Poems of the Heart Newsletter #3, 11-1-04:



This is the third week of the Poems of the Heart Newsletters and we have
so many different poems being posted up in the categories for that
topic that it has grown harder for us to choose which ones will be where.
We have only 10 poems, next time we will only allow one author to have
one poem in each newsletter provided there are enough poems posted each
given week. We are so sorry for the terrible delay in the time on the
Poems of the Heart Newsletter and hope you enjoy the 10 posted below.
Thank you all.

If only for me.
It's the remix-
the double helix of us.
Frequency.
Frequently flying through emotional landscapes.
Clear to see, we're not-
meant-
to-
be-
Physically, but-
Spiritually.
It's with our broken
sen-
ten-
ces.
Not so transparent, apparent ideals,
Not written to appeal.
But to reveal what is real.

Love is Blind




Love is blind, the saying is true,
Love is blinded to the one, who's heart is left broken.
Always given to the one, who's already received it.
"You'll find somebody...one of these days."
I hear that every time that I am not chosen.
While everybody I know, finds those of their dreams.
Only to see one day that dreams they were meant to stay.
Love is blind, to the person who never received...any in their life.
Love is blind...for those who had it from the start.
Let me whisper to you, young boys like me,
The stories they tell you, you're being deceived.
They tell you to be how you are, and that girl will come along.
The truth is that you'll be left alone,
Unless you know the way... to tie her blindfold.
Blind to the fact that you weren't meant to be,
The movies they make, the songs that they write,
To make you feel like the girl you fancy.....
will fancy you as well.
Oh the truth, the truth hidden from you.
It won't be found in romance novels,
or sappy love poems.
Or any myth regurgitated to you,
The one that held meaning, the only one they told
The one that love is blind.
Blind to the others who love her as well.
Blinded to the suffering that they feel inside,
Love was blinded,
Before it could see...
I was standing in front of it.
Waiting anxiously for it to acknowledge me.
It can't help that problem it was given...
Love is blind,
But only to me.

..and I- was swept...
I drove by fires that said,
"Wish you- were here," frowning as I asked
if they could greet you- goodbye.
I let you have them-
those times- under the stars...
counted- and accounted for-
you just- know.
Of all these things you do-
they'll never know the importance-
the sport- of seeing...
and we compete...
It is- yourself that you paint
as they draw blank stares
and stop- to watch you run-
when questioned- in the most complex...of clarity.
And I hover here- shading streaks of your past-
and that is what makes me follow you...
"Because we- make sense."
Even still...this sky holds more-
than you can inhale...
The eyes that want to take in so much at once-
can never open wide enough.
Because there's only so much you can take
and that you can explain
And I- close my eyes...
Because you are so beautiful-
you let me.
There need be- no explanation-
of airbags- that hush such sorrow-
from windows, that hide-
all...hope...
and door handles- that shine...to spite them.
They all had- the best view...
Blood-red- it rose...
screaming silence
for windshields- that crashed~
all...parting ways-
for its meaning...

Poem #4: I Need You

I look deep in your eyes.
I see there what I feel inside.
We share something between us,
Neither one of us can hide.

I feel your lips touch mine,
I loose all my control,
All it took was a look and a kiss,
To know you were part of my soul.

I see your hands on my skin,
I want and need you to do more,
The passionate look you give me,
Tells me heaven is in store.

I feel your need against my thigh,
I know you will fulfill every wish,.
We were made to fit together,
And all it took was a look and a kiss.

I look deep in your eyes,
And I see heaven there inside,
You make me feel so beautiful,
What I feel for you I cannot hide.


* Sarah A Wilson

Poem #5: Let This Caged Bird Sing

My heart is torn on a sunny day
The fog has rolled in
Turning my skies gray
The water once blue and shimmering
Is now brown and consuming
The guilt has come
It's overtaking my soul
The anger within
Is about to break loose
The hurt and pain
Of never knowing what's right
Being called my sister
Have I really lost my sight?

