This is going to be a place of poetry. It will be a mixture of work by others and my own stuff. The poetry without names are my own lame attempts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

On a Faded Violet | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The odour from the flower is gone Which like thy kisses breathed on me; The colour from the flower is flown Which glowed of thee and only thee! A shriveled, lifeless, vacant form, It lies on my abondoned breast, And mocks the heart which is yet warm, With cold and silent rest. I weep,--my tears revive it not! I sigh,--it breaths no more on me; Its mute and uncomplaining lot Is such as mine should be. --Shelley |

Imagination-- Such a powerful word. It condemns all that is ordinary by raising it to another level. You rule with force, but my pen is mightier than your sword. You try to conform me to your standards when mine are so much higher. Don't try to change me You will never succeed. I will not bow to your pursuations no matter the consequence. You see only what you want to when there is so much more You can't see beyond your tin soldiers lined up against the wall waiting for your commands to obey your every whim. You are master of none but those who fear you. But you can't control me I am free from that Free from the games of Mice and Men ...I am my own person. |

Reclaim | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
And as the man walks out if his house into the early morn, he waved away the shadows left by the receding night. Then rising to the top of the hill, he watches the bright blush of day creep over the land as darkness pulls away from the warmth. The giant fiery ball climbs ever higher until it becomes a crimson orb. The man lifts his rifle to is shoulder. he watches as the globe shrinks and deflates. The man drags his prize towards his house, Dirt clinging. The darkness comes. Rushing in to reclaim. The sun is no more. |

Love and Hate lie undivided in the heart they have resided. One is not without the other; The hater may also be the lover. One emotion cannot survive if the other is starved and dies. Do not deny your hate, for love might have a similar fate. |

Little dark one, straight black dress, bare legs and boots, screaming blasphemies in the middle of the street. so angry, so passionate, they don't listen, they just drive away, I am watching you. your body tanse, your claws bare, it breaks my heart to look at you, you are all the things I love |

The House Beautiful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A naked house, a naked moor, A shivering pool before the door, A garden bare of flowers and fruit And poplars at the garden foot: Such is the place that I live in, Bleak without and bare within. -- Stevenson |

Music | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I pant for the music which is divine, My heart in it's thirst is a dying flower; Pour forth the sound like enchanted wine, Loosen the notes in a silvery shower; Like a herbless plain, for the gentle rain, I gasp, I faint, till they wake again. Let me drink the spirit of that sweet sound, More, oh more,--I am thirsting yet; It loosens the serpent which care has bound Upon my heart to stifle it; The dissolving strain, through every vein, Passes into my heart and brain... -- Shelley |

Life in a Teacup. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
--The Skunk | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Place me in a yellow teacup Wrap the top with cellophane; You put me in this tiny world. With gleaming walls of pain. The air is thick with persecution Suffocating in my bitterness. You are laughing at my misfortune. A cup brimming with resentfullness. Finally giving to suppresion Now a shadow of a dream; Broken and released from hope Of who I might've been... |
