Poem Of the Day

LOVE IS THE MASTER
Written by:Rumi


Love is the One who masters all things;
I am mastered totally by Love.
By my passion of love for Love
I have ground sweet as sugar.
O furious Wind, I am only a straw before you;
How could I know where I will be blown next?
Whoever claims to have made a pact with Destiny
Reveals himself a liar and a fool;
What is any of us but a straw in a storm?
How could anyone make a pact with a hurricane?
God is working everywhere his massive Resurrection;
How can we pretend to act on our own?
In the hand of Love I am like a cat in a sack;
Sometimes Love hoists me into the air,
Sometimes Love flings me into the air,
Love swings me round and round His head;
I have no peace, in this world or any other.
The lovers of God have fallen in a furious river;
They have surrendered themselves to Love's commands.
Like mill wheels they turn, day and night, day and night,
Constantly turning and turning, and crying out.

Sounds like the author is with serious unrest.

I'm going to say my poem again about love, cos I like it so much 8)

Love to me, is to be
To be, is not easy
Yet being is easy
Once there...

Take my mind off.

BAD LOVE


By love
One can find herself smitten
Like an unsuspecting camper
While sleep gets bitten
by a viper.
By love
One can find herself trippin
She wasn't lookin for this
Now her soul is rippin
She was as unaware as one shot
by a sniper.
BAD LOVE
Wasn't the subject of her search
If it was she would have confessed
In all the world,she would have rather found
Her man from among the curch
but knowing with BAD LOVE
she's been blessed
I AM King BAD a.k.a. BAD,
YOU EITHER WANNA BE ME, OR BE JUST LIKE ME

From this cocoon I emerge
Quietly and every so softly
Silently I test my wings
I am on my own
Graceful, free and beautiful
Two lives, very different
From here I can see much more

You could have revived it with one of your poems, scarlett... I've always enjoyed reading them.

4 u Azure...(if its 2 depressing let me know)


Memories of an era that ceases to exist, only in my mind
Of feeble fools
Do they live and carry meaning
Tonight I feel cautious almost uncertain to awaken the bountiful lashbacks
That I know will assault heedless of the damage that will unfurl.
Tonight, I find myself in a novelty of different emotions
That quake with the emergence of maturity
The knowledge that comes from within
The power that says it is okay to let the past go
And treasure what has been
I regret many things that went astray in my life
And though I know that to move on I have to let go
So I will write these sorrowful words
That heal from tyme and mourning and
I reel in the knowledge that I have all the
Strength that I will ever need to recover…



Emblazoned episodes waft to consciousness
as traumatic encounters simmer and stir, to settle back down
nonchalant attitudes acquire meaning as dire straits
becomes uncontrollable obsession, wittingly scores are settled
and hidden innuendoes have stories to tell, while few countenances
brave the sacred timbers of living in an absconded hell
few and far between they arrive to greet old family and friends.. subduing
mere pranks that were played in the day, have rendered better meaning
as the years separate. Lessons learned and injuries forgotten, hardship earned is wisdom scholared. We sought out redemption in the light of glory we searched for answers that we thought only the chosen could tell
when in our hidden minds we knew all the plots, plans and reasons
that in mortality only tyme could dispel

hummm...a dab more i THINK!!

Silence is the beast that shadows the night,
heeding no direction, finding no insight
guiding forever to an unfathomable dark
marring no stones disturbing nothing in sight
Inconclusive dramas play out
mischievous tasks deliberate and intertwine
binding captive audiences together 4 all tyme.
Scarlet,
Silken aromatic sheets cover me
clinging wantonly upon the rise of my breasts
tightly across the place that God molded
golden chalice placed in my hand
feather brocade covers my face
Macomb tactics evade tangible intimacies
As your face is gently erased.


Thank you, Scarlett... the first part, the part I put in bold... rings very true for me at this point in my life, in fact, it is almost as though you were in my head...

Have you ever thought of putting a book of poetry together, or have you already?

u are very welcome.

I have to volumes that have made it as far as the copyright office. One day perhaps I'll publish them.

But until then i give them away free, as i have lived all the lines i share with you at one tyme or another.

if u are feeling that first literally i'll share these other two so U know how the ropes go...

