    A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    I apologise in advance if someone has already done this, but I thought it would be nice to give all those who love to write, a chance to air their work in public.. i.e. poetry, our own song lyrics or story...


    This is my poem called 'Consummation'..

    The windows of your soul are closed to me
    But I feel you are screaming, when I look inside
    Their indifference hides the pain and the fear
    Such bottomless wells, that ripple so darkly
    I know what you feel and I feel it too..

    In your lonely sad eyes, I can see who I am
    I know you don't see me, but sense how I feel
    They gleam in the darkness, bottomless, fathomless
    so frozen, cold, scared, I'll give what I can
    I know what you want and I want it too..

    It's a hunger, dark, primal and buried so deep
    So take what you want, freely given and mine to give
    Our starvation, with it's inevitable consummation
    Spare nothing and take all, body, heart and soul to keep
    I know what you need and I need it too..

    This dark fire consumes me, and my desire it completes
    Take me now please to the place that I beg for
    Only a brief moment in the blinding sun to remember
    Or a window in the darkness, with a candle that weeps
    I know what you gave and I gave it too..

    A wild fire burning, a savage hunger to feed
    Just some moments in time to remember forever
    Desire, surrender, passion, submission and pain
    A place that I yearned for, a place that I need
    I know what you crave and I crave it too..

    All the lights have gone out in my body and mind
    Darkness returns to the space that I was
    Your teeth loose their hold on my flesh and my skin
    The way I once felt, now a place I can't find
    I know that you loved me and I loved you too..


    Oh God.. There you go.... that was me being very brave..

    Good Luck...

    Wow.. loved that Poem. I'm not much of a poetry writer, I've dabbled in mediocre rom-com contemporary fiction stuff but nothing that I'd feel confident in submitting for publication or posting extracts on a forum

    well done you on your poem though !!

    Ok this is from my mis-spent youth - still makes me smile

    I look at you and what do I see?
    A caring face looking back at me.
    A halo above gleaming blonde hair,
    Somebody for whom I deeply care.
    <o:p> </o:p>
    Upon your back two feathery wings,
    In your heart, confused feelings.
    In your eyes, to me it seems,
    I sometimes see glimpses of dreams.
    <o:p> </o:p>
    Things that have been, things yet to pass,
    For time passes by too quickly too fast.
    So I hold precious these moments together,
    Wishing they could last forever and ever.
    <o:p> </o:p>
    For who knows what the future may hide,
    But I fear it not with you by my side.
    For roads unknown are best walked with a friend,
    Someone on whom you can truly depend.
    <o:p> </o:p>
    And now dear angel, oh favoured Polish blonde,
    If only you could wave a magical wand.
    Until then however, I’ll gladly make do
    With the magical experience of being with you!
    <o:p>

    </o:p>
    Who's next
    Christopher

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Here's one I rustled up today, whilst doing the ironing.. No wonder I couldnt concentrate...

    The Silver Thread

    I have a shiny silver thread, wrapped tight around my heart
    It's long and strong and memories are trapped within its coils
    Unwrap it and you can see, the live that I have lived
    A tapestry of light and love, a masterpiece in oils

    The knots you see along the thread, a places where it broke
    At times when life was hard to bare, and I was truly lost
    With care it was tied together again, to make it strong and true
    The love of friends and family, were all the repairs cost

    Hold tight your shiny silver thread, it is the key to your heart
    Let others hold it with you, share all you are and more
    It's length and strength will guide you through life
    Its also worth its weight in gold, and will open any door

    Unwind the shiny silver thread, all thoughts I've placed inside
    The laughter, joy and happiness, the tears, the trials the pain
    In every inch of silver thread, a memory will hide
    I would not change the life I've lived, or try to live again

    When you find the end of your silver thread and life comes to an end
    You'll find a place where pain's no more and loneliness has gone
    The silver thread will guide you home, to where your'e warm and safe
    To be with the one's you've always loved, no more to be alone

    I think this one is a little more cheerful ?

    You, me, a quiet night,
    All we need is just a meal for two.
    Come on round, bring a bottle of wine,
    Come and see my gift for you.

    Take a look and see what you mean to me,
    Incandescent drops they're all shiny and white,
    Take a look and see what you mean to me,
    Here's my gift for you: a Necklace of Pearls tonight!!

    Oh I know about your curtains of velvet,
    And I know about your lining of silk,
    Don't remind 'bout your tongue of satin,
    Or your lips an' how they make me melt...

    Take a look and see what you mean to me,
    Incandescent drops they're all shiny and white,
    Take a look and see what you mean to me,
    Here's my gift for you: a Necklace of Pearls

    As a teacher, I'm more likely to write children's poems or humorous poems about teaching. So here's one:




    School Trip




    Going on a school trip in a rickety old bus.
    Sixty miles an hour? Well, that’s far too slow for us.
    Singing, shouting, screaming, yelling, making lots of fuss,
    Going on a trip away from school.

