ok here goes this poem has helped me for years and its all about

"attitude"

the longer i live the more i realise
the impact of attitude on life.
it is more important than than education,
than money, than circumstances,
than failures,than sucesses,
than whatever anyone might say or do.
it is more important
than apperances, than giftedness or skill.
the remakable thing is that
we have the choice to create
the attitude we have for that day.
we cannot change our past.
we cannot change the inevitable.
the only thing we can change is the
only thing we have control over,
and that is our attitude.
I'm convinced that life is
10% what actually happens to us,
and 90% how we react to it

live life and love it

so there it is kandii and every one else hope you enjoy
oh yea the live life bit i added

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away

happyb
well here is another one and its called

SUCCESS

if you think you are beaten,you are,
if you think you dare not, you dont.
if you like to win, but think you cant,
it is almost certain you wont.

if you think you'll lose your lost
for out of the world we find,
success begins with a person's will
it's all in the state of mind.

it you think you are outclassed. you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster person,
but sooner or later the person who wins
is the person who thinks they can

I used to write a bit of poetry... I'll post some when I can find it..

In the mean time though...

"Dont let my negativity get you down... its like the intro credits to a Porno movie, you have to sit through it coz there is good stuff to come..."

If you should look into my eyes
By chance you might just see
A sad, sad soul that sheds its tears
yet lets the heart go free

And in between the two of them
If you should read my mind
You'll know the soul still sheds its tears
For deeds left far behind

But if you see the Eagle there
Then dont ignore the Dove
For now that all the killings done
There's nothing left but love

he he this isnt a poem but a silly song that eskimopie and friends made up really early in the mornig i told her i was going to put it up and she said dont so here it is.

THE CUDDLE SONG

We cuddle and cuddle and cuddle and cuddle and cuddle and cuddle some more
and when we get tired we come inside and cuddle on the floor
we cuddle through winter
we cuddle through spring
we cuddle through summer time
and when winter comes and the leaves start to fall
we cuddle and cuddle some more.

LIFE

For a while there I was lost, roaming through life without a clue,
eskimopie
oops sorry here's the full poem. Written by my friend Jen and posted with her permission.


LIFE by Jen Ince. (jen bear)

For a while there I was lost, roaming through life without a clue,
Frustrated with my job, my life, not knowing what to do.
With no-one there to turn to who knew just how I felt
I started to believe this was the card that I was dealt.
I wished that life was something that we could just rehearse
go back when we make mistakes, go back verse by verse
But thats just way too easy, think how boring it would be
if we fixed mistakes and lived life in perfect harmony.
I now love the challenges life throws out, I know I swear and curse
but there's one powerful thing you need to know, it's called the universe.
The universe is a special thing, it controls the things in life
it'll give you lots of happiness, but it will give you lots of strife.
Whatever will be will be, a challenge every day
the universe is telling us in it's own special way
just roll with life, it will be hard but it's also loads of fun
We're all unique it's who we are, theres no sequel or re-run
So let us take lifes challenges and do the best that we know how
Keep positive and learn to love, the time to change is now.
=MS=
Those words are inspirational.....Thank you for putting them out there smile.gif

some guy wrote this but i dont kno his name....

my mind rambles
like flying quickly over mountain ranges.
my stomach knots
like beating dough for bread.
My hands shake
with that uncontrolable somthing
that u cannot stop or see.
you're fighting all tha elements
trying to gain control
to realy see wats really real
trying to stand ur ground.
i want 2 clear my mind,
i want 2 stop from feeling,
i want 2 stop tha things inside
That tear me piece by peice.
i cannot see 2moro
i cannot see tha ones i luv.
i cannot see brightness of now
all i see is black
i want 2 ease the rolling thoughts,
i want 2 stab tha storm,
that wells within my stomach,
i want 2 stop this heart of mine
2 set myself & those i love all free...

I wish to rub your back with my hands
slowly caressing your muscles strand by strand
I wish to run my fingers through your thick hair
easing your scalp to the place of un care
I wish you feel safe with my touch
embracing everything I offer so much
I wish to feel your breath on my skin
enlightening me with sensuality from within
I wish rainbows and water and heat combined
capturing your body soul and mind

A leathern old fireman said to me
Pay attention young fellow
And pay me heed
For I'll tell you a story
And I'll tell you true
When a building is burning
Beware that your shoes
Do not melt to your feet like glue
As theres nothing so painful as a molten shoe

He waved his arms with elaborate grace
And his eyes lost focus
As he stared into space
And related many tales of fires he had seen
Each one finished with a fire-lore point
On how not to get hurt
Or the chief dissapoint
For theres nothing so bad as an unhappy chief
Foaming at the mouth in de-brief

I've never quite been into poetry - not sure why, it just never appealed to me.. having said that though, there is one poem that I've always loved and always sends a shiver up my spine for some odd reason - I guess that's a good indication that it's my favorite poem smile.gif

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

by Robert Frost.
Ravvy
Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too...

