reverie

Green and Hazel I see you. With a candle burning blue... Twins alike, imbued with light One for morning, One for night... Careful with your tragic bow Mindful aim will end in woe To the Moon, Orion sings Beaming back a fatal sting... Chariot riding full of flames Many lovers in his reign Glowing sister take your aim Mindful of the lovely game... Drawing back, with little thought Letting go, your heart is caught In the sea, Orion dies So then your heart, lies in the sky... Now another fresh and bright Filled with both your glowing lights Mend betrayal with his hand Healing wisdom for all man See you pupil on the ground Watch him thrive, to all astound... Teaching King and god alike healing saves what gentle fight Noble Chiron all in vain Poisoned arrow ends his pain. For far off friend, misreads the sight Rending sun and moonbeams light... Contrary siblings of the spheres Divided love will disappear For every trick another vice Waning moonbeams slice by slice... revery the dreamlost "say it ain't soooo" the dream continues...

**Revery walks up the the bar** Muttering under breath he berates himself, "jeez, never thought I'd ask anyone this but um..." no longer muttering and speaking to the first person he see's now... "so um, what's your sign..." o.o.c. Hey, ppl, just dropping you a line to let you know, i might not be on that much the rest of the summer... (but, then again, i tend to change my mind lots!!!) Anyway, Job's finally swung into high gear(sigh, knew it couldn't last), taking 15 hours of school(online to boot) and plus i'm chasing after this really really really kewl astrology grl, i've met (oooooooo, stars)... Ah, the thrill of the hunt (never had to do that before, looks fun, though a trifle frustrating, honestly i have no idea how ppl put up with this sort of thing...), and i'm learning so much, i never knew before... Like, i'm an Aries 5 and it's seems to mean, i'm a creative liberal type that bounces from here and there, to and fro... from idea to idea, till crash-tilt-burn-meltdown-gameover-low-blood-sugar-dying-must-need-get-argh-mental exhaution or firery phychotic episode... whichever comes first... heh, and a truth seeker that not so much as won't cheat, but can't... yep that's me...this is so much fun... Like palm reading or taking a phycology test...(so what's your favorite body of water? ...TORRID WATERFALL!... OMG, you'r a freak, a freak... so, your place or mine! Or what's your reaction to a totally white/sealed room... paint is red with your own blood??!! ...um, okay think i best keep your results to myself...) Heh, but seriouly though, i'm a knowledge freak that will give anything (well almost, heh, you gotta draw the line somewhere, just remeber to use erasable markers, so adjustments are easy) a fair try, if for nothing other than a new perspective on things... btw... anyone ever notice starbucks... is waaay over-priced ...heh, like i need the caffee, ya know... drink water, lot's of water... sinfest.net/d/20020513.html Well, that's my life in a nut shell... revery the dreamlost "Protective goggles on..."

oh ya know what this reminds me of? Hmm, help me out here tolkien fans, my memories not what it used to be... Well anyway, if you ever read the appendix to lord of the rings, then you might be reminded of the last days of that elf grl (elrond's daugther?) in gladriel's forest after what's-his-name had died ( ara- something...the king of the long lived men or something...) Anyway 'liv' tyler played her in the movie... and i think this poem goes well with that scene... very nice. revery the dreamlost...

In my opinion, your very good. I especially enjoyed -within myself- and -tangled heartstring- -within... strikes a familar theme with me (or something near it)... i repeat it often in my head from time to time... the tradigy of loss... reflecting the time that has past, slightly probing back from the edge of your mind to see if what wounds remain... hmm, not the best at critiqueing others... but i think you show your emotions vividly... pealing back with harshness to show vunerablilities that lie underneath... well that's what i got out of all of it... revery the dreamlost Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

um, yeah X the I don't give up on the basis of op's... or whatever happened... i mean were not exactly dependent on irc are we? words and works tranfer through lots of other mediums... like our boards and emails... or some ppl even use those instant messengers i hear? Anyways, think it over... ...regarding the 'motorcycle book' um i still like it... It was an entertaining to me and a breath of fresh air after trying to digest plato...(i've given up for the moment... too much logic) and since have moved on the Daoism(prolly change in a month, yoga sounds kewl!) I tried more serious ppl before, but the work of Jung just mentally exhausted me... though his cuts at frued where amusing And Dante had too many foot notes... I'm taking refuge in tolstoy and j.d. salinger for the moment so i can gear up my brain and try again at some harder stuff... regards all, revery the dreamlost... Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

i like it... cause in the sequel he totally assinates the old narrator... it's fun... but i'll look up those other ones you mentioned... (hey i'm still discovering lots ya know...) revery the dreamlost Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

