Leaves falling to the ground
twisting and turning
a golden carpet all around
an unlit fire burning
A chill tinges the morning
soft mist rising into the air
a veil to hide what the day will bring
a vague reminder of a county fair
hickory smoke incense
sifting from a nearby bonfire
intoxicating and intense
does well to inspire
dark asphalt mirroring the dark sky
overcast in shadows of rain
thoughts turn to pondering the whys
pondering the days before me again
The breeze carries the scent of ripened wheat
The last rays of summer sun kissing the earth
as it takes its seat
apon fall's throne before its hearth
twisting and turning
a golden carpet all around
an unlit fire burning
A chill tinges the morning
soft mist rising into the air
a veil to hide what the day will bring
a vague reminder of a county fair
hickory smoke incense
sifting from a nearby bonfire
intoxicating and intense
does well to inspire
dark asphalt mirroring the dark sky
overcast in shadows of rain
thoughts turn to pondering the whys
pondering the days before me again
The breeze carries the scent of ripened wheat
The last rays of summer sun kissing the earth
as it takes its seat
apon fall's throne before its hearth

Lay me down in a bed of roses beauty cuts me like a knife The question this thus poses why do I choose this path in life? A lonely road do I walk a long and winding lane It takes effort not to balk to grip my thoughts and stay sane My heart bleeds droplets of crimson sorrow The love it needs will always be on the morrow Hold me tight hold me near when the night comes calm my fear Keep it at bay give me your love tell me you'll stay as long as the stars above don't leave me in the dark in the shadowed corner of your heart let me see a spark I am falling apart |

Your silence deafens me I want to scream to break it shatter the darkness I can't see but you do as you see fit I try to not fall beneath the weight crushed by my own heart I hold it in and wait for the pain to abate hoping it doesn't tear me apart seeking comfort but finding none laying in a cold empty bed when the day is done It is a lonely life I've led waiting for a rescue that never comes I hungrily await my dreams at night desire reigns and I am not numb restore to me my hope, my vision, my sight. |

Lemme see if I can do a lil erotica....Been on a sad lonely kick as of late. I tremble in your presence you stand close to me breathing it is desire that fills that small distance desire that has welled within seething time stands still slow motion as the gap we close I am at your will opened as the petals of a rose electric pulse rushing your lips touch mine your fingertips brushing your taste divine I feel myself falling a million miles away and yet here your arms are calling as my lashes close and it is clear that is where I belong sheets of silk an unsung song skin of porcelain milk two souls collide and for a moment bond melding inside I cannot help but respond Your call beckons me bound by your chains I am entranced you see your presence drives me happily insane |

Hmmmm well that one did so lessee drawing down the light of the stars wrapping herself in the gauze of shadows locking her insecurities behind bars as her feeling of self asuredness grows borrowing the velvet of roses for her lips a dab of sweet lilac on her wrist moonlit tresses brush her hips as she gives them a slight twist eyes of emeralds glint sharp tang of blood hides beneath the smile her sideways glance only gives a hint of come walk with me for a little while we'll follow the path and see where it leads speak softly together of stories old to the edge of the moonbeams and where they heed come with me and I'll treat you as gold Smile that creeps across lips so full she beckons for you to follow your blood has just begun to cool as she begins to swallow |

what is this I see in my reflection tis not me but rejection I am such a different person inside and yet long ago that person died Someone is in there I know they are underneath the emotional scar My heart beats loud and clear wishing there were someone there to hold me near touch me softly and awaken what lies in side waiting to be taken let me be who I know is there show me there is someone that does care let your kisses cover my skin and let shine what lies here within take away the scars and pain and let me learn how to live again. |

I'd be completely content to sit and listen in as these are some great works in here tonight! Wow! I toss one in to the mix and then off to bed as I must sleep. Innocence lost into the dark corridors of my mind The sweet sips of new things to see lost in the past and I cannot again find the feeling that once was or what I wish I could be I wish to be able to lay back and soak in a bright summer day clouds of thick cotton floating across a brilliant blue gently cradled in a sea of green not a word to say only to drink in all the different hues no cares nor worries to cross into my thoughts nothing bogging me down with the weight of pain no harsh life lessons that are being taught while I grasp at strings trying to remain sane Let me wander through a field of dreams dancing among the petals fair from sunbeam to sunbeam innocence for a moment regained and not having a care |

