Let's Share Some Poems

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

I did, thankyou

[philster]

That was a very cool poem DL - be proud.

Even I liked it.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

I've got a load of others I can post, but I need to get my dream diary back first.

[Tsel]

Get it DL and post'em.

I've got a bunch of poems too, but mine are more rhyming spoken word.
They don't hold the great imagery that yours hold.

Love

Oh for you my heart so true
I give to you though it's not new

Bruised and battered it has been
But polished now, to a lovely sheen

To have an hold it as it's yours
Or stamp and throw it out the door

I give you now my love so true
and hope it can hold me through

The times ahead both dark and light
And see love triumph through the night

Two souls as one we may become
And dim the light of morning sun

My poem ends now for it's true
That my love's so deep for you

[Shan]

DragonLord, I love your poems both of them. I especially
like your Love poem and the way you ended it.

You are very talented.

I hope you will share others that you have written with us.

Shan

[Shan]

DragonLord, that is a real compliment coming from Phil since he doesn't care much for poetry.

Shan

[Shan]

See Phil, I told you if you stuck around this column very long you might find something that you liked. ;D

Told you so, told you so, told you so. ;D

Shan

[philster]

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's improper to say "I told you so" Shan?



And yes I'll come back more often especially if Dragonlord posts any more poems.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

For all life and all time,
Your love will be mine.

And I will hold you too
so that nothing may harm you

For my love is of the deepest ocean
Though sometimes it feels like motion

Through wind and rain I'd battle again
Just to see your face remain

Just to see you one more time
And know your love is true as mine

Against deepest darkness and brightest light
I would battle with all my might

I'd be yours and yours alone
Before I'd face the night alone

For loves loss is not I grasp
A battle I could win at last

Though 20 men could ne'er bring me low
You alone could make it so.

[Shan]

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's improper to say "I told you so" Shan?

Uh huh, but she's not around. ;D
Besides she never told me I had to act proper with you. ;D

Shan

[Shan]

Another good one, DragonLord.

How long have you been writing poetry?

I really like the way you write.

Shan

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

Through the fields and throught he snow
Follow me, go with the flow

Down to see the oceans edge
There to see the isle of dread

Take the boat accross the water
Save the journeys lust will falter

Up the beach onto the land
Time to see who will stand

To walk accross the land of dread
With the armies of the dead

Tis to late to turn back now
For somone has sunk our scow

Foot by foot we never falter
even though we're in need of water

Join us now if you dare
To beard the devil in his lair

The distant yell I can hear
Makes me quake and quail with fear

I'll never see my wife again
or play with Jonny in his pen

The darkness closes all around me
Leave me now before they find thee.

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

I'm just finding the one's that I've posted else where at the moment, but I've only been doing them since about Feburary

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

Friendship

One may come and one may go
but still they stay and make you glow

In for the best and in for the worst
To comfort you when you nearly burst

To love and laugh through your darkest hew
To cuddle and hold when you nearly die

These friends around you hold you tight
To love and life and all that's right

When all that glitters is not gold
Your friends will help you oh so bold

When darkest night comes accross your land
Your friends will hold you by your hand

When light and laughter helps you through
Your friends will be there sure as you

[Dark Phoenix Rising]

That's all the ones I can find that I've already typed up

I'll post some more when I get my dream diary back.

[Shan]

You have only been writing poetry since February? Wow!!!
That is increditable. You definitely have a talent for it.

Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I'm impressed. And I would really like to see some more that you have done when you get your dream diary back.

Shan

[philster]

A dream diary?

*Takes Dragonlord aside and whispers to him* psst.. wouldn't call it a diary, call it a journal instead... cuz you see.... diaries are for women... journals are for men...

Just joking. That's some great poetry - I really like your friendship poem in particular.

The Light of Stars - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The night is come, but not too soon;
And sinking silently,
All silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.

There is no light in earth or heaven
But the cold light of stars;
And the first watch of night is given
To the red planet Mars.

Is it the tender star of love?
The star of love and dreams?
O no! from that blue tent above,
A hero's armor gleams.

And earnest thoughts within me rise,
When I behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield of that red star.

O star of strength! I see thee stand
And smile upon my pain;
Thou beckonest with thy mailed hand,
And I am strong again.

Within my breast there is no light
But the cold light of stars;
I give the first watch of the night
To the red planet Mars.

The star of the unconquered will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm, and self-possessed.

And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.

O fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know erelong,
Know how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong.

Enjoy.

Shan

Here is what I don't get --- why Mars?
