What If Love Dies?
Mary Hathaway

Love has an infinite heart
and cannot stay in a narrow mind.
It is always sweeping on and on,
always living, growing and becoming.
And those who have stopped
changing and growing
have stopped loving.

We can think we still love
because we continue to go through the motions.
But where there should be
a garden of joy,
there is only a dusty tombstone
on which is written,

"Love once passed this way
but this heart was too small
to contain it.
It would not dare to grow
and yield utterly to love,
so love had to leave it----
long, long ago."

She Won't Cry
by Jppoet

You see the pain that lies in her eyes,
But, alas, her eyes are dry,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the anger that burns from her gaze,
The madness that sets her eyes ablaze,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the fear that closes her eyes,
The smile she wears is but a disguise,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the hope that is finally dead,
She cannot trust for her heart has been bled,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the love that lies within,
But she shall never love again,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see death's hand that has glazed her eyes,
No one saw her die inside,
They won't cry.
No, they won't cry.

Till Light Breaks

I've never seen a night so long or so quiet
A cold wind whispers his name through the pines
While night clouds race across a starless sky sublime
If God made the day, then the devil made this night

Tonight my memories are chasing him in my mind
And what havoc they wreak in their desperate plight
To catch him, hold him, only to find,
He has vanished, slipped away into the everlasting night

Still I don't know what I did wrong,
What I should have said, should have done
I would never have guessed I could hurt so long
But then I never expected him to be gone

I walk to the window and peer into the endless night
The clouds and the wind are gone now, there's only the moon
And tall, dark trees jutting up toward the ebony sky
A night bird calls out and my heart is filled with gloom

I never knew love until I knew you, love
Now all is gone, another's arms hold you
Another's lips sets your heart on fire, love
And someone else hears you whisper 'I love you'

I'm afraid this night will outlast the bottle of wine
Then what will I do, while I wait on the light
Of the sun breaking o'er the tall pines in the morning sky
To give me reprieve till the next eternal night.

Letting Go

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend;
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don't really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must;
The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find;
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God's best come your way;
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.

I Hide To Cry

I hide to cry
because I have no where to call my own
and "happily ever after" is a land too far away,
just after once- upon- a- time; just this side of the rainbow

and no one really cares anyway

I hide to cry
because I know I will never leave this place
and dreams don't really come true
its just all make- believe

and it really doesn't matter

I hide to cry
because my weakness brings my tears
and I have no one to hold me close
no one here who loves me

and no one really cares anyway

I hide to cry
because I embarrass the moon
and she is my only friend
but she's too far away to hold my hand

and it really doesn't matter anyway

I hide to cry
because no one really cares anyway
and is this pain even real
it really doesn't matter

and no one really cares anyway

I hide to cry
because no one validates my pain
and no one really cares
so why should I

and it really doesn't matter anyway

Convalescent
Dorothy Parker


How shall I wail, that wasn't meant for weeping?
Love has run and left me, oh, what then?
Dream, then, I must, who never can be sleeping;
What if I should meet Love, once again?
What if I met him, walking on the highway?
Let him see how lightly I should care.
He'd travel his way, I would follow my way;
Hum a little song, and pass him there.

What if at night, beneath a sky of ashes,
He should seek my doorstep, pale with need?
There could he lie, and dry would be my lashes;
Let him stop his noise, and let me read.

Oh, but I'm gay, that's better off without him;
Would he'd come and see me, laughing here.
Lord! Don't I know I'd have my arms about him,
Crying to him, "Oh, come in, my dear!"

Knowing When Love Is Through
  Michael Mack

Once an egg is broken, it can never be replaced.
You're not the one to fall.
Once a word is written, it can never be erased.
Once a shoe has worn out, its usefulness has, too
And one of the things of knowing love
Is knowing when it's through.

Once a flower has wilted, its fragrance disappears
Once a word is spoken, it will echo through the years.
Once a match has burned out, it will never flame anew
And one of the things of knowing love
Is knowing when it's through.

