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

    Thanks Jacksondonut and zap for the wonderful poems. such poetic talent you both have Haven't read every word of all of your poems but will do so at some point.

    Have decided to post this one of mine as it has a dance theme. Oh this is so, so, so scarey

    Dance Me to the End of Love


    Dance me, dance me, dance me darling
    Dance me to the place
    The place where first you took my hand
    And smiled into my face
    And when we’ve danced a million turns
    And a thousand million more
    Tell me that you love me still
    I’m the one that you adore.
    Then dance me to the angels
    In their lofty realm above
    Dance me, dance me, dance me
    To the very end of love.

    Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me darling
    Kiss me once again
    My hungry lips are all afire
    My heart is all aflame.
    And when we’ve kissed a million times
    In a hundred different ways
    Tell me that you love me still
    Will love me all my days.
    Kiss me till I’m breathless
    It will never be enough
    Then kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
    To the very end of love.

    Love me, love me, love me darling
    Love me good and strong
    Love me in the morning
    When we hear the first bird’s song.
    And when we’ve loved a million times
    And the fire burning low
    Tell me that you love me still
    That your heart is still aglow.
    Love me till my soul is took
    By heaven’s pure white dove
    Love me, kiss me, dance me
    To the very end of love.

    *takes a deep breathe* here goes wrote this a while back and just found it caught up in some other papers

    skimming touch
    baring, melting
    murmurs between twilight
    moonlit curls through a satin veil
    edges blurred
    boundaries dissolving
    slipping between time
    enveloped in moments

    Thank You. I hope you enjoy this one too.

    Anything at all,
    I would have done,
    Anything at all,
    to make her happy,
    to make her smile,
    Even if its fleeting.

    Climb a treacherous mountain,
    Swim through an ocean,
    Fight the largest army,
    Conquer all evil,
    Or even destroy all that is good and pure.

    Anything at all,
    I would have done,
    Anything at all.

    She had a simple request though,
    A very simple request,
    One that was the most difficult to do.

    Taken over the world,
    I would have,
    Banished poverty,
    I would have,
    Built temples of gold,
    I would have,
    Made the world bow at her feet,
    I would have.

    She just had a simple request,
    Anything I would have done,
    Anything at all,
    And all she asked for,
    Was to let her go.

    Shattered my heart,
    this request did.

    Every time I see her smile,
    I realise,
    It was worth it.

    Heart of Glass

    My failing heart
    Watching the door
    Closing behind you
    So hard to bear
    My lonely heart
    Was filled with hope
    I watch you leave
    It kills me every time
    My tired, aching heart
    Waiting, anticipating
    Counting the seconds
    Missing you always
    Heart of glass
    Fragile, defenceless, afraid
    Crystal clear for all to see
    Waiting for your return
    Just waiting….
    My joyful heart
    Bursting, Alive, Trembling
    When I see reflections of myself
    In your eyes
    And yes, It‘s then I know
    He loves me

    Heartburn

    Dizzy and blinded
    Shaken and stirred
    Slivers of ice down my spine
    At your word
    Ripples of satin
    Over my skin
    Fingers of fire
    That burn where they've been
    Trembling and awed
    Melting and sinking
    Your hands on my flesh
    They know what I'm thinking
    Waves lapping over
    Pools dark and deep
    Your love in the darkness
    It makes my heart weep

    Bringing the standard down a bit, here is

    Lament of a snow-starved southerner

    To the tune of 'Mistletoe and Wine' by Cliff Richard[+o(]
    The temps should be low
    And we should have snow
    The summer’s heat gone
    And in cold should blow
    Dreams of drifting,
    dreams of snowmen
    You wake in the morning
    Part the curtains and then….

    Christmas time<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    Mild every time<o:p></o:p>
    Watch the mercury climb and climb<o:p></o:p>
    With bees in the garden <o:p></o:p>
    And buds on the tree<o:p></o:p>
    Its time for despair<o:p></o:p>
    At the mildness we see<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    The Christmas Cards show<o:p></o:p>
    Countryside full of snow<o:p></o:p>
    Rivers frozen hard<o:p></o:p>
    Noses aglow<o:p></o:p>
    But come Christmas morning<o:p></o:p>
    And what do we see?<o:p></o:p>
    Something that’s not like<o:p></o:p>
    Our Christmas Card scene<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Christmas time<o:p></o:p>
    Mild every time<o:p></o:p>
    Watch the temperature climb and climb<o:p></o:p>
    With bees in the garden <o:p></o:p>
    And buds on the tree<o:p></o:p>
    Its time to despair <o:p></o:p>
    At the mildness we see<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Remember eighty-one?<o:p></o:p>
    My memories are none<o:p></o:p>
    Snowed early in the month<o:p></o:p>
    And at Christmas hadn’t gone<o:p></o:p>
    But a green Christmas <o:p></o:p>
    Doesn’t get me as annoyed<o:p></o:p>
    As those really awful Cliff songs<o:p></o:p>
    That you just can’t avoid<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Christmas time<o:p></o:p>
    Mild every time<o:p></o:p>
    Watch the temperature climb and climb<o:p></o:p>
    No snow in the garden<o:p></o:p>
    Or snow on the hills<o:p></o:p>
    At least we will save<o:p></o:p>
    Upon our heating bills<o:p></o:p>

