Flowers of May (Fleeting Feelings)


Tears pour forth from the sky as if
to repent of the most grave sin
Just yesterday, was it? So fresh and gay
the parade of arches and flowers of may

Coldest summer nights, I won't forget
this heavy heart in my chest
as i prayed to a distant god, or goddess
How gentle is the rain...
How terrible is the pain!

Turn back the pages to find
what someone wrote two days ago:

I can never be lost except in your eyes
I can never be caught except in your arms
I can never be down except under your spell
I can never be blinded except by your love

The fleeting feelings
became a glimpse of eternity
and when I look up at the sun
I'm on top of the world
with everything I need
and nothing to lose



I can never be saved except by your words.
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea,
I'm burning like a bridge for your body

db, that's a cool poem!  Thanks for sharing it.   :)

A couple of weeks ago, I did an impromptu song in my recorder.  What happened was I felt this melody coming in my mind, and then I grabbed my cassette recorder and sang the tune along with the words....I mean, I didn't have the *words* written down!  lol 
I have yet to write out the score(I compose on a rare occasion for piano and violin)and  I want to share the lyrics in this post with you.

*I FEEL YOUR LOVE*

I always feel your love with me
I'll never go astray
I'll never go astray,
But what can I see
    your eyes upon me
    that makes me smile
    oh, oh so nice.
But when I feel you
I feel you close to me
I'll never forget
    how I feel inside
I'll never go astray.
But one day I'll walk away
And one day I'll forget
The memories we may share
But remember this
I'll never forget
    the love I feel for you.
I'll go away and find my way
I'll go away and now
I'm all alone without you
I'm all alone without you.

On a roll here. I think twin titles are so cool, and did another one.


Sleeping in a White Room (A Million Little Pieces)


This empty bed has never been emptier
so I'm staying up at the asylum tonight
finding a home within those walls
from the ceilings to the sheets, all in white

Don't think I'll ever stand again
unless Wilson prescribes more Vicodin
so sad, so sad, I can't even cry
so lost, so lost, I can't even try
why why why why why why why
no no no no no no no

I want to die
I want to die
I want to die
by your hands
for I cannot think
cannot dream
cannot breathe
in this life

I want to sleep
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
in your arms
and not wake up
to this reality
to this hell
ever again

They locked me in
and tied me up
but still I'm falling apart
to a million little pieces


With eyes wide open
and mind slammed shut, I still
feel her breathing
and hear her saying,
"I love you, with my whole being,
I want all of you forever"


With eyes wide open
and mind slammed shut, I still
taste the kiss
of defeat on my lips
"I wish I could just lie in your arms
until I felt whole again"
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea,
I'm burning like a bridge for your body

Yep, db----we are on a roll here.....
this is a poem I wrote:

*MEATAMORPHOSIS*

Wrapped in my cocoon
     Safe in the interior of
                       My being
Handle me gently
Handle me softly
     For I am delicate
                       You see.
In a little while I'll
     change my metamorphosis
                       One day.
See me change
See me grow
     For I can become
                        You know.

Here I am in full existence
     Ready to flutter my wings
                         To life
Love me now
Love me always
     I'll never be the same
                         Again......     

Yesterday was the day that passed,
Today is the day I live and love,Tomorrow is day of hope and promises...

Well, I just wrote this poem this morning.....=P

*A NEW DAY*

I wake up and
     it's a new day
          a new day
             for me.

My thoughts turn to
     you and feel
     it's a new day
          that I can
              smile.

New experiences
New horizons
New beginnings
New heart beats
     and yes, I feel,
     I feel at last
I open my wings
     and want to fly
     to you.....
Yesterday was the day that passed,
Today is the day I live and love,Tomorrow is day of hope and promises...

kerap diri kejari angin
dari mata sampai kehati
tak dikira maknanya lari
tuk apa kucari cari
luar dalam tanpa ngerti
sedangkah ku dikelabuhi
bukan kata tanpa arti
tapi hati terjerat duri

----------

bumi disuka bahagia menjelma
petik kuncum bunga sembuhkan luka lara
hei tiupan angin kau buahkan sendu
bak nyanyian burung kesukma kalbu

warna flamengo indah dimata
memikat jiwa jelitanya
lembah gunung trus bercumbu
mengisi kalbu nan merindu
berhimpun daun segar dijiwa
siapakah yang tidak suka

langit biru rangkul kekasihnya
samudra raya jatuh terlena
bentang mereka rangkul semua
ingatkah kita pada yang mencipta?