I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin
When he smiled i realised
I'd passed it onto him!

I thought about that smile
And i realised its worth
A single smile just like mine
Could travel round the earth

So if you feel a smile begin
Dont leave it undetected
Lets start an epidemic QUICK!
And get the world infected!

me n my friend wrote these heh.. we um.. werent ourselves?

The sun is shining, the clouds are out
A watering can has a spout,
Clowns are ugly, so is poo
But they all want to dance with you
Pretty in Pink, I'm dancing in the sink
I'm going to go fly my plane
cuz the drugs have finally fried my brain


Round round, up down
clowns clowns all around
birdy birdy flying by

Lace n bek fuckin rock

They are all great poems

You Changed My Life

You've changed mylife in so many ways
If only I could show
A life and love now filled with hope, grows stronger day by day
The future is so bright now, with you love to light my way.
You've changed my life in so many ways
With the little things you've done
I ask you now to take my hand, as out walk has just begun

Queen of broken hearts

It starts with a glance from a seductress the kind that glows with immortal beauty. The night she set her eyes upon me the kind of eyes like a cat that glances into and pierces your soul. She came unto me in the night in a dream. She commanded me to follow her in to the darkness of the pale moonlight and fly with her in the netherworld of nightmares and dreams. As I lay there the Queen of broken hearts dragged my soul from me.
Deeper into the netherworld we ventured this dark maiden of beauty where could she be taking me I pondered. And suddenly the angelic aphrodite said alas my boy the journey must end and you must return to your mortal plane of suffering and woe. My queen of dreams and broken hearts I called, might I trouble you with one request? Like a thousand angles singing as one she replied what is it my child? All I ask is that you grant me this one wish that you bestow upon me a KISS!!

Monsters Wrath

I have become the beast that I fear
The creature that haunts my darkest nightmares
The clouds close in
But no matter where I am I’m alone

With you the tears fell like rain
You can hurt me but you cant possess me
My heart cold from the pain
One word lingers
REVENGE

Now I’m still here I will prevail
Because of you the monster I must unveil
I’m the killer at your door drenched in wrath
Like the reaper I hold the blade above your neck

reminds me of a few things...
LadyK
Ok- heres a couple of the 'cheerier' poems ive written- i wrote them about a year ago, its strange to see how much ive changed blink.gif - be gentle- i dont like to share poetry. These are pretty dodgy- its the really dark ones that are good.


"For A Moment"
I saw for just a moment, your little arms and legs.
The little blur they said was you, but now you've gone away.

I heard for just a moment, the beating of your heart.
The sound that held such promise, but soon it would depart.

I dreamt for just a moment, of the day I'd hold you tight.
I'd listen for your little breath, and rock you through the night.

I cried for just a moment, when they said that you had gone.
I laid alone in silence, that seemed so very long.

I prayed for just a moment, that you would be reborn.
Into my arms you would come and forever would be warm.

I was for just a moment, the mother of a child.
Who laughed and cried and meant so much, if only for a while.

In that single moment, when I finally said farewell.
I knew that we would meet again little baby, for time will only tell.



"Paint your face"
Paint your face with the color of happiness
Put your head up while your morale is low
Smile to the world that is around you
While the wanting to die, inside you grows

Silenced by the voices inside your head
Blinded by the darkness inside your soul
Weakened by the fear that lies in your heart
Feel strong the fear, depression, and torture

You've sold your soul to the devil that lurked
For an eternity of darkness you got a moment of bliss
But in the moment you least expect
The devil calls to collect

Where is your light to save you from this
Where is you sword to cut you down from the noose
Why does the gun have no safety
Just face it- you were born to lose

i agree lady k i dont realy like sharing poems


Regret

I was no good with out you
Was crazy about you
Without even a heart felt Regret
You said I meant nothing to you

Juts like a faded melody on the wind
I am dead to you a forgotten memory
So I sing a lonely song
Of a love gone wrong

The last step I will take
No one will morn at my wake
No remorse no regret
Condemned from birth

This is my fav so far
by you....
wonderful actually
Tarantula
ok these 2 are sorta like a story guess who its about lol


Fallen Phoenix

I was once like the phoenix, gliding out of the fire.
The fire that life throws at us.
Then Chinks started to form.
My wings withered and started to rust.
In the end blowing away as dust.
As my heart shattered and broke.
I fell and nose-dived towards damnation.
Then I found the warm embrace of suicide.
I ran come-hither to its beckon and call.
So as my eyes fade and the phoenix falls and dies.
I cry out one last attempt to save my soul.
Hold me I’m falling, falling so fast.
Hold me I’m dying how long will this last.
Hold me I’m growing cold oh so cold cant breath any more.
Forgotten forever never again to arise from the flame.
THE PHOENIX FLYS NEVERMORE.