Funny all the time spent on half-forgotten dreams.
Funny all the energy we waste on foolish schemes.
We wouldn't strike that matchstick to watch it flame anew,
Why, then, can't we know enough
To know when love is through?

So, on we go, relentlessly, in spite of tears and pain
Trying to stop the leaves from falling
Trying to stop the rain,
But, once a heart is broken, it will always be in two,
And one of the things of knowing love
Is knowing when it's through.

The Art of Letting Go
Consrael

It's over. He's gone.

Why do we have to part while the love is still there? Why do we have to suffer? Why do we have to cry when somebody bids goodbye? Why do beginnings have an end? Why do we have to meet only to lose in the end?

There are questions left unanswered, words left unsaid, letters left unread, poems left undone, songs left unsung, love left unexpressed, promises left unfulfilled.

In a relationship, one of the hardest things to do is saying goodbye and letting go. It is as hard as breaking a crystal because you'll never know when you will be able to pick up the pieces again. More often than not, they who go, feel not the pain of parting:it is they who stay behind that suffer, because they are left with memories of a lovethat was meant to be, a love that was.

At the beginning and at the end of a relationship, we are embarrassed to find ourselves alone. Unfair as it may seem, but that's the way love goes. That's the drama, the bittersweet and the risk of falling in love. After all, nothing is constant but change. Everything will eventually come to its end without us knowing when, without us knowing how, without us even knowing why. And we must forget not because we have to but because we have to.

In letting go, sorrows come not as a single spy but in batallion. It seems that everywhere you go, everything you do, every song you hear, every turn of your head,every move of your body, every beat of your heart, every blink of your eye and every breath you take always reminds you of him. It's like a stab of a knife, a torture in the night. Funny how the whole world becomes depopulated when only one person is missing. Just imagine, there are billion people on earth and yet it seems you feel lonely and empty without the other.

I don't know if it's worth calling an art, but letting go entails special skills sparkled with a considerable space and time. Time heals all wounds but it takes a little push on our part. Acceptance plays a part. Not all love stories end with "...and they live happily ever after."

Sometimes we have to part because of circumstances beyond our control. We have to suffer if it would mean happiness for others. We have to cry to temporarily let go of the pains. Every beginning has its end like every dawn has its dusk. It's something we can't control, something we had to live up.

It's over. He's gone. But life has to go on. Goodbye doesn't always mean forever. There will always be a place and time where questions will be answered, words will be spoken, letters will be read, poems will be recited in the night, songs will be sung in harmony, love will be expressed in solitude and promises will be fulfilled. Somewhere. Somehow. Someday.

Don't

Don't think that no ones loved you,
because they've turned away.
Don't feel they didn't care for you,
because they couldn't stay.
Don't damn the world for not returning
the love you feel you've given.
Don't hate the one that you were yearning for,
because he couldn't make a commitment.
Just think of him as experience,
and think how much you've grown.
Think of him as the sacred prince
who placed you on a throne.
Think of all your times together,
feeling closer since you're apart.
Think of your plans of now and forever,
and hold them in your heart.
And don't let yourself feel so much hate
when he's no longer your other.
For when you're both at Heaven's gate,
that man will be your brother.

Don't Ask Me


Don't ask me to cross the ocean,
Or swim the deepest sea.
Don't ask me to reach for the highest star,
Or fly like a bird for thee.
Don't ask me to say what's inside my heart,
For I shall never see the lights of tomorrow.
Don't ask to give precious memories,
For my life shall be filled with sorrow.
Don't ask me to wish upon my star,
To carry our love for eternity.
Or ask me me to cry or plea,
Whenever you turn to leave me.
Don't ask me after a year of kisses and embrace,
To take my innocence.
Or ask for my heart and hand,
Knowing the world for us to possess.
Don't ever ask me to say, "I love you"
Because before I do,
You have to find the key to my heart.
And prove your love for me is true.
So don't ask me anything before you do.....

