(Parody of a Shakespearean Sonnet "My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun".)
This is about someone who has loved their friend for so long that they can not stand to let their love be with someone else. The person is then contemplated by the fact that the beauty of their love will not leave their mind, causing that person extreme anguish. I wrote this when I felt that even though it wasn't a serious experience for my ex, them being so lovey-dovey with someone else right before my eyes, was the greatest pain I have ever went through before. This is just my piece of amateur work, but it does express my true emotions even now.
It started out as a thought on the destruction and death in the former Yugoslav republics and then just sort of wandered! By the way, if you caught the Pink Floyd reference, then you are REALLY OLD!!! ;) Yeah, I know, me too.
The title says it all!
God can not be seen because God nature is different from human. God did not make humanman in his/her image, but it is human who decided to make God in human image in order to give meaning to life.
This is a song that I wrote a while back. Hope you like it. Made my drummers girlfriend cry
I am re-posting this out of curiosity, it was the first one I posted but it wasn't noticed, even though I think that it is my best. It is about my first love (as if you couldn't tell!)
It's one of three surprisingly dark meditations
As darkness unfolded the old home sighed Once more another day has come and gone In the bright light of the sun the eaves lied But once more the house stood empty alone No one seemed to notice that no one cared In the daylight the fres
It seemed like the thing to do at the time.
After you left, my world not remained same. Everything changed; everyone changed and then Everyone started openly to blame Me that I was very much unshaken; That I beat you and fought with you. Surely, You know the truth, for you are not drive
My favourite poem by John Donne I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved ? were we not wean'd till then ? But suck'd on country pleasures, childishly ? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den ? 'Twas so ; but this, all pl
In the earlier sonnets, the poet's main concern was to persuade the youth to marry and reproduce his beauty in the creation of a child. That purpose changes here in Sonnet 17, in which the poet fears that his praise will be remembered merely as a "poet's rage" that falsely gave the youth more beauty than the youth actually possessed, thus expressing an insecurity about his poetic creations that began in the preceding sonnet. This disparaging tone concerning the sonnets is most evident in line 3, in which the poet characterizes his poetry as a "tomb." Such death imagery is appropriate given the frequent incorporation of time, death, and decay images throughout the first seventeen sonnets. Ironically, the poet, who has been so concerned about the young man's leaving behind a legacy at death to remind others of his priceless beauty, is now worried about his own future reputation. Will his poems be ridiculed by readers who disbelieve the poet's laudatory praise of the young man's beauty? Not, says the poet, if the youth has a child by which people can then compare the poet's descriptions of the youth's beauty to the beauty of the youth's child — now asking the youth to have a child in order to confirm the poet's worthiness. The sonnet's concluding couplet links s*xual procreation and versification as parallel activities: "But were some child of yours alive that time, / You should live twice — in it and in my rime." The poet's task is an endless struggle against time, whose destructive purpose can only be frustrated by the creation of fresh beauty or art, which holds life suspended.
Just thoughts and ramblings.
A little fun with the sprinkler...
Within Elysium Dreams love does shine.
Modern Interpretation.. I’m not like that other poet who writes about a woman who’s pretty because she wears a lot of makeup. In his verses, he compares her to heaven itself, and to every other beautiful thing—the sun and moon, the rich gems of earth and sea, the first flowers of April, and all the rest of the precious things on the face of the earth. Since I really am in love, I just want to write the truth, and when I do, believe me—my lover is as beautiful as any human being, though maybe not as bright as the stars. Whoever actually likes those love-poem clichés can say more; I’m not trying to sell anything, so I won’t waste time with praise
What passion has she awoke in me What hunger she made me feel Never had a woman touched my very Soul As if she walked right through me Taking residence in my heart Her lips embrace me Her breasts bid me come Her legs wrapped around me li

Slams the door Heavy the hinges grinds that Drewls within the stench of odours of others that have been before Light flickers Heavy bangs noises loud voices heard Six sides one is trapped One sits to one fate to one's dispair Stench of
I wrote this poem when i was feeling depressed and i decided to go by the riverside...
Nature. Where the growth formula lends its hand. The internal reflection of the root dynamic expresses itself and shares the mirror image as they blossom. When the acceptance root sprouts itself the mind no longer retreats. The journey seems possible
Written in memory of my grandmother in 1993.
Ich schaue in den Himmel über und Ich weine Insofern möchte Ich versuchen Meine Lieben nicht wieder zu mir Das ist das Fazit dieses Leben, das Ich sehen All mein Schmerz war mehr, als Ich ertragen konnte Und es dauerte eine lange Zeit für meine
In a world full of harsh realities we need to praise love
I have never forgotten my reason I have grown strong with each breath I've taken Waiting anticipating my season Victory is mine no matter what's to be The children are gathering together My heart pounds waiting release from the cage Soon it wi
My cat passed away and I wanted to remember her.
A sonnet deeply reflective of a crazy, sad world. When will 'our' the 'human' story become about righteousness … ‘peace and love’.
A sonnet inspired by a recent dream.
i like the meaning of love and how it spoke true
The wheels turn the noise echos on the tracks voices heard chit a chat music loud deafens ones ears One longs for peace and solitude Destination known One travels to destinations end where one goes one is unknown till one arrives

A work in progress.
My childhood was left behind Now i am an old man Forgiving mankind i do my utmost as i can Love laces in order to bind Sometimes i feel like an icy pan Human touch that i don´t find... Maybe i am your unknown fan You know you aren´t mine

Not easy to translate it from spanish, I'm not sure if everything can be understood.
The twinkle in your eye The smile upon your lips The way you look at me Or the way your touch feels Why do I know its love How does this feeling ring true Without saying a word you told me But do you feel the same way too I guess all i c
A love as gentle as a tear and larger than the sun In a single lifetime There can only be just one. Flowing fields of green and colors of the fall Crispness of a snowflake Springtime and it's thrall. The seasons of my heart surround my y