The Black Widow

In love we ventured into the unknown. Hand in hand we over came obstacles great and small.
Nothing could come between us if heaven came for you I would still be chasing you such was our love.

Two hearts beating as one.
Hand in hand my love.
Fear not I will catch you.

Traitor why did you leave me hanging?
Falling cold and all alone.
My love for you was strong but you turned.
Turned on me like the tide turns a stone.

Black Widow hath me on my knees.
As I wait now I’m going to die.
But the fire burns in my heart.
It yearns for revenge.

ILL COME BACK FOR YOU WHEN IM DEAD.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
The cry of the traitor forever remains.

Those poems remind me of a fantasy novel......they are super.

you've quite a talent there hun. Keep it up as we all enjoy reading your words. So well put together and so thoughtful.

Peppa
A poem I wrote whilst in the bush... We had buddies on our camp and we each had to 'give' something to our buddies... I got given a tree stump because I'm very useful to lean on :S And I gave my buddy a poem... here it goes tongue.gif

The bush
The bush is the wildest place of all,
Without the bush Australia would be small.
With all the dingoes running everywhere,
What would life be without a little scare?
The bush has the wildest things to do,
Where would you be without your dug-out loo?
To get through the spinifex you almost have to run,
But without the spinifex there wouldn't be fun.
The heavy packs and freezing gorges,
There's no time for the 'Georges and porges' (games)
The people that you meet,
Add up for the soar feet.
And without any more delay
Please take your seats and stay
For the bush is the wildest place of all.
Tarantula
well here is another one sad.gif

Fading innocence

An innocent child gazes at the world, wonder and admiration in his eyes.
Dreaming of hope and love things one will cherish.
A song of woe we sing the innocent child is no more.
Pin me to the floor with evil intentions I scream a terrified cry I won’t struggle.
Realization sets in please let me die.
As you penetrate me with your vile acts the innocent child withers and dies.
I am forever unclean and tainted I reek of petulance and putrid flesh.
You pulled me down into darkness and trust me back to the day
You turn your back and you walk away never again
Spiraling to the ground below
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away
Waking up to your sound again
And lapse into the ways of misery

Mist

Wherever I may roam I wander alone like a spectre in the mist. Eternal soul incomplete misery at its peak. Just like the rising sun I shall return for you my love I will wait. The darkness beacons I am lost forever. Just a fading memory but my heart is thine.

This is for a dear friend that is slowly leaving us

The time is nearly up
Soon you will be leaving us
You have been through so much.
I cant stand to watch
The pain in your eyes shows us its nearly time
you sure have used up more than 9 lives.
You will be leaving us half a man
i cant stand to watch as this hurts so much
In the time that ive known you for, you became family
A grandfather figure to myself and my sister
We will miss you, but one day for sure in the future we will meet up again for coffee and cake.
Rest in peace my dear friend, forever in my heart you will be.

this one well yea

Wither

I have given my all tried my best despite all this I was forgotten by the rest.
Just a lost leaf caught in the cold winter breeze. Never knowing when this Madness will end.
I was never one to hate, never raised my fists in rage.
I was taken for granted and used because of my naive childlike nature.

Soon the child withered and died cold and bitter like one abused and alone.
The one you used, the one you abused is no more.
I’m at the edge and there is nothing you can do.
The scars never healed over now there’s nothing I can do.

Caress the blade across my vein the blood flows free.
As the door opens but the light fades I grow cold
Come lay beside me death you my only friend.
My soul withers and dies ashes to ashes dust to dust I am forever lost.
Tarantula

As i sleep i dream of things once dreamt
As i breathe i taste the sweetness of things once taken
As i bleed, i simply feel the pain once felt before

I dreamt for just a moment, of the day I'd hold you tight.
I'd listen for your little breath, and rock you through the night.

I cried for just a moment, when they said that you had gone.
I laid alone in silence, that seemed so very long.

I prayed for just a moment,that you would be reborn.
Into my arms you would come and forever would be warm.

