The story thread got me thinking... how about the poets amongst us?
So a poems thread. As with the stories, no judgements, so slagging or discouragement please. I know there are several bards around and lyrics and poems often have a very blurred line between them - i feel poetry is any form of written/spoken expression and even many great stories are just really long poems. (Homer's Illiad and Oddessy, Bihari's The Satasai, Attar's Conference of the Birds, etc...)
So feel free to express, or just discuss a favourite.
I used to have one of my own in my sig briefly and I saw LoA's in Ladyzekke's House of Questions. So in a way it's already begun.
But I guess I should start it off here...
*************************
Deep,deep
It goes very deep
Invades your awake, violates your sleep
Rips you apart, tears you to grief
The brief happy moments are small tears of relief
Sink, sink
You can only sink
Chained to ideals and that passion will link
All to the one but you come undone
Can Love be a blackhole as well as a sun
Lies,lies
Has it all been lies
Coloured half-words concealled in highs
You speak and respond but inside you cry
The loss of your spirit is the first time you die
*****************************
I wrote this trying to understand a friend's pain. Thankfully they didn't lose their spirit - it's very much alive, beautiful and growing.
