Your Feelings Thru Poetry

The Pearl Legend

Once upon a time there was a very sad and lonely butterfly. He
was so sad and lonely that he did not want to live anymore.
One day, when he was sitting very depressed on the sea shore,
thinking about the life’s uselessness, he heard near him a
small and clear voice:

- Good morning. Who are you?

- I’m a butterfly, but who are you? A speaking stone? I can’t
believe it!

- But I’m not a stone, I’m a shell and I’m a living being just
as you are. Would you like to be my friend?

- I have no friends. I’m very unhappy because nobody loves me
and for this reason I wanted to die in the sea.

- I don’t want you to die. I have been just as lonely and sad
as you, I have never known what love was. But now you’re here
and none of us is alone. Stay with me, be my wingy prince and
tell me about all you have ever seen in the world, about all
that could never be seen by the salted eyes of a sea’s
daughter.

And the butterfly kept staying by the shell’s side and they
loved each other more than one could imagine. The butterfly
was gathering on his wings the colors of the world to give
them as a bouquet to his sweetheart and the shell was bringing
as gift to her wingy prince all the misterious whispers of the
sea depths.

But as butterflies usually have shorter lifes than the shells,
one day the butterfly died. The shell burried him in the sand
and cried very much over him, so much that she died of
sadness, getting melted in her own tears till she totally
disappeared. But the next morning, around the empty shell
embracing a sand pile guarded by a choral cross, a pearly
snowfall seemed having fallen down. Because the pearl is
nothing else but shell tear and butterfly powder mixed with
much, with very much love.

Peace and Love

What's in the brain that ink may character
Which hath not figured to thee my true spirit?
What's new to speak, what new to register,
That may express my love or thy dear merit?
Nothing, sweet boy; but yet, like prayers divine,
I must, each day say o'er the very same,
Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine,
Even as when first I hallow'd thy fair name.
So that eternal love in love's fresh case
Weighs not the dust and injury of age,
Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place,
But makes antiquity for aye his page,
Finding the first conceit of love there bred
Where time and outward form would show it dead.


William Shakespeare

Brave New World

by Blue Dolphin ©


Just another day I guess
As neighbours laugh and sing
While children open presents
That Santa Claus did bring.
And yet my friend, you sit alone
In stagnant paling room
Surrounded by your misery
A picture of true gloom.

Be not sad, dear friend of mine
For I have come to call
To lift you up and make you smile
As happiness recall.
Forget this person you once were
Cast off the heartache pain
For soon will be another year
When your life start again

Look out into a brave new world
Smile at the morning sun
Rejoice in life for living
Is time for you to fun
Remember yes the past my friend
Let good times your eyes light
But turn away the sadness
Toss to darkest night

Today, it is the first day
Of your life yet to come
So full of hope and happiness
With many paths to run
Go walk your steps so lightly
A spring within your heel
For I will always be here
My love, forever real

 

[STUDDOG]

That's beautiful BD......really moving and a beautiful thought
I'm sure it meant so much to your friend....

Merry Christmas good friend

SMILES

Winter Stores
Charlotte Brontë

We take from life one little share,
And say that this shall be
A space, redeemed from toil and care,
From tears and sadness free.

And, haply, Death unstrings his bow,
And Sorrow stands apart,
And, for a little while, we know
The sunshine of the heart.

Existence seems a summer eve,
Warm, soft, and full of peace,
Our free, unfettered feelings give
The soul its full release.

A moment, then, it takes the power
To call up thoughts that throw
Around that charmed and hallowed hour,
This life's divinest glow.

But Time, though viewlessly it flies,
And slowly, will not stay;
Alike, through clear and clouded skies,
It cleaves its silent way.

Alike the bitter cup of grief,
Alike the draught of bliss,
Its progress leaves but moment brief
For baffled lips to kiss

The sparkling draught is dried away,
The hour of rest is gone,
And urgent voices, round us, say,
'Ho, lingerer, hasten on!'

And has the soul, then, only gained,
From this brief time of ease,
A moment's rest, when overstrained,
One hurried glimpse of peace?

No; while the sun shone kindly o'er us,
And flowers bloomed round our feet, -
While many a bud of joy before us
Unclosed its petals sweet, -

An unseen work within was plying;
Like honey-seeking bee,
From flower to flower, unwearied, flying,
Laboured one faculty, -

Thoughtful for Winter's future sorrow,
Its gloom and scarcity;
Prescient to-day, of want to-morrow,
Toiled quiet Memory.

'Tis she that from each transient pleasure
Extracts a lasting good;
'Tis she that finds, in summer, treasure
To serve for winter's food.

And when Youth's summer day is vanished,
And Age brings Winter's stress,
Her stores, with hoarded sweets replenished,
Life's evening hours will bless.