Though I've tried to douse it with the rain of tears the ember of affection I feel is still hot to the touch I can't seem to hold it back and despite my fears I find it still emits a light though through the scarring you can't see much I know that deep within burns a cyclone of emotional tumoil churning about trying to work its way to the surface I can't let them out for my own facade that would spoil and your reaction I can not face So hide from the sun not wanting to see its shining rays of hope softly whispered I tell myself I am done I say it through a veil of smoke as the ember heats again only to burn me as always from even deeper within I shall endure this pain til the end of my days |

I am hollow nothing inside an longer an empty echo rebounding, silence grows stronger I want to release it all in a scream struggling wanting to run but going nowhere wanting to wake from this dark drowning dream through the fabric of reality I tear Free me from this web in which I am entangled was it me whose fine threads were wove? the same fine threads who leave me strangled? into these dark forboding waters I dove. Salty tears run their course I taste them on my lips I feel the darkness seeping into my pores and into the dark again I slip. I am hollow yet filled with pain, longing, and wistful desire what is there to swallow this slow burning fire? |

Life rushes by like a river rushing never knowing what is around the bend onward going ever pushing not knowing where it reaches an end secrets does it keep beneath hidden treasures tumbled along until it chooses to bequeath the story that may have been hidden for so long attracting life itself to it's edges holding the essence of liquid gold to sustain us it pledges young or old |
| Posted: Jul 20, 2006 12:41 AM | |
wow is it hot in here? :) Looks like some great writing going on tonight. Darlyn I hope to see more of yours! Very origional, bold and just love it! ;) I walk into the room my gaze sweeps you are standing on the other side the one my heart belongs to for keeps A smile across my lips grows wide I slip through the crowd but soon see another in the booth I try not to gasp aloud for doing so would seem uncouth I lean back hoping my eyes have lied but there she is sitting across from you I wipe away the tears and feel something wrench inside I take a moment trying to decide what to do I watch you nod your head and reach for her hand She grasps your own tight it seems all I can stand I know inside it just isn't right I start to walk away but I've watched too long as you look my way you suddenly know They start playing our song as I turn to hurriedly go Her face twists in confusion as you come after me I dart through the crowd in pain The tears blinding me so that I cannot see I go through the door not looking back again You try and stop me as I run away It isn't as it seems I hear you stammering to say It all appears a dream You grip my arm and I turn from you you slowly release me you know I am through I have set you free. Dunno where this came from. LOL It isn't an emotion I am in the midst of or anythign it is just what came out when I wrote though I have been there somewhat w/ the ex. |

Just a rainy day
Raindrops rapping against my pane
like soft fingertips drumming a tune
the silence inside driving me insane
hope it is broken soon
daydreaming of a warmer place to be
wrapping myself in soft fleece
but it is enveloping arms in my minds eye I see
in them I feel a sense of peace
I wish to close my eyes and transport
myself to another place
where time is not so short
it is my own space
somewhere not so alone
soft warm caress
no more heart of stone
no feelings of duress
Please don't wake me if this place I find
I don't wish to open my eyes
I think I'd rather be blind
than wear happiness as my disquise
Instead leave me to my dreams
raindrops playing a rhythm to a song
only I can hear it seems
I promise I won't dwell too long ;)

I look deep into those twin pools searching for meaning that must dwell within pulling away secrets like thread from spools Speak to me my soul twin dancing among the stars glittering among jewels devine hidden are our scars as we gleam and shine fingers interlaced spinning round and round feeling as though we've found our place our own sacred ground happiness fills my inner core I look forward to each day to see what it holds in store what surprises there do lay |

a soft breeze carries hints of moisture playing with tendrils of newly budded green awakening the trees of their sleeping tenure bending and swaying to forces unseen The birds cease their trilling silence falling all around as crickets herald the incoming moisture with their rhythmic sound shadows begin to spread covering the earth as a cloak of forboding as the air falls still and clouds turn red and dark as thick smoke A low grumble begins and builds til then A bullwhip of thunder cracks making the wind blow again Lighting breaks through the black Raindrops begin to pelt the ground in large droplets that leave discs in the dirt spattering all around soil drinking it in deep plants cupping their leaves The skies continue to weep glinting droplets through the foilage weaves Life giving force washing away the drought reveling in its wetness no longer going without soaking in its caresses Soon the thunder begins to fade curtains parting for the final show through the sky a rainbow cascades illuminating the grass...a green healthy glow. |

violet caress kissed softly by butterflies lilac scent wafting (yea I say violet with three syllables. LOL) Purring your sweet song my lovely Taffy my friend Golden happiness |

