poetry from the heart and soul...

[peaceful-lady]

I never thought I had poetry in me..never tried before..
but this just came out of the blue a few weeks ago in a quiet moment..
maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't,
but it came from my heart.



Gaia
an orb
a piece of rock
spinning through the heavens..
then
placed here
were us
guardians in trust..
we planted
we grew
we saw the beauty
but then..
we needed
we got greedy
more needy
and now..
we kill
we lie
we cheat
we destroy
the beauty we saw..
and Gaia waits
and waits
and waits
just waits
for us to see
the beauty again
to protect
and heal
plant a seed
that we may
again
be guardians in trust
spinning through the heavens
on Gaia
an orb
a piece of rock...

:) There's a lady I see often in a city near me, I tried to talk to her once, but she just looked through me...
maybe one day she will trust enough to stop and talk, and I can put a name to this poem that I wrote about her...


black sacks and a lady, red cheeks to her face
from the wind, rain and sun she looks for a place
she wanders the streets in the light
and the dark
alone with her thoughts, p'raps a place in the park
wrapped up in her world, most people ignore her
a mother to child says
"look.. don't go near
she's got a trolley and I can see cider"
maybe once she was happy
had a life in the past
now it's just in her head
did the world get too fast
does anyone care
they just stand and stare
but
she smiles as she goes
on her way all alone
the lady
black sacks
and
a
can.

[peaceful-lady]

thank you freakymetalchik..:)

I've spent some time now reading the poetry here, a lot of very talented people...
you too...
yours have such sadness about them..

I guess maybe the best words come when we're either very happy, or very sad..

mine were just words that popped into my head, written quickly..

[The Instinct]

That's some pretty talented stuff. I like it. Keep writing.

[sexylilunicornbutt]

I also enjoyed them, especially for just starting out. Keep it up!

[peaceful-lady]

:) hey..thank you all for your comments..
that's given me confidence to write some more..
there is another that I wrote a little while back, I'll see if I can find it..

[peaceful-lady]

:) I used to share my life for many years with Bearded Collies..

This extract from the book "Owd Bob - the Grey Dog of Kenmuir," by Alfred Ollivant inspired me to write the poem below...

"Should you, while wandering in the wild sheep land, happen on the moor or in the market upon a very perfect gentle knight, clothed in dark grey habit, splashed here and there with rays of the moon; free by right divine of the guild of gentleman, strenuous as a prince, lithe as a rowan, graceful as a girl, with high king carriage... should have a noble breadth of brow, and air of still strength born of right confidence, all unassuming; last and most unfailing test for all, should you look into two snow clad eyes, calm, wistful, inscrutable, their soft depths clothed on with sadness... know then that you look upon one of the line of the most illustrious sheepdogs of the North"



He was alone
she had gone
they took her away today, those men in black
he didn't understand,
the voices were quiet
and
he'd hidden away.
now the door was shut
a deathly hush
descended
and
it was getting dark, getting late
where would he sleep
he decided to wait
she'd never let him down
she had always been there
so he sat
and he waited
it became light
the hunger
the thirst
the cold
the tiredness
would the waiting end
she wouldn't let him down
the door would open
she'd scratch his ears
fill the bowl with food
take the leash from the hook
whisper "walkies"
he'd jump and spin
his tail would wag
but
the door didn't open
would never open
again
he was alone
and still
he
waited

:smile: thank you kindly sir..

[peaceful-lady]

:) I found this today amongst other things I had written..
had forgotten about it.
It was written for a friend at the end of last year.
.
Today..

This day is a special day, it is yours.

Yesterday slipped away, it cannot be filled anymore with meaning.

About tomorrow nothing is known.

But this day, today, is yours..make use of it.

Today you can make someone happy.

Today you can help another.
Today you can make a difference,

This day is a special day, it is yours.

[peaceful-lady]

:) thank you for the link mariecstasy..
just dipped in there, and read a couple, 'tis a long, long thread..
I shall wait till later, and read it through with a glass of wine, and enjoy..

[peaceful-lady]

:) I spent some time there yesterday reading part of that thread..too much to take in at one go..
will keep going back and getting inspired.

when I woke this morning, this popped into my thoughts, and I wrote it down quickly..


.
~~~~~:)~~~~~

am I the oak in forest deep
among the moss, forever to sleep?
will I wake, to see the dawn
where love reigns upon the morn.?

Oh yes....
I woke,
I saw,
I felt,
I soar.

[peaceful-lady]

just seeing that posted there..
above my signature picture,
gave me shivers..

[mariecstasy]

He is intense and has very dense writing so it is hard to take it all in. I don't even understand half of it and I am sure it makes him sad:(

He's deep! LOL, in case you didn't notice;)

[peaceful-lady]

:) yes I had.
some need reading slowly and thinking through..
others I get straight away, but it's going to take time to get to the end of that thread, that's for sure..
but I'm enjoying it..

[snake_grass]

nice work peaceful lady

[peaceful-lady]

so sorry snake-grass, have only just seen your post here today..
thank you for your kind comment..:)
haven't written anything for a while..will have to remedy that.

[The Man Behind Blue Eyes]

well, i dnt write poetry, but im depressed lol and i was looking for some1 to read it. I basically am hanging wit my ex 1on1 and still have feelings for her, which is y i wrote this, I dnt think i could even call it poetry cause it sux and I wrote it in like 2min, but what the heck, none of u kno me lol.

I sit next to you,
All comfy and cozy,
I sit next you,
Talking and chatting,
I sit next to you,
Giggling and laughing,
I sit next to you,
Deceitful and Lying.

There’s a secret I have,
I can keep it no longer.
There’s a secret I have,
My pain grows stronger,
There’s a secret I have,
If only I could tell you my secret.

I cannot tell you,
It’s a dangerous secret and only I hold the truth.
I cannot tell you,
For it could shatter the night,
I cannot tell you,
I wish it would make light,
I cannot tell you,
I wish we could share this secret.

[peaceful-lady]

that made my heart stop for just a moment..for a very personal reason.
you say this isn't poetry, oh yes it is, and a very powerful message there.

you give the reason you wrote this, and it came from the heart.
maybe you should show this to your ex and then talk to her about what it is you want to tell..

beautiful piece of writing, and thank you for sharing it here.

[caliente]

... from your heart and soul ...

Very nice :)

[need_to_know]

I'm also just starting out. Would anyone mind taking a look and telling me what you think? I've only gotten friends and family opinions and i really want opinions outside of the forced positivity.

But i really really like the first poem about jaia:)

maybe once she was happy
had a life in the past
now it's just in her head
did the world get too fast
does anyone care
they just stand and stare
but
she smiles as she goes
on her way all alone
the lady
black sacks
and
a
can.

Many times a week, Mrs. Ester comes to Whole Foods.
She rides a pink schwinn with a black banana seat;
black sacks hanging from the handle-bars.

She will accept flowers, but not money, and speaks with spirit...
a few times last year she would have long empassioned prayers,
fine-tuning her radio, listening and speaking;
cords of song, rippling to the stars.

Of late, after a bit of tasty-treat,
she will doze head tossed back
or reclined on the cool black tabletop;
zoned, blissfully, like a comforted child.

'Beautiful weather, Mrs. Ester.'
'That it is...'