    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Fields and houses rushing past, an ever-changing scene.
    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Sir, I need the toilet! I can’t go? Well, that’s just mean.
    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Danny Johns is feeling sick! Look, Miss, he’s going green!
    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Going on a trip away from school.

    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Asking, “Are we there yet?” when we’ve only gone a mile,
    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Teachers getting flustered as they say, “We’ll be a while.”
    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Coats up in the luggage rack, all jumbled in a pile,

    <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Spare a thought for teachers as we drive them round the bend,

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Todays offering: Apologies for it's length

    The Diary

    I must be moving on again
    Turn pages where I’ve lingered
    I’ve touched them, oh so carefully
    With gentle, loving fingers

    Each page has wrinkled over time
    They’re filled with smiles and tears
    The cobwebs of my life re-lived
    With all the passing years

    If I decide to open it
    And gaze upon its pages
    I see my life in front of me
    A diary through the ages

    Every single word I wrote
    I’ve copied from my heart
    The feelings that were on display
    Right from the very start

    When I was young and very shy
    The place that I could go
    Would be my room I’d be alone
    And no one else would know

    I’d pour the secrets from my heart
    Each word in every line
    Would be my soul on paper
    To keep for all of time

    I’d hide it in my bedroom drawer
    So no one else could see
    The secrets I had written down
    The very core of me

    Years later when I found it
    All tattered, ripped and torn
    The pages were all yellowed
    Its sentiments all gone

    The cover was so dusty grey
    Those words so hard to read
    I tried so hard to see the past
    Of all those times in need

    All I wanted was a friend
    Who’d sit with me and smile
    To nod their head and answer back
    And need ME for a while

    The memories came rushing back
    The tears began to flow
    Of all the ones who love me now
    And those I’ve yet to know

    My past is now behind me
    I must now travel on
    The book is back inside the drawer
    The pain and hurt has gone

    When I feel bad and wonder why
    Things aren’t the way I’ve yearned
    I won’t forget my diary
    The past and all I’ve learned

    I’ll hold its dusty covers
    With a gentle loving hand
    And smile at all the years gone by
    Like gently shifting sand

    I’ll look inside my heart
    And know the past is always there
    But dwell on it, I don’t think so
    There’s danger if you dare

    Look back but only briefly now
    The past is dead and gone
    Just learn from it my dearest friends
    A lesson learned, be strong

    The past is there to teach us
    To guide us on our way
    The futures there to be enjoyed
    So love and live each day

    A diary’s now kept in my heart
    Its memories I can waive
    The dust I’ve blown away for good
    Right now is all I’ll save

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    And today...

    NEVER! EVER!

    My heart is in my mouth again
    It makes me gag and choke
    I'll NEVER say 'I lOVE YOU'
    or 'MISS YOU', thats a joke

    I'd rather die than tell you
    How I feel deep inside
    I'd rather walk in 'Deaths Dark Vale'
    than trust you, 'cause you lied

    You'll NEVER hear me say 'those words'
    I'll hide them dark and silent
    This bitter pill I swallow hard
    The pain I feel so violent

    So what you see is what you get
    the 'Front' I have, 'So Cool'
    You'll NEVER know what lies beyond
    this face you see; You Fool

    You'll NEVER know quite what you lost
    The night you left this place
    I'll NEVER tell you how I felt
    But lie right to your face

    I'm strangled by the way I feel
    On words I always stumble
    My eyes can't show what's in my heart
    This brave facade won't crumble

    So walk away, and DONT LOOK BACK!
    You'll NEVER see me cry
    I'll wave and smile and let you go
    but I'm choking on 'GOODBYE'

    So when I turn my back to you
    and walk away, so proud
    You'll NEVER know what was on my mind
    as I vanish in the Crowd

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Just one more. A little more lighthearted....

    MORNING COFFEE

    The scattered chairs and tables
    Tell a story in this place
    My back is pressed against the wall
    So I can see each face

    I sit in quiet solitude
    Before the crowds arrive
    The sun streams through the window pane
    It makes me feel alive

    I watch the fountain splashing
    In the courtyard 'cross the way
    I sit far back into my chair
    And start to plan my day

    I'm hiding in this corner
    To store some peace of mind
    And gather all my happy thoughts
    I need just to unwind

    I close my eyes and calm myself
    Then finish off my prayers
    'I hope this days a good one, please'
    Then I'll walk past those chairs

    I look behind me, one last time
    Someone else is sitting down
    It doesn't matter at all to me
    As I stroll back to town.....