    Christmas lights
    ================


    Its early in the morning
    a quarter after three
    the Christmas lights of Lonely town
    are shining just for me

    just for me

    There's garbage blowing in the wind
    a beer-can timpani
    wind whistling in the trees
    a funky melody

    The orchestra of Lonely town
    is playing just for me

    and I go dancing
    down the street
    raising a smile
    for the no-ones that I meet
    and my echoing partner
    will never miss a beat

    I'm the king of the nightlife,
    the star of Lonely street

    (break)

    I'm the onliest in Lonely town
    how blessed can I be
    The Christmas lights of Lonely town
    shining just for me

    just for me
    just for meeee...


    Christmas Lights

    Winter Grey

    Grey dawn reigns today
    Seeping through the curtain
    Silent, Slowly but surely
    Rising above the window sill
    Like the fog in my head
    Dull and heavy, bearing down
    Broken dreams fading fast
    Tired eyes streaming
    Yawning, moving so slowly
    The long dark winter
    Grey dawn, grey day
    I'm waiting for Spring
    Where grey shades turn blue
    When the sun returns
    With you..

    Snowflakes

    Lying in the winter Sun, keeps me warm throughout the day.
    But the nights are so cold and lonely, as your 3000 miles away.
    Thoughts of you lying there alone, Oh they cause my heart to break.
    But, My Love, in this cold I don't cry tears. Oh, no, I weep snowflakes.

    I picture you there in front of me, as the Sun beats on my face.
    When I'm lying there in your arms, I know there is no warmer place.
    The more I think about your touch, the more my body seems to ache.
    My Love, how I need your hugs to help melt my snowflakes.

    Bells ringing, Carol singing: gifts around the Christmas tree.
    The fairy lights, the stars at night span the miles between you and me.
    Snowflakes fall around the world, as we celebrate Christmas Eve.
    Reminding us that no matter how far apart, how close we will always be.

    Finding Courage

    Today is a day of celebration,
    of time gone by,
    of happiness and truth,
    why is it, when I stare out into the room,
    I see myself asking, who am I?

    I see the others, drifting slowly in their melancholy.
    Asking all children to join them in their games.
    I see them excited over the act of giving gifts.
    Not understanding or adhering to the truth.

    Who are you to walk on the rooftops?
    Who are you to understand the divine?
    Why do you become fixated on the time gone by,
    instead of looking to the future,
    finding what it is you wish to create for yourself.

    I have spent a day, a night,
    a lifetime staring behind me.
    Now i turn my sights ahead.
    Looking wih hope towards the future.
    Until then Adeiu.

    Reflections.......

    Brittle, frosty night-time fades
    As lazy sunrise creeps along
    Piercing wind that chills my bones
    Still coldest January lingers on

    See the pale moon in the dawn
    Riding high and fading fast
    Reflections of the rising sun
    In glass my memories are cast

    Shot of white light, silver beams
    Through winter trees bare like my soul
    Startling bright just for a moment
    Piercing blinding makes me whole

    Walls that mirror golden light
    Shot with darting, dazzling rays
    Palest grey and shimmering sky
    The brightest dawn to start my days

    Holding on to all of this
    With hands that grip as though to life
    Photographed like all my dreams
    Sharp and pointed like a knife

    Mirrored walls turn dismal grey
    Watching time slip through my fingers
    Troubled thoughts invade my mind
    As the morning slowly lingers

    The chill that settles in my bones
    So deep and dark, like winters night
    Freeze me in a single moment
    Until that precious morning light

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

    Just discovered this thread - wow - i love ot write - can't say they are always any good, but always based on an experience, or emotion of some sort.

    JUST

    Just sitting on my bed,
    Thinking of all the things you have ever said to me

    Just wondering
    My mind is full of thoughts of you
    Pictures, and words, and feelings, and sounds.