I was for just a moment, the mother of a child.
Who laughed and cried and meant so much, if only for a while.

In that single moment,when I finally said farewell.
I knew that we would meet again little man, for time will only tell.


4 years ago today i lost my little man- it was by no means a planned pregnancy & it was one i hid from my family for 16 weeks, in fact they still dont know- it was something i dealt with alone.
i know it wasnt meant to be but you cant help feeling like your hearts being torn out whenever you think about it sad.gif to have a little person growing inside you, moving around & then suddenly theyre gone

With tears in my eyes I look at
my hearts door
The nails of heartache have kept
my heart boarded for so long

Protecting me from the fear of what
might happen if I took a chance
Protecting me from betrayal, from
being used and tossed aside

But I also realize, as nervous as I feel
chances must be taken
They must be taken if I ever plan to
have what I see other's have

I Can't help but notice couples in love
I see the magic in their eyes
I hear it in the way they whisper to
each other, the way they kiss

I see they way they hold each other
I see the way they caress
A caress so gentle, it should be a
crime to sigh that loud

But I can't ignore that every time I took
that chance, someone hurt me
Taking from me, using me, simply to
toss all that could have been theirs away

It isn't fair I shout, it isn't fair, why must
I have to struggle to meet someone nice?
I nailed the door to my heart shut, not to
keep other's out, but to keep me in

Within the darkness of my heart, I feel
safe, no one can hurt me
No one can look at the floor and see the
shattered memories, I see each day

I want 2006 to be a year of change, I
want to love and be loved
I want to trust, I want to believe that
everything I could offer is enough

I want to believe that someone is out there
just as nervous as I am
I can't be the only one left, who hides from
what they crave the most

With tears in my eyes, I pry and pull each
nail in the door out
When the last nail falls upon the floor, I
set the hammer on the table

Slowly, ever so slowly, I turn the knob as
I pull the door open, just a inch
The warmth and brightness of the sun fills
my heart, as shadows of pain retreat

There is much cleaning to do in this heart
of mine, before I can let someone in
I dare to dream of holding their hand as
we walk from room to room

Letting them see the best of qualities I have
to share with them in time
As well as letting them see the damages done
to my self-esteem, requiring their patience

They say that all good things are worth the
wait, that love is worth the risk
I know it, but it doesn't make it any easier
Oh, My God, I miss another's kiss!
firestarter
okay so these aren't mine, but when I read them I thought of someone very special to me..


If I could write
the beauty of your eyes
and number all your graces
the age to come would say
this poet lies
such heavenly touch
has ne'er touched earthly faces

w.shakespeare



Take me to you, imprison me
for I never shall be free
nor ever chased, except you, ravish me

I've written quite a few poems, heres just one for the time being.

The first one i ever wrote:



BROKEN


My heart is broken,
My eyes are closed,
I pull the trigger,
My head explodes.

As my heart,
Ceases to beat,
I think to myself,
Such a cruel defeat.

My body falls,
The blood spreads fast,
I take a breath,
It’ll be my last.

My wings grow large,
I float toward the sky,
I now know,
There was no need to die.

Though life could get hard,
That bullet should remain,
In the chamber,
From where it came.

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Build my fear on whats out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whispear things into my brain
Insurring me that im insane
No more can they keep us in
Listen damn it we will win
They see it right they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Fear of living on
Nativess getting resstles now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stands back hard
Kill it such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

Understanding Came Too Late

An unwritten letter made its way to my doorstep,
A crisp white envelope filled with pages of writing,
In sharp, black ink it said all that you’d been trying to,
And for the first time, I listened.

I learnt about your troubles,
I acknowledged your pains,
I felt your worries,
And I struggled to comprehend.

A life of hurt lived unseen,
A life of suffering lived unnoticed,
Yet this life didn’t go unfelt,
Though it went unrecognized we all felt it.

How did we ignore it, even if unintentional,
Why didn’t we simply befriend you,
All you simply needed were some friends,
But we lived, oblivious to your pleas.

You were fighting the tide of depression,
Yet, no matter what, you just drifted,
Further and further away from us,
Closer and closer to the end of the world.

And finally, your tired and weary body arrived,
Arrived at a place where departure is imminent,
You were so exhausted, so fatigued from your fighting,
You couldn’t even utter a goodbye.

I know it’s too late,
I understand that,
And I apologize for that,
I’m sorry, goodbye.

For those who know indonesian...

Aku akan mencintai terang
Karena terang menanjukkan jalan
Bakkan aka akan bertahan dikegelapan
Kerena disita kalhai bintang bintag