*note to Wyvern... revery will not be creating another side show spectical... well at least not this time... so put away that horrid cane... That said... you mentioned philosphy and greeks and crazy people... Anyway that points me to two books i recently read by Rober M. Pirsig... 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' and it's sequal 'Lila' Um, if you find the time, pick them up... I think they'll give an interesting perspective on your views... okay, later revery the dreamlost... Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?Edited by: reverie at: 7/7/02 3:41:53 pm

Oh kewl... someone else took it up Writing about writing is fun, especially when you can't think of anything else. Self-actualize the process! Um, but yeah, the words do tend get cheap on such a time crunch... But your pretty clever with you phrases, so it's fun to read... Good job. Anyway, I use such exercises to see what's in my brain... Then I may or may not come back to them later and expand them or meld them with other themes I’m currently working on... 'Cause taping inspiration can be tricky when your muse decides to take sick day, but crawling back into a familiar thread whose trail is already have beaten down, is easier... Well sometimes, cause then you run the risk of complicating it so much with competing streams of thought, that you have like 2 or 3 pages of random verses that you could maybe string together only in what order, or with what structure? ... Then you sign, shrug you shoulders and say, " jeez what a mess, how ever am I going to clean all this up..." So you give up, and come back months later with a knife and cut, cut, cut, ...polish, polish, polish... till you got something sort of okay enough to make a coherent draft... Or you give up in disgust.... Write a splinter poem on trying to write your other poem, self congratulates yourself on you cleverness... then conveniently forgot about you other poem... Even though you know, that that monster is just setting there, waiting. Waiting to pounce you when you lest expect it... Screaming, "finish me you lazy coward! Work, fix, bind, mend something anything, ... Look at me!" Um, well that how it is for me, well sometimes... revery the dreamlost "i'm only slightly out of focus" the dream continues...

wow, nice theme... I especially like the duality of the the half-boiled versus soft-boiled... pretty creative revery the dreamlost Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

Anyone read Robert Frost... Someone pointed out to me, that one of poems (dark rainy night) reminded them of frost... So just picked up a book of his poems... To see for myself... Oh i've heard of him before; i mean who hasn't had that 'good neighbors make good fences' poem shoved down their throat in grade school... Anyway once the stigma of school was removed (plus a few years of growth) i find that, i really like his work... Not sure what other stuff he's really known for, 'cause i just reading all his stuff chronolocally... Yep, yep, he's going to the top of the list for right now, sorry Poe, sorry D. Thomas... you've been bumped down a notch... Anyways, in looking at his handywork in poems like "to a thawing wind" or "revelation" or "flowering gathering" or "tuft of flowers" I recognize similar things that i try to do(or atleast would looove to do), but as meager sparks when compared to blazing phoenix flames of his work... Kinda gives me something to shoot for, say in like 50 years!!! Anyway's i think, i've found a mentor or sorts to learn from... too bad he's dead, oh well, but most known poets are anyways, so it's not so bad i guess... Okay, just sort of glad to have found some artistic direction and wanted to share revery the dreamlost "if nothing else, you'll learn patience or go nuts; which ever comes first." (me, on the military) the dream continues... p.s... In editing this, I just noticed i'm at 111 posts... Alright i get to make a wish... hmm, what to wish for... so many things, oh sweet vanity thy name is revery... Um, anyway, i choose to go against convention, not to wish for anything as lofty as world peace... (because i like mars, just how he is- see peers anthony) Or more wishes, or something so impure as an island full of lovely sirens, the likes of which to rival tenchi or that guy from nadesco (see anime) cause you gotta sleep sometime, ya know... Anyways, back to the wish thing... I wish to lay to rest all my past regrets, which haunt my soul... that's all take care all...