I am so glad to be here after such a long hectic week. It is always good to come in here and relax and listen. Glass of wine on the table tell tale prints grace it in red the stories it could tell if it were able but silence it keeps instead A single rose petals scattered about it lays as if posed it's scent permeates throughout laughter fills the air from another room a candle is lit from within holding back the gloom as soft voices carry forth again. |

Yearning grips me in its tight embrace
I writhe for release
the power of it holds me in place
a reflection in your eyes I see
Only an image mirrored back
there is no hint of how you feel
I'm staring into a void of black
seeking your heart to steal
I reach for you and you slip away
My fingers brush only air
and I know you'll not stay
why is it that life is so unfair?
you know not that you take
my heart with you when you go
my love is not fake
this I wish you to know
do with it what you will
for while seeking yours
it is my own heart you steal
and into your hands all my love pours
I writhe for release
the power of it holds me in place
a reflection in your eyes I see
Only an image mirrored back
there is no hint of how you feel
I'm staring into a void of black
seeking your heart to steal
I reach for you and you slip away
My fingers brush only air
and I know you'll not stay
why is it that life is so unfair?
you know not that you take
my heart with you when you go
my love is not fake
this I wish you to know
do with it what you will
for while seeking yours
it is my own heart you steal
and into your hands all my love pours

what is it to know love
is it a fluttering in your heart?
Like that of a dove
is it supposed to rip you apart?
to leave you in two
Is it a soft caress
meant just for you?
yet leaves you a mess
Is it a quiet moment
feeling safe in their arms
or aching torment
loss, fear, alarm
what does it feel like
to know it is felt for you
not like the sharp spike
that has run me through
Is this why I flinch in pain
at the first sight of interest?
these questions drive me insane
I do not deserve the best
cut me like a knife
run through with a blade sharp
all I've known is strife
where do I begin to start
to learn to feel
without that instinct
I know not how to heal
for me love may be extinct
is it a fluttering in your heart?

Drawn in to the waters edge
watching the ebb and flow
leaning forward on the ledge
not to close, moving slow
watch it crumble and fall away
digging my toes in, feel the earth move
with the wind I sway
is there anything to prove?
To fall into the cool deep blue
beneath the surface I would sink
under the rich hue
I tip toe on the brink
Finally I let myself go
free falling ...confident
into what lies below
beneath my own surface I am spent
watching the ebb and flow
leaning forward on the ledge
not to close, moving slow
watch it crumble and fall away
digging my toes in, feel the earth move
with the wind I sway
is there anything to prove?
To fall into the cool deep blue
beneath the surface I would sink
under the rich hue
I tip toe on the brink
Finally I let myself go
free falling ...confident
into what lies below
beneath my own surface I am spent

Soft rain scented breezes
as over the land spring eases
Fresh green grass waving gentle
Clouds sometimes looming tempramental
Buds coming out from winters hiding
as cold winds begin subsiding
Migratory birds begin their return
before summers sun begins to burn
Their singing rings throughout
Joy they are not without
Children outside playing
having fun they are not delaying
Easter dresses hunting eggs among the green
as the oval marvels lay unseen
Promises of things to come
new life new beginnings for some

Rain
hair whipped round by the wind
caressing my skin
such trembles does it send
across by body
Standing on the hillside
stalks of wheat reach skyward
an ocean of gold swaying wide
Across the skies the clouds roil
Droplets begin to fall
spattering against my cheeks
I heed to the call
of the coming storm
Feeling as though I could fly
inhaling the scent of the damp earth
cradled in the wheat grass I lay
in this I am carried away
enveloped
So on I stay
hair whipped round by the wind
caressing my skin
such trembles does it send
across by body
Standing on the hillside
stalks of wheat reach skyward
an ocean of gold swaying wide
Across the skies the clouds roil
Droplets begin to fall
spattering against my cheeks
I heed to the call
of the coming storm
Feeling as though I could fly
inhaling the scent of the damp earth
cradled in the wheat grass I lay
in this I am carried away
enveloped
So on I stay

