I stare through my window.. rain in the garden.. a poppy flower blooming... the seeds were given by a tender hand.. a red and yellow glow against the wall.. my mind wonders..if colours do fade..into the rain?? I feed my cats..they know their master... does the hand that gave the poppy seeds?? knows..the flow of love... going through my veins?? does she feel the pain??I feel today?? a tear on a pillow...a whisper in the night.. is a glow of sunshine?? shining into my mind?? will it bring me back.. to where we both belong?? or was it??just a glow?? in a room once so bright of joy and happiness?? no..dear friend..the ray of sunshine.. broke the dawn...and we turned.. towards each other...and smiled... and everything again...was allright my heart yearns..burns.. but it belongs forever..to these soft hands... handing me an enveloppe..filled with poppy seeds.. Old Tiger...
Once on a sunny day.. in a meadow...I lay down.. and turned my face to the skye.. sun..burned..sun burned.. I was afraid.. was I a trespasser?? a forbidden field.. private territory?? did it hit my brains?? when I finally knew.. all was allright.. did any of you..ever lay down?? in a field..a meadow.. high grass..plain nature.. bees buzzing..flowers blooming.. do you know..the value? of a field??a meadow?? on a bright sunny afternoon.. I know..because.. it was me..in that field... and it was good.. it filled my brains with nectar.. like the bee...seeking its way.. to the petal of a flower..spreading new life... yes..new life.. and that day...in that field.. remains holy to me.. Old Tiger
A walk in a busy city.. folks laughing..shouting.. a snackbar..tables.. oh..a sandwich..eaten with delight.. sunshine in the streets.. shoppers..happy faces..money spending... a bookshop..a bargain book on motorbikes.. signed with grace..by the one who gave it.. I will forever be a biker.. that book..carries a signature.. so dear to me..even more then 1000 times.. a trip from there to Tokio.. and believe me..Japan was my dream... I keep that book..in a cupboard.. made of ancient oak.. it will be in there..for ages.. oh yes...I'm a motorbiker.... and I do forever treasure that book..with the signature.. of the one who gave it...to me... tiger
once..I visited my Dad's grave again.. a dear friend went along... that day..I couldn't cry... did my tears got solid??did they freeze?? standing there..in a light breeze... I gazed at the picture.. of the man who made me... usually..I cry..that day..I didn't.. was it the breeze??was it the sun?? shining upon that graveyard?? afterwards..thinking on that solemn moment.. I did cry..bitter tears..for the man who made me.. I call him my Dad.. and he was a damn good man.. yes..he was..just like me..he was a simple man maybe.. but he knew..what life..was all about.. tiger
A visit to a flowergarden..I recall oh so well.. our minds were filled with joy and laughter.. smiling faces..people filled with sun inside.. the flowers displayed their fragrance and splendor.. trees..mighty and reaching towards the skies.. a walk hand in hand..hands hold like an embrace.. the grass was green..and it was good..just to be.. in that flowergarden..can there be anything better?? then a walk in a garden..filled with joy and intense happiness..because when nature displays its splendid carpets..the human eye.. stares in a gaze..and then we finally know.. the value of a garden...filled with a sunny spell.. upon our smiling faces..did you ever visit a garden?? where your heart burst..where positive vibes were felt..in the mind and soul... and it was good to feel a glow.. a dove's plume,acorns shattered on the ground,leaves,the splendor of nature.. hidden away in the countryside.. far from the bustling crowd of cities and shopping centers..is there a place better then nature's call?? and walking hand in hand..out of a garden like this.. cannot be forgotten..it's branded in our minds... the sheer positivity of it.. overshadows anything else.. tiger
This morning..I woke up in a daze.. I went barefoot in my garden.. it's 21st of June..the calender said.. summer starts today.. I smelled the freshness of this morning.. my bare feet touched the earth.. with words of inner happiness... I greet my garden this morning.. hello garden...how are you today?? how can I express??a feeling deep inside.. an early bird sings his song into the air.. must be a daily ritual?? I was glad..that this morning.. the beginning of summer 2008.. marks a new beginning.. words often..cannot express feelings.. eyes tell the truth.. the first sunbeams this morning.. in my garden..touched my face.. and I knew..the summer came.. not only on the calendar.. but in my heart as well.. let it be..a summer..which fulfills.. our innermost wishes.. Old tiger
Did you ever sat down near a river?? clean water..ducks swimming around.. a touch of nature..inspires our hearts.. the mind opens up..reveals a lot.. holding hands..and the eyes that meet.. did the ducks knew?? the joy and happiness felt.. by the two sitting and watching.. smiles filled the air.. soft grass..and a river's smell.. the river will always run by.. love was around that day.. and I bet..every time..when I see.. any river or little bridge over it.. it will remind my heart to that day.. and to the lady..which is in my heart.. oh yes..I'm in love.. and the two..watching nature's beauty... also discovered the beauty of their heart.. they knew..they felt..what love is all about.. did you ever sat down near a river?? yes..I did..and it's printed in my mind.. Old tiger
A smile..that frown around our lips and face.. can do wonders sometimes..yes..it can.. did you ever smile??while looking in a car mirror?? and suddenly see another smile thrown back at you?? that smile..I recall..because it's a smile that counts.. inner beauty and happiness..is reflected in a smile.. when smiles are real..the 2 who smile at each other.. feel the value of it...because it's between them only.. I've smiled..I've cried..I laughed..I wept.. but that smile..on that day..in a car mirror... I will never forget..because..it was so natural and genuine..it's an inner force.. which drives us..towards a smile like this.. fake smiles..are not smiles at all..that's why I say.. try a smile..in a car mirror one day..but..the driver.. should keep attention to the road as well.. but still..in the right moment..faces were drawn again.. to that car mirror..because that smile..was special.. positivity..always wins over anything else...

