Little Lessons

2010-12-05T04:20:00.000-08:00

HE love I bear you, dearest,
Would make the sweetest tale,
We'd sail upon a sea of bliss,
And I would lift the sail.
Our happiness would be sublime,
Surpassing tongue or pen.
You may as well learn things from me,
As to learn from other men.

"Oh! you have touched me--deeply--"
The young thing whispered low.
He pleaded: "Come! oh! come with me."
She could not answer: "No."
She said: "I'll be your pupil."
And softly added then:
"I may as well learn things from you
As to learn from other men."

They dined alone that evening,
And the young man got his wish.
They even broke the unwritten law
Of: "Nevaire before zee feesh."
At half-past three, next morning,
He staggered home again.
She had taught him tricks he never knew,
That she'd learned from other men.

Table Manners

2010-12-05T04:15:00.000-08:00

HE Goops they lick their fingers,
And the Goops they lick their knives;
They spill their broth on the tablecloth--
Oh, they lead disgusting lives!
The Goops they talk while eating,
And loud and fast they chew;
And that is why I'm glad that I
Am not a Goop--are you?

Tired Housewife

2010-12-05T04:10:00.001-08:00

ERE lies a poor woman who was always tired
She lived in a house where help wasn't hired
Her last words on earth were: 'Dear friends, I am going
To where there's no cooking, or washing, or sewing
For everything there is exact to my wishes
For where they don't eat there's no washing of dishes
I'll be where loud anthems will always be ringing
But having no voice I'll be quit of the singing
Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for me never
I am going to do nothing for ever and ever.

Funny cow poem

2010-12-05T04:08:00.000-08:00

HE Cow is too well known, I fear,
To need an introduction here.
If She should vanish from earth's face
It would be hard to fill her place;
For with the Cow would disappear
So much that everyone holds Dear.
Oh, think of all the Boots and Shoes,
Milk Punches, Gladstone Bags and Stews,
And Things too numerous to count,
Of which, my child, she is the Fount.
Let's hope, at least, the Fount may last
Until our Generation's past.

Examssss study

2010-12-05T04:04:00.000-08:00

Now I sit down to study
I pray the Lord I wont go nutty
If I should fail to learn this junk,
I pray the lord I should not flunk.
But if I do, don't pity me at all,
Just sit my butt down in study hall.
Tell my parents I did my best,
Then pile my books apon my chest.
Now I lay me down to rest,
And pray I'll pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
That's one less test I'll have to take.

I Love You

2010-12-03T07:28:00.001-08:00

I never really knew you
you were just another friend
But when I got to know you
I let my heart unbend

I couldn't help past memories
That would only make me cry
I had to forget my first love
And give another try

So I've fallen in love with you
And I'll never let you go
I love you more than anyone
I just had to let you know

My feelings for you will never change
Just know my feelings are true
Just remember this one thing
I will always love you

Take My Hand

2010-12-03T07:27:00.001-08:00

Please take my hand, come walk with me
I will show you the way, and let you see
How love and happiness will make you feel
And make your life feel so unreal
I will hold you tight
All through the night
And never let you out of my sight
For you belong to me
For all the world to see

Eyes

2010-12-03T07:26:00.000-08:00

I gaze into twin pools of warmth
Bright and sparkling
I see something indescribable
Something I can't quite put my finger on.

Twin pool, blazing and brilliant
Making all your sweetness
And all your compassion
Crystal clear.

Twin pools shimmering and glimmering
Showing how you're
Sweet, sensitive, caring and kind
Funny athletic cunning and friendly

Twin pools, so animated and intense
Help me to share
Your love of life,
Your life of love.

I gaze into twin pools of warmth and
I see the sweetest person I've ever met or ever will meet
I recognize a sincere and honest guy who can never be replaced
I realize you are so special because
When I look into your eyes
I witness a miracle, I find a friend.

On The Wings of A Butterfly

2010-12-03T07:25:00.000-08:00

Your friendship is special
Like the flowers that bloom,
Or when a butterfly emerges
From within its cocoon...

You remind me of that butterfly,
Loving and free,
Bright and colorful,
For the world to see...

We will share sunshine and rainbows;
Sometimes, the rain and the snow;
We'll stand together through it,
While the cold winds blow...

When the time is right,
We won't stop to ask "Why?"
Our friendship will take flight

On the wings of a butterfly ...

space is dark: 14 Interesting Facts about Dreams

2010-12-03T07:20:00.000-08:00

14 Interesting Facts about Dreams

1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams

Within 5 minutes of waking half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone.

2. Blind People also Dream

People who became blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion.

3. Everybody Dreams

Every human being dreams (except in cases of extreme psychological disorder). If you think you are not dreaming – you just forget your dreams.

4. In Our Dreams We Only See Faces That We already Know

Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

5. Not Everybody Dreams in Color

A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.

6. Dreams are Symbolic

If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. Whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to be a symbol for itself.

(bamboo for h.koppdelaney)

7. Emotions

The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Negative emotions are more common than positive ones.

8. You can have four to seven dreams in one night.

On average you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night.

9. Animals Dream Too

Studies have been done on many different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream.