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    ANOTHER DAY

    Eyes half shut and curtains drawn
    The light of day is sneaking in
    Silver dawn creeps in the room
    Cuts the darkness like the moon
    Forces me to face a new day
    Makes me think 'Is there a new way'?
    To hold back time and climb back into
    A state of 'waiting to be born'

    I turn to face the other wall
    Pretending that I'm still asleep
    The pillows are a perfect place
    It's where I like to hide my face
    This warmth and silence is my doom
    I close my eyes and leave the room
    Go to a place where I feel safe
    Where no-one reaches me at all

    A first, all's quiet and nothing stirs
    My eyes tight shut and body resting
    The sounds outside aren't fading fast
    I know right now that it can't last
    The birds decide when it is morning
    Their cries and calls as day is dawning
    I can't hold back the hands of time
    Or hold on to the wings of birds

    I stretch my body, stiff like lead
    I feel that night has left for sure
    The milkman's driving up the street
    The postman heavy on his feet!
    The dustman is a noise I hate
    I hear him crashing through my gate
    Life goes on and I can't stop it
    I think 'OK', and nod my head

    These precious moments on my own
    I contemplate and make my plan
    I know that I will face this day
    I know that when I drive away
    The thoughts I'll have to get me through
    Are memories I have of you
    Looking forward to the start of night
    For in my dreams, I'm not alone

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Here's one that is inspired by real events that happened tonight.

    It may not be for the squeamish or easily frightened...

    In the silent room only the drip drip drip can be heard
    A Crimson metronome beating out it’s rhythm on the floor.
    A Dark figure surveys the scene, knife gleaming in his hand
    While the spreading scarlet pool, creeps towards the door.

    The Figure drops the knife to grab a nearby cloth
    And starts to clean the mess, warm, slick and congealed
    The grizzly and gruesome remains are bagged and binned
    The evidence of the nights violent acts, now cunningly concealed

    ...
    ...
    ...

    Now dear reader, there’s no need for you to fear
    I’m not some vile and murderous sinner
    Your humble narrator is Just a clumsy geek
    Who dropped the plate holding his evening’s dinner

    A Broken plate, by gravity t’was cracked asunder
    Sausages under the table rolled, and mash upon the seat splashed,
    The beans and mushrooms, trodden underfoot
    And thus my tasty dinner plans dashed

    If I put you to music
    it wouldn't be a love song
    that's not where you belong
    in a tale of sweet romance
    So dance-lady, dance

    If I put you to music
    it wouldn't be a violin
    soft strumming mandolin
    the crooner would never have a chance
    So dance-lady, dance

    Just remember while your dancing
    you spread some happiness
    a cure for loneliness
    there still be pain if everything goes wrong
    better than a love song
    my love song

    ROSES IN THE STORM

    The roses by the garden fence
    Bow their gentle heads in shame
    Their velvet petals crying
    Lashed and beaten by the rain

    The newly opened rosebuds
    Tell a sad and solemn tale
    With faces bent down to the earth
    Blown and battered in the gale

    Each raindrop like a teardrop
    Falls splashing to the ground
    And forms a pool of water
    That ripples with no sound

    The little pool of water grows
    Like nature’s formed a mirror
    Reflections of the roses blooms
    In the water, gently quiver

    When the storm has ended
    The roses give a sigh
    The raise the heads up to the sun
    And watch the clouds pass by

    So dry your eyes and look beyond
    The roses in the yard
    The storm will pass without a doubt
    And though your life seems hard

    The flowers in the garden know
    Whatever storms they face
    They’ll fight to live another day
    And fill our world with grace

    When autumn comes and flowers die
    You’ll know without a doubt
    Next year when summer comes around
    The roses will be out!

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    At it again i'm afraid... this one was in my head at 1.30am this morning

    GET OUT!!!


    You can get out of my head now
    You’ve been there long enough
    You must have crept in quietly
    And now it’s getting tough

    You must have taken residence
    The day my back was turned
    You moved in very quickly
    And now I’m getting burned

    You’ve taken up the time and space
    Reserved for only me
    This place is mine so ‘Please Get Out’
    I hate this, Can’t you see?

    There’s only room for one in here
    I really cannot share
    It’s full of junk and rubbish now
    Please leave it, if you care

    It’s dangerous and dark in here
    You’re dicing with your mind
    If I were you I’d get back out
    Another you should find

    So give me back my front door key
    I’ll lock it up again
    To keep out ALL intruders
    As you’re driving me insane

    There is one thing I’d like to know
    Where did you find the key?
    I must have let my barriers down
    You got inside of me

    So give me back my sanity
    And give me back my heart
    You moved in there at the same time
    And tore my dreams apart

    ‘GET OUT!’ and pack your bags today
    And give me back my space
    Just leave RIGHT NOW and don’t look back
    It’s time to sell this place

    ‘One Empty Heart and Mind For Sale’
    A shell that has no soul
    A head that’s dark and empty now
    And a heart that’s just a hole..

