Mynx Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 An endless parade of partners Dancing circles in the mist Boundless love surrounds them Bonded forms writhe and twist Celebration all around Firelight catches dancing forms Driving shadows to the outskirts Hiding the one who looks on An endless parade of partners So that none dance alone Except for the lonely shadow Watching from his home [New Line: Sunlight warms my blackened heart]
cryptomancer Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Posted November 15, 2004 Sunlight warms my blackened heart, Memories of drifting tides depart, The soft caress of sand between toes That upon the sacred beach expose. I walk the waters edge again, Tide my steps wash clean of pain, My longing soul twists away, And walks onward into the day. Night time vision, the same scene, Beaches walked in lingering dream, My heart filled once agian with bliss, At the memory of our first true kiss. [Line:Bright upon my shadowed day]
Mynx Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 Bright upon my shadowed day Caffeine courses through my veins Adding colour to all I see Like images in fractured lense Bright upon the growing dark Fighting off the pull of sleep Struggling for reason in my words Only confusing those I meet Bright upon the dead of night Double meanings entertain My own thoughts make no sense to me As I continue to consume my bane New line: Complete and comprehensive range of thoughts
cryptomancer Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Posted November 22, 2004 Complete and comprehensive range of thoughts, All my mind knows, drawn out upon the slate of your beauty. I hold you in my arms as we kiss, and my heart floods With the stillness of Complete Love. Scorching caress of emotive flame, caressing my soul, Placing in my mind the complete knowledge of you. I see the threads of fabric that wrap your body, Know each curve that shapes the figure beneath. Drawn upon my being is the depth of your love, Your eyes are the heavens I seek, Your heart all I wish to find. I Love you. [line: Kiss of the cool winter wind]
Mynx Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Kiss of the cool winter wind Chilling heated blood Silver glowing of the moon Wiping memory's flood All except my thoughts of You Memories every present Thoughts and visions never leaving Whether moon be full or crescent Kiss of the cool winter wind Standing on the cliff Looking to my place of dreams Memories of your gift [New line: Imaging and entertaining]
Ayshela Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Kiss of the cool winter wind brushing across my bare face, freezes the tears in my eyes to eliminate even a trace of truth my heart guards in the depths, that no one may see that within the mirror i hold to the world blow storms, like the cool winter wind. New line: Siren's call of silver blades
Zariah Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Siren's call of silver blades, Echo through the walls of time. For hidden in a distant cave, Swords of Legend safely hide. Who will hear the maidens’ song To bring aggression to an end? Who shall bear the journey’s trial To hunt for precious relics revered? His name is Banda, hero known A man deemed worthy by his foes He delves in undiscovered places, Ready to reveal the past. Siren’s call of silver blades, Echo through the walls of time. Discovered in a distant cave, Swords of myth bring final peace. Next line: Figures dance within the shadows
Gwaihir Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Figures dance within the shadows; Peculiar fantasies within my brain. Just stop walking-feel them growing; Crazy figures, they're coming out of you. Poems. new line, born out of my original misreading: Kiss of the writer wind
Peredhil Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Kiss of the writer wind, Gentle drops dimple muddy waters; Unseen lips kiss upturned faces Bare to rain. Touch of the writer wind, Eldritch figures in the sand; Serpentine scrawls ripple waters Draws life from desert seas. New line; Fate of a burning moon
Mynx Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Fate of a burning moon 'Tis the time of Reap, my dear With the cry of Charyou amongst the crowds The end is coming near. Fate of a burning stake Death for you, life for our crops Left alone by the one who saved your heart But even he is unable to stop. Fate of a burning moon Human body, amongst the dolls Burning 'sins' away with hands painted red Is this salvation for our Souls? (Inspired by 'Wizard and Glass', book 4 of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King0 [New line: Confusion, it never stops]
Zariah Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Confusion, it never stops An endless winding staircase Leading to the eternal abyss Which route will you roam? Toward the sun of enlightenment Or away from the pain into the depths of fear Confusion, it never stops But in truth, can be contained If you have faith in change What will you prefer to do? Confront the unknown Or spiral down adrift in bewilderment New line: Flickering flame ignites the wooden staff
Sweetcherrie Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 A flickering flame ignites the wooden staff And the teachers went up in fire I did this not on my behalf But for the class entire Never did they inspire Or did they show some chaff Ungraspable how they could hire Those people that formed the wooden staff I hope I didn't mess up the interpretation of words here. new line: "She danced on silver wings"
Gwaihir Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 She danced on silver wings But soon that flying one woke up And said "now you get off my wings-that hurts!" okay, that isn't even enough of a poem taht I can pretend it's a poem, so I'm not going to give a new first line, but nice poem sweetcherrie. I felt the need to respond in the same spirit.