A Day

A lifetime is but only a day
For some, love and an endless summer
A melody
While for others, a bitter cold and lonely winter
A tragedy
She is the sun and song that warms my heart
And lifts my spirit
She is the most beautiful dawn
The most precious delicate flower
She is all that I see, all that I am, and
All that I will ever be
My everything
The season has now changed, my summer departed
She gave all that she would
A love gone bad
There is no sun, no moon
No song, no feeling…….nothing
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
You’ll be the sun for someone else
I just wish it could be mine
I still hold your fire of our love, tightly
Deep inside
Though cold, it is here for you to rekindle
For you, my Day is yours
From now until the end of all time

I Sit and Wonder

I sit and wonder
has it all been a lie
as I cry
and wonder why
you say you care
do I dare
believe in you
tell me is it true
can I believe in you?

Love is Like a Butterfly
by Annie  

Love is like a butterfly
That flaps its wings as it goes by.
It beats a rythm
Quietly sings
So much beauty
In those wings.
It doesn't stay
To let you see
Just how beautiful it can be
It hovers lightly
Teasing..'touch me, try'
Then as you reach
It says goodbye.
Love is like a butterfly
You think you've caught it
Then it flies!

A poem by my good good friend Neal aka Daffy Duck

HAPPINESS?
what is happiness?
is it a state of mind?
is it a fact of life?
can it be mine?
is it something everyone is entitled to?
do you make it yourself?
does it just come to you?
if you make it, how do you make it?
if it comes to you, then who gives it?
how much do you deserve?
how little do you deserve?
does it give riches like wealth?
is happiness contagious?
why am i not infected?

The Raven....  yes I think it's kinda sad.... I'll post it here then for you  ;)

THE RAVEN


  Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
  While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
                Only this, and nothing more."

  Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
  Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
  From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
                Nameless here for evermore.

  And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
  So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
  "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
                This it is, and nothing more."

  Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
  But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
  And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-
                Darkness there, and nothing more.

  Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
      fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
  But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
  And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
                Merely this, and nothing more.

  Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
  "Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
  Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
                'Tis the wind and nothing more."

'cont....

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and
      flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
  Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed
      he;
  But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
                Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no
      craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore-
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
                Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

  Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore;
  For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
  Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door-
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
                With such name as "Nevermore."

  But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
  Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered-
  Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown
      before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
                Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

  Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
  Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
  Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore-
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
                Of 'Never- nevermore'."

  But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and
      door;
  Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
  Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
                Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

  This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
  This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
  On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
                She shall press, ah, nevermore!

  Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
  "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he
      hath sent thee
  Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
                Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

  "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or
      devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
  Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
  On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
                Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

  "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or
      devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore-
  Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
  It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
                Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

  "Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked,
      upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
  Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
  Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
      door!"
                Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

  And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
  And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
  And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the
      floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
                Shall be lifted- nevermore!

Love Unexpressed

The sweetest notes among the human heart-strings are dull with rust;
The sweetest chords, adjusted by the angels, are clogged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dreary music upon the self-same strains,
While sounds of crime, and fear, and desolation, come back in sad refrains.

On through the world we go, an army marching with listening ears,
Each longing, sighing, for the heavenly music he never hears;
Each longing, sighing, for a word of comfort, a word of tender praise,
A word of love, to cheer the endless journey of earth's hard, busy days.

They love us, and we know it; this suffices for reason's share.
Why should they pause to give that love expression with gentle care?
Why should they pause? But still our hearts are aching with all the gnawing pain
Of hungry love that longs to hear the music, and longs and longs in vain.

We love them, and they know it; if we falter, with fingers numb,
Among the unused strings of love's expression, the notes are dumb.
We shrink within ourselves in voiceless sorrow, leaving the words unsaid,
And, side by side with those we love the dearest, in silence on we tread.

Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in silence its fate fulfils,
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music beyond the distant hills.
The only difference of the love in heaven from love on earth below Is:
Here we love and know not how to tell it, and there we all shall know.

