You’re here, But I’m afraid to speak

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:58:23 PDT

Such intelligence is intimidating.
Though I wouldn’t speak at such High level in your presence,
I feel something that I haven’t felt in centuries.
Your costume used to matter.
Your costume isn’t important anymore.
I’m looking into you now.
Yes I know your color, and I know your dreams.
Insane we might say, but we are afraid.
Such is divine to all.
And it’s oblivious in your world.
Only if you knew
How your words move through me..
Slow and cold.
How your windows pierce through screens and fake masks.
I would clap louder.. but My hands would Bleed.
Then Again..
You deserve such sacrifice.

A Burning Fire

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:57:56 PDT

In a silent breeze
A silent cry screaming wind
A wondering voice
From a old women
A silent
Delightful voice from
Someone who cares
A blind women
Senses her way through a narrow path
A winding willow near the bright blue
Water

by Katherine Eillen Weisbrod

Thursday Afternoon

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:57:28 PDT

“But you’re not supposed to know,” he said.
“Yeah,” I sighed,
“but I just want to know a little,
like when you get a new book and you read the last page.
You know what the last page is going to be like,
but you don’t know the whole story;
you only have a little idea.”
He followed me to the bathroom, where I
started flossing my teeth, and he kissed me.
I let the white floss fall in my hand.
It was a good kiss,
not those quick kisses of good-bye when he leaves for work,
or the sloppy kisses when you are both
too busy to care how your mouth feels.
It was the kind of kiss that makes you
remember why you started kissing him in the first place.
And all at once you are not so afraid to grow old.

Love Of My Life

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:56:59 PDT

Here i am looking into the future
planning on how to get the picture
of love so pure that makes me so sure,
oh sweet love,like dew from above
coming down to sooth my wounds
and like the lark heralds daylight
that i may carry you beyond all bounds
to my hearts utmost delight.
This love,so blind and still so right
takes me through the darkest of nights
that i may awaken to find myself
as glorious as an elf
in this true picture of love
that is a gift from above.

Heart, we will forget him

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:18:34 PST

Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging
I may remember him!

I am shut out of mine own heart

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:17:57 PST

I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me,
nor in the wonders have I part
that fill its hidden empery:

The wildwood of adventurous thought
and lands of dawn my dream had won,
the riches out of Faery brought
are buried with our bridal sun.

And I am in a narrow place,
and all its little streets are cold,
because the absence of her face
has robb'd the sullen air of gold.

My home is in a broader day:
at times I catch it glistening
thro' the dull gate, a flower'd play
and odour of undying spring:

The long days that I lived alone,
sweet madness of the springs I miss'd,
are shed beyond, and thro' them blown
clear laughter, and my lips are kiss'd:

And here, from mine own joy apart,
I wait the turning of the key: -
I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me.

When I am dead

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:16:39 PST

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me:
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me&
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Remember

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:16:06 PST

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Beautiful Dreamer

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:15:23 PST

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

You Are So Beautiful

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:48:16 PDT

You are so beautiful,
The day seem so bright,
Whenever I start the day,
Thinking of you,

You are so wonderful,
The night seem so romantic,
Each time I spend the night
Dreaming of you,

You made me understand,
The true meaning of luv,
You made me realize,
Loving is not always having…

Dear My Love...

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:48:16 PDT

First time when i saw you...
I felt something special...

I feel comfort...

u still have a special place in my heart..

Now i believe..
LOVE IS BLIND...
Just pray and hope..
Our love never end...

Embracement of Dreams

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 21:01:10 PDT

I hear the whine
of people singing my name
pretending everything is fine
hiding in their own shame

Disgusting the very stance
of vanity, wiltting flowers
who seek the pleasure of glance
of beauty from criers

Then finally blushing red
within the very voice of Love
from the sweetest lad
in short, dreamless sleep I have

Days sicken every fiber of my beings
and I'm searching for darkness
where there are no moan and feelings
only Love I brought from sickness

Then finally find him there
waiting in the quiet battlefield
smiling so true everywhere
and his soft face become my shield

In his embrace I shall rise

Embracement of Liest

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 21:01:10 PDT

I sit here in the middle of existence
questioning the very truth of life
trying to understand every changes
and lies are my company

When all reasons is fading
sins and awe know no bounds
I'm trying to listen and to believe
and lies are my company

Real pains feel so true
while faraway Love feels so far
I don't know what can save me
and lies are my company

Facing every perilous enemy
with reasons as shields and armor
defending thousand piercing words
and lies are my company

When all my shield broke
armors breached and sword fell
with no castle to return to
and lies are my company

I became the witness of truth
and hopes of every grandest dreams
that will soon perish
and lies are my only company

Red Lullaby

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:16:06 PST

Come, Princess of Rose
Step to your chamber
Away to the bed of slumber.
Let the veils turn close.

I'll sing you the song
Of macabre and tombstone.
Sleep, my rosy tone.
See the Love you miss so long.

Bade your dress of lace.
Close your eyes benerath the Red.
Sweet, give me your sweet pet.
I'll sing of your sweet face.

Dear my Rose, see you again
In eternal dream and shadow.
Go to the silent meadow
And wake up in the land of foreign.

Dear my Rose, dream of me'
Beside you I'll walk the way
To your dream I'll go away.
Sleep, my Love, I'll always see.

