Hi Gabriel !

Not a poem, either, unfortunately - as English is not my native language I have to refrain from mutilating it by trying to write poetry in it. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif

But have you seen my invitation on the BG II Forum to found a club of broken hearts on this forum ? You could be the Co-president. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

So long !

Yes and I replied.

Gabriel, I was gone for a long time, so I never got to meet you. I saw your thread on the old board when I came back and I am glad you dicieded to stay!

Gabriel 03-05-2001 08:36 PM

Thank you Relic, how is your daughter by the way?

The.Relic 03-05-2001 08:42 PM

Heh http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif , thank you for asking. Britt is doing well, she sure hates her crutches already http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif You know, this has always been the best group of people on any forum I have been a member of, and that is quite a few. Ya gotta love these people http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Gabriel and Ramon - You guys touch my heart.

I guess I'll put a poem in since nobody else has yet. Wish we could grab those poems on the old board too.

BEAUTIFUL KILLER

If you asked yourself waht is the most dangerous thing on earth,
What would it be?
Thinking long and hard on the subject
I came up with Beauty

Now I'm not talking about the Human Race
With all our hatred and Mirth
What I mean is our External Surroundings
Things of Nature and of the Earth

I fear the Purity and Serenity of Snowfall
Piling up relentlessly in an Icy Heap
I see the fatal potential even in these Modern Times
Our existence relies on Gas and Electric Heat

I fear the excitement of a Thunderstorm
The way intimidating everyday scenery looks Surreal
I can get mezmerized by the Lightning Display
And then am reminded of its accuracy to Kill

I fear the neon lava flowing Erupting Volcanos
That ultimately and inevitably creat new Land Mass
And the beautiful engulfing flames of a Forest Fire
That nourishes the old soil depleted from the Past

I fear the righteous arrogance of a Tornado
Proudly spinning its mark upon its Chosen Path
And the life awakening kick of an Earthquake
Rattling the consciousness of all in its Wrath

Our civilization presents an Illusion of Durability
Hiding the Truth of our Growing Vulnerability
These are God's beautiful creations for the Human Race
At least we know we can all die with a Smile on our Face

Sweet Mary Joe......I'm Speachless... Great..

Griever 03-06-2001 05:18 AM

Heres an impromptu, so sorry...

the dark clouds await me
i float up, toward the dar sky
i leave my life, i leave my sorrow
behind me

renewed i rise
renewed i smile
i see the stars
the stars gaze on me with question

why did i leave?
why did i go
on where you should not have
and live till you have to?

i said
at least for the time being
before i crash down
give me some time to fly
to do the things i never could do on the ground
enjoy the laughter
savor the crisp air
love the colors
appreciate the creation
before i go crashing down...

sniff....

Well griever, sounds to me that you are way up now, perhaps in love? or something good that you feel you are undeserved of, but you think it will not last due to the crashing down part.. Am I totally out in the cold??

hard to tell with poems, though it is the images you get in your own heads that makes them good.

Gabriel - I think we have a deal then. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif We will have to call a founding meeting
and draw up a charta.

LadyWendy, nice work. It seems true artists are always inspired by the things right at their hands. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Griever - Your poem gives me the idea you might want to become founding member of the Club of Broken Hearts. Your boardname alone predestines you for it. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

Here is a haiku that is sort of inspired by the moment:

I should be working
but I'm writing here instead
Yay selfemployment!

Gotta love the Japanese for coming up with such an easy way to write legit poetry! I'll do a sonnet later.

Magic

Magic is not tangible
I can’t be kept or held,
It lives around us
In the sky, clouds and moon,
In every plant that grows,
Every voice that sings,
Magic is not a tangible thing,
But it can be seen,
In the eyes of children,
The smile of a lover,
And faces of friends,
Magic is a loving thing
It makes us live,
Expands our minds,
Enriches our souls,
Magic is not a tangible thing,
But it touches our lives every day.

A few nonsensical shorts...

'A Dragon's Treasure'

There is a dragon's treasure few can find,
Smooooth scales, pert nose, and tight behind,
Excepting her balefule eye and belching gasses,
She has beauty and grace like pretty lasses.
'tho the most treasure amourous knights will get,
likey will be to end as a charcoal briquette.

'The ballad of the Lost Army' ...