------------------

telanjangi dirimu hei anakku
singkapkan lingkup dusta dan segala kemunafikan
rasakan najis tindakanmu!
oh, busuknya raga tak kau tau
hina kelakuanmu sama juga tak kau aku
hei, penghuni hutan, pembina dosa dan kutuk ibu tiri
pintarnya engkau mengkelabuhi diri sampai tangis Allahmu
sadarlah, sadarlah....
kembalilah ke jalan yang benar selagi masih ada waktu


--------------


rampung tugas hari ini
o enaknya dibadani
hiruk pikuk ditengah kota
wah bikin letih gaduhnya
terlentang sudah diperaduan
lepas semua kepenatan
nyenyapi satu dua jam
tunggu kembali segarnya badan



--------------

jangan mau dikelabuhi
iblis pintar janjikan impi
siapa sih kita ini
kok jadi sansak sana sini:
salah strategi buntunglah kaki
kurang waspada dihabisi
hah! kuatkan raga siapkan hati
cabut senjata hindari mati

-------------

kawan susah dicari
puaskan hati bak mentari
takkala dahaga mereka kemari
sirami hati tuk peduli
sahabat apalagi
barang langka seperti ini!
emas perak disana sini
tapi dia di tengah bumi
wahai bahan gali, kuatkah kau meniti
diluap waktu dan dedikasi
pernahkah kau temui
yang sejati, yang sejati, yang sejati

--------------------

Pretty rainbow in my side

Her fingers ran in black and white!
As the golden veil silently watched,

Blooming wild in the gardens of Heaven

Worry not cause I'll be watching you

PS.

Oh countess,
thy sweet smile haunts me
burned into my mind, it taunts me
why did you leave me?
Does the count kiss you
as much as I do?
Just count the ways I say I love you
with twenty-eight plus twelve letters
and countless gestures
and even more tears
like raindrops.
Who can love you more than I do?

I wrote this poem about John Cage for my 10th grade english class this year. I don't know the first thing about John Cage, the only thing I do know is that he composed a piece of silence lasting 273 seconds and became famous because of it. What a jerk.

John Cage

Mozart quailed when he heard my genius
Four minutes thirtee three he could not write
And though that piece is boring and heinous
Nevertheless that still silence took flight

My piece was written I would wait and hear
Harsh criticisms of many thoughtless minds
Despite their efforts my piece would premiere
And through this mystic piece their gears would grind

First they must endure the grotesque hacking
That bringing forced silence seems to procure
Although my promised silence is lacking
It is not music that deflowers your ear

So when you, gentle heart, hear my music play
Understand that I thought it in a day.

Poetry is about feelings, what you are feeling now.  When you have a feeling, let the words come into your mind, but it's sort of a random thing that I do when I write a poem.  It's  experiencing the feelings and jotting down the words that describes those feelings.
Poems do not have to rhyme either.  It's how the words are being placed upon the paper.
Try experimenting with a short poem;   it can be a topic you know about.  Whatever comes into your mind.   Try it and you may end up with a nice poem afterall!   :)

best wishes,

Yes, being able to read and write doesn't mean you can write poetry. But I don't see how a musician cannot write a poem, after all, I had been poet before musician. Music and poetry are very similar. That's why we have songs. Take whatever you have to say and fit it to a kind of rhythm - not necessarily fixed - and you have a poem!

On the other hand, I can't write stories to save my life. I did some for school, but nothing long or with an involved plot. They were mostly snapshots of life pieced together. No essays either, though I can cough up a good book report if needed. Research papers, now don't get me started!

Yes unusual I suppose, but true. I agree that poetry & music are very similar, Shostakovich comes to mind at an instant. I can write music to poetry but not the other way round. I guess it’s what you’re used to. I’m writing a piece of music with someone o/s at the moment, on the condition that it have no words.

