Life
LIFEOur life is full of twists and turnsWith highs and lows a story burnsWe are but candles in the windMoved to and fro not on a whimWe stand so high but then we fallAs if we've hit a solid wallWe get back up and move againWe must ignore the constant painTo cast a smile or loving gazeWe see much light through yonder hazeThe sun still shines, a days caressedOur life is not just emptiness.life.jpg

"Because it has lived its life intensely
the parched grass still attracts the gaze of passers-by.
The flowers merely flower,
And they do this as well as they can.
The white lily, blooming unseen in the valley,
Does not need to explain itself to anyone;
It lives merely for beauty.
Men, however, cannot accept that 'merely'."
"You don't always have to pretend to be strong,
there's no need to prove all the time that everything is going well,
you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking,
cry if you need to,
it's good to cry out all your tears
(because only then will you be able to smile again). "
If you feel like, leave your comments :) Thank you :)
I like your poem..very nice!..I think your poem (Insides inside) has a hidden meaning or something..Is this a poem for a man who has a complete understanding of life? He loves to think and contemplate. He is intelligent. But he can't communicate what's really on his mind to others. What really inside his mind he can't relate it although he has a great things to say. Maybe because as you said his experience of life hardship and degradation. Hence, in some point he developed a inferiority complex towards others. He wanted it to scream his mind but how? He can't find ways to show it outwardly. That's why what's happening outside is different what's going inside.
or....
Just simply on this moment his mind is wandering, thinking so many things. His appearance is like he doesn't give a damn of what is happening in outside world. But in reality inside his mind is full of things he contemplate.
It's just how I perceive it..Would you mind to explain what you mean with your poem, please?
mayumee
I love poetry, so I am here. I can rhyme one word with another, but I cannot consider me to be a poet. I think I'm the same as some members here. It's a good idea of having a personal space for every local poet. I think I needn't. I'd like only take part in a game and sometimes post poems by other famous poet as a beautiful pattern.
I'm waiting for your responce.
Sincere regards.
I agree to you, Mr. Night. This will make our group more organize.. In one glance we can see all the poem of each member.
The first poem we can post it in our own space, Do you mean also the next poems can be post in this same page? In the same box or in the comment wall in your own space?
I'm thinking of some thing very interesting , How about making a poetry space for every each of you? In the forum Discussion box, for example you start a Discussion, you only put your name, like ; Mr-Night, and this will be known as your poetry space, only your poems posted there and any one who likes your poetry can comment there.
This way will be good for gathering all your work in one known place, and If you can’t do that I can help you. Please , just to make the group page organized, you only have to write in the Discussion Title your name! only your name.
Send me back what you think, and If I get the approval of more than 5 members, we will start doing it, right now just mail me back!
Kind Regards
Mr-Night
Time of essence
If time is of essence, then let it be today
Our visions like a ship, on a sea, that sails away
Halt you wind, soften all this tension and brisk fear
Each day drifts closer.... Look, reach out, your dream is near
Am i pessimistic to think there may never be
An altruistic love between two people, specially you and me
Look! The ship drifts closer, temptation says to search
No! Wait for the current slowly bring it to a perch
My feelings teader tauder watching waves bounce for and aft
Lets tell no lies and compromises, the caption turned and laughed
Swiftly raise the sail, for new winds begin to blow
My heart and dreams exit with the ship as I watch her go
Tears not wasted for a lesson was left by him
Future is for those who dream, past is broken dreams, you see
So build on all those downfalls to make the future bright
Be optimistic for the present, and the rest will turn out right!
A poetry for something i used to think it impossible, but........
The best memory of someone.....
What is this life without a smile
Sorrow and worries have filled the Nile
What is this life without a hope
It seems there but beyond the scope
What is this life without a dream
A dawn without the sun to beam
What is this life if happiness is a way,
we can do nothing only pray.
What is this life without an aim
Man and animals will be the same
What is this life if full of pain,
A bare desert without rain.
What is this life a day without breeze
A big forest with burnt trees
What is this life a rotten orange to squeeze
Its not ours but we have a signed lease

In a dark day their blood was shed
Turning the sea's colour into dark red
They were heroes for freedom fight
With bare chests struggled with all their might
Sharks from the sea ,ravens from the sky they firmly face
History has never known such a case
To shoot civilians and freedom advocates in the midday
Is a real crime .Its not a play
Wolves in a thick forest you were grown
Savages you came to kill ,to murder and to break the bone
Equally pulled Europeans ,Arabs , Asians and Turkish
To the shore in a ship like the fish
You know no mercy on children nor women you were inhumane
The shoots from the sky were like the rain
The world has been silent ,it has been dead
We condemn ,disapprove, criticize these words covered the head
Oh world ! Where were you ???
Its their habit ,nothing is new
They killed children ,women, old men ,even handicapped
All their crimes have been wrapped
You were deaf ,You were blind
Navey,thanks for the favour you were kind
You melt the snow and the real face revealed
Sixty years we have been in such a field
Dear navy ,what can you do??
It wasn't secret all the world took cue
You 'll condemn and to the International Court sue.
The US is there to say veto.
