ok yeah its me again, first im not here for ages now i cant stop writing!! anyway recently i have been writing some poems. After a few attempts to write some on here a while back lol. So I hope its ok but i thought i would post 3 of them on here. No real reason why, just wanted to share a bit of me i guess.

This one i wrote after reading lots of blogs on my yahoo pages about people who in my opinion "overly" worshipped some kind of faith or religion. Dont get me wrong i love my pagan faith whole heartedly, but sometimes i wonder if people use their faith as an excuse for things that have gone wrong instead of using the experience to turn it into something positive.. anyway..... thats this one.

Theres nothing left for me to say
that hasnt been said anyway.
You search for truth in what has past,
Its just a phase, it will not last.
The gods and heathens from our shores
You grasp at them with razored claws.
Disect and study, then rip to shreds
Make effigies of their once formed heads.
and why! because nothing really changed
Your minds while occupied, or re-arranged
Know no more or less than from the start
About the depths of soul or heart
Whatever gods that walked before
Are laughing at you now for sure.
Theres no god here to wipe my brow
So I will not kneel or serve or bow
My faith is not in that of man
Truth and justice are my clan
You put your gods on lofty perch's
Then pray to them in glades or church's
Send them all those tears you've cried
But have you ever seen one by your side?
So dont push your worries on an deity
Or blame them for your lack of destiny
The gods arnt here to tell you what to do
This is your life its up to you.

***************************************

this was like writing lots of little affirmations while i was meditating.



Open my eyes, open my heart
Cleanse me with a wave from the sea
Open my mind, open my soul
So that I may clearly see.

Show me the path, show me the way
Illuminate my meaning
Show me love, show me beauty
So that i can continue this feeling

Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me rest in your embrace
Hold my heart, hold my soul
Tenderly stroke my face.

Bless me with wisdom, Bless me with grace
So I can find the strength inside
Bless me with courage, bless me with honour
So that I may walk with pride

Help me to remember, to understand
that though time spans eternity
I will walk through the forest of life,
and know that I am all that I need.

**************************************
ok one more.. hope ya not fallen asleep yet!!

The Sands of Time

The familiar feeling unknown
slips through fingers like sands of time
It comes, it goes, feelings flow
without reason or with out rhyme
The never ending feeling of time

Fast as a race, hearts pace
Dont know where to draw the line
It comes, it goes, feeling flow
Forever lost in a world sublime
That never ending feeling of time

Its quick and its slow, but where does it go
Oh strange adversary of my mine
each second the same, without refrain
each day synchronicity divine

Oh that never ending feeling of time
Trapped in its world sublime


************************

ok ermm yeah thats me done.

The last poem I made up was an anti-valentines one.

"Roses are red
Violets are blue.
I'd like to pull out a knife,
and ram it in you."

lol.

I haven't time for poetry or prose atm.
I will email you...one day! It's just atm i have brief moments I can post on forums before the burden or work falls back onto my shoulders!

wow Jade!
your first poem seems innately human and if i may say so full of excellent advice
and the third one really struck me with its feeling of truth on a subject i feel is beyond my minds comprehension !!(at this time)!!

if this all sounds like a bunch of maniacal meandering well it is-
but i mean to honor your work just so ya know

aww thanks thats really nice of you. Ive written ermm wow near on 200 poems in the last year lol I have always been quite "wordy" I tried to learn the correct "format" for poetry writing, stanzas and all that stuff, but it just didnt fit or feel right. SO i just continue to waffle off the top of my head like that instead.

but lovely comments so thankyou v much.

Jade - they are lovely poems. Nice to find someone else who likes rhyming too :-)Format is irrelevant - write from the heart and you will never go far wrong.

lmao ash.. aww you ole romantic you.

Hello Newy... im sorry your feeling down. I tend to write a lot when im feeling emotional. poetry is a good way of expressing how you feel inside. Maybe you could write something??

much love
jade

That is a really good idea Newy, why dont you have a go and just let your feeling pour out from inside. It doesn't matter if it rhymes or doesn't rhyme or even if it makes sense to anyone other than you. Just write and sometimes by just doing that you can exorcise the feelings and feel a little better.

(((((hugs))))

Lol, yes, my poem is great. It's inspired by the stalkers who stalk me around campus. Weird girls.

I agree with the idea that if it's from the heart, all else is irrelevant.
