online today!Enough As Can Be ....
I want that somebody who'll be the first to support me,
protect ... defend ..... console me ...
Not the first one to emotionally hurt me ...
demean me... debase me...
just because I dont meet exacting expectations...
not up to par with one's "taste"...
And thereafter , seemingly punched in the gut
before getting thrown off the curb..
made me feel ... for one brief moment ...
like a crumpled piece of waste ...
It perplexes me how somebody can hurt
the one they supposedly love..
when I would have thrown myself infront
to protect him from any peril thereof...
Pointless to ask " how" or "why" ...
no any reshoot possible...
no words said nor deed done deletable
to prevent the tears
already shed and now dry...
I have learned that while giving / sharing
most of my love & heart to one I love...
wisest to save enough for SELF-RESPECT ,
to cushion any hurt ...
if ever that ship hits the rocks
and gets tragically wrecked ...
A partner should be one's rock & safe haven ...
the very first one to care , shield and defend
instead of the ego ruining it to a sorry end ...

About this poem:
Going through the wringer as depicted in the poem... is a most harrowing experience , specially when one didn't see it coming ... Though a little worse for wear.. those who are well grounded recover intact .. and all the wiser for it ... inspite of the momentary hurt felt and pain endured ...Sharing this poem is also an ode to those people ... women in particular, but also men .. who can say " been there... done that ... moved on " ...
online today!Another Me
Who are you, I'd like to know
For you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when
I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside
Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean
At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain
But when you intervened
You made me seem so weaned
Like my heart's turned to stone
And won't be loved, it's known
I know this, my dear, it's true
But it's for your own good, too
For if you don't love, you'll find
You won't suffer in your mind
So what do you want me to do?
Stay alone and silent, too?
How long do you think I'll last?
Living life, steadfast
Don't worry anymore
It's better off, I'm sure
If someone comes along
And you believe they belong
I promise, I'll let you go
To love her too, you know
And if she loves you back
Together, you'll stay on track
So do you give me your word
That you won't cause me hurt?
And that you're not with me
Just for your own decree
You haven't realized
That we're just one in disguise
I am you, and you are me
Created by God's decree
You can trust me, without fail
And you'll see, your life will prevail
I wouldn't cause you pain
For in your body, I remain
So now, let me tell myself
What has been, shouldn't dwell
I'll make peace within my mind
And hope that happiness, I'll find
For you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when
I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside
Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean
At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain
But when you intervened
You made me seem so weaned
Like my heart's turned to stone
And won't be loved, it's known
I know this, my dear, it's true
But it's for your own good, too
For if you don't love, you'll find
You won't suffer in your mind

About this poem:
Another poem writen in Romanian, and translated to english, Hope that you will like it, it represents the struggle with myself i think :)
Infatuation.
I suppose even heaven can wait,
So is the burden on the heart
Knowing the disapointment you sense and feel
Once there never forgotten?
We have to move on
Like a train leaving a station but not knowing if you will return
Waiting can drain you to the core
Sure it was nice but to be perfect in this world does not seem to exist
We cannot close the door but the draught can be disturbing
A man has to take it, to be a Man is to take it
Move on until the next time it happens but there is always a chance
A chance that it will never happen again!
So is the burden on the heart

We cannot close the door but the draught can be disturbing
A man has to take it, to be a Man is to take it
Move on until the next time it happens but there is always a chance

About this poem:
It's about the early days at the start of a relationship.
online today!Eight lines to Bacchus
The grape spurts forth in gross and sweet profusion,
The sticky juice under the crushers' feet,
When brewed a while, it leads to sweet delusion,
Thus helps shy lovers - when they first do meet,
Others find it brings them much confusion,
The morning after, when it has them beat;-
And Bacchus, from on high - I hear his laughter,
Don't let this god of wine now be your master.

About this poem:
Eight lines, may become more, at some point (I guess, then, I'll have to modify the title)...
Why Are The Lonely Lonely
Why are the lonely lonely
How do you define sad and blue
Why are the lonely lonely
One day it rains on me the next day it rains on you
Why are the lonely lonely
Someone should write a song
And heal all the broken hearts
That have been hurting for so long
If there were a magic voice
That could lead all the romantics
To a love that was faithful and true
Especially when love and honesty is way over due
Why are the lonely lonely
Is this a question in vain
Why are the lonely lonely
Maybe it has something to do with the rain
How do you define sad and blue
Why are the lonely lonely
One day it rains on me the next day it rains on you
Why are the lonely lonely
Someone should write a song
And heal all the broken hearts
That have been hurting for so long
If there were a magic voice
That could lead all the romantics
To a love that was faithful and true
Especially when love and honesty is way over due
Why are the lonely lonely
Is this a question in vain
Why are the lonely lonely
Maybe it has something to do with the rain

