    here is a poem i wrote a while ago it's not that good but i want to know what you think...it's called Give yourself to the night

    Give yourself to the night

    Give yourself to the night
    Let go
    Slip away from your false modesty
    Be real
    Be strong
    Show your true identity
    Don’t let the illusion fool you
    Create your own masterpiece
    Be the artistic lover
    And decorate the sky…

    My gypsy blood has taken me
    Drifting earnestly down life’s byways
    I’ve followed sunsets and chased rainbows
    In vain
    Still I keep searching for
    Those cherished treasures
    Not of silver, nor of gold
    But answers
    To the many questions on my mind…

    beautiful.
    I especially like this:

    "My gypsy blood has take me
    Drifting earnestly down life's byways"

    yes i do know what it means i'm part irish my dad is irish and i lived in ireland from 2-6years old it means Our Day Will Come.

    and thanks

    some days

    some days pass like weeks
    under rainy skies
    fears and insecurities creep up
    like writhing, crawling snakes
    hidden in the tall grass
    on those days
    I am impersonated by self pity…
    When the winds were so subtly whispering
    From upon high
    Did the people of the valleys
    Hear, that which was spoken?, and
    If they heard
    Was all understood?
    I sit alone but never lonely
    By the side of the great mountain
    Reaping mother nature’s vast knowledge

    It's the Irish republican movements modus modus operandi as it were. Didn't think anyone outside Ireland new what it meant apart from maybe the Scots.

    not many people do

    i have yet another poem

    (Untitled)
    My wondering days are over
    It’s time I settled down
    Although I have to live in the city
    In my head I’m still small town

    You held my hand when I feel down
    And you keep me a warm place by your side
    You make me smile and laugh a lot
    When I need a place to hide

    I can get by on the money I make
    I can get by with the friends I have
    Even when push comes to shove

    You walk with me on rainy streets
    You just listen to all my jive
    You help me stand up when I fall
    You make me feel alive

    Just last week I was thinking about how
    Things aren’t like they used to be
    Never in my sad sorry life
    Have I felt so free

    I can get by on the money I make
    I can get by with the friends I have
    Even when push comes to shove
    -megg

    i don't think it's that good but what do you think?

    'Give yourself to the night' was fantastic!

    This was my very favorite stanza of your latest:

    'You held my hand when I feel down
    And you keep me a warm place by your side
    You make me smile and laugh a lot
    When I need a place to hide'

    I really like how this feels, so simple and strong. :)

    i have a new one not that good but here it goes hope you like it
    THE SEA

    My restless soul will not be still
    Until I am set free

    A voice calls out within my mind
    Come, go to the sea

    Many find it a lonely place
    I find it as home

    Quite a befitting spot to dream
    And let my spirits roam

    I’ve witnessed waves confronting rocks
    Only to retreat

    I’ve heard of men who sailed away
    Into your history

    Maybe one day I too will sail
    Into your mystery

    i wrote another one the other day here it is...


    The lost poet

    You look inside my eyes
    Only to find the

    Shattered mirrors
    Broken dreams
    So it seams
    good is a bad
    Like god and the devil
    We are on the same level

    Flesh and bones dissolved away
    Before the end of day
    I’ll do it my way

    threw the door on the top floor
    that lead me where the sun is shining
    the grass is green sky is blue
    its it the one in my dreams that will never come true
    an I floating away burning out in crazy town
    or is it the glue?


    There’s a man who tries
    Behind my dying eyes
    But the lights are red in my head
    The downtown punks are beating hicks
    It makes me sick
    I sit alone but never lonely
    While i Sink into the circles of uncertainty
    Until you find the fire-fly souls
    With the Cricket orchestras

    But Too many Thoughts above my head
    They say you want me dead
    The walls unfold
    The shadows reveal that
    Your heart is as cold as the winters snow
    Your lungs are as black as the night sky
    Your veins run dry and full of hate

    Then we find the one thing that’s true
    The heart and soul of the shadow man
    lost poet

    A SEASON OF CHANGE

    You were confined to the temple
    Where the sad clowns rest
    Chained an abused
    For the vision you possess
    You’re an exiled amusement
    Too green to be gray
    Your life force is fading
    You accept all they say

    And darkness surrounds you
    Absorbs and abounds you
    Turning you frigid and numb
    For the lost and the strange
    There is a season of change
    So return to the space you come from

    Should I burn down the asylum
    Free those who know
    That they need no isolation
    To regain self control
    Should I forget we were friends
    Turn my back and walk away
    Or reach out to help you
    Would you meet me half way

    And hunger lives within you
    It breeds and it moves you
    Twisting your soul to a rage
    For the lost and the strange
    There is a season of change
    So return to your pen and your page
