why not have a poetry thread for our members here?!!i mean,im sure there are budding poets here,hiding though.ysee they are shy i guess.And even if not poets...how about sharing some beautiful sayings,thoughts or poetry,anyway?!!Its going to feel soo good and im sure lindas going to utter a 'quite'!!
Do let me know if thats ok with u friends?!!

Meanwhile,let me just write a small little poem.An utterly amateur effort but hey...pleaaase...dont laugh!!!

titled:HARDWORK

Yes,i have hurt you...
cut you in half,
with my cruel words.
In love with the thought,
th very thought of hating you.
You say,youve never,ever,
met a woman...
who's so much of a shrew.
You havent done any wrong,
to me...
and yet i bear a grudge?

**

Will you just walk away...?!!
Have you ever,
just ever once...
shook me so hard,
held me so tight,
gazed peircingly in my eyes,
and asked....
demanded....shouted!!!!
Why,just why...
i hate you so much?
Why....
do i try so hard?!!!!

Ok guys....tell me something...what zodiac sign lady would feel as the person in the poem is feeling?I personally thought it could be either scorpio or leo.What do you think?Please let me know!
thanks and do post here!!
love
shagun.

I immediately thought Scorpio (before I read your choices). Not sure why.

Thanks for sharing the poem!

KJS

A peotry thread is a wonderful idea, Shagun -- and here it is! Thanks for starting it.

Hey, everyone!!

This is a great idea. I just happpened to write a new song yesterday, for the which the inspiration came from this very forum!
After reading through a thread about twin souls, my heart was warmed so much, I wrote a beautiful little tune about soul mates. A refreshing break from my ususal doom and gloom songs. ( Other titles include "I'd rather be a crack addict" and such).
Well, here goes. It sounds much better when delivered as a song, but this will have to do. Think lullabye

You are my favorite mystery
Are you real or are you history?
I believe in twin souls that meet.

You were my king, and I your servant.
And I was your healer, you my broken.

Egypt and China to America and Ireland
We were meant for each other's arms

I hear you laughing, even when you're not with me.
You hear me, when I'm only thinking.

So, love me like you know how
Like you will, centuries from now

Well, that's all I have so far. Maybe one day, you'll hear it on the radio, and you can say you heard it first here! I do love poems. Let's hear more!
Love,
Isis

That's beautiful Isis.

You've inspired me, now I may dig up some of my love poems from my days of living in your town!

I love this idea.

Hurt, pain, without gain, raining inside, smiles outside, seeing destiny cupped in your hands, standing tall, amidst it all, believe in you... the you of you... for its true... "love conquers all"... no more pain, hold truth in the pyramid of your soul and light the light of centuries past, do not mask, the joy of knowing, your knowing, by listening to others, of long time passed, who forgot, how to ask their angels, their God within, their source, their light, forget force, let it come forth, the joy in your life, without strife, no more alone, for you have found always within, that Light of knowing, where you are going, from where you have come, from the Sun... from the Moon... from the Stars... from the One.

This is fun!

*Aries* Kate

Kate, that's great!

Well thank you Mr.Webmaster...

Kate,
How very beautiful. You put your heart and soul into that didn't you?

Okay, my turn .
---------------
Here's to those brave souls who fight
The battle of the sexes:
Throwing curses, hurling hexes,
Each deciding the other's hiding
From the truth, and riding
Too high on a mighty horse --
No wonder I'm three times divorced!

But still in all it must be said,
That without love, we'd all be dead,
Or better yet, unborn,
And so we tend to bear the thorn
That pricks a little in the pride
But gives us what we need inside
To feed the mighty appetite
For sweet love and affection.

A connection
Is a cosmic thing,
That makes you laugh and dance and sing
And shout about the glowing clear light
Of life's sweet delight!

A man and woman should be friends.
It seems to me, it never ends,
If time and tide and circumstance
Contribute to the sweet romance
Of human beings being freeing
To each other,
And a lover
Isn't just another notch
In the gun slung at your crotch.