O' Seargent, my seargent,
our fearful battle is done,
We're a bunch of losers,
The other side has won.
Conscripted like cannon fodder,
we fought from fear, not for honor,
'tho the cause was true and just,
When the seargent bit the dust,
Swift warrior-cowards ran like hell,
Suddenly forgetting their battle lust.

'Heroes Schmeroes'

Heroes, schmeroes have no fear-oes,
They fight for fun, they fight for Gyros,
Fame, treasure, pride, and lust,
No love for justice, more for beer-oes.

'The forgotten King'

The forgotten King went out to sail,
Friendly breeze turned raging gale,
His three-hour tour now sixty-year,
The loyal knights have yet to note,
The missing king and his missing boat.

-Grebki

Gabriel 03-07-2001 06:24 AM

LadyZ it is a deal. Here is my poem, I look forward to hear yours.

I sit,
Staring in out to sea,
The salted wind,
Blowing away the tears,
I hear the laughter,
The joyous tones,
And it brings pain to me,
I will not dance,
Nor sing or play,
Never shall I laugh,
And smile at something said to me,
My only joy,
The shinning light,
My grail, is gone,
Taken from me,
So I sit,
Beyond the signs,
Passed the fence,
As I have every night,
And will for a thousand more,
Since the blackest of days,
I sit and wait,
Wait for the world to know,
I am dead,
I have been since that day.

On a small world,
Afloat in a sea of stars,
A place filled,
By a few billion souls,
One of these souls,
Mirrors my own,
To think, one soul,
In this multitude,
Is the one I seek?
The shear chance,
To meet my mate,
Is 1:3.16 billion?
And growing every day,
If this one finds someone,
And give up searching for me.
So don’t tell me I’ll find the one,
And there is plenty of fish in the sea,
For our time is short,
This world to large,
For a lonely guy, like me.

Sheesh Gabriel. Like I said, running out of good ones here. Damn! Don't get me wrong, I have quite a few written down but some aren't written as well as I would like. Anyway, a short one:

PAINFUL REMINDER

You are a painful reminder of what could Be
If fate intervened and handed me the Key
To the door of my ultimate Destiny

But common sense rules my Existence
Mental dependence is of utmost Importance
Depression screams for Attention
Happiness is merely an Assumption

Which side will win the emotional War
Will I sink or will I Soar?

The boat has many Holes
The oar has many Goals
And the struggle Continues...

Not trying or intending to offend anyone, but for me personally, I'd say that Grebki is the really talented one here, for writing those ironic, acid little poems that relativise things rather than enlarge them to giant size. My compliments!

impromptu number 2: Stress Reliever

i tread on this land
on where i see destruction
glass shards cutting my feet
some objects beyond recognition

i hear screams of rage
desperate cries
a wolfs howl of despair
i hear hatred, with no hint of care in it

i have entered virgin territory
a place i do not know
its vocabulary escapes me
i am alone, with no allies

i am in a wasteland
on where we throw our madness
into this black hole
of nothingness

Black Knight 03-09-2001 10:20 AM

Moonlit nite
Stars above
with my love, with me love

a lingering touch
heartfelt kiss
happiness
with my love, with my love

words unsaid
thoughts mispoke
with my love, with my love

misunderstanding
thoughtlessness
feelings hurt
feeling betrayed
with my love, with my love

phone call
in the night
anger
pain
suffering
talking it out
with my love, with my love

a second ring
in the night
crying
laughing
forgiving
with my love, with my love

driving
hugs
embrace
intimacy
with my love, with my love

side by side
smiling
sleeping
with my love, with my love.

Grebki 03-09-2001 11:08 AM

My thanks to Melusine. I appreciate the compliment, but unfortunately now my ego is swelling to unusual size.

-Grebki
P.S. I like this thread, there is real talent among the poets here.

walking,
always forward,
never back,
not waiting,
or slowing,
walking,
ever onwards,
from the past.
to the future,
ever walking,
never reaching,
Alway walking
endless foot falls,
echos of bone on stone,
flesh long worn away,
contining, never stopping,
Walking,
one foot first,
the other second,
right,TICK,
left, TOCK,
ever walking,
never stopping,
never waiting,
from the start,
until the end,
endless walking.

He comes,
unbiden,
undesired,
He comes,
No thunder,
Or lighting,
Just perfect sun,
He comes,
And leave ruin,
unchangable moments,
Unbiden,
unwanted,
uncalled,
He comes.