I think this is beautiful

The Awakening River
By: Katherine Mansfield


The gulls are mad-in-love with the river,
And the river unveils her face and smiles.
In her sleep-brooding eyes they mirror their shining wings.
She lies on silver pillows: the sun leans over her.
He warms and warms her, he kisses and kisses her.
There are sparks in her hair and she stirs in laughter.
Be careful, my beautiful waking one! You will catch
on fire.
Wheeling and flying with the foam of the sea on their
breasts,
The ineffable mists of the sea clinging to their wild wings,
Crying the rapture of the boundless ocean,
The gulls are mad-in-love with the river.
Wake! we are the dream thoughts flying form your heart.
Wake! we are the songs of desire flowing from your
bosom.
O, I think the sun will lend her his great wings
And the river will fly to the sea with the mad-in-
love birds.

 

[STUDDOG]

sigh

Please endure my mellow low as I will rise again my friends
Studdog

Pure spirit! O where art thou now!
O whisper to my soul!
O let some soothing thought of thee,
This bitter grief controul!
'Tis not for thee the tears I shed,
Thy sufferings now are o'er;
The sea is calm, the tempest past,
On that eternal shore.

No more the storms that wrecked thy peace
Shall tear that gentle breast;
Nor Summer's rage, nor Winter's cold,
Thy poor, poor frame molest.

Thy peace is sealed, thy rest is sure,
My sorrows are to come;
Awhile I weep and linger here,
Then follow to the tomb.

And is the awful veil withdrawn,
That shrouds from mortal eyes,
In deep impenetrable gloom,
The secrets of the skies?

O, in some dream of visioned bliss,
Some trace of rapture, show
Where, on the bosom of thy God,
Thou rest'st from human woe!

Thence may thy pure devotion's flame
On me, on me descend;
To me thy strong aspiring hopes,
Thy faith, thy fervours lend.

Let these my lonely path illume,
And teach my weakened mind
To welcome all that's left of good,
To all that's lost resigned.

Farewell! With honour, peace, and love,
Be thy dear memory blest!
Thou hast no tears for me to shed,
When I too am at rest.

AND....MAYBE

Old henry was very wise.......


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

 

[STUDDOG]

You know....this old boy was pretty smart also....


William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

and finally............

My favorite Poet....and will end my siege here with him....but tomorrow I bring peace , hope and sunshine....and If you think I've lost my fucking mind.......I did!!!! has anyone seen it?

Studdog


Robert Louis Stevenson


Small is the trust when love is green
In sap of early years;
A little thing steps in between
And kisses turn to tears.

Awhile - and see how love be grown
In loveliness and power!
Awhile, it loves the sweets alone,
But next it loves the sour.

A little love is none at all
That wanders or that fears;
A hearty love dwells still at call
To kisses or to tears.

Such then be mine, my love to give,
And such be yours to take:-
A faith to hold, a life to live,
For lovingkindness' sake:

Should you be sad, should you be gay,
Or should you prove unkind,
A love to hold the growing way
And keep the helping mind:-

A love to turn the laugh on care
When wrinkled care appears,
And, with an equal will, to share
Your losses and your tears.

 

[Jewelz]

I long for the feeling of completeness.
The feeling of self confidence and self esteem
to wrap itself around my tattered soul and shine brightly.
I long for my moments of weakness
to be caressed and carried to strength.
For my darkest hours to become my brightest days.
For new breath to be breathed into me
and make me whole again.
For passion to release its fury inside me
each and every time that he looks at me
with love and tenderness.
To never lose sight of my journey and the trials
But to create so many more triumphs
and celebrate a new dawn.
A chance to be the person I really long to be,
Inside and out.
To stand tall, proud and happy of who I am.
To believe I can fly.
To touch the lives of so many others
in a way that only *I* can touch them.
To inspire.
I long for my daughters to grow with self respect
and self confidence in a way that I never knew
and to embrace their beauty.
Let my inner spirit blossom to a beautiful shade of harmony

Love Turned To Hatred
by: Sir John Suckling (1609 - 1641


I will not love one minute more, I swear!
No, not a minute! Not a sigh or tear
Thou gett'st from me, or one kind look again,
Though thou shouldst court me to 't, and wouldst begin.
I will not think of thee but as men do
Of debts and sins; and then I'll curse thee too.
For thy sake woman shall be now to me
Less welcome than at midnight ghosts shall be.
I'll hate so perfectly that it shall be
Treason to love that man that loves a she.
Nay, I will hate the very good, I swear,
That's in thy sex, because it doth lie there, -
Their very virtue, grace, discourse, and wit,
And all for thee! What, wilt thou love me yet?