Description my dear
I tried to describe my beloved but I couldn't
My tongue was silent and unable to speak
My pen began to write the sweetest words
He wrote it in describing my love for a girl
You entered my heart and resided in it
A girl with very feminine features
Her hair was so black, it took its color from the darkness of the night
Her wide eyes and her pain took away the beauty of her eyes
Her cheerful spirit was as if the joy had been taken from her smile
Suddenly my pen stopped moving forward
He is passionate about describing her goodness and beauty
Apparently he had never seen someone more beautiful than her
My thoughts were confused with him
Because if we describe one thing, we are confused about describing the beauty of the other thing
When we describe the eyes, we are confused in describing the extremely wonderful facial features
I tried and tried and tried
So I closed my eyes so that I could remember or recall even a little bit
I tried in vain and all my attempts failed
Gentlemen, I will tell you how much I love her
I will tell you what it is for me
She is to me what the soul is to the body
She is to me like the air I breathe
To me it is as the eyes need to see
Humans also need food
The writer also needs his pen.
Just as the thinker needs his thoughts
I think I'm exaggerating how much I love her
Or do you think I am negligent in everything I said?
I will scream to the crowd that I love her
My beloved, a rose among the wonderfully beautiful roses
My dear Nasma Rabie
I was confused to describe it
My mind is paralyzed and my words have stopped because I seem to be stunned.
He was amazed by the beauty of that face, which looked like the full moon on a full moon night
Lost among all those imaginary features
My love, forgive me if the words in your description failed me.
My love, excuse my modesty in expressing my feelings
My love, excuse me
Excuse me........... Excuse me. My question remains for her
How do I tell her.......she has become my whole little world
How do I tell her.......that in her words I soar and fly?
How do I tell her? Her words perfume me like perfume.
How do I tell her? When she speaks to me, my words disappear and thoughts fly away.
How do I tell her? She has become one of my dangerous secrets
How do I tell her? She is a candle that lights up every moment of my life
Then she asked me the reason for my long silence with her
Should I tell her that I envy myself and my soul every moment I hear her?
Or what

online today!Violet Flames
Silently, whilst the phoenix sleeps on his perch
On the tree, it leaves the canopy in the lurch
In which the willow weeps, embers of golden fire crackling
A creator struggles to produce a ballad of inspiration,
That as the rose slowly unfurls
Its the epitome of passion and persuasion
As petals grow, unwittingly beautiful
Old as the resembelence of a royal Earl too
And the stem of growth is a sheer emerald green
That warrants not everything is meant to be seen
As the passion begins to teem with a scene
That whirls into a revelation of repute
Building up the families of the dispute
Two parties flock to the scene, in which,
The paternal figures both turn angry red
As all becomes war and bloodshed
In the tears, as it unfolds, the story is a stone of gold
Mirrored in the grief that's taken from the monentious day
The tears wash the emotion and the sadness away
Memories still gathered at the time, but are toasted
By either families with a glass of red wine.

About this poem:
Remember when...
Haiku v Senryu
Haiku. 575 (Nature)
one spoonful of earth
teeming with tiny creatures
each with huge purpose
Senryu. 575 (Human Foibles)
youths stared down at phones
a full rainbow blessed the sky
alas they missed it
one spoonful of earth
teeming with tiny creatures
each with huge purpose
Senryu. 575 (Human Foibles)
youths stared down at phones
a full rainbow blessed the sky
alas they missed it

About this poem:
The subtle difference betweenHaiku & Senryu.
The Black Mermaid
Dark as any bark on a winter day
Frost that clings to her contours
An outline takes shape in the rocks
Her sculpture worn smooth by time
Standing over an ever restless sea
A protective guardian over her tomb
Carved in the same expressionless look
Casting her gaze over all the lost souls
Forever trapped in the tranquil deep
Reaching back are tales of ancient times
She watches relentlessly silent and still
The generations of sea birds come and go
All passing by and falling under her spell
Frost that clings to her contours
An outline takes shape in the rocks
Her sculpture worn smooth by time
Standing over an ever restless sea
A protective guardian over her tomb
Carved in the same expressionless look
Casting her gaze over all the lost souls
Forever trapped in the tranquil deep
Reaching back are tales of ancient times
She watches relentlessly silent and still
The generations of sea birds come and go
All passing by and falling under her spell

About this poem:
Writing about a familiar outcropping of rocks that sometimes take shape and form in the crevices of our mind like passing clouds and give us all a sense of place in time.
Amour
My heart hurts
Tears stream down my face
I need to be happy
My life,.. I need to fully embrace
To many tears..goodbye, so long
Only laughter from now on..
Surrounded by friends that I hold dear
Celebrating Life with Exuberant Cheer
I want to dance in the rain
Drink champagne
Feel the blood pump through my veins
To go a little bit insane
I want to spread my wings and soar
Distant lands I long to explore
Walk hand in hand along the sea shore
My heart desires to be an open door
I don't want to be ignored
I only want to be adored
Tempting or mocking fate, I am unsure
Tomorrow I can tell you more
I just want happiness and Amour
Love,passion and romance galore
Tears stream down my face
I need to be happy
My life,.. I need to fully embrace
To many tears..goodbye, so long
Only laughter from now on..
Surrounded by friends that I hold dear
Celebrating Life with Exuberant Cheer
I want to dance in the rain
Drink champagne
Feel the blood pump through my veins
To go a little bit insane
I want to spread my wings and soar
Distant lands I long to explore
Walk hand in hand along the sea shore
My heart desires to be an open door
I don't want to be ignored
I only want to be adored
Tempting or mocking fate, I am unsure
Tomorrow I can tell you more
I just want happiness and Amour
Love,passion and romance galore
