[gareb]

i love you and i think my love for you is stronger
than to be quite extinct within me yet
but let it not trouble you any further
i will not let you feel the least regret

i love you, bare hope and expression
with turns of jealousy and shyness sore
i love you with such purity, such passion
that may god grant you to be loved once more.

--

i have outlasted all desire
my dreams and i have fallen apart
both of us are left entire
the gleanings of an empty heart

the storms of ruthless dispensation
has struck my flowery garland numb
i live in lonely desolation
and wonder when my end will come

how do i love thee
let me count the ways

[Vee]

"It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."


- Invictus -
William Ernest Henley

[YbriP]

time moves like a rocking chair
just like the world was so unfair
long have i been in pain
never had stopped my rain

[Bigfoot Oracle]

Outwitted

He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

-Edwin Markham

Conch

The sea
prints itself
on the conch, its white spiral
pod casting seeds
like a net
on the sand when the water
breaks good news
of arrival.
The father finds the conch
alive on the sandbar
and shows it
to his daughter,
black foot, shell varnish.
Later how it will empty
its sound into the child's ear
whirring like the sea in a dream,
coming past the sand to sweep
its living life,
good news, good news.

-Miriam Callaghan

Soliloquy

Seems like the quietness stirs my soul and the emptiness,
The emptiness inside. . . shadows follow me around. Chasing me,
To let me fall to the ground
I'm locked inside the mirror
My mind is widely open, trying to iron out that thing.
Without it, . . . It only puts more wrinkle on my face.
I could merely hear myself talking, talking to me.
Ah, cheated by me . . . longing . . .
Longing for the impossible.
It still lingers, It still lingers. Listen, can you hear me?
I bet not . . . I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself. . . .

laugh and cry
live and die
life is a dream
we are dreaming

And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes form you

C.D.

[Bigfoot Oracle]

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
At the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how are dreams could come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's going to tear us apart

-Donna Lewis

I dont wanna wait for our lives to be over
will it be YES or will it be SORRY?
- Paula Cole

wat cums around


You think that I'm the one to blame
Everything I lose is just a piece of what there is
To gain
You think it's cool and all is fine
Now is the day when you pay, this is my time
I feel for you nothing but pain
I am what you will be, you are dying in me
I love you, I hate you, I miss you...

You're always thinking you're so perfect
Those thoughts drove me away from home
But if you put me through your tests
Then I will fade

I have nothing to say
But I feel like my mouth is wide open
Everything that is real
Comes around
Comes around...

Shut up...

Your stupid face just makes me sick
I see you changing every day
To fit into the newest clique
I know you, but everything you do
Is just a part of you, you'll never see the truth
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the way you think you're real
Your one voice it destroys my one choice

You're always thinking you're so perfect
Those thoughts drove me away from home
But if you put me through your tests
Then I will fade

I have nothing to say
But I feel like my mouth is wide open
Everything that is real
Comes around
Comes around...

Tu vida es mia
Your fear is living here in me

Es que no entiendo come en la vida puedes acer
La paz entre nostros cuando no vas a decir
Y la gratitude que tu nunca vas a ver
Has now turned to hate

I have nothing to say
But I feel like my mouth is wide open
Everything that is real
Comes around
Comes around...

Shut up!

[GlassMoon]

And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling.

The Last Leaf - Oliver Wendell Holmes