Love? I don't know, but it's sweet
To sit at the lotus-feet
Of confusion and illusion
Working into understanding,
And a being undemanding,
In acceptance and delight,
Until there really is no fight,
And, dancing to the beat,
I can be me
And you be you,
And ever the twain shall meet.

Greg,

Fabulous!

The budding poet tries again...

Listen, quiet heart, at the break of a new dawn, a yaaawn, a smile, remember a child... my child... my baby Gemini boy, all snuggly and warm... no sadness, just gladness, that he was born, for all is good in our lives, no fears, no tears, these are special years, no need for more, today my heart soars, free of sadness, no violin strings... it was yesteryear, when my heart felt that sting, that longing, that yearning, for one other, and to share love, the love of a Child and Mother... no more need to cling, even for a fleeting moment, to the sad tone of my heart and the violin strings, for now in my heart, the harp sings, the drum beats within, jumping and pumping with love at the break of a new dawn.

Kate,

Beautifully put
I really am impressed with your poetry...you have just made me want to sit down quietly for a while and attempt a verse or two.

I'll be back!!!!!
Love and Laughter,
Kelly-Anne

Gregory/Webmaster/Daddy,

That poem is so AMAZING!!!!!!!!! How did I not hear this before? Such beauty and truth never sounded so sweet. Really, it's quite stunning. Please e-mail me a copy if you would.

Kate, your poems are very beautiful as well. I love the fluidity of them.

Here is another go at a poem/free-verse I wrote last year.

I'm trying to find the love but watch your back, a door opened a crack may swing wide to uncover the trembling existence of a trapped wood nymph living in the branches of my heart, who yearns to roam the mountainsides and rainforests and hills in the untainted magical land of the loving. And the forest of love calls to her, begging to put an end to all suffering and accept the overflowing everlasting cup of the best love you ever tasted. And it will roll over your tongue, as a fever washed away and ignite the burning bursting energy that surges through your body, and shoots out far and wide and long and deep. And it will blanket the entire universe and I will be taken around the moon to the sun and back again and burn burn burn as bright as the firey stars. I am the stars, I am the earth, I am the air. In the divine land of the loving, where wood nymphs play and flower fairies spread love and beauty to life all around them.

With love in my heart,
Isis

OK here it goes....remember I haven't done this before and I don't believe I am an accomplished poet by any means.....

Skies colored black and blue
I think only of you

Sun you must surely shine
So my heart is truely untwined

I can't give up this fight
I must believe in it's might

Sing me a beautiful song
I need to love thee life long

Love thee not hate thee
Open your third eye and see

My mind needs no permission
My love has no condition

Take me in your arms
And keep our love from harms

I love you my Soul,my Self

Hmmmmm.....I liked it!

Love and Laughter,
Kelly-Anne

Kelly,

Simply wonderful!

*Aries* Kate

Hiii Isis/Greg/Kate/Kelly-anne,

god!!!Iam sooo pleased!!!Budding poets?!!!no way man!!!You guys are really good,way too far from a budding poet.
Amazing/beautiul/excellent!!!
I was just transported elsewhere reading ur lyrics,truly!yknow its so amazing that poetry tells u so much about the individual it comes from!really!Now im having quite a bit of an idea about everyone(i hope that dosent invade ur privacy?!)and its so nice to realise that such beautiful souls abide on this site!!Makes me feel a small pinch of pride and lots of joy!!

Keep it up friends!This is really,reaaly good!!

Another amateur effort:

titled:Im Happy...Today.

Iam happy today.....
suddenly.....

