I have no poetry within me, but I just wanted to say how beautiful the work here is. I shall continue to lurk and to be uplifted by the lovely works of art on this thread. Thank you! |

Where are you, Spreading your wings? Where can I follow Your flight? Nothing is simple, But the question, Somehow, Never gets asked. Somehow, It's never the right time, The right place, The right frame of mind. Somehow I know That I'll always Wonder Where I can follow your flight.

Ja, ich weiß, woher ich stamme: Ungesättigt gleich der Flamme glühe und verzehre ich mich. Licht wird alles, was ich fasse, Kohle, alles, was ich lasse - Flamme bin ich sicherlich. "Früher war alles besser. Auch die Zukunft!" |

"When I Left Indiana" i was just a kid but i didn't know it i was just another fool out on the make i thought i knew it all then i took my graceless fall left me pickin' up the pieces headed for the gates it's been a long time since i left indiana been a long time gone ain't never goin' back nearly lost my mind then i left indiana hard to think about it now it seems so far away lived out on the ocean of a thousand whiskey bottles the coast of indiana where the bottles break i thought i had it covered later i discovered a million heartaches later i was just a waste it's been a long time since i left indiana been a long time gone ain't never goin' back nearly lost my mind then i left indiana hard to think about it now it seems so far away could it be so many years that live on unforgotten could it be i'm crazy for thinking of them now it's been a long time since i left indiana been a long time gone ain't never goin' back nearly lost my mind then i left indiana hard to think about it now it seems so far away (2009 db michel) PROUD TO BE TFFE! |

"Not For Me To Say" you could do so many things that i won't understand kick me in the corner or hold on to my hand you could be the one i need or be the one i don't you could be the one who will or be the one who won't all the answers to these questions will come another day until the day i finally know it's not for me to say not for me to say you could fill my ears with lies or tell the gospel truth you could give me all i need restore the faith i knew you could let me understand the things that i don't see i may be all or nothing by the time you're through with me all the answers to these questions will come another day until the day i finally know it's not for me to say not for me to say i don't know... it's not for me to say are you here or are you gone to stay i could tell you all my dreams and watch you laugh or cry you could look into my eyes and give me truth or lies i can see so many ways this crazy thing goes down you could hang around awhile or head straight out of town all the answers to these questions will come another day until the day i finally know it's not for me to say not for me to say (2010 db michel) PROUD TO BE TFFE! |

This is the good hour when the lamp is lit. All is calm, and consoling, and dear, And the silence is such that you could hear A feather falling in it. This is the good hour when to my chair my love will flit, As breeses blow, As smoke will rise, Gentle, slow. He says nothing at first-and I am listening; I hear all his soul, I surprise It's gushing and glistening, And I kiss his eyes. This is the good hour when the lamp is lit. When hearts will say How they have loved eachother through the day. And one says such simple things; The fruit one from the garden brings; The flower that one has seen Opening in mosses green; And the heart will of a sudden thrill and glow, Remembering some faded word of love found in a drawer beneath some cast-off glove In a letter of a year ago.

I can't spin a rhyme no matter how hard I try, but I sure enjoy reading them! Thank you to all the poets in here. I love reading your work even though I may not comment. |

I wish I wish I could touch your soul, as I touch your mind. I wish, you would the the woman and not the bright light. I wish I could have you, and not this free flight. Empty [I fell asleep over this one, only the last few lines survived] but nothing is emptier than not sharing your empty song.

oops typo and too late to edit. second verse should read: I wish you would see the woman and not the bright light. Thanks, Daniel. Since I've been trying the whole morning in vain to recapture the first verses, I'm afraid that's all there is going to be.

I can see Your hurt Like the seagull at midnight Watching the meteors fall I can feel Your hurt Like the oldest glacier Melting his life to the sun I can carry Your hurt Till the gardens of Eden Where we've got no hope to return Eternal me From the fires of heaven To the flames of hell From the blaze of creation To the cold of the void I've been here for eternity I'll still be at the end CT (2010) Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! |

"Fadeaway Goodbye" sometimes the eyes look away then you try fade away then you try fade away goodbye someone who is of no more use your hide away excuse your hide away excuse goodbye you may have needed someone sometime... but time passes by so fast you don't really have to ask you find you somehow like them less sometimes the eyes look away then you try fade away then you try fade away goodbye someone who is of no more use your hide away excuse your hide away excuse goodbye you may have been lonely sometime not now you know just what to do just let the lie be true now it's old once was new sometimes the eyes look away then you try fade away then you try fade away goodbye someone who is of no more use your hide away excuse your hide away excuse goodbye (2010 db michel) Just an observation of how people come in and out of other people's lives...It's not usually a sinister thing...But it can be sad if you think too much about it.

tying my heart to the emptiness to the increasing emptiness no voice to be heard no breath to be felt no smile to be seen only this barren emptiness tying my heart to the emptiness the sunshine imagined the flowers imagined imagined the sky tying my heart to the emptiness to this forsaken emptiness waiting in nothingness waiting in sufferance waiting in song tying my heart to the emptiness to the everlasting emptiness of the world without you CT (2010) Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! |