I bet I posted this before.. but..it's worth considering.. I'll try to write some of my own poetry soon.. I need some inspirational thoughts.. freedom is different for all of us.. for a biker..it's feeling the winds in his/her hair.. for a circus artist..it could be flying a trapeze.. for a loner..it could be picking berries in Norway.. for a traveller..it could be Stonehenge,Katmandu.. for a filosofer..it could be reading a book of Nietschke.. for a psychologist...the teachings of Carl Jung.. for a music lover...listening to his/her favorite artist.. for a couple in love..going to bed together and make love.. for a flower..just the joy..to show its petals to this world.. for someone who judged or is angry..the right to forgive and forget.. for an object..the right to be there.. for a smile..to bring the joy into this world.. for a stranger..the right to become a friend.. for a grudge..the right to be solved unconditionally.. for a religious person..the right of his/her principles.. for a holiday...the joy of feeling free...away from home.. for friendships..the right to express feelings deeply felt both sides.. for sex...the way..to say...damn..what an orgasm you gave me.. for a bird..the right to fly high into the skies.. for a black raced person..the right to give a hand to a white person.. for a revolution..the right to be a struggle..but succesfull.. for a tear...the right to resolve sorrow.. for a HF forum reader..the right to speak your mind..and no judging.. for a river...the right to flow into the sea.. for a dear friend which you think you lost..the right to make it all up.. for old folks..the right to say..i still feel young.. for teenagers..the right to say..I like goth music..gatherings..friends.. for a pregnant woman..to feel the kicking of her child inside her belly...the freedom..of a new life..a new beginning.. for a candle...to give light in the darkness.. for inner feelings..to be shared with a trusted person... shall I go on??or shall I stop?? freedom...just be YOURSELF.. it's gonna be different for ALL of us.. but the main point is... FREEDOM..is a word..with a very wide angle in life.. if you wanna be free..fill in the *for* yourself.. it's DIFFERENT for all of us..but DO it.. 1 thing to conclude..if you are free... share your freedom with others..you'll be MORE free..

I got a friend...a real adventurer..who travells right now on his motorbike..in South America..I wonder often..how I would feel?? watching nature,facing the elements wind,rain,sun?? on a motorbike?? I bet it will get me that kick..that extreme joy.. that longing??for something else then daily life.. very recently..I experienced...well... a harbour full of seagulls..sun,a blue sky, the air of the seaside.. shells on the beach..and extreme joy.. yes..a joy of hearts.. when 2 hearts face a reality.. it gets towards a stronger feeling.. did I notice???yes..I did.. if I have to express this into poetry.. I'm to humble..and not a poet enough... to write down here.. the feelings of my soul.. it's an extreme feeling..shared..on that day.. all of us..face reality..do we know?? what the pebbles on the beach.. tell us..about the sea??and how they got there?? life is a mystery..and life..should be lived.. as we expect it to be.. I often wonder about life..am I a dreamer?? Tiger
In the early morning..when the birds still were asleep... I looked into these eyes.. cuddled and warm.. bodies entangled.. hearts melted together and that glow.. in the dim light of that room these eyes.. I saw..I felt..I loved.. an eternal spray of desire.. for mental and bodily togetherness.. these same eyes.. shed tears.. at a harbour..where a ferry went.. to a land..never desired to be.. for the one who departed.. watching the cliffs.. knowing..a beloved lady.. hairs in the wind.. tears on the cliffs.. nobody will ever know.. the secret strenght..or weakness.. of these tears.. and tonight...I shed tears on my pillow.. because I do miss.. these eyes..and a cuddle for eternity.. tiger
thank you for this thread, it gave me inspiration to write a poem today and start my own thread and write from the heart too.
