The Burning

The Burning By Pam i Am The blade glints in the moonlight Signaling another time to fight Lightning silver the metal flashes Into the air menacing slashes Thrust into the fire the tip of the blade Until it glows red hot the weapon is made The Burning... cleanly slicing through the skin The Burning... the sound a grotesque sizzling The Burning... the smell enough to sicken Forced to watch another scar to heal Powerless to stop evil meant to feel By Pam i Am Continue

Christmas

Silent Whispers

SILENT WHISPERS By Pam i Am A moist dew kisses her lips As blood runs down her fingertips The mist of dawn hides her pain Far away sounds of a speeding train Silent whispers Echo softly A train whistle Heard in the distance Tells her story Of nonexistence Unknown soul without history Destined to remain a woman of mystery Can’t go back she’s crossed the line An eternal rest in a box of pine Silent whispers Echo softly A train whistle Heard in the distance Tells her story Of nonexistence The… Continue

Stop all the Clocks - W H Auden

This is one of my favourite poems. I posted it onto a group once and I got booted because it was too miserable lol. OK it may not be cheerful, but, its a brilliant piece of writing. You may recall it from the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, when it was read beautifully by John Hannah at the funeral of his partner. W H Auden, was, as the character in the film was homosexual, but the poem is one that is for anyone who has lost someone. Stop all the Clocks (Funeral Blues) W. H. Auden Stop all… Continue

The Lovers

Well at last I have put pen to paper and come up with a Poem of sorts. Bit cheesy, but not bad for a first attempt even if I say so myself. So take a look and see what you think, I would appreciate any comments even if they are bad, as long as they help me improve!! The Lovers Her lips are the colour of roses pressed to her chest, Her skin is like porcelain, without blemish at its best. Her hear like a drum beating fast in her breast, Her beauty makes her stand out majestically… Continue

~ HALLOWEEN ~

By Harry Behn Tonight is the night When dead leaves fly Like witches on switches Across the sky, When elf and sprite Flit through the night On a moony sheen. Tonight is the night When leaves make a sound Like a gnome in his home Under the ground, When spooks and trolls Creep out of holes Mossy and green. Tonight is the night When pumpkins stare Through sheaves and leaves Everywhere, When ghouls and ghost And goblin host Dance round their queen. It's Halloween. Continue

The Mermaid’s Wish January 14th, 2007

Awaken now, or soon be awoke A chariot’s appeared Seahorse drawn and mermaid driven The fish popped up and peered From the sandy sea-shelves They watch her graceful dance,The princess of the lake Eager for amber sunbeams Glassy surf won’t penetrate To shine on coral kingdoms Within the pearly deep Her one wish On brittle star This fairy of the lagoon To dance among both stars and shells And sing to the man in the moon… ©Olivia USA Continue

Make Believe

"Hold your breath and close your eyes, sqeeze all the magic from inside. Step through the circle that time defies, and journey into wonderous skies. It's time to dance, its time to sing, enjoy the peace that fairies bring. See their world through eyes of wonder, and on their beauty you may ponder. Go deep within the wooded ground, 'tis there the secrets can be found. Enjoy your journey that begins right here. Close your eyes, and have no fear." By Joannda Riche Continue

The Web

Creatively You worked your art You spun a web Around my heart How beautifully Your deeds have spread Each intricately Woven thread With strands of care You dried my tears Your gentleness Dispelled my fears Your wisdom Helped me understand And patiently You held my hand To give me courage To brave the storm With kindness You have kept me warm Your passion Lit a glowing fire That filled my soul With sweet desire You're all That I was dreaming of For the web you spun Was made of love - Written and… Continue

Soulmates

"We were meant for each other in ways that you nor I could ever comprehend. We love more than words can express, We care beyond all reason. We whisper in tounges unreconginzable to some, The language of love, We are complete. We are Soulmates. Continue

Searching for Dharma

Searching for the Dharma You've traveled up ten thousand steps in search of the Dharma. So many long days in the archives, copying, copying. The gravity of the Tang and the profundity of the Sung make heavy baggage. Here! I've picked you a bunch of wildflowers. Their meaning is the same but they're much easier to carry. ~ Xu Yun ~ (Empty Cloud: The Autobiography of the Chinese Zen Master, Trans. Charles Luck, ed. by Richard Hunn) courtesy of Panhala.net & Spiritually Speaking Continue

Butt Prints In The Sand

One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there was seen, The footprints of the Goddess they were, But mine were not along the shore. But then some stranger prints appeared, and I asked Her, "What have we here? These prints are large and round and neat, But much too big to be from feet." "My child," She said in somber tones, "For miles I carried you alone. I challenged you to walk in faith, But you refused and made me wait." "You would not learn, you would not grow, The walk of fai… Continue

I Think Continually of Those by Stephen Spender

I Think Continually of Those I think continually of those who were truly great. Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history Through corridors of light where the hours are suns, Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition Was that their lips, still touched with fire, Should tell of the spirit clothed from head to foot in song. And who hoarded from the spring branches The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms. What is precious is never to forget The delight of the blood drawn fr… Continue
