    Candle Bright

     

    Candle bright, a soulful light

    I saw you in a poem

    Quoting verse of slow rebirth

    You caught me in that storm...

    A soft spring night, what filled my mind?

    A siren's song for sure...

    You burned so bright, that wonderous night

    how welcome- your lovely form...

    We touched with a kiss, what had been missed

    Too long had we waited for joy...

    But fate made me choke and then i awoke

    to curse the cruelness of time...

  2. Nov 17, 2001 ...written in a mad dash for signe, when sending her a x-mas card... but ended up sending it to everyone i knew.

     

     

    Christmastime,

     

    Another day, as it is known

    Takes time to sparkle all it’s own

    And lonely ones shed tears no more

    As loved one’s knock upon your door.

     

    When calls are made, old friends remember

    They’re not forgotten in cold December

    In a rush, no time for thought

    Hearts are warmed, kind words are bought

     

    Sent many miles, with gifts that say

    I remembered you, will you remember me?

     

    As smiles turn inward one can reflect

    It’s Christmastime, do not forget

    To wish all well that you hold dear

    And fill them all with you good cheer…

    Echo… (orignal)

     

    City of lights…

    A quiet night…

    Searching for an echo…

    In the city of lights,

    I’ll spend my nights,

    To wonder, ‘round this ring

     

    Softly through the thinning air,

    I’ll send to you this charming dare…

    Choking tears to hold you near…

    Wonder if it’s really fare?

     

    City of lights

    A lonely night

    Searching for my echo

    In this city of sights-

    To fight back fright, to find you in that ping…

    Maybe I fear, that you won’t hear

    Maybe my signal rings too clear

    Tell me, I sent it far too strong

    Tell me, I waited far too long

    City of lights,

    But not tonight

    Softly fades my echo…

     

    Echo… Variation 1

     

    City of lights…

    A quiet night…

    Softly fades an echo…

    In the city of lights,

    Why spend the nights,

    To wonder, ‘round this ring

     

    City of lights

    A lonely night

    Softly fades an echo

    In this city of sights-

    It’s passion’s right to bond them in its ring

     

    In the smallest shedding of one’s tears

    The other will hear

    A hint of a longing

    A hint of a dare…

    City of lights,

    But not tonight

    Softly fades an echo…

     

    Other variation's lost.

    Neglect

     

    a sudden chill

    a moment's thrill

    lips part as quick as they met

    she was long expecting

    what he'd been neglecting

    a fool - only he would forget

  5. Well, if y'all haven't noticed, i sort of archiving my past works here. I lost partically everything i wrote in highschool, so i don't want that to happen again...

     

    Written in the summer of 2000.

     

    Stay awake.(original)

     

    1. Stay awake

    2. And do not dream

    3. Stay awake

    4. And learn the beam

    5. Another time…

    6. Another place…

    7. You can dream, of her face

    8. ‘Til then, you’re needed here

    9. To learn about the faded flows

    10. Another time…

    11. Another place…

    12. Just stay awake

    13. Stay awake…

     

    Variation 1

     

    Stay awake

    And do not dream

    Stay awake

    She’s everything

    Another time…

    Another place…

    You can dream, of her face

    Until that time, you’re needed here

    Until that time, you’re wanted near

     

    Stay awake

    You must not dream

    Focus on, the lonely screen

    Struggle now

    With lessons learned

    Struggle now

    To discern

    Touch of hazel, or hint of green

    Just stay awake

    And do not dream

  6. Lyrics for a song that exist only in my head orginally written May 26, 2001 for project aristole...

     

    Holes…

     

    Make me a picture to cover the hole.

    Patch up the wall, can you mend what you break.

    The tape and spackle are in the garage.. waiting for you.

    To patch up wall, father patch up the wall.

     

    Another nite of hell.

    Another time of fear.

     

    Morning again. What happenend here?

    A few plates broken -that's okay.

    i'm sure we can fix it, this time again

     

    More holes in the wall, broken glass in the yard,

    A few tables broken-- have you seen the dog?