Woman
Illusive cantankerous riveting semblance of infinity
Walks into my life and screeches to a halt on it’s way out the door
A fleeting second it lingers with back turned
To let me envision what thereafter will never be again
A drought of want hits me like a wave crashing on a shore
Distance lapses against the walls of my heart
And I realize that it is alright
I can’t shun the way I feel anymore
So as it goes with all things
Dawning realization covets sacred wombs
In my being and fills the pits that have been hard
To deceive
I experience devastation complete
With practical behavior that awakens my desire
To keep it going to live for the love I have never known
To reach out my hand to let it carry me home
I feel excitement rush through my veins
Exhilaration explodes in my soul
And love opens its arms
Allowing me to settle inside
Letting the ebb of piece reside
In my life for the minutes that tick off
And it feels so refreshing that I no longer
Have the need to hide the secrets of who I am
And what I have become growing from mere child
To delectable woman …


Strength
Strength carries courage in convictions
denies hopeless advances
appraises rare occasions
and, false acquisitions
strength is the pride that we have in ourselves
the belief that we are above all else
that we prevail in the face of fear
not backing down be you wrong or right
but standing tall in your decision
there are tymes that you will stand alone
strength is the personal antidote, I use
it creates this enigma
a pathway into the unknown
strength is what carries me, when I have nothing left
it coaxes me to sleep at night
and raises me to undertake another day
dispels pollution that forever blows my way
strength keeps me focused on the chore at hand
be it things I like
or things i’d rather leave undone
strength helps me cope with the traumas in life
and it follows me when things go right
strength a never-ending energy
a burst from heaven
that seeks and wraps me in its wings
to allow me the pleasure
of finding my way home


I hope this helps
If u need anything I am an Orgnote away..

I am working on finding the latter within myself. It's coming... slowly but surely...

It is nice to know that one day you may publish your work. Your words would be felt by many... you are very gifted.

Thank you, Scarlett...

(this almost brings me back to the days of the old org... reading your poetry was one of my favorite things on there)

and now you now
its time to go

my foolish heart swings
too and fro

tis all my doing
i know, i know

for we all sow
the seeds we grow

such joy such joy
on me u gave

and freed my heart
(that lonely slave)

as i do wisper
behave behave

so many days
since i have shaved

in reality now
there is a tare

and in love they say
alls fair alls fair

but i can see
no warmth so fair

as flaxen photos
of your hair

so all goes on
now dont despair

please have no care
and have my chair

no words for deeds
of foolish wrought

one heart of pain
that i have brought

in silence now i dont defend
my actions they will never mend

a last goodbye
to u i send

no matter all
i call u friend

I will be your angel



I see the tears in your eyes

and I know how much you hurt inside.

It's like I can feel your pain,

as it strikes my soul over and over again.

I know your heart is aching,

but deep inside it's me that is breaking.

I just wish I could take your suffering away

and lift your spirits up and give you hope for a brighter day.

Secretly...
I will be...
your angel.

I will be the one to wipe the tears from your eyes.

Eventually...
You will see...
your angel.

I can give you hope and strength
during the hard times in your life.

Sometimes you feel you can't survive.

You want to give up and quit this pain-filled life.

You may be fighting many battles

and you don't know what your life is heading towards...

But at the end of the struggle...
There are always great rewards.

Secretly...
I will be...
your angel.

And I will guide you through those hard times.

Eventually...
You will see...
your angel.

When you look inside your heart...

and it's me...

Your friend who will help you, too...

the one to hold your hand...
Your angel.

I understand



so...you kissed someone else today
your lips parted and you let your tongue probe the land of naughty

he said you were beautiful, sexy, enigmatic
he wanted to stop but how could he resist such a work of art
he's really a nice guy
but your essence overpowers him
that's why he said... can i stick it in

you felt flattered
this poor man
what chance did he have of resisting your plethora of sensuality
your abundance of womanly charm
your heat

best fuck him
yes...it's for the best
put the poor sod out of his misery
you owe him at least that much
it's not his fault that you're completely irresistable

i know you love me
and if i look at it from the right angle
it's not really even being unfaithful
you're just a kind hearted soul who cannot disappoint

so you fucked him
it's ok my love
i understand

SEX

Red luscious lips,

meaningful quips.

A lustful stare,

a heavenly pair.

Stockinged thighs,

"take me" eyes.

Hand on the knee,

breathe rapidly.

Legs begin to part,

a quickening heart.

A petalled rose,

falling clothes.

Starts to loose,

the emotional juice.

Going mad,

want it bad.

Grinding loins,

pumping groins.

Very hot,

hits the spot.

Scream aloud,

muscles proud.

A soulful moan,

the seed is sown.

Passions met,

cooling sweat.

Slowing 'beat,

tangled feet.

Warm and cosy,

feeling dozy.

Out of steam,

a sweet dream.