Some poetry I wrote and entered in the Speak Easy Cafe group. Enjoy if you will. :D

I place my heart in your hands
at your will and command
please be gentle with your touch
I can only handle so much
Electricity flows through my veins
threatening to drive me insane
your soft spoken word
you do not have to strain to be heard
You are dizzying to me
I know this you do not see
Like archs of fire that consume
my love continues to bloom
I place my heart in your hands
at your will and command
please be gentle with your touch
I can only handle so much
Electricity flows through my veins
threatening to drive me insane
your soft spoken word
you do not have to strain to be heard
You are dizzying to me
I know this you do not see
Like archs of fire that consume
my love continues to bloom

A caged cat muscles churning under dark hide
paces to and fro watching with glowing eyes from inside
thick steel bars keep freedom from its grasp
Lunging periodically like the strike of an asp
a woman in the moonlight eyes glowing cold
an aura surrounds her as of an era of old
Grasping the thick bars with fingers long and thin
no fear shown of the creature that dwells within
A purr rumbles from the dark
and the light from a single spark
A smile crosses her red lips
breathing in the sweet night air she sips
Walk with me my friend
walk with me on my journey to the earth's end
touching the lock it falls away
on the ground open and twisted it lay
swinging open the gate
Your desire for freedom I shall sate
Massive head lain trustingly in her hands
waiting any gestures or commands
stroking gently along a cheek
Thick black fur shinky and sleek
Padding along the moonlit street
never a stranger pair should one meet
Walking on a journey long
singing a rumbling purring song
to whereever the earth may end
Til then they shall remain friends
A caged cat muscles churning under dark hide

emblazoned interwoven
thoughts of you
I become emboldened
wildfire beckons me
heated touch
my hearts desire
want you too much
I lose my control
your gaze threatens
to steal my very soul
Drawing me in from within
entangled in your web
sweetness that should be a sin
hold me close don't let me go
I gasp for air
I feel as though I'm drowning
it's just not fair
you know not what you do
your lips press mine
you are my obsession
sensation devine
Passion overwhelming
thoughts of you
I become emboldened
wildfire beckons me
heated touch

sweetness that should be a sin
hold me close don't let me go

I feel as though I'm drowning

you know not what you do
your lips press mine
you are my obsession

Lay me down in a bed of roses
beauty cuts me like a knife
The question this thus poses
why do I choose this path in life?
A lonely road do I walk
a long and winding lane
It takes effort not to balk
to grip my thoughts and stay sane
My heart bleeds
droplets of crimson sorrow
The love it needs
will always be on the morrow
Hold me tight
hold me near
when the night
comes calm my fear
Keep it at bay
give me your love
tell me you'll stay
as long as the stars above
don't leave me in the dark
in the shadowed corner of your heart
let me see a spark
I am falling apart
beauty cuts me like a knife
The question this thus poses
why do I choose this path in life?
A lonely road do I walk
a long and winding lane
It takes effort not to balk
to grip my thoughts and stay sane
My heart bleeds
droplets of crimson sorrow
The love it needs
will always be on the morrow
Hold me tight
hold me near
when the night
comes calm my fear
Keep it at bay
give me your love
tell me you'll stay
as long as the stars above
don't leave me in the dark
in the shadowed corner of your heart
let me see a spark
I am falling apart

I let the music drown out the ache
loneliness lingers
such a mess does it make
digging into my heart with clawing fingers
I suck in a breath
but it is stale
cold as death
I quickly exhale
Running my fingers through my hair
as a tear slides down
it doesnt' seem fair
I can only frown
such a void there is and will always be
nothing down the path
no future for me
only the aftermath
seeking hoping wanting more
but it seems the key is long gone
to the lock on this door
til then I wait to see if another way is shown
staring at the paint peeling on the walls
in this prison I have built myself
waiting for someone to call
and take my love down off the shelf.