    Don’t worry sir, we can pick up the trash

    And live by your promise that this was the last… time again..

     

    So, patch up the wall, Can you mend what you break?

    Patch up the wall, can you cover your mistakes…?

     

    Hide it behind a picture frame,

    Why bother with spackle, we won’t complain

    So you patched up the wall,

    But can you patch me up too…

    Those Holes that you started are killing me too…

     

    Brother left home the other day, don’t know when he’ll return..

    Don’t know if you even care… don’t care if you even try…

    Why are you so angry… all of the time…

     

    Another question if you don’t mind, I’m sorry I'm wasting all your time…

    But, why did you have to put you fist through the wall…

    I sure it deserved it, and it’s not your fault

    And did that stud hurt when you couldn’t break through?

    I’m sure you shut it up good, and you shut me up too…

    Whatever did the poor thing do to you?

     

    So patch the wall Father, Patch up the wall…

    Patch up the wall… but can you patch me up too?

  7. i like this one... I always find it fun when we start to write something one way... then other things just start bubbling up demanding to be recognized...

     

    Oh and of course, most of us are aware, though rarely admit it, how much a loved one's few words of phrase, indifference, or disdain can affect us so...

  8. As developed in the Draft room...

     

    pub57.ezboard.com/bthedraftroom

     

     

    Late December.

     

    Passing the time, with wondering mind

    Wrapped in darkness shivering

    Rhythms play in my head

     

    Walking in this rainy night…

    Clearest in the numbing cold,

    I feel safe.

     

    Worlds from my past

    Flow chaotic, on a tune…

    Quietly hummed, the process resumes:

     

     

    So steal a beat, add repeat

    Meld a theme, to think in stream...

    Remind your mind to lose some time

    And coat yourself in nature's rhyme

     

    To selfishly star in your self-styled stories,

    And dwell in past with love you’d forgotten

    Open the wounds that once you did cover

    Open them up, to help you recover

     

    So kindle the fire to slight you regrets...

    Make silly the story, half-hidden, you fret

    You’re always so lovely, though rarely so kind

    It’s not what you bury, but what’s in your mind

     

    Pain's a jester, So sweet is her nectar

    In darkness, lovers did sigh

    But when you remember, that cold cold December

    In darkness, lovers will cry

     

     

    So spin, spun a song for myself,

    Selfishly crying then laughing

    It's too bad I feel nothing.

    I feel nothing at all.

     

    Tired the numbness, though it must love us

    Anything’s better, than nothing at all

    Standing numb to shiver

    Would be better to quiver

    Isn't this silly, makes no sense at all

     

    Let the cold rain of night, freeze my heart warm.

    And muffle my mind, to let loose the storm

    And chain it to rhythm, to set ups the streams

    To quiet the demons, and silence the screams:

     

    Of Rage and of Worry,

    Of Fear and Regret

    The Tragic, the Bitten

    The Burned and the Set

     

    Upon which I list and I wax in my rage…

    Let the cold rain of night-

    Make me shudder contained

    To mirror my shiver and cover the pain.

     

    And if all was made clever, and all was made terse

    Then roll back the black torrent in a spate of rhymed verse

    If your rhythm’s not platinum, but you flow just the same

    Search more then the phrases; sung true they will tame…

     

    As I keep walking, words of rhyme fill mind

    For a time, I find peace--an emotional release

     

    But sweeter’s the feeling

    Where void stood before…

    It only seems tragic if too often ignored…

     

    The reasons for meanings

    The fear before rage

    The hum before singing

    The feelings left saved

     

    Catching chaos now fleeing

    At the door we must part…

    It’s was only me walking, to unbury my heart…

    The DreamLost

     

    In the chill of a warm day

    A song sings much clearer

    In the shudder of a lone ray

    The mind finds much dearer

    With the expanding loss of touch

    The senses glimpse another

    Sharp intakes blur, no fell, the borders

    While sudden insights burst forth the corners

    In the far off world of memory

    He ponders broken reverie

    Lost shadows: reborn to enlighten

    Fleeting wisps: grasped-only forgotten

    All this-from an impromptu ray

    In the chill of a warm day

    balance it on a paper cup...

    turn it right, no turn it round

    woodgrain desk, makes up the ground...