    Just Imagining
    That you might somehow be
    A little flattered by my words

    Just hoping
    That you beleive me when i say
    My feelings are so strong.

    Just praying
    That one day you will love me
    For all i am and ever want to be

    Just thinking
    About what you think of me
    And how different to you i am

    Just wishing
    For you to always be happy
    And that we stay close friends forever.

    Sparkle

    You sparkle
    With eyes divine
    Lips sublime
    Like the driving rain
    In a mountain stream
    Or the winter snow
    In sunsets glow
    And you’re mine

    You sparkle
    With so much love
    My rainbow above
    Like a diamond rare
    Catching the light
    Or a lightening strike
    On a winters’ night
    And you’re mine

    You sparkle
    With life that’s for living
    Love that’s for giving
    And free like the wind
    And the birds in the sky
    My joyful heart sings
    As though it has wings
    Because you're mine

    A Novice/Lower Intermediate

    Well who would have thought I would take up ceroc
    My friends reacted with both amusement and shock
    But I wasn’t deterred and have been going for a while
    Gained a few moves and hopefully gained a bit of style
    I try to make it to ceroc a few times every week
    Note down the moves – though it makes me feel like a geek
    Beginners class starts and I like to do my bit
    As there’s normally more women – hardly ever an even split
    Bit of freestyle after and I get to dance
    Grab a quick drink, maybe, while I have a chance
    A good intermediate class – now that’s one of the things that I seek
    Learn a new move or two and maybe even gain some technique
    If it is a good lesson then I feel the teacher I must thank
    But then we start freestyle and my mind normally goes blank
    Given time the moves gradually flow into my brain
    And I feel like I am getting somewhere again
    Neckbreak, wurlitzer, maybe a left-handed comb,
    But then the last song finishes and its time to go home
    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[IMG]http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/ /><o:p></o:p>
    <FONT face=[/IMG]Beginners class starts and I like to do my bit
    <font face=" /><o:p></o:p>
    <FONT face="Times New Roman">Then a few days to go until my next ceroc class
    <FONT face="Times New Roman">Non-jive time, how can I be expected to last?
    <FONT face="Times New Roman">Maybe talk ceroc to my friends and bore them all numb?
    <FONT face="Times New Roman">Nah, I’ll meet with some like-minded fellows on an internet forum

    For St. Valentines Day..

    Adored..

    The way you look
    The way you walk
    That secret smile
    The way you talk
    I can’t believe
    The way I feel
    I can’t believe
    That this is real
    You touch my hand
    You touch my heart
    Your eyes ‘see’ me
    When in the dark
    Your warming breath
    Upon my skin
    Wakes up my soul
    And lets you in
    So close to you
    I want to be
    Adored and loved
    For eternity..

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

    The sweetest love of all..

    A caramel kiss trickles down my throat
    Scattering sparks inside my head
    Warm and heady, sweet and sticky
    Those melting chocolate words you said
    Candy floss, marshmallow thoughts
    Like melting honey slip inside
    Drifting slowly like a lazy river
    Spinning around like a fairground ride
    Gently floating on strawberry clouds
    Vanilla sunshine strokes my eyes
    Toffee apple smiles and rainbows
    Fill my world and touch my skies
    Candy coated sugar kisses
    Trickle down, to touch my core
    Heart bursts open, popcorn popping
    Melting locks to every door
    Cherry coated lips and tongue
    Kiss the places where I crave
    Lemon drops and acid colours
    On a crashing swirling wave
    sweeter than the golden honey
    Your loving kiss by far the best
    Wild as all the dreams ive had
    My love, you do outshine the rest

    The Battlefield

    You’re in my face
    Angry, hurt, afraid
    Hating the world
    It’s hurting you
    Frustrated tears spring from your blazing eyes
    Life swollen rivers
    Spitting hurtful, angry, words
    I feel your pain
    See your fear
    Want to shield you
    Protect you
    Comfort you
    I know you don’t mean what you say
    That is why it is ok
    Know I will always love you my child
    Growing up is so hard
    Struggling to find out who you are
    It’s a battle
    A minefield
    One day those raging seas will calm
    And you too will be calmed
    Be content with who you are
    Your life and those around you
    Don’t be afraid
    Don’t worry
    I am here for you
    Always

    My Rival

    I saw her today
    My Rival
    So Young and beautiful
    ..But I felt no pain
    Just joy and acceptance
    Life goes on they say
    I smiled at their innocence
    And gave my blessing
    I watched them embrace
    And if anything, felt pride
    Letting go is hard
    Letting go of someone you love is harder
    I quietly stood and watched for a while
    Then silently left
    Taking his first steps as a man
    My son