The Last Wish

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:10:04 PST

if I try to describe this
silence, no voice over my head
silence, no authority instead
my point of view became a hiss

and if I try to utter the word
fight, is what I've been doing
fight, no more battle and fighting
the blue have reached my lonely world

that we should keep our promises
I know that proverb far too well
and I saw the tiring battle so well
maybe my hope already faithless

all the blood and sweat I tear
and those of them in my skin
my sword fell, shield running thin
the ground is near, but I feel no more fear

if there is death between lives
if there is lie between deeds
I want them to know I fought hard

if there is doubt between steps
if there is tear between sins
I want them to know I believe

if there is Love in world
then I've seen it

THE RAIN IN JUNE

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Sun, 03 May 2009 18:31:50 PDT

Nobody resolute
Rather than the rain in June
Its yearning-drizzle is hidden
To the tree which has bloom

Nobody wise
Rather than the rain in June
His footprints is erased
Which hesitant in the way

Nobody skillful
Rather than the rain in June
The unspoken thing is ignored
Absorbed by the root of the flower tree

ONE DAY LATER

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:50:47 PDT

One day later
My body will die
But in the distich of this poem
I wouldn’t acquiesce you alone

One day later
My voice wouldn’t be heard again
Yet among rows of this poem
I will steadfast investigate you

One day later
My vision will be unrecognized again
Yet, in the letter cracks of this poem
I’ll look for you forever

Ray

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:20:30 PDT

How are you doing sunshine?

Still I admire you up to now

Loyalty, truth and trust

Don’t you know what is going on there?

Lord the almighty

Could you please always keep them?

Even raining or dray, give them your blessing

Although my feeling is hurt

They smiled at me with their deepest heart

Please let them to cheer

Here I am, without any abilities, except praying

Someday when the ray shiny

I’ll come back to them for a while

How do you do sunshine?

Peace be upon to you

My best for them

Big Dragon

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:50:47 PDT

In the corner of this city

Just in front of the rail station

It was just too early if the birds which usually sing gone home.

When I was child, a train for me was similar to a big dragon.

With patient I wait for that to pass and I run after it

Nowadays almost every single hour I heard and see people and I commute by it

I miss my childhood, a pax where I could yell and scream loudly to the big dragon.

I miss my past, an era where I may spoilt about anything I like.

In the corner of this city, one train drop the passengers by

Then soon left me, who could not scream anymore alone

I am in front of the station still.

Do not ignore me my big dragon, come to see me please.

Blur

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:12:30 PDT

Neither do I can recognize

When the blur covering your face

Neither do I could understand

Why and when the dilemma ended

As if life is a roller coaster

Someday you might find yourself

Far away and remote just above the blue sky

But then dramatically fall just beneath the sea

Please do not face-off

Just walk tall, so you can stand

Otherwise this journey would exhausted you

Neither do I can deny

That you just play the role

In the game in which no body unbreakable

Believe yourself, you are what you are

No need to fear.

Holy Pinky

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:11:08 PDT

One year ago when the first time we meet each other
Nothing words and nothing sentences from my mouth
You are the one, who none can be you if not you
So natural so unpredictable
You go when all of us want to see you are smiling
Then you come when all of us are give up to invite you
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is still in the God’s hand
We are really honor to welcome you
Being a part of this community, being a part of our story
Pinky changes sadness into happiness
Pinky makes darknees so shines
Pinky will always tune on our hearts

If you realise, all of people need another people, then why should you let pinky so colourly but lonely, no, company that pinky with your red, with your green, white, black, blue and all colour that you got, cause it’s a mercy, one thing that you can’t deny

Oh pinky I have nothing to give you,,,thank you for your everything
Come on tell me….who could be so pinky if not u
So please answer me, who is the most pink?
Today we left much stories behind us
From this moment life has begin
From this moment I want you to be happy everytime as you happy as tonight
Let pinky blossom today and forever
This wild world sometime make us don’t remember another
Only think that we are the one, we are the wonderful one..
Because of you too pinky we always have an inspiration
Just like this poem, just like this poetry I made
I know that all of you know, who is that pinky

A holy pinky,,,,happy birthday may Allah bless you always

Don't You ?

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:16:01 PDT

When you fall in my left shoulder

Really warm come in me

And you kiss my cold body

Do you still…..me?

When weep is nonsense

What a magnificent of you

I keep and I hold it till I free

To runaway….

Do you wish me to…..?

All promise could be a lie here

All hopes remind me the past

A jealousy, hate, cruel and conspiracy

Forced and frankly like a hell

Where is the paradise

In the sky maybe

But heaven you found here

In the earth, in the ocean, in the pure

I miss my past

Love and peace I ever have

I want you!

Just Make It

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:13:14 PDT

Make a move

Make it little bit artistic.

Make a wish

Make it real

Make a joke

Make it fun

Make an effort

Make it count

Make a dream

Make it true

Make a poem

Make it romantic

Make a love

Make it peaceful

Neither Here or Elsewhere

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:11:53 PDT

Cloudy sky today depicts my feeling

Flocks of birds are lazy to fly

I myself trap in a silence

Freezing and chilling had pass

However my heart remains unchanged

My dream, my emotion, my longing

Sky suddenly changes it colours

From blue sea into dark land

Neither here or elsewhere

I straight myself to be sensitive

Cloudy sky could you away for a while

Noisy around me but i feel the opposite

Leap Frog

noreply@blogger.com (poem) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:10:31 PDT

Jump ahead
2-3 Steps faster

Never underestimate your mates
Fair dinkum

No worries, what you did last night no one knows
Just like a leap Frog

Go away, and run away
Put yourself into consideration

Never blame yourself

I am here for you mate