The following are not poems, they are sad thoughts and quotes...... :-[ I don't want to make anyone feel sad by reading this, just want to share this with you,...hope it's okay?  ???



"It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person known how you feel."


"Tears are the unspoken words."



"Most broken hearts are caused by unspoken words."


"Well, there goes my heart again; I guess it's just askin' to get broken."


"Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know, Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed away with tears."


"Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met."
   


  "The greatest ironies of life: having the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right, and finding out that you love someone after that person walks out of your sight ...."

"We enjoy warmth because we have been cold.
We appreciate light because we have been in darkness.
By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness."
~~-David Weatherford


"However long the night, the dawn will break. "



"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing."
~~Anais Nin~~



"Sadness flies away on the wings of time."
~~Jean de La Fontaine ~~


"Love can sometimes be magic.
But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion"


"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been."

I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
No time for mourning ain't got no time

Notice how her image saddens
How lonely she's become
Just once I'd like to see her happy

We smile and smile
We smile and smile
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climb and climb
We climb and climb
Footfall softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We role and role
We role and role
Help me role away the stone

Oh not really Wabbit... ;D I just love poems, but thanks anyway.....  ;)


Since I'm in a sad mood here are more sad quotes.... :-[

~~How lucky am I to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.~~



~~Why is it easy to fall in love and yet so hard to be loved back? why should I feel such if destiny permits me not? why do I have to fall if it's you I cant have? why is there a "you" in "me" but never a "me" in "you"?~~



~~With you my heart will always stay. With you my thoughts will be every day. You remain to be the one that I regret letting get away. Why didn't I say what I needed to say? You are the one I will always use my wishes on. You are the one I will always wish was never gone. I'll constantly wonder what went wrong. I'll forever think of what I could've did that was never done.~~



~~I could fill a thousand pages telling you how I felt and still you would not understand. So now I leave without a sound, except that of my heart shattering as it hits the ground.~~



~~It hurts to see you walk away. For admit it or not, you were an important part of my life and the time we shared will forever be a part of me. So even though I realize that it was never meant to be, still, it hurts.~~



~~True love? I used to believe it existed, but when you’ve had your heart torn out and thrown on the floor, you just don’t care anymore. . Ask me why I keep on loving...~~

Alone

When I feel alone I think of you

The memory lights up my room

I feel warm and alive

Invincible... Safe

I can conquer the world

But then I hear the words

"I don't love you"

All over again

And they echo so fiercely

My body shakes and tears fall

Until there are none left

And I feel alone again






Title: Somebody Else
Post by kianna_andrea on Aug 15th, 2004, 6:04am




Somebody Else    

I see somebody else
In me, of me, about me
Running me
But not me

Who is she?
What does she want?
What does she need?
This girl isn't me?

Am I there?
Or am I here?
Is my brain
In the cold?

Where do I go?
How do I know
When I've gotten there
That I'm there?

How do I know
I'm already there
Where am I?
Or am I even here?

Do I know you
Or myself even?
How do I know
Where I am?

Give me questions
To get the answers
From myself
Or you, or her

What questions
Do I ask
Of me or you or
Her

Who is she, anyway?
Do you know?
Who is she?
Where am I?

Where do I have the need
To go?
Where need I be?
Where?

When I think,
I know.
When I know,
I say and insist.

Echo
~~ Christina Georgina Rossetti ~~


Come to me in the silence of the night;
   Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
   As sunlight on a stream;
      Come back in tears,
Oh memory of hope, love of finished years.

Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet,
   Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet;
   Where thirsting longing eyes
       Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.

Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
   My very life again though cold in death;
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
   Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
       Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.

I Loved You Once
~~Alexander Pushkin~~


I loved you once, nor can this heart be quiet;
For it would seem that love still lingers there;
But do not you be further troubled by it;
I would in no wise hurt you, oh, my dear.

I loved you without hope, a mute offender;
What jealous pangs, what shy despairs I knew!
A love as deep as this, as true, as tender,
God grant another may yet offer you.