10. Body Paralysis

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a normal stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eyes. REM sleep in adult humans typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep, about 90-120 minutes of a night’s sleep.

During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in the brain in order to prevent the movements which occur in the dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it is possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during, or after normal sleep while the brain awakens.

11. Dream Incorporation

Our mind interprets the external stimuli that our senses are bombarded with when we are asleep and make them a part of our dreams. This means that sometimes in our dreams we hear a sound from reality and incorporate it in a way. For example you may be dreaming that you are in a concert while your brother is playing a guitar during your sleep.

12. Men and Women Dream Differently

Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of the characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other hand, a woman’s dream contains almost an equal number of men and women. Aside from that, men generally have more aggressive emotions in their dreams than the female lot.

13. Precognitive Dreams

Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu. The percentage of persons that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher – ranging from 63% to 98%.

*Precognition, also called future sight, refers to perception that involves the acquisition of future information that cannot be deduced from presently available and normally acquired sense-based information.

14. If you are snoring, then you cannot be dreaming.

This fact is repeated all over the Internet, but I’m a bit suspicious whether it’s really true as I haven’t found any scientific evidence to support it.

Well, I hope you had a great time reading these strange facts about our dreams. Now I’m going to my bed to check those facts once again. Good night and sweet dreams!

See The Pain

2010-12-02T03:43:00.001-08:00

I still see your face in my dreams
It hurts and it doesn't help at all
I still want you in my life as crazy as that seems
I want you to catch me when I fall

I still remember the first time we met
There was something so different about you
Your friendship was something I wanted to get
That smile when you said hi to me was so new

Out of no where you called me on the phone
I wanted to sit there and talk to you forever
You were so new, so crazy and unknown
I just knew that our friendship would never sever

Two years and we are barely holding it together
What happened to the way this all used to be
I never wanted you out of my like ever
I sat there for a long time pretending not to see

We decided to go out and make it all all right
It didn't work out of course we knew it couldn't
We couldn't even really stand each others sight
It shouldn't end this way but it did and I shouldn't

I miss you and everything you were to me
Ten years from now we will look back on it all
We will be older and finally be able to see
That love will stand the test of time and never fall

Shadow love

2010-12-02T03:40:00.001-08:00

I stood in the shadows
As I had often done before
Out of sight, to see yet be unseen
To look upon that vision of loveliness
She talks with friends in the gardens
Unaware of me
Her skirt was long and green
From high waste to ankle low
Her crisp blouse of white
Enhanced to elegance of her neck
The long sleeves encasing her slender arms
Covered her fine boned wrists
Her hair was red
Red like burnished copper
Thick and full bodied tied back at her nape
Her eyes were the hue of polished emeralds
In a setting of perfect pale skin
No jeweller could ever hope to equal
Her mouth pale lipped, strong yet sensitive
When transformed into a smile
Illuminated her countenance
As if a light had been switched on
Perusal of every inch of her delicate frame
Returned echoes of a cultured creature
Dressed in the finest Edwardian elegance
More than a class above me
I step from the shadows
Returning unseen to my duties

My First Love!

2010-12-02T03:34:00.000-08:00

When we first were truly acquainted,
I nearly fainted.
You were everything I was looking for,
and even more.

A couple months later you asked me out,
I gratefully accepted without a doubt.
Now you mean the world to me,
I know we are meant to be.

I think about you day and night,
Never wanting you to leave my sight.
The first time we kiss...
Oh what wonderful bliss!

I love you more than I can ever express,
Your my first love that I confess.
I will always remember the way we held hands,
The way you never gave me any demands.

Your an angel that God sent to me,
If only we could forever be.
I don't ever want our relationship to be through.
Hopefully we never have to say a final "I love you"

You are The World to Me

2010-12-02T03:29:00.000-08:00

You mean the world to me.
I cant bear to see myself without you.
Having the taught of living without you,
is something unnatural to me.

We argue and fight.
We scream and we cry.
And even after all that we have true love.
You and I are like the moon and night sky.

We are perfect together.
But not for someother.
We have true love within each other
and everyday it gets stronger.

Place your hand on mine
and I shall do the same.
A promise we have made,
to love each other everyday.

Together forever
is what I want.
I hope its the same
for what u want.

Don't worry about me been so far.
Faithful I will remain.
Shall you remain too.
Till the day that we are apart by death.
And even then immortal our love remain.

Lost Love

2010-12-02T03:16:00.000-08:00

sometimes when i sit alone
i think of what i have been through
my life was not easy,
my dreams dint come true...

every little dreams i saw,
always revolved around you,
never thought all will be shattered,
never knew that it can never be true...

it came as a sudden as storm,
leaving me in complete pain.
nothing i could do to undo it,
crashing all my hopes in vain...

you said that you'll always be there,
in distress and in pain,
and when i needed you the most,
you left me and never came back again...

tears fill up my eyes,
still wandering where i went wrong,
my feelings for you was so true,
the love we shared was so strong...

now that you are gone,
my life is never the same again,
only memories are left within me,
and a broken heart that is completely insane...

but my heart remains forever yours,
broken dreams with nothing to mend,
a life dedicated only to you,
till it comes to an end...