Hey, I wrote another poem today(my time 6:45am): 

The light has dimmed
     in my room
     in the twilight of day,

I look out my window
     and see the clouds
     covering the sky.

A day has passed and gone
Nobody sees how
My heart that beats a song
     that is within me.

What love I can offer

But, sometimes, I wonder
how love can go unnoticed
how love can be ignored
how love can be pushed aside
   and how the hurts keeps returning.....

and oh, one day, one day
love will find its way
to me,
   to me.....

I want to be invisible
   from the world
   from the stress and stife of life
I want to feel
   once again, not ever be hurting
   inside
I want to hear the music within
   my heart once again
   but somehow,
   the music stopped
   as I try once again
   to find it.
I know I will find myself
   once again , to feel
   and be happy,
   but is that what really matters?
Happiness is an illusion
   that I can only grasp but for
   a small moment of time
   then time moves onward,
   leaving my heart beating
   beating for love, but
   no love can be found
   unless it beckons me on
   to another sphere , to
   another moment of time
   when I can say, yes,
This is what I want out of my life
This is what I can be happy about.....

I don't know how this poetry is happening lately this past month, it is my way of
expressing myself:  I wrote this one a few minutes ago:  
                      
      *Delete*

I met you one day
     connect
     connect
We talk about things
  as we connect over the miles
Two different lives
Two different people
Two different cultures
     connect
     connect
Lets share thoughts
On life and music
     connect
     connect
Until one day
  misunderstandings
     disconnect
  Oh no,
What have I said?
     delete
     delete
From the screen
     delete
     delete
Oh, but not from my heart.....

3 years have passed
We cried together last night
Please, don't go away
We'll miss you
We'll rarely meet again
Maybe we'll never be together again
Your smile in the first time we met
Your tears when we lose in a match
Your warm arms, I'll miss all of it
But forever
I'll never forget
That we always been together
Keep up the good job, deary
Soon... I'll meet with you again

If you believe and never stop hoping hard
We'll meet again

soon... very soon...
when dignity, love, and joy meet...

Here's another random poem!     8)

            *There's Love*

There is love no matter where I go
In the valley covered with snow
Or high upon the mountain tops
I will feel the love coming from within me
That will flow to you, to you, my love.
I want to embrace you
And feel you near me
Ah, speak soft  words to me
And I will be happy while the sun
Shines brightly upon us as we
Whisper the words that we know
Of joy, love and peace.....

I heard it once that a poem belongs to the one who really needs it.

Ballada, by Florbela Espanca

Amei-te muito, e eu creio que me quiseste
Também por um instante nesse dia
Em que tão docemente me disseste
Que amavas ‘ma mulher que o não sabia.

Amei-te muito, muito!Tão risonho
Aquele dia foi, aquela tarde!…
E morreu como morre todo o sonho
Deixando atrás de si só a saudade! …

E na taça do amor, a ambrosia
Da quimera bebi aquele dia
A tragos bons, profundos, a cantar…

O meu sonho morreu… Que desgraçada!

E como o rei de Thule da balada
Deitei também a minha taça ao mar …

I won't translate it, it would loose the sense.

Roughly translated, it is about a man who gets off at the wrong train station because he was reading a book.

I think that would be a very rough translation. But then, perhaps you have a (second) life as surrealistic Spanish translator. I wonder what nome de guerre you would chose for that work. Cabezon de vaca?

Florbela Espanca was one of the greatests poets from Portugal, and had a very miserable life. Her poems are great, and sad, mostly.

You do?

if you must know.
We surely must - and, thanks to you, we now do!

You don't happen by chance to have a second name, do you? - like Doris, for instance (I'm determined to ensure the revelation of the true identity of this much-mentioned Doris here at some point)...

That would be the kind of film that has people go "this is disgusting, filthy, degrading, and unsharp too!".

Hmmm, yes, it almost sounds as if it were his fetish. An adult movie prop, perhaps?

We're going all Freud here, it seems....

Hmm, but do taped court room sessions count as "adult movies"?
Perhaps they do...
I wonder what part you play then. "Exhibit XXVLII"?

Just in case some people did not get it. The piece I gave a link to, its name means "Savage Poem" in Portuguese.