Love's Secret
~~William Blake~~


Never seek to tell thy love,
         Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
         Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
         I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
         Ah! she did depart!

Soon after she was gone from me
         A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly,
         He took her with a sigh.

Remember
~Christina Georgina Rossetti~


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.

Ashes Of Life
   
Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike;
Eat I must, and sleep I will,—and would that night were
here!
But ah!—to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike!
Would that it were day again!—with twilight near!

Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do;
This or that or what you will is all the same to me;
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through,—
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.

Love has gone and left me,—and the neighbors knock and
borrow,
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse,—
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's this little street and this little house.

Departure
 

It's little I care what path I take,
And where it leads it's little I care;
But out of this house, lest my heart break,
I must go, and off somewhere.

It's little I know what's in my heart,
What's in my mind it's little I know,
But there's that in me must up and start,
And it's little I care where my feet go.

I wish I could walk for a day and a night,
And find me at dawn in a desolate place
With never the rut of a road in sight,
Nor the roof of a house, nor the eyes of a face.

I wish I could walk till my blood should spout,
And drop me, never to stir again,
On a shore that is wide, for the tide is out,
And the weedy rocks are bare to the rain.

But dump or dock, where the path I take
Brings up, it's little enough I care:
And it's little I'd mind the fuss they'll make,
Huddled dead in a ditch somewhere.

'Is something the matter, dear,' she said,
'That you sit at your work so silently?'
'No, mother, no, 'twas a knot in my thread.
There goes the kettle, I'll make the tea.'

Deepest Desires

I want this and those,
everything that I can hold.

I want you the whole you
co'z i love you for all I know.

In this life I have today
will be done if you're away.

So give me love… give me life…
co'z I love you and want you.. just you.

I cry sometimes when I'm alone
to let my feelings go away.

But nothing will hold it.
co'z your not here.

I want you, to comfort me
I want you, to love me

But where are you?
Far away, far away, far away

I need you beside me
to talk to me, or to hold me

But where are you?
Over there, far away, away from me.

In this time, I'm alone
My whole life won't go on.

So please have mercy
And let me be with you once more.

I love you, I want you, I need you
to love me, to want me, to need me.....

I can’t put love off for another century

I can’t put love off for another century
I can’t
although the cry is strangled in my throat
although hatred bursts, crackles, burns
beneath grizzled mountains
and grizzled mountains

I can’t put off this embrace
this two-edged sword
of love and hate

I can’t put off
although the night weighs centuries on my back
and indecisive daybreak still delays
I can’t put off my life for another century
nor my love
nor my cry of liberation

I can’t keep putting off my heart

There's something in this poem that's so saddening... I just can't quite place it but the moment I finished reading this poem, I was overcome with a certain sadness,... you know, the kind of feeling like things will never be the same again? Does anyone ever felt that? :P Oh well, maybe it's just my mood,or maybe I am just overreacting. This poem talks about lost love anyway so I guess it's natural to feel a bit melancholic upon reading this,but I still want to share this poem here.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/kianna_andrea/44960_wallpaper110.jpg

From – Twenty Poems of Love
       
       I can write the saddest lines tonight.

Write for example: ‘The night is fractured
and they shiver, blue, those stars, in the distance’

The night wind turns in the sky and sings.
I can write the saddest lines tonight.
I loved her, sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like these I held her in my arms.
I kissed her greatly under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could I not have loved her huge, still eyes.

I can write the saddest lines tonight.
To think I don’t have her, to feel I have lost her.

Hear the vast night, vaster without her.
Lines fall on the soul like dew on the grass.

What does it matter that I couldn’t keep her.
The night is fractured and she is not with me.

That is all. Someone sings far off. Far off,
my soul is not content to have lost her.

As though to reach her, my sight looks for her.
My heart looks for her: she is not with me


The same night whitens, in the same branches.
We, from that time, we are not the same.

