-imustpokethis-

So...weekend writing plans anybody? Plans other than writing?

And I'm thinking about having a poetry night tonight. Good idea? Or no?
 
-cricket, cricket-

hmm...well...I guess I'll post one anyway....


Forever Wandering

Forever we wander, year after year,
Forever we wander, sheding a tear,
He blew me a kiss as we walked through the night.
Forever he wanders, and shines in the light.

Forever he wanders, just out of my reach,
Forever he wanders, footprints on the beach.
We stood by the water, soaked through with sea spray.
Forever he wanders, and forever I pray. 

Forever I wandered, and stood by his side,
Forever he wandered, but I had to hide,
Now ridden with guilt, and a sorrowful heart,
Forever we wandered. But now, we're apart.

Forever I wander now empty and weak,
Forever I wander, without something to seek.
And I looked beyond, and stood on the land,
Without any footprints, just water and sand. 
 
Test test? Good it's on. I've some poetry to share with you all tonight. I've selected this first piece, because it goes along with irins peice, here goes nothing!

Wanderer

She wanders through the woods,
She hides under her hood,
Her boots crunch in the leaves,
As she wanders through the trees.

Wanderer, wanderer,
Wherever will you go?
Wandering, wandering,
In rain, shine, or snow.

Wanderer, wanderer,
Whoever is she?
That hides under her hood,
Never where she wants to be?

Her eyes as sharp as hawks,
She prances on the rocks,
There's not a river to deep,
Never a mountain to steep.

Wanderer, wanderer,
No ones as brave as her,
Wandering, wandering,
As if she never were.

Wanderer, wanderer,
Gone from here to there,
The sight of her's uncommon,
Those who see her stop and stare.

Her family she must miss,
She left her mother without one last kiss,
I wish she'd come back, 
If only for the things she didn't pack.

Wanderer, wanderer,
Where have you gone?
Wandering, wandering,
Like a lost fawn.

Wanderer, wanderer,
Where are you going to be?
You said we were sisters for life,
But never did you say you'd leave.
 
Here's another piece I've decided to share. This is one of my free verse pieces, and I don't like the way it flows much, but I think I should share it with you. Enjoy!

Eternity

Everyone wants it
But if they get it they'll wish they didn't 
Forever bored, forever young
No new experiences
Forever in love
With someone else
Who will grow old
And break your heart
Family is gone
Friends not there to help you up
Even if you fall so hard
That you never want to get up
No one will come to your rescue
It's a curse, not a blessing
Eternity
 
Actually, I really like the way it flows. I'm not able to do free verses very well at all, and I admire anyone who has the skill.

I'll share one now. This is one of my favorites, and I hope you like it.
 
Another poem!

Precious moments

The seconds passing by
The minutes allready gone
An hour wasted
A day of nothing
A month gone
Every moment is precious

Memories so hazy
You should have paid attention
What would you give
For a moment more
To spend with your friends
Every moment is precious

So careless before
You wish you hadn't been
Because maybe then
You'd spend a minute more
And you'd be more succesful
Every moment is precious

You dwell on sad memories
And forget the happy
You took them for granted
If you'd have spent more time
Maybe you'd have one happy thought left
Every moment is precious

Your life's ticking by
Every second is a blessing
You can wish all you want
For things that won't come true
But your allready gone
Every moment is precious
 
I'll Love You Forever

Don't ever forget, what you said to me, 
On the day we first kissed, by the trunk of our tree,
You said that you'd love me, year after year,
You said that you loved me, and that was my fear.

Commitment had scared me, mistakes of my past.
But you said our love was one that would last.
And I loved you so deeply, I had to believe, 
So I helped make our goal, one we could achieve.

We married four years, right after that day.
"I'll love you forever," is what you still say.
And year after year, that promise you keep,
From when we awake, to when we both sleep.

But time had to pass, we were over the hill,
"I'll love you for always," is what you say, still.
You smiled your smile, and my eyes had shone,
And for so many years, I was never alone.

Then one rainy day, in a hospital bed,
"You know I still love you," is what you had said.
"I'll meet you in heaven, and thanks for the ride.
I'll love you forever. I'll be at your side."
 
This is the first poem I wrote when I suddenly got really into poetry, hope u enjoy!


I dedicate this poem to all who care enough to read the whole thing.


Checkmate

Lain out before me, a carpet of squares,
Off in the distance, my enemies lair.

With friends alongside me, and family around,
We wait, anxiously, without a sound.

Those beside me, move up one step,
Trying to finish, the impossible treck.

Feeling important, in the front line,
Taking my place, by my friends sides.

I move up and up, and clash with a knight,
All my friends and loved ones, disapeer, out of sight.

Me and him, him and me,
Is all I hear, is all I see.

At the very last moment, help finds it's way,
Shining some hope, on that impossible day.

Here I'm strong, and safe from harm,
Comforted by, my families arms.

Feeling invincible, I take a risk,
Ignoreing the consequences, I throw a fist.

As foolish as I was, I survive,
Living and breathing, I am alive.

Nothing can stop me, but I don't dare turn,
For to see my family, I do so yearn.

But soon I'm put down, thron into the murk,
By those in the shadows, those who lurk.

You are nothing, disposable, waste,
The words sting, and leave something sour in my taste.

Only a pawn, disguised as a knight,
The enemy feels foolish, and will defeat me upon sight.

Finally I turn, and look every which way,
A feild of distruction, and there they lay.

My family and friends, they lay on the ground,
Asleep forever, eternally bound.

With all hope lost I attach the strings,
A puppet I will be, dispite the trapped feeling it brings.

I am moved forward, and then to the side,
The queen comes to take me, leaving the king open wide.

At once I spot it, the fault in the plot,
I try to warn them, but I don't mean alot.

And then, and there, I decide enoughs enough,
I move forward and left, proving I am tough.

I feel a sense of victory, as the bishop slides across the slate,
He knocks the king down, yelling checkmate.

And altough I was not the one, to call victory,
The other were blinded, and only I could see.

This triumph is as much yours, as it is mine,
Through love and hate we draw a thin line.

I do not know, if this is what I want, or what I need,
All I know, is that it planted a seed.

Of doubt in my mind, that may never be the same,
Without those that I love, how can I ever be sane?

I went and I conquered, and I did it myself,
But only now do I realize I needed everyone else.