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Some lovely poems on here guys, so you've inspired me to include one of my own. Not technically a poem, rather lyrics to a song I wrote a while ago, but doesn't feel right to put it in the Lyrics thread because I've never 'heard' it sung...

    Lucky

    Old saying goes
    Lucky in cards, unlucky in love,
    But I don't seem to find
    Much luck coming my way either way.

    I'd give you my heart
    If you'd only cradle it in your hands
    But you don't realise
    You hurt me every time you play away.

    And it's not hard to see
    I'm not what you want me to be
    But I don't know what to do
    Should I change for you?
    If I can't be me and be enough for you
    Don't you think it's time we're through?

    Old saying goes
    Play with fire and you'll just get burned
    I'd rather be burned by you
    Than be in the dark and cold alone
    Do I need this or am I just fooling myself?

    Why do I crave you as much as I do
    When you seem so indifferent to me?
    I think I see something in your eyes
    I look back and it's gone
    Was it ever really there at all?

    It's not hard to see
    I'm not what you want me to be
    But I don't know what to do
    Could I change for you?
    If I can't be me and be enough for you
    Don't you think it's time we're through?

    Old saying goes
    Lucky in cards, unlucky in love,
    But I'm gonna start today
    And change my luck, and find another man
    Who'll be my only one
    The world won't seem so lonely and then I...

    I won't crave you as much as I do
    I'll be with someone who loves me too
    And when I see something there in his eyes
    It'll be there every time
    And I won't need to be lucky in cards anymore.

    Daddy’s Girl

    Gentle touch and loving gaze
    Hands held out without a fear
    Like an angel looking at me
    Hope and love so crystal clear
    You are the closest to my heart
    Loving, trusting child of mine
    Creamy skin and cheeks of rose
    Stay with me for all of time

    Timeless endless memories
    Walking slowly thru’ the park
    On your nose a blob of ice-cream
    I watch you sleeping in the dark
    Tiny hands curled by your face
    Quiet breaths and peaceful sighs
    Skin as soft as flower petals
    I’ll keep you safe with watchful eyes

    Your joyful laughter in the bath
    Soapy bubbles in your hair
    Water splashing on the floor
    It’s much more fun when mum’s not there
    Your tiny hand so small in mine
    Grabs my finger when you re scared
    You look to me to keep you safe
    Sweet child of mine my heart is bared

    Your stumbling steps across the room
    Determinedly you head my way
    You look at me and don’t give up
    Sometimes I don’t know what to say
    Chocolate cake smeared on your face
    The day your birthday came
    You tried to blow your candles out
    And I tried just the same

    I sing to you, when you re here
    And play for hours until you go
    We read and romp and horse around
    We’ve built a snowman in the snow!
    And when you re grown and looking back
    Remember Dad this way
    Please don’t look back with sad regret
    I had to go away
    I’m always here sweet child of mine
    Especially when you sleep
    You know I’ll love you for all time
    So don’t read this and weep

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Been a bit busy on my holidays...

    Diamond Night

    A million diamonds on the water
    On a distant wave of molten silver
    Untouchable stars in the coal black skies
    Are the jewel's shining in your eyes

    Deep silken night with dazzling moon
    On ebony sea with diamonds strewn
    Every one far out of reach
    A million lights years from the beach

    Hot white stars and blinding moon
    Fathomless skies as dark as you
    Velvet black and diamond bright
    The difference between day and night

    From the safety of the sands
    I can reach out and hold your hands
    And like the jewels I can see
    I know that it's not meant to be

    The chilled dark night with diamonds rare
    The frozen moon with baleful stare
    A million light years from the beach
    Like you, forever out of reach

    Inky black and frozen white
    Summer's day and winter's night
    The sun's first rays cut thru' the skies
    The day is born and night time dies

    A million diamonds slip away
    Their brightness fading with the day
    The ebony sea is shimmering blue
    The moon has gone and so have you

    The stars and moon no longer there
    I know for sure you couldn't care
    Just like you they're out of reach
    A million light years from this beach

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    Just one more for today....

    Seduction

    Light touch of gossamer silk on skin
    Trace the path of a butterfly's wing
    Like cobweb strands blowing in the breeze
    The gently sighing of wind thru' trees
    A feeling as fragile as the wings of a bird
    A thundering heart that noone has heard
    Like whispering clouds in a summer sky
    Anticipation, being the ultimate high
    Every breath an eternal wait
    I hang by a thread to know my fate
    Bittersweet and sharp as a rose's thorn
    The light that comes just before dawn
    Like grains of sand pouring thru' my fingers
    And the last ray's of sun that slowly lingers
    Your indrawn breath and inaudible sign
    The warmth of your skin and the look in your eye
    A silent agreement in both of our minds
    A pact to keep secret, what the other one finds..