I don’t love her, that’s certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the breeze to reach her.

Another’s kisses on her, like my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body, infinite eyes.

I don’t love her, that’s certain, but perhaps I love her.
Love is brief: forgetting lasts so long.

Since, on these nights, I held her in my arms,
my soul is not content to have lost her.

Though this is the last pain she will make me suffer,
and these are the last lines I will write for her.

~~Pablo Neruda~~

Need  
       
       I sit working out excuses
To phone to write
The pain in my heart
Is not growing less
A long sigh
And once more
I pace the room
I just need to hear your voice
To feel your smile
See your eyes sparkle
To kiss you
Is it so wrong?
To seek your warmth

Phone Call

It’s over
In fact it had never really begun
Then why this pain, these tears
A void where a heart should be
The phone rings
Emotions race
Is it
No
Fifteen minutes to calm down
To stop the pulse racing
Just at the thought
It might be

Silence
       
Stay quiet...
Say nothing...
You will be safe...
So silence is all there is...
A void between us...
Words causes pain...
Turn away don’t look...
Emotion repressed...
Stay safe...
The silence is now...
So heavy...
It is a weight...
Too difficult to carry...
A sob, one sob...
Is all that is needed for release...
And then it pours...
In torrents...
Tearing at the banks...
Drowning all in its way...

Eyes Full of Tears

Eyes full of tears
heart torn
he waits,
like a fish cast upon the shore
he flounders unsure
to return to the water
or to lie gasping.

Her smell
her smile
all that remains
an almost invisible
memory of a blue striped sock
causes so much pain.

No rivers crossed
no mountains climbed
a hand not held
thoughts not voiced
all that silence shared
inside the prison of his mind
emotions rage.

Grey skies and rain
suck the colours from his life
wind blows but there is no freedom
no flight
only the sound of dolphins crying.

To Whom It May Concern
       
In Autumn,
as in Spring,
the sap flows,
the sap wishes to race
against heartbeats
before the winter,
before the winter
buries us
in her usual shroud of ice.

I turn to you
knowing that
unrequited love
is good
for poetry,
knowing that pain
will nudge the muse
as well as anything,
knowing that you
are afraid, fettered
to a life
you do not love,
& so unfree
that freedom seems
more fearful even
than the familiar
business
of being
a grumbling slave.

I lived
that way
once,
& I know
that freedom
is its own reward,
that it propagates
itself
by means
of runners,

that nobody
gives it to you,
not even me
to you,

but that you
must seize it
with your own
two quaking hands
& pluck
the strawberry
it bears
in the green
ungrumbling

Spring.

Tears

The tears fall faster,
Silently down my face.

Should I brush them away?
No, not yet, it still hurts.

The tears are empty now,
Feelings no longer rage.

So, should I brush them away?
No, nothing has taken their place.

A Cold Tear

A cold tear runs down my cheek.
Remembering the day you left
Cold, Bleak, Weak and in Pain.
That memory in my brain.
Slowly but effectively making me insane.
I wish I could cease the memories of the past,
And things that did not last.
But I'll be forever in this winter rain.
Cold, Bleak, Weak, and in Pain.....

A Girl In the Corner

Ignore me.

I do not realize-
I have absolutely no poise
and I have no ties anymore.
For no one can be trusted.
Will they all turn by me?


Assist me.
I am just a girl in the corner,
alone in her own miserable company.
And aching,
Deeply into despair-
Why do they stand by each other?


Leave me.
I want to have meaning too,
may be then I will find another.
And may be then I will prove it to them.
Will I spoil the standing somehow?


Stop me.
My imaginings are gone,
they flew out the window.
And I hear the odium’s bell-sweet release.
When can I get theses similes out of my skull?


Remind me.
I can not handle anymore dismissal.
I think that I will just lie down and sigh-
And perhaps cry with a bit more emotion.
What makes my mind so lacking in the finding?


