Have fun and stay sober(not =P) L8ers! Love Always, *~Kristen~* {{ThE aNgEl StAnDiNg By}} *~False Smile~* They would all say I'm lost In a hurricane of empty dreams If they knew How my soul still pulsates With cravings for You. That's why I pretend like I don't care, And why I won't reveal That at the mention of 'her' name, My "I wish you both well" smile Has a jealous sneer. So, I'll agree with everyone-- You two were "meant to be", And I'll instantly forget When that was You and Me. So, yep, I'm over You! Have been for a while... I hope no one Looks through me, And notices My fake smile. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Jul 1998 16:56:05 +0200 From: "Dr. RomeAntic" Subject: ET: greeting/aplauding/poem Hello angels! I'm back after another week of absence... I see I missed some things, but I wasn't really needed or anything, cause I see everybody still takes good care of each other! So it looks like Sam is all better again and I guess weather she knows it or not she helped herself by helping an angel in need - Holly for whom I can only hope she takes everything said on that subject to heart cause it is so true. On the poetry area, this time I have to applaud these people: "Karagarbe" for "The Chameleon" which, as I got it, intensely sketches a girl who has fallen for somebody more in expectation of finding what she is longing for than for finding those things and making a terrible mistake... and now she is battling her own realization of that mistake by stretching herself over the limit in hope of bringing out what there isn't to be found. What I like the most is the atmosphere (that intensity that speeds one's heart up a beat or two) that author brings with words that dictate a rhythm... into a story that happened too many times. "Sam" for "Gentle Angel" which I think is probably the most beautiful poem ever posted to this list. She dropped the rhyme and succeeded in doing a big step forward... this is a special talent that can grow... and she lets it grow... it will be hard to repeat this, but throughout these 80 digest or so... she has improved so much... now presenting us an angelic poem about an "angel" we all are looking for in our life... some have found it and know that it is a life's goal to feel that "angel" as an inspiration to live each day, as the one who gives you everything with their being and in return finding the best there is in you... and thus committing the most special relationship we can even dream of. No more words need to be wasted for it's all in the poem. "Naomi" for "You Remain" (and others)... on which I decided after some thought... cause "Turn Away" is great as well but I had to only pick one. In a way this is just another in series of author's dark painful poems... but this one hits the eye with a spark of light in her life that remains. Sometimes no matter what happens to us we are blessed with somebody or something that will see us through, be there beside us or inside of us... if we have found that insurance... we will also (try to) be something that remains... that "only sure thing I have unwavering". Maybe each person can be that for themselves.... "Ben" for "Success (an Ode to the Pretty girl at the other end of the car)" which I think represents something we all have experienced at least once in our lives... but this author especially brings out the beauty of such experience... no matter how your soul get haunted by that person's image... when you think about it, probably the most intriguing thing about it all is that that was all that happened or as said in the poem "How lovely it is To never have touched you". No matter how words are beautiful picked, vivid that paint the object and the tension... closure is what makes this special. I bow to thee! OK... that's it... please have in mind that those above are just my thoughts... and if I didn't insult anybody or hurt anybody's feelings... like because I didn't say anything about their poem(s)... and most important of all - if you tell me that it made sense... maybe I'll do this again... like next weekend. :) Please remember that I enjoy everyone's poetry... but I only decided to write a couple of lines for those I FIND IN MYSELF to be special in a way... that certainly doesn't mean I didn't enjoy or like the others like "Kristen"'s "Silent Heart" or "Bea"'s "Untitled" etc... I did... but I didn't find/get/feel the meaning/message like in the above mentioned... maybe someone else did and can send their thoughts... To wrap things up... here's one of mine... 04:15 10.6.1998 MISSION I ran and I ran Stopped and walked Then You ran through me And You stopped Just as I walked into The thorny bushes Ripped off my clothes Peeled off my skin Scratched my bones to dust Tired I got out A fragrance caught (momentarily) Now I'm naked in front of You I would kneel if I had a knee I would hail if I had a voice I'm merely wind This cold, mild, soft air You have no use for My body that I was trapped in Full of hollow storage rooms That should tastefully be filled by fairies and goddesses You withdrew from my grasp range Was a distraction for my mission To boldly discover sorrow and vanish inside my hallways So I could only blow myself to a point Where I would quiet down To whisper I will get lost in a hurricane twister and hot summer breeze I will be annulled Anti-matter of the wounds and tears Will work I just have to discover a smile I've failed You I think I've never been prouder than I am now For We realize Your imperfection Caused harm to both parties involved I lost a lifetime You a carefully designed species Everything needs (to) respect Help... intertwine... - -- Have fun and stay beautiful Dr. RomeAntic, an angel with the worst stroke of luck "Wayne - wait for me and take me up in your hot-air balloon and feed me cotton candy Wayne - pray for me 'cause i'll be there in a couple of years until then, wait for me" Chantal Kreviazuk/Wayne/Under These Rocks And Stones Catch Dr. RomeAntic's cyber image @ http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 13:08:46 EDT From: LOVE1618@aol.com Subject: ET: poetry list! :o) hello all you poets!