     

    dry erase, now add the chain

    pen tops make a worthy brain...

    add a joint, to angle off- the

    imitation fossil watch

     

    stacked upon your cloudy dreams

    looking up- your creature beams...

    hi-lighter arms and wired frames

    pen tops make a worthy brain?

     

    think so?

    NO!

    oh...

     

    so, break it up and build it down...

    must remember not to frown

    turn it right, no turn it 'round...

    wooden desk, a shaky ground...

     

    stretch him out between the poles,

    shaking hands, a problem posed...

    blue/black ink pen?

    that's his nose...

    what the clips then?

    those are toes...

    i've called you over and over again...

    but you won't tell that too my friend...

     

    i left you my name, and i left you my number

    how many times will it take to dis-cover...

    so maybe i just don't understand

    how so many words can miss a friend...

     

    to turn to me a deafened ear...

    and make my friend think i don't care...

    a messenge machine is a cold cruel thing

    the blinking eye'd one doesn't like my ring

     

    turn yourself off, so i can see

    if she'll pick up the phone and talk to me

    and this will end my agony

  11. Disposition of war

     

    Quite possible the first thing i ever wrote for the that online game of archmage... When looking for an alliance, lady Aeralain asked me my disposition of war... This was my responce.

     

    Aug 17, 1999

     

    You notice a somewhat thoughtful expression forming on your brow as you ponder over the tiresome tasks of renewing your once fair country. The frenzy of Armageddon had not so much as blinked at the destruction to your kingdom. Just as well as Armageddon was just a lethal to your rivals as it was to you. With so much to be done, you resolve to enlist more of your attention to the welfare of your now fledging nation. But as repetitive and medial tasks often do, you find your self more and more engaged in thoughts of distraction. A sudden chill breeze blows across you causing you to shudder. Spying the cause you lean over to shut the offending window. In doing a single ray of light is allowed to pass a small opening in the curtains created by the nudging of an absentminded arm. Again you shudder as the chill of the warm day makes circles of tenseness across your body. Now thoroughly distracted from your tasks you muse in quiet reverie all manners of flippant yet soothing thought. As if on cue a quiet knock from outside your chamber wakes you from your daydream. After acknowledging the source you find it to be a small child bearing scroll with red wax. Ah yes now you remember the alliance. Bidding the child to speak the message begins:

     

    My lady Aeralain,

     

    As of yet my kingdom in its renewed infancy has broached no other noble mage in war. Being of less than five hundred turns in this world I have set aside the bulk of my power to research. You will find me not to be an overly aggressive mage who knows when and when not to show the fury of the dreamlost. As for future reinforcements and my nature of war fare, you may be intrigue to know that I have had in my service hordes of mindflayers, archangels, treants, and liches as equally distributed as possible with some small reliance on the elements, wraiths, and or archers and cavalry. It makes for an expensive yet effective way of holding off multiple attacks. Alas I can not give the exacting figures fore I have be far too long gone from terra and I fear my methods my have becomes somewhat less effective, and likewise adjustments shall surely be needed. If we are to ally, all my resources, provided the cause is just, shall be offered to your service. I hope my small request has sparked some interest. With that I bid you good fortune and leave you to consider.

    "Behold the dream cometh!"

  12. Medical Tape

     

    Originally posted on B1 banquet hall circa 1999...

    (somewhat edited)

     

    never under estimate the many uses of a good roll of medical tape. oh some may swear by duct tape or electrical or god help us scotch tap, but none have the multi-funtionability and adaptability of a good OLE roll of medical tape. Just think of the possibilities, they're endless. Need to stop a leak on a fuel injector, slap some medical tape on it.