Fake me.
I find myself wiping off the stares.
I hear the mutterings which only I can comprehend.
Words no longer spoil anymore.
When did the line end?
Lose me.


Ignore me.

Title: We Have Been Friends Together
Post by kianna on Apr 23rd, 2005, 9:47am



WE have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade;
Since first beneath the chestnut-trees
In infancy we played.
But coldness dwells within thy heart,
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together—
Shall a light word part us now?

We have been gay together;
We have laugh’d at little jests;
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts.
But laughter now hath fled thy lip,
And sullen glooms thy brow;
We have been gay together—
Shall a light word part us now?

We have been sad together,
We have wept, with bitter tears,
O’er the grass-grown graves, where slumber’d
The hopes of early years.
The voices which are silent there
Would bid thee clear thy brow;
We have been sad together—
Oh! what shall part us now?

Time Does Not Bring Relief; You All Have Lied
       
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide

There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,—so with his memory they brim
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, "There is no memory of him here!"
And so stand stricken, so remembering him!

"I loved you..."

I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while the feeling may remain...
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain -
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again.

~~Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin~~


another version of the poem:

I loved you; even now I may confess
Some embers of my love their fire still retain
But do not let it cause you distress;
I would not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and timid know.
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.

Love, What Is Love
       
       LOVE - what is love? A great and aching heart;
Wrung hands; and silence; and a long despair.
Life - what is life? Upon a moorland bare
To see love coming and see love depart.

The Dream

Love, if I weep it will not matter,
 And if you laugh I shall not care;
Foolish am I to think about it,
 But it is good to feel you there.

Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking, --
 White and awful the moonlight reached
Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere,
 There was a shutter loose, -- it screeched!

Swung in the wind, -- and no wind blowing! --
 I was afraid, and turned to you,
Put out my hand to you for comfort, --
 And you were gone!  Cold, cold as dew,

Under my hand the moonlight lay!
 Love, if you laugh I shall not care,
But if I weep it will not matter, --
 Ah, it is good to feel you there!

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
       
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

A Ballad of Dreamland

I hid my heart in a nest of roses,
Out of the sun's way, hidden apart;
In a softer bed then the soft white snow's is,
Under the roses I hid my heart.
Why would it sleep not? why should it start,
When never a leaf of the rose-tree stirred?
What made sleep flutter his wings and part?
Only the song of a secret bird.

Lie still, I said, for the wind's wing closes,
And mild leaves muffle the keen sun's dart;
Lie still, for the wind on the warm seas dozes,
And the wind is unquieter yet than thou art.
Does a thought in thee still as a thorn's wound smart?
Does the fang still fret thee of hope deferred?
What bids the lips of thy sleep dispart?
Only the song of a secret bird.

The green land's name that a charm encloses,
It never was writ in the traveller's chart,
And sweet on its trees as the fruit that grows is,
It never was sold in the merchant's mart.
The swallows of dreams through its dim fields dart,
And sleep's are the tunes in its tree-tops heard;
No hound's note wakens the wildwood hart,
Only the song of a secret bird.


ENVOI

In the world of dreams I have chosen my part,
To sleep for a season and hear no word
Of true love's truth or of light love's art,
Only the song of a secret bird.

~~Algernon Charles Swinburne~~

SHE SAT AND SANG

SHE sat and sang always
By the green margin of a stream,
Watching the fishes leap and play
Beneath the glad sunbeam.

I sat and wept always
Beneath the moon's most shadowy beam,
Watching the blossoms of the May
Weep leaves into the stream.

I wept for memory;
She sang for hope that is so fair:
My tears were swallowed by the sea;
Her songs died in the air.

RAIN

It was a bright day yesterday,
Lightning shocked me,
Suddenly it RAINED.

I stood out in it,
Hoping by chance,
You'd happen to come outside.
Oh,you came,tried to stop the RAIN,
But seemed that only the spot I was standing
Where it's RAINing!