Each breath grants a new life,
time has stopped silently,ethereally.
Iam suspended in a glorious eternity,
Bliss flowing like a golden ocean.Each beat of my heart peirces,
emerging forth the awesome magic,
of love's ultimate,unending power...
that i had long...forgotten.
Feeling formless and yet living,
oh,living indeed to full,this time.
Seems like a hazy,drunken trance,
yet clearly in reach,a promise.
So protected.lying finally secure,
in arms that clasp me so strongly.
Being caressed like the night,stars.
Adored and kissed by gentle,tender eyes,
like the sun lends the moon light.
Standing forever and ever beside,
like a companion of shore,the waves.
Touching each star as i pass on,
on the wings of an exotic breeze.
Swaying like the graceful trees,
having angels in my symphony.
Flowing and discovering my being...
In you,through only you...
I have searched and desired long,
but now does destiny entertain me,
for i have passed my souls test,
and the heavens open before me....

Today and finally iam happy......
I now stand complete...

..Universally.

bye!see u guys with some more gems!
love
shagun.

Shagun!

very beautiful. Absolutely blissful! And a good meditation the day

Love, Isis

I am grateful for this thread as I am a lover of words and poetry! Here are two of my poems...
**********************************
"Singular Gemini"

Holding your own hand,
hadn't you always said
that you were the only one
to understand yourself
completely?

The Twins stand admidst their duality
yet they recognize
the other
They sense, perhaps, the brother, sister,
the lover
And you
resist the company of me

I, the Bull,
who would have held your hand
so effortlessly...

*******************************************
"Astrology's Musical Chairs"

Taurus hurts
Libra sleeps with her
resting her head on his chest.
They feel each others' heartbeats
and feel safe.

Scorpio hurts
Libra sleeps with her in a room
they know well.
They make love for eleven years
and feel safe.

Taurus knows Libra tilts toward devotion
She is alone in bed biting her nails
and spitting them onto the rug.

Scorpio knows Libra tilts toward
new-found love
She reads her harlequin romance to
keep her mind occupied and pets
her cat with low, hard strokes.

Libra serves both loves
striving for balance, equality,
fairiness

The house grows smaller
every day.
*************************************

Thank you for reading!

Kathleen, of course you may use my poem, I'm very flattered. I've read your Sherdhana's Hand lyrics, and they're wonderful -- all your lyrics are!

Here's another twin-soul song of my own:

Lady light, it's the middle of the night,
And you're not here but I'm feeling alright,
Tonight I'll have to love you in my dreams.
If my heart beat harder it'd bust its seams,
I'm a fool to be rushing in strong,
Where a wise man would have been long gone,
Lady light I feel so free,
And can it be,
You feel the same for me?
It's a mystery,
How we can fly so high and free --
Lady lover, you're the other
Half of me.

Lady kin, you're a twin of mine,
A brother and a mother and an androgyne,
You are in my darkest hour,
When I was a honeybee I knew you as a flower,
I will take you for a ride,
Then I'll meet you on the other side,
Lady light, I loved you when
This world began,
I'll love you when it ends.
Then I'll love you again,
While we fly so high and free --
Lady lover, you're the other
Half of me.

Lady fire, with your desire,
You're fanning my flame and it's crackling higher,
It's not a matter of time or space,
It's not a matter of needing a place,
It's just a matter of needing to
Be dancing through
Eternity with you.
And I always knew,
That we would fly so high and free --
Lady lover, you're the other
Half of me.

Greg,

Your poem is very impassioned and builds to a lovely conclusion. The last stanza is a wonderful vision. I identify--strongly.

A poem about my twin s-elf, wherever he may be. He is named Erich in this poem (and in the series this poem belongs to) but his name could be, really, anything. That name just struck me. "Erich" was written and inspired while listening and absorbing a wonderfully haunting song called "Wilderness" by the group "Dead Can Dance".

********************
"Erich"

And there he stood
Etched in moonlight,dewlight,
twilight and my light.
He had no face to gaze upon
yet he was beautiful.
He had no voice to speak
yet was music was heard.
We looked inside and there
our breath drifted into the wind
So when we touched
we quivered
and upon dancing
we flew.
