value to me than money or power.

In your eyes she is a mere child, so insignificant.

In my eyes she is what makes this world so magnificent.

She is my daughter my life and my love.

She is the gift sent to me from God up above....Katie

Holly,

Your poem is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you. Nothing is, nor will ever be. I truly enjoyed reading it, while you were upstairs putting away laundry. I love you, you know that.
This poem is indeed a work of art because as you already know, writing is indeed an art. I can tell, you put your heart, soul, and so very much passion into this, that is what makes it so very great, and that is part of what makes me love you so very much, your heart, your soul (WE ARE SOUL MATES ) and your great passion. This poem truly is a work of pure genius, and I am not saying that because I am your boyfriend, I am saying that because it is true, as true as I love you. Yeah, that last line rhymed, this is poetry slam....RIGHT?

Through the tears of realization
your hopes and dreams soon fade away

You learn to grow with all the walls
getting higher everyday

And when all your memories and fears
exhaust you through the night

The spirit of your being meets the wind
for one last flight

To the waiting arms of knowledge that
the wise ones have to give

Release the chains that bind your
soul to pain,
set it free to finally live

THAT IS SO AWESOME!!

[hollypop]

p34e... your poem about your daughter is probably the sweetest thing I've ever read

Did you do anything special like frame it with a newborn picture of your daughter beside it or a picture of of her on the day/month you wrote it?

Gosh I hope I didn't confuse you!

isienna10.. you posted a poem that I actualy like very much. It provokes alot of imagery and thought for me. It's really cool

[hollypop]

John... thanks for the compliments sweetie

I love you too but for some reason, I find it hardest to show you what I write. Whether it be short stories or poetry. I don't think I'll ever understand that.

Nope but now I will. Thanks for the idea holly!!!

Heres one my friends wrote!

Trapped

you're killing me
slowly but surely.
mentally and physically
you're killing me.
you toy with my head
play with my body.
snapping my spirit
as well as my bones.

I'm fading
slowly but surely.
growing thinner by the day
losing my mentality day by day.
disappearing slowly
vanishing quickly.
crushing my essence
steaming my soul.

I'm nothing but a shell
a face withought a name.
an angel sent to hell
an innocent condemned to life.
I'm you're doll to be laughed at
an accessory to be ignored.
thanks to you I'm nothing
a spirit withought a soul.

[slip]

here's another one:

i'm walking on the sands of time
out of sync and out of rhyme
searching, hoping, praying i find
the part of me i lost
when i lost my mind

i'm loosing this feeling fast
the feeling called remorse
when i would feel sorry for what i did
but the anguish and guilt don't come no more
they're on vacation
they've gone right out the door

what did I do? why did I?
i can't fathom the reasons
they've drowned in my sea of lies
breaking all the ties
with my past
with who I used to be
and could be reborn as again
if only i could find
my sync and my rhyme
as i walk alone on these
sands of time

[slip]

hey hollypop and p34e thanxs!!

[hollypop]

Thomas.. the poem you posted that your friend wrote, kind of scars me. I hope that it was written out of talent and not because they were going through that much pain.

isienna- you posted words that I've felt soo many times. I really like it- did you write it?