But even if you did come out,
I knew we'd never be like we were before.
Maybe it's better you didn't come out,
It's futile,I was already drenched.
Besides, I needed not someone to talk to,
But a therapist, from being drenched
From the irrepressible RAIN.



Oh,unbelievable! I made a poem! Although,I don't know the right pattern of making.
Oh well....maybe, it was all formed by my deafening night.

Heart, We Will Forget Him
 ~~ Emily Dickinson~~  

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!

Dream Land

Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps a charmed sleep:
Awake her not.
Led by a single star,
She came from very far
To seek where shadows are
Her pleasant lot.

She left the rosy morn,
She left the fields of corn,
For twilight cold and lorn
And water springs.
Through sleep, as through a veil,
She sees the sky look pale,
And hears the nightingale
That sadly sings.

Rest, rest, a perfect rest
Shed over brow and breast;
Her face is toward the west,
The purple land.
She cannot see the grain
Ripening on hill and plain;
She cannot feel the rain
Upon her hand.

Rest, rest, for evermore
Upon a mossy shore;
Rest, rest at the heart's core
Till time shall cease:
Sleep that no pain shall wake;
Night that no morn shall break
Till joy shall overtake
Her perfect peace.

~~Christina Georgina Rossett~~

Choice

I'd rather have the thought of you
To hold against my heart,
My spirit to be taught of you
With west winds blowing,
Than all the warm caresses
Of another love's bestowing,
Or all the glories of the world
In which you had no part.

I'd rather have the theme of you
To thread my nights and days,
I'd rather have the dream of you
With faint stars glowing,
I'd rather have the want of you,
The rich, elusive taunt of you
Forever and forever and forever unconfessed
Than claim the alien comfort
Of any other's breast.

O lover! O my lover,
That this should come to me!
I'd rather have the hope of you,
Ah, Love, I'd rather grope for you
Within the great abyss
Than claim another's kiss-
Alone I'd rather go my way
Throughout eternity.

To a few of u who know me, this will be familiar...


The Search For Tomorrow

He opens his eyes and stretches
to the call of the dawn.
He gets out of bed and dresses,
and then, he stifles a yawn.

He looks into his mirror,
shakes his head in dismay.
The clock turned and date changed,
but really it's still yesterday.

Just past his door is a bright new day
where everything sparkles with dew.
He steps outside to yesterday's life,
while the birds' soft singing is renewed.

And when the day is over and he's back in his bed,
it's sometimes hard to fight the sorrow,
because the roads are cold and lessons hard,
in the forever search for tomorrow.

Are We Watching the Same Star?
       
I'm looking at this star tonight,
Wishing wishes would come true.
I wonder where I stand and look
If you see the same star too.

Does the darkness overwhelm you,
Where you stand and look tonight?
Do you see the star I’m watching?
Could we both stand in it's light?

Tonight although there's miles between us,
Perhaps our souls will somehow meet.
At the point this star begins,
Our hearts will find their beat.

Do you feel the need for someone,
To fulfill your empty life?
I'm wishing for the same thing,
As I watch this star tonight.

This gentle breeze I'm feeling,
Calms my heart of sorrow.
I'm wondering will it find you,
And soothe your heart tomorrow.

A hopeless born romantic,
Ever searching for true love.
Wishing wishes in the darkness
To this star that hangs above.

How Long Shall I Pine
by John Fletcher
           
How long shall I pine for love?
How long shall I sue in vain?
How long like the turtle-dove
Shall I heavily thus complain?

Shall the sails of my love stand still?
Shall the grists of my hopes be unground?
Oh fie, oh fie, oh fie, oh fie!
Let the mill, let the mill go round.

Seek Not My Heart
by Kit McCallum
Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth.
For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures,
and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.

For everything there must come a last.

A last minute, a last hour, a last month, day, or year.

A last drink, a last coke, a last tequila, scotch, or beer.

A last love, a last heart, a last kiss, hug, or rage...

Or even the last words written on a page.

But the worst last thing is your last breath
because what is to follow will surely be your death.