     

    Running out of stickers to label you diskettes, throw some medical tape on it. got a cut: medical tape it. Just had an arm blow off and don't have the heart to cauterize it: lots of medical tape. run out of white-out to forge you doctors notes via a copying machine. Aided by good old American know-how, yes-medical tape can help.

     

    But wait there's more. its water resistant, user friendly, comes off in easy to tear strips, is customizable. Our inventor had the foresight to create it in a happy and neutral color of white(standard) it’s become what you make it. you can write on it, draw on it, color it, and create all manners of mummy constructions. I swear by it and you will too. And it can be all yours absolutely free. (well excluding a petty theft, or fraud charge here and there) Take a hammer or readily accessible blunt object, then choose any convenient appendage or other misc. body part and proceed to masochist heaven. Then walk into to any local emergency room and they will practically give it away. *note due to current budget cut backs you may be limited to one roll* No fear, this is easily solve by conducting a thorough inspection of all suspicious looking cabinets and drawers.

     

    Don't have the stomach for such a display of self-destruction. Not to fear these tactic work just as well on your friends (assuming you have friends) as they do on you. These tactics also has the added advantage of allowing your friends to become distractions sort of speak, to all those who would seek to stop you from acquiring said tape.

    A. Translation requests or assistance arena to unclutter the french forum...

     

    B. Structure... either more or less

    1. Concerns on structure superseding writing itself.

    2. effects of feedback

    a)structure: neat, buearacacy, chore, or more concise advice given

    B ) unstructured: fun, chaos, clutter, easy

    C. Ranks: refined? defined? abolished...

    1 ) Rank = Status

    A ) Status from raise above or fall below standards...

    1 ) Standards vary... ick...

    2 )set standards....

    a )time?, quality?, empathy? selflessness? skill?

    b )vote

     

    D. Critiques and Criticisms... more or less?

    1 ) Encourages

    a ) shine light... shy open up?

    B ) workshop type stuff... grow

    2 ) Discourages...

    a ) tears in eyes, run hide under rock writes master work discovered in 2088 neo-emily dickenson.

    B ) anger... which can lead to grudges...

    1 )bad for community

    2 )decent catalyst though often misguided...

    she walks in air

    and she tells of her story

    we wonder the who and the why...

     

    we watch on as signe beams

    as bright the morning

    turning about in the sky...

     

    clouds look in wonder as she sails above them

    how can this small thing, fly so far and wide?

    riding on currents, she never will touch down

    gushing and grinnng, so full of her guy...

     

    lucky's the word that we could call her lover...

    but lucks not the one... that makes our signe smile...

    fate, love, and joy just decided, she was fun

    -to set her up soaring so high in the sky...

     

    and no she can't help it...

    we're blinded and binded

    dreaming who's beaming, we finally know why...

    Seldom: Orignal

     

    Seldom known and Seldom seen

    are the thoughts within our dreams-

    When we killed all time that day, i thought i saw-

    i saw you say--

     

    A broken path lies overgrown, swallowed up- he left alone...

    Whatever's lost, it pines no more...

    I see a face, i see a door

     

    Think could i-cheer would i try...

    finished gifts, found time, in time...

    But not enough, it sad to say... a dear to cheer

    too much away...

    Twilight wishes or Signe's Theme.

     

     

    Twilight

    New beginning

    Eyes bright

    Always wishing

    First love

    Wanted wishing

    Tonight

    Starlight

     

    Twilight

    New beginning

    First light

    Faint but twinkling

    Eyes bright

    Full and daring

    Of love

    First love

     

    Quiet Night

    Hope for certain

    White Knight

    Find one beaming

    Starlight

    Only wanting

    Tonight

    Wish light

     

    Tragic night

    False hope waning

    Slighted sight

    Small eyes erring

    Morning's light

    No true beaming

    For love

    No love

     

    Star light

    Reflected only

    White knight

    Burns so brightly

    At night

    -a nice illusion

    False light

    Star bright

     

    Twilight

    New beginning

    Eyes bright

    Always wishing

    For love

    Wanted wishing

    Fade from sight

    -My Satellite.