Well..thanks Tinkertiger, and Volcomstoner.. I feel honoured that you appreciate my poetry.. it's not real poetry in that sense.. but..it comes from DEEP down within me.. I'll very soon post some thoughts which have gone through my mind... tiger
Oh spring..come on!!and let the bluebells show us their colour carpet..these rays of sunshine through a deep forest...are warming our inside.. the winter was long,dark and troublesome.. however...we enjoyed the snowflakes and the white carpet..do you remember?? the dormant little villages tucked away... deep in the countryside..where you took me.. we saluted every lone magpie...as tradition wants.. oh yes...wintertime...got its charm as well!! but...do you remember??the field of marigolds, the clouds we watched..trying to see figures in it... and do you remember that sunny day?? on an historic castle field.. where knights in shining armor.. fought each other in a jousting tournament.. defending the honour of their lady... SPRING is OUR time.. when your navy blue eyes tell me... there is sunshine in your heart... let the empty feeling deep inside of me now... let it be forgotten forever.. give that feeling some wings... and let if be gone away into the Universe.. give me your inner light... and let it shine a miljon candles.. may our path of togetherness be bright, intense peaceful and strong.. I remember your tears of sadness... I wanna see your tears of joy again.. we have to solve a problem.. but for EVERY problem... there is a solution in this world.. spring has comelet's wake up next to each other... I wanna smell your parfum,hold you tight in a cuddle... and feel that togetherness...which nobody can describe in words..you opened a window in my heart... spring has come...let's build on mutual trust.. and shout to the world....we are in LOVE forever... we belong forever...we always belong... tiger
Poetry...to be honest...I believe it's just great... it's often an outlet for our emotional feelings..no doubt..I see very often in these poems...a cry for help??or a sharing of an extreme gladness??or sadness??that's WHY I called my poetry thread sad or glad..you know what I mean??I will NEVER be a true poet in writing..but what comes out of me.. is REAL..honest and deep..I can only say here...me and peaceful lady are in LOVE..and we are at crossroads sometimes..but...we ARE US....and that's the most beautful poetry there ever will be.. true love...survives...even a BATTLE of words sometimes...we say words that hurt??? do we mean it in the real sense??... it's not poetry at all..it's very different.. oh yes..but..we learn a lesson from it.. I do send you my love,PL..you DESERVE it... and I will honour you..oh yes..because I LOVE YOU.. iand it's between us only... we know each other in and out..that's life... but is life not??a battle sometimes?? is that poetry as well?? wishing ALL of you out there.... peace,love,whatever you want.. but let it be positive.. this world is positive/negative...good/bad... beautiful/ugly..yin/yang..and that goes for all of us.. does it really matter?? if you wanna BE yourselves..be honest.. a forum in my eyes...forgive me to say so.. is just peanuts...compared to the real thing.. the real thing..is felt eye to eye/face to face.. not on a computer screen..that's NOT reality.. computers..only give you answers on google?? or whatever??but they will NEVER see.. what true love between 2 people means in reality.. because..that's poetry...between 2 souls.. just get face to face..and see reality as it is.. that's POETRY..in the real sense.. tiger
Just a tender word...a wink of the eyes.. we both enjoy the warmth and love... which is so present...in a tender embrace.. and then..finally...when birds started the day... and surprised us with their morning songs.. it was such a sweet noise to hear..so nice.. to know..that our 2 hearts again became 1.. just at dawn...in this early morning glow... this breaking of the light through the window.. we opened our eyes..and smiled at each other.. oh yes..we did..we KNEW..that this day.. is the beginning of spring..your soft touch...did it again.. it's relaxing and real...and it exists..in both of us.. is it??the affectionate and sensitive way?? you are listening to my worries in patience?? or is it?we both have shown?? that in time of storms... we are able to sail OUR ship??we will never sink.. there is NO storm we can tackle in life.. silent waters are often not possible.. but by now..we know how to sail in the worst weather... if I was a jet plane pilot.. I wished..I could draw a heart in the sky... with the exhaust fumes of my engine.. telling *love you forever* it's all because in your eyes... I do see..our present....and our future.. let spring day break its dawn..I'll be there... and that embrace...will never be forgotten.. see you..SOON.. tiger
I do feel your presence.. deep inside my soul..even when we're apart.. they say distance hurts..but soon..we'll be together again.. we have made ourselves a promise to keep.. failure..is a word banned in our vocabulary.. sitting in your living room..face to face.. is a feeling only we 2 can describe.. I see today and tomorrow...as a new beginning.. do you remember the mallards under the bridge?? nature around us...overwhelmed our being.. the water reflected our souls...it was clean and pure.. may our days...be filled with laughter,love and sincerity.. I recall a day on the beach..going for an ice cream... and when I looked in the mirror...my face was full of it... and your smile...I'll never forget.. we had days as well when our faces... were blurred with tears.. just accept an honest apology.. it takes courage sometimes...to say...sorry...I was wrong... and a broken promise..is a deep sin.. I do make a pledge today..that in the future.. our life has to be filled with understanding,care,consideration.. and OUR life..is great..it cannot be compared to anything... because being in love with you....is a blessing.. which only my HEART can feel.. and that feeling..is holy to both of us... trust...is our key... tiger
