About this poem:
In the poem Völuspá, a dead völva recounts the history of the universe and foretells the future to the disguised god Odin. Hjúki and Bil are the children of Máni and together they are the three phases of the moon in Icelandic and Norsk mythology. I had forgotten this story which I read as a child until I started writing this poem.If this post badly like i suspect it might, it is suppose to be a crescent moon.
Remain Silent
Even if seldom see each other,
My feelings for you grow's more stronger
I'm dying to tell but i could'nt i just have to
Remain silent
Its really painful to love a person
when can't give love in return
but i will not repent i just have to
remain silent
its better to love in a dream
nothings painful there is seems
dreams all are possible and imminent
but i just have to remain silent
oh! yes... i just have to remain silent
i cant have you oh i can't
i want to say "i love you friend"
but i just have to remain silent.

About this poem:
its a all about the feelings of the girl that she choose to keep it herself.i really like this poem coz its really hard to keep ur feeling towards the guy that u love. specially if the guy that u love is taken already.
LONELY HEART
Filled with sorrow sadness,hurt and pain.covered in unhappiness,will i ever feel love again?lonely heart of mine,please tell me will my sun ever again shine,will my lonely heart ever have the desire again to sing,ever feel the beauty that love can bring?my days are filled with many fears,oh my eyes have cried so many tears,from this lonely heart of mine.i can recall it has not always felt this way,oh please tell me lonely heart,will i ever again see the beauty in each and every day?

when the wind is blowing in the south of england,
are you in the right direction ?
what's today's time temperature ?
why to wake up the cat if the problem is insoluble ?

About this poem:
zazen hours over the invisible ocean..Eternity...
I see clearly now....
Now i see...
From the tunnel of Light,
I'm willing to carry this Sacrifice...
This cross...
To the Dark and Nothingness...
In the name of love... In the name of Loss
I'm not afraid,...
Trying not to collapse,...
under this cross...
I'm not afraid...
I'm slowly dying,...
To know i have to go..
I know i was trying...
Quick,...
The time is running, yes it has...
It's only left for me to go,...
To carry it to the dark,...
To become something,... That was...
The time will heal all the scars?..
maybe... but not my fears...
I see clearly now...
Remember my shadow...
In the name of Love...
I love you...
Now i see...
From the tunnel of Light,
I'm willing to carry this Sacrifice...
This cross...
To the Dark and Nothingness...
In the name of love... In the name of Loss
I'm not afraid,...
Trying not to collapse,...
under this cross...
I'm not afraid...
I'm slowly dying,...
To know i have to go..
I know i was trying...
Quick,...
The time is running, yes it has...
It's only left for me to go,...
To carry it to the dark,...
To become something,... That was...
The time will heal all the scars?..
maybe... but not my fears...
I see clearly now...
Remember my shadow...
In the name of Love...
I love you...

About this poem:
eh
The Little Dancer
Here she is just three years old,
And loves to dance about.
She spins around on her tiny toes,
And she gets dizzy and falls to the ground.
She gets right up and wiggles her hips,
And runs about with a jump and a kick.
The little dancer has her own little style,
She made her parents laugh and smile.
When the music stops to play,
She gives a bow and walks away.

About this poem:
I wrote four poem for poetry.com.This is in a book that I have and it is on the first page.I AM
In an instant
The world turns on a dime
Back where it started
Staring, thru time
How far i have come
and yet
I remain true
It doesnt matter
What others may think
My strength wells from within
Strong will
Strong spirit
I am
The world turns on a dime
Back where it started
Staring, thru time
How far i have come
and yet
I remain true
It doesnt matter
What others may think
My strength wells from within
Strong will
Strong spirit
I am