     

     

     

    ------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Satellite Star

     

    When you’re wishing on a satellite star

    Hope can only take you so far

    Bring me your dreams and we'll see what they mean

    When you’re wishing on a satellite star

     

    Who’s sitting alone on a cloudless night

    Under the stars, with their hearts held tight

    Wish me a dream-

    To shine or to beam

    When you’re wishing on a satellite star

     

    Why shed the light of day on me?

    To suffer what you would not see

    Visions and dreams, never quite what they seem

    When you’re wishing on a satellite star

     

    So we shed the cover, even if you will not stay

    And then find another lover

    -hope the dream won't stray.

    Or forgot for today-

    And at night shall we play

    When you’re wishing on a satellite star.

    "Air" was improvised from watching signes reaction one day in irc.

     

    "Seldom", was along the same lines but the reverse situation

     

    "Sat Star " more a song than poem was the final out come of the brain storimg on her motto

     

    "twilight" another song was a splitter poem off "Sat Star" that took over creative control of my brain while working "sat star"

     

     

     

    well, that was fun...

    just thought i'd back them up here, just in case...'

  15. here's one of my older ones...

     

     

    Summer colds

     

    it started at the edges...

    the warm humming in your ears

    a slight sniffing of the nose

    with soft eyelid tuggings, forcing them to close

    so take a magic drop

    and make it go away

    fore little summer colds

    cannot stop the day...

  16. **quietly appauds ** very true for some... A painful dagger , isn't it... Bittersweet with the bite of an addition... to put it bluntly the condition 'sux' and you capture it pretty well in your poem... Then you go on to, show a way to fight it, by agrresivily reversing your emotions... I always think of louie armstrongs exuberant stage presence in responce to his terrifying stage fright as an example of this...

     

    But it's a hard effort to maintain, when the sadness underneath saps your energy daily...

     

    i simpathsize... cheer up friend... if it hasn't already past, then i suggest putting you energies into others... Find them... The simplist and best advice i ever heard was from a korean boy that struggling with english, said to me, "to get a friend, be a friend"

     

    And i've found it to be true for the most part...

    hmmm, it would see the by definition #5 that the traits listed as songwriter, poet, and story writer would qualify provided they had merit... I'd say they do...sooo, i think gry was correct in his thoughts... okay that was fun...

    the dream continues...

  18. thanx canid and gry... oh don't worry gyr. the headaches gone.

     

     

    Um cause of my job i've moved 5 times in the last five years, so i usually end up leaving a lot of 'stuff behind. I guess it helps to try to be optimistic... Change is good i suppose, though exhausting...

     

     

    take care all,

  19. hiya,

     

    I know i'm alittle late on this.... but i like what you wrote. I'm not the best with complementing of the use of style, imagiary, or setting with depth and meaning of thought... But i just like to say, that i like it, and it reads like a passage from a right out of a published work...

     

    that's all...

  20. Hi... gyrfalcon suggested i expand my five minute improve poem... So i tried, but now i got a blinding headache from the effort(am sick), so this is as far as i got...

    Traveling this time again,

    Always going where, you have not been

    It's always sad to leave a friend

    Not always glad to begin again...

     

    But leaving her or him or them...

    Doesn't break the friendship in-

    -to scattered remnants of a dream

    Where laughter left and all seem'd mean

     

    Fore time need not, be stopped

    Nor revived

    To a place where friendship thrived.

    If you leave behind, so be it then

    Now go forward now, and make amends...

     

    For now you have a choice to choose

    To live with the past, with ghosts you use

    Or to smile upon, the gleam of dawn

    That lights the way, you trek upon...

     

    -------------------------------------------

     

     

    Okay, that was fun...

    take care all,