Chasing Whales


by Blue Dolphin ©


Maybe that I should go chase whales
listen to them sing
Soar, as lonely albatross
Aloft the ocean wing

Maybe that I should ride the breeze
be grey cloud filled with rain,
and feel, as grieving teardrops,
try there diminish pain

This love that eat my very soul,
and cut you to the core.
All I do is cause you pain,
yet could not love you more

How my sorrow fills me empty,
devoid of happiness,
until again I hold you
your gentle face caress


Maybe that I should go chase whales,
or maybe, stay right here
to hold you close, to kiss you,
and whisper, in you ear

“Darling one, I could never leave
would break my heart in two,
forever and for always,
will be here, loving you”

 

[Blue Dolphin]

Heartbeat
by Blue Dolphin ©
For a very special friend, in her hour of need


As I walk the silver moonbeam
I see her
passing by
Cool ivory the shade of skin,
Amethyst,
colour eye

A gentle smile , caress her face
disguising lonely tear,
reflections, in the darkness,
and whispers, cannot hear

She bears a lonely memory,
life beats within her womb,
the father now deserted,
the child, to be here soon.

Yet love consumes her very soul
remembering his smile,
floats slowly through a daydream
in paradise a while.

A child inside, a child to come,
be hers, for evermore,
a life of love there beckon,
beyond the closing door.

The memories will come, and go
fleeting through her mind,
the days and nights of passion,
the love, that she did find.

As I walk the silver moonbeam
I see her
passing by
her womb now gently swelling,
a teardrop,
in my eye


Thank you for reading

SMILE

Beautiful BD.....ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

 

[ReBeLBeLLe]

It hasn't been that long
since I felt my life was at an end
It hasn't been that long
since I shunned even my closest friend

It hasn't been that long
since I had given up all hope
It hasn't been that long
since I stayed in bed and moped

It hasn't been that long
since my world so drastically changed
It hasn't been that long
since my life was rearranged

It hasn't been that long
since I felt more than pain
It hasn't been that long
since the sun shone through the rain

It hasn't been that long
since the dawn of a new day
It hasn't been that long
since a new life got underway

It hasn't been that long
since I started to believe
It hasn't been that long
since you gave me the strength to achieve

It hasn't been that long
since my goals did change anew
It hasn't been that long
since I found a love in you.

Moonshadow

by Blue Dolphin ©


Moon shadow cast on grieving souls
by the hills of misery,
where lay in pieces, shattered love
beneath the teardrop tree.

Where dreams and hopes escape on high,
sucked in by the creeping cloud,
lets the deathly sound of silence,
encompass ,in a shroud

Wait now, oh thee of strangled mind,
lift up thine hooded eyes,
gaze out in awe cross flowered field,
behold, a new sunrise.

Healing time on a sunbeam slide
to broken heart repair,
rekindle tranquil memory,
and kiss the rainbow there.

for you cookie with all my love

The aroma of love, I am eager for them to become tastes and caresses;
Such potions from cookies wondrous body, they sooth bear's ravenous spirit;
Soft kisses from my lips, tingles from my flesh, and passions from my heart;
This fiery lust, passes from the tip of bear's tongue, asking to explore the love cookie holds within her soul;
Does this tease you, cookie dear, are you rich with anticipation as each stroke from bear's exploring lips grace your silky flesh?
Cookie my love, I have waited so long to see you, and now, now I hold you in my arms;
Cookie can you imagine my struggles with loniness, with only the dreams of our time together?
My desire for your passions turned into an wanton burning as I counted the long slow minutes, hours;
Till we are together again, our passionate embrace as Cookie reacts to the dancing of bears hungry lips;
Become one with me as our excitement pulls us closer than even we could have imagined;
Cookie say goodbye to your past heart aches, say goodbye to yesterdays pains, and let your soul rejoice within our wonderious delight. Let me mend your broken heart with my magic weave of bear's vow of unconditional love

FRIENDSHIP
BY BIGGBEAR8

When you came into my life I hoped I could win your heart As I touched it briefly.
It is truly heaven.
Equipped with trust, passion, honesty
And devotion.
A bright warm light drawing me to it.
But it wasn't my time.
The puzzle begins in your eyes and moves down
Through tricky corners to your soul.
I got lost halfway between friendship and
Passion.
Another traveller is blocking my way.
He has his motives.
I am now a loving friend and hope
Another day to be able to love you. .
Hoping your heart will recall the feel of me.
Fearing the spirit of true love
You may build walls to keep love out .
I hope one day to find my way to the passions
In you ... may your heart welcome me.

Serenity

by Blue Dolphin ©

This was for my dear sweet late friend "Serenity."


Serene, this face that I do love, yet soon, will have to leave.
And stumble down my highway, the broad cloth of life to weave

This face, that holds such beauty there, behind soft sparkled eyes,
And took me to a special land, of love, and paradise.

Caress the dream I hold for her, within my aching heart,
A plethora of memory, and hope, that never part.

Yet now my love, I turn to go, through tears no more to see
The angel that did steal my soul, my own, Serenity
