Poetry & Prose

Basking in the warm glow of your elated radiance,
my soul longs for the touch of one embrace.

Your heart bathed with the conviction of love.
My heart is open, and naked...

Receptive to the possibilities and endearments,
Longing for the tender affections of just one woman.

Whose beauty shames the muses of antiquity.

And whose gaze peers beyond my guise...
There is no concealing my passionate sentiment.

Or is there want.
And although it is not wise,

I proclaim from every thread of my retched being,
Pity me not and bear not my fates pain.

For I am loves fool...
And forever will remain.

The first rays of dawn creep past the shades,
Illuminating the seed of every mans desire.

Golden hues beam across the silhouette
Of beauty, softly sleeping.

Each line gently accented only more
by the tender caress of the nights last rest.

So inviting a scene,
yet who would disturb such a canvas.

Only all too soon will she stir,
basked in the sun.

So sweet a sight,
what the day must hold in store...

And tomorrow,
the morning will paint anew.

There are strangers in my room.
Questions, and then silence.
"Who are you?" they ask,
and I scream for them to get out,
but no one looks my way.

I wait.

They sit on my chairs and I sigh.
They look straight through me.
I pout and stomp and they ask for more.
"What do you want?"
But they ignore my reply.
"Do you know that you're dead?"
And my whole world collapses.

And thus in anguish Beren paid
for that great doom upon him laid,
the deathless love of Luthien,
too fair for love of mortal Men;
and in his doom was Luthien snared,
the deathless in his dying shared;
and Fate them forged a binding chain
of living love and mortal pain

J,R,R,Tolkein - The Lay of Leithian lines 786-793

Shhhh...! :whistle: Haha, I know. I actually wrote that poem a few days back after watching Ghost Hunters, lol.

Hickory-dickory-dock,
The World rolled round th'epoque,
The clock struck One
--but just for fun--
'Twas really but seven o'clock ...

Hickory-dickory-hick,
Has everyone gone thick ?
The clock stikes six,
--a right dodgey fix--
In a World gone mentally sick.

Can you hear the drumbeat,
the rhythm of being and blood,
of humanity's core pulsing,
flowing through our water-wrapped planet
from gravity's union with our distant star?

There is a drumbeat, a tribal dance,
a living, breathing body
that cycles through every atom.
There is a council of all who dwell,
and those who can hear the drumbeat,
they sing.

Never stop singing,
for what is a beat without a melody
but a half-finished masterpiece?

Poetry can be;
Thought provoking and very fun;
Don't you think? Chicken.

Does anyone here write stories, I often feel frustrated because I can't get many people to read mine so it would be great to exchange writing with someone...

(apologies if I am hijacking the thread)

Actually,

Some time ago, I started a forum thread.

It is called : "From time to time a poem"

It is not "mine" ...

It is for everyone ...
