Ariadne Posted May 26, 2003 Back Home Back home...... A place so far away in time and reach it seems like a fairytale, a dream even or something fantastic an pastoralist Teacher would teach The sun is setting behind the trees The grazing animals have returned As the wind turns into a gently caressing breeze The sky darkens from a clear blue to a murky gray The rain will soon come down And I struggle to find my way Badly needed by the savannah and the town The animals and I make our path to my hut I lock them in a pen And close the gates and doors shut First in droplets than by pails The rain falls on the desert grounds A blessing for the crops, and in turn for the Cattle, sheep, camels and hounds Finally the rainy season has come Fast Forward now to a few months And all will be cheerfully complaining the restoration of the hot and scorching sun I sit in class and dream Of what it would be like if I was back home Would it be as wonderful as I make it seem? Next poem title: Lost in the meadows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariadne Posted May 26, 2003 Lost in the meadows Lost in the fields Lost in the woods Lost in the ever changing breeze A winding road that's a oneway street Is all the directions I have for now Is that a cross road where fates meet? No, my eyes are playing tricks on me Lost in a valley with towering metal I was once blind, but now I see Mountains and trees of gray looking dismal Lost in gray and ugly meadows Lost in fields full of syringes, broken glass bottles and junk Lost in rich and crumbeling ghettos Lost in between yesterday homes and future houses Where am I again? oh yeah Lost in a disgusting population of mice and louse Walking through a field of paved roads Nary a flower or leaf falls Slowly poisoned with pesticides, diseases and whatever other scape goats And the sky is blanketed with a smoggy and polluted shawl Wow what a place to start a life Dosen't it seem ideal for all Or is it just full of strife?

Mowgli Posted May 26, 2003 Salaams lol sweet gal I think you've startd a great topic and well done to Pixie for her contributions...I really enjoyed the first poem....well here is my attempted...the title was kinda difficult lol A Symphony in Green Near a spring, in a meadow of green a girl sits alone with her memories, as the white organdy dress floats in the breeze and the sweet perfume of orange blossoms mingle around her like honeysuckle’s in the wind. Softly her long brown hair blows in the wind, distracting her with thoughts of a love she longs deeply for in all her dreams. Sounds like music of a great symphony play across her mind as she holds her book tightly to her breast, sighing as sweet thoughts drift to her love who flies around the world and fights a war. She wonders if he thinks of her in times of rest. Will their love stand times test? Will memories branded in meadows of green on a warm summers eve become a misty memory? She'll return to this place on a hill listening for his voice in the wind longing to touch his lips again, tenderly praying, God once more, let love be.

biG mOm Posted May 28, 2003 aslaaaama calaykum sweet gal nice topic ayeeyo , poetry game, where baranbur game? kidding Batuulo, your bath is caming,------------ Run my friend! Run!! Forget everything, Your shoes, your money, your house and car, Just run! Start here, turn right and go straight, Until you come to the end, Where you’ll meet your fate. Don’t stop for money lying on the ground my friend.. Don’t stop for beautiful women, Don’t stop for new, sleek cars, Don’t stop for anything, Just run. As fast as your legs can take you. But don’t forget your salat on this run my friend. And don’t forget to fast. Don’t forget to stop at Mecca on your way. And don’t forget Allah. Read the Quran while your walking my friend, And remember all of your blessings while you run. Help the fallen stand up my friend, And when you reach the end, You will know if you ran fast enough or If you walked too slow./// Believe me. You will know./// Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ariadne Posted May 28, 2003 Your path A street leading you wrong or right Somewhere to follow the path from day to night Will you take the paved road? or winding trail? Many circumstances will come when you can neither win nor fail Your path When you walk for a few days Then come upon a split with two roads Which one do you take? The one that looks ideal to the eye or the one thats an infested swamp with snakes and toads Your path How long will you rest? How long will you wait? Will you sit by the road then fall asleep? Are you hurrying now to catch up with your fate? Your path You travel where you need to go Life's journeys sending you to new highs And lows You stop for a rest here or there meeting other journeyers and their stories they are willing to share Your path The clocks will tick clockwise than counter clock wise You will think you are still young, But you will be old Its one of the mysteries we can never unwravel or unfold Your path A will thats chosen? or an intricate design drawn out like math? Does it have a beginning or an end? When your weary of traveling will your broken heart, dreams and tired feet mend? Drifting, walking, ambling, running, moseying, darting, and wandering down your path To Your destination The tired traveller has grown young and then old Their familiar story I have once again told Well its been nice now, but its over When your dead upon life you can't hover You are now where you were headed throughout your travelling Rest now get some sleep Your loved ones for you moan, cry and weep While you fall deeper and deeper into eternal sleep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rising Phoenix Posted May 28, 2003 nice game, sweet-gal...thanks for bringing it to our attention...me myself I'd LOVE to make an anthology of my poems...hopefully some day "A Smile" A smile you threw my way When I met you on that fateful day I couldn't believe the sparkle that seemed to shine Right then I knew, I wanted you to be mine A smile you gave unto me Your love you showed so freely When you said "I love you" I cried When you said "Goodbye" I died All because of another...yes "A smile" He said "come in, only for a while" A while lasted longer, I didn't see it didn't feel right When I spend with another, what was supposed to be our night My tears dried when you said "Its over" You left with "A smile", and I had no cover For the pain that hurts me even to this day Yet I know, I myself threw it all away...