Salinye Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I didn't have a lot of time as I'm about to walk out the door, and poetry has never been my strong point, but I liked this particular line and decided to give it a try. Constellations of citrus glitter upon the trees, As if gems set within its emerald crown of leaves. Golden strands of wheat gently stirring in the breeze As if possessed with the graceful sway of the seas. My sightless eyes remember-my soul to appease. As if in answer to my spirit’s unspoken words and pleas. ((New Line: "Laughter penetrates the silence"))
Mira Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Can I pass up a line possed by Salinye? Laughter penetrates the silence That filled the space between us How long has it been since we've laughed together? How long since we've both let down our walls? Too long. The last traces of mirth seem to linger As if to make up for lost time And replacing the laughter is once again silence Accompanied with two knowing smiles. Obviously not. And now if no one objects I would like to submit the following line. "Words are not enough." Edited March 17, 2005 by Mira
Salinye Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Words are not enough... ...to mend the wounds of sorrow. ...to heal a broken heart. ...to wash away the memories. A look is not enough... ...to cause my heart to soar. ...to turn my despair to hope. ...to make me long for your embrace. A touch is not enough... ...to bring a hot flush into my face. ...to give my emotions reign over my mind. ...to make me lose myself in you. Knowing this is not enough... ...to make it true.
Mira Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) If you're not suppose to respond to your own line I'm sorry, but she ^ forced me "Words are not enough." said the mother As she tucked the daughter into bed "Not enough to let you know my love for you." And she brushed back the hair on the daughter's head "Words are not enough!" screamed the Girl. "I hate you more then words can tell!" And the Boy just stood and watched her go, As his heart slipped slowly into Lovers-Hell "Words are not enough." sobbed the Old Man, Who knelt before the sacred stone, "I never thought it would be like this; That you'd leave me here alone." "Words are never enough," I write. "To convey the thoughts of my humble heart. I'm forced to write my half-wrought poems Or else be torn apart." Edited March 17, 2005 by Mira
Salinye Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Lovely. Perfectly lovely, Mira. The new line I'm working on is: "Devotion drifting on a gentle breeze" A bit abstract, I know. :0) ~Salinye
Ayshela Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 She danced on silver wings, a graceful figure slipping through my dreams. Her silver laughter danced about my muddled thoughts of what it means when gentle folk entice in dancing, laughing dreams of what could be, to prod the fearful on beyond their safe confines with "come and see." new line: Windswept hair and scarlet smile
cryptomancer Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Posted March 30, 2005 Devotion drifting on a gentle breeze, Whispered notes of meditative prose, Words that sing deeply in the soul. Voice of the spirit, whisper of wings, Dance of the heart, beating again. In the joy of love everlastingly given, Rejoice, gift eternal from heaven. Windswept hair and scarlet smile, That stepped the dance upon the night. Footfalls of the enchantress, Light upon the echoing floor. Dance steps of love Glow in the night For longing again takes my hand And in the dreamy drifting embrace Of furtherest light and star My heart beats. Love tightly held, Steps timed to my life. "Early dawn sings of light"
Mynx Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Early dawn sings of light Early dusk of darkest night A life of mortality, death and pain Or one spent in an undying reign Live in the light, and soon lose all Or dwell in the night, to darkness' call Survive in one, die in the other Live forever, or lose your brother Evil life, or sacred death To which would you give your last breath? New Line - Hordes of emotions attacking the soul
Sweetcherrie Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 Hmm..probably not exactly correct, and I also feel that it doesn't flow at certain points. I changed one word in Mynx's line because that felt better. Oh well, here we go: Hordes of emotions attacked my soul Made me follow them inside Forcing me to look at my faults Illuminating what I had meant to hide Showing who I am behind the wall But I shy away from that bright light Retreat from knowing all from all Hold up the mask designed by pride A masquerade invoked to misguide To mislead the demanding voice Of a world that wants it downright A world that asks me to make my choice The choice to call defeat or fight They are pulling at me to give it all But I want to crawl away and hide To become that little fly on the wall new line: It was written on the wall
JaZzMaN251 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 It was written on the wall 'Bill Evans, tonight at Village Vanguard' A nice sunday afterall Monday had to start New day, new week Meet the other guys Play hide and seek Life is paradise New line: 'Then the second one came in'
drummondo Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 It was written on the wall That he was here. A solitary ode to A modern artist. Painted scrawls on Walls of saints. Tainted calls of Former greats, Stated for The greater good; Recognition. We all Wish for our names To be known. I know he was here. To me he is Celebrity. Famous, His name is a pillar That holds up the Rebellion. More importantly, I know he was here. An influential writer, One who captures A single moment in Few dripping words. You will remember That he was here. I know he was here.
Tanuchan Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 Then the second one came in, as silent and quiet as a wish can be; it whispered in my ears a purpose and a quest and asked my help in words and thoughts. "The eldest, the first, is gone now drifting in the breeze that sweeps and takes free at last to go where it wants harmless and fading from hearts and minds. Now I come - listen to me and give me life." So it was that the wishes were changed, the first frayed and blown far away by the love that dwells forever in my heart: the wish for darkness fading away taken by the breeze of laughter and life. The second takes root and grows as strong: the wish for happiness, for color and light, the purpose achieved of making me smile the quest proposed of burying all shadows. ~~~~~~~~ New line: When Time comes and touches your life