The shining sun is falling
The skies grow cold and dark
Is it because you are now turning
Your back on one you loved?
Is it so hard for you to accept
That I'm not all you want me to be
Can't you see
You're the one that's holding me back
The one that won't set me free

Why does it seem like no one is happy for me?
Why can't I make my own mistakes?
Why is it that people must hold me back?
Why can't this caged bird sing?
Is it neccesary to clip my wings
Before I've had a chance to fly

Let me go
Let me soar
Let the fog go away
Let me be the person I'm meant to be
And not the person you want me to be


I need my sunshine back
And my cool blue shimmering waters
I need my heart in one piece
Please let this caged bird sing

As I lay here
I wonder why....
I wonder how...
I wonder when....

Why can't I become my own?
Why can't people just let go?
Why can't I just die right now
To finally be at peace?

How many ways I could do it
To finally end it all....
How many times do I need to scream
For you to finally hear my call

When will I be free?
When will I die?
When will I have that love
That puts my heart at peace?

As I lay here
I wonder...
Do I really love him...
Will I live for him...
For my friends....
Will I continue to cry
Tears that can not be seen
Will I continue to scream
Though the screams go unheard
And I simply sigh and reply
Yes...

I hope the sun never makes it up again
delay the morning's presence while I can
with any responsibility I might have had
do my best to waste the time at hand
for there is no time like the present
but tomorrow always rears its head

so I bid you goodbye
goodnight
before the daylight
when the black firmament is bleached instantly

bathe in artificial light before me
from time to time I look over stoically
see what the clock has to say to me
not that it really matters or anything
toast to the roaches that accompany me
when the world seems dead to everything

the night is no longer young
but she's aged well this time around

I bid you goodbye
goodnight
before the daylight
when Sol's glowing face screams at me
along with all the world it seems

Poem #8: A Time Long Ago
Username: princesskitana
Author: Asha Persaud

liberalpoetry.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=Other&action=display&thread=1098167551




I imagine a time when I used to exist.
Never wanting to be born a boy.
Never admitting to shame.
The time when I was on an equal plane with the rest.


I imagine a time when my raven hair would cast evil eyes upon others.
When my first glance to the one who created and held me, disappeared.
When darkness becomes daylight.


I remembered a time when I died.
Never forgetting my faults.
Always looking to the past.
Never forgetting the last.


I remembered a time when I moved.
The strength which held me would crumble to the ground.
Never again witnessing daylight.


I embraced a time when I learned.
Never revealing my secrets and knowledge.
Struggling against my will.


I embraced a time when everything in the world was peaceful.
When evil was a part of good, but only was controlled by goodness.
To show that in a world, there must exist an "evil."


I lived a time where everything has become corrupted.
Where my past haunts me; every waking moment.
And I try to go back, to a time, I am not worthy of.

Still Love You




If only I could show you what you mean to me,
Have you touch me or hold me ever so gently.
All of those good times that we have had,
Please do not leave me, please do not make me sad.
You shall always remain as my sweetest friend,
I hope you can trust me, I'll love you till the end.
One night I said something that I shouldn't have said,
I told somebody secrets that you trusted me with, and it makes me wish
that I was dead.
I shouldn't have been on those pills and online at the same time,
Yet you forgave me anyway you heart still with mine.
You may have a boyfriend of a month or two,
I just want you to know I still love you.
I still love you as a very good friend.
Regardless of whether Im yours in the end,


~ Aaron Graf

Poem #10: Poem of Love
Username: Forgetmenot
Author: Ash D M
Link:




Love in all love I call
To my side and sigh
For all who hate
But love not too late

Realize the look in eyes
That show me love
And hate I take to
Heart but do you

Feel the fire of desire
The dreams to escape
Reality and the touch
Which cares too much

Love I call love in all
For love will forever be
In all love we call
To our side closed inside me