hey everyone... i can't sleep, i really should, but i can't cause, i've be caffienated(yeah i know, kidstuff, but tell that to someone that been on a health kick for a few months combined with the mythical mystical runner's high!!! OMG, what fun!!) Strike a light to let all in... For now's a time to begin: The dreams you hold so dear and near... Can make you shudder Then fill with tears.... Seen so clear at edge of night To fade so quickly under dawn's hard light.... Rolling over and squeezing tight You try, you try, to bring back night... Though dreams may fade in wake of day. All turned to ash by warming rays... Do not dismay, your visions lost For night returns, and soon you toss... With lovely worlds once more renewed... With all your hopes, and all you knew... revery the dreamlost "i need some meletonin, like now..." the dream continues... Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

hmm, reminds me of a spoken word poem... kewl... Hey, ty... come around more often or when ever you can Just one thing though... um your last stanza kind of throws me... With life being 'wild' and all... how does that cage you? maybe you refering back you your previous stanza's of life trails n'stuff... oh well, just wondering... oh wait a minute... It hard to put into words but, i think i get it now... um, maybe... Something to do with since life problems was so wild that you were forced to make changes in reaction to them that ended up making you feel 'caged' or even withdrawn from the harshness life... Well, that just occured to me, so i could be way off... But, then again all poems by nature are open interpertion, so you just might choose to keep it a secret, so people will wonder, and wonder, and maybe write and base whole stories or films off it, so it ends up being taught in great schools, where proffersor exclaim the true hidden meaning of it all to their confused pupils, while you just set back and silently chuckle at the lovely storm of emotional identification and connectiveness you've created... revery the dreamlost "yea!" the dream continues... note: i just had my first taste of caffiened i like a whole month, can you tell??? sorry... Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?Edited by: reverie at: 7/2/02 6:26:00 pm

uh, hmm, might try it... I have long four day weekend ahead of me, and i'm in a brand new shiny location because of my GREAT, LOVELY, FANATASTIC (insert light hearted with just a touch a deep seeded resentful sarcarism here) JOB... Translation: i haven't built up much of a social life here yet... but then again, who needs sunlight anyway... it's over rated... revery the dreamlost "i'm only slightly out of focus" the dreamcontinues...

...nothing wrong with a little black ranting, so as long as it doesn't infest every part of you life and whatnot... plus if nothing else, it's good material to pull from after you've sorted things out, ya know... Anyways, i like the poem... I can see the angst and frustration of someone tired of another person's act of just going through the motions of supposed caring and whatnot... hmm, reminds i really need to find the energy to get back to my darker poems... They're all just sitting there in my unfinished folder, waiting... "come on rev play ball, open a vein for the home team," Aye, all the anger, the frustration, the saddness, the rage, the fear, the freaking soul draining effort of it all... Well it's worth it, i guess, just hurts like hell... Okay, good job rash, also like you un-named story too... revery the dreamlost "um, okay..." the dream continues...

thanx... um, saddly i don't write music... I played sax for a few years and learned to read it... And i still remember some of of the theroy behind writing music... but, i really haven't the skill to sent any of it down... Enventually, i think i'm going to have to do like the singer 'seal' did... He bought a tape recorder and sung all the parts to his songs piece by piece into it... Then had someone transpose it all, till he learned how to do it himself... In my case, i could prolly ask my older brother to do it, well if he ever finds the time... but that's thoughts for other days... Um, just to point out something... That 'holes' a.k.a 'patch up' poem i posted up in the library is also meant to be a song... revery the dreamlost...

Blinking and doing a sort of internal double take revery stares at the messenge before him... As the shock sets in the dreamlost is sent spinning off into a full blown online identidy crisis.

Then swearing under muffle breath, "dang it, i knew i shouldn't have taken that copy of the 'The Bone Doll's Twin'" Then muses, 'ah, must try to put this as delicately as possible... well, if nothing else then, i can finally say that i can now relate to those cursed anime character with duel identities... sigh, Ranma buddy, i feel your pain...

oh... no disrepect... it's just the way i would have handled the word play... but then again i have a tendacy to edit myself into the ground and whatnot... (i solved this by saving my orginals, no matter how rough ...for inspiration's sake) But then again, my take is not your take... So it's really just a subjective thing... For example my tendancies would have had me write about the theme using the "the emptiness" instead... but that just how i handle juggle words versus concepts right now... (i really don't think about it, i just do it...) hmm, maybe i was a little too bold in suggesting... well if i offended in anyway, then i'm sorry... i just like to point things out when i see them... your more than welcome to tear into my work anytime... especially the ones in nyyrak's draft room... I find having a different perspective helps some. pub57.ezboard.com/bthedraftroom oh and i only threw in the malign thing, because well when i think of malign i think of a word like 'sinester'... so my brain thought... hmm, 'bleeding malignly' but that seem to alter it too much... so i just suggest 'so' instead... if that makes any sence... oh well, take care revery the dreamlost "joy and sorrow must take their turns, cold or hot we all must burn" the dream continues...
