Poetry

Can you please help me? I need it really soon? Here's a copy of the poem. I must go down to the seas again,
to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship
and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song
and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face
and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again,
for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call
that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume,
and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again
to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way
where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn
from a laughing fellow rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream
when the long trick's over.

The Sun Shall Rise Again by Saint John

Pressed against your lips I remember
For tomorrow always seemed outstretched
"Die in arms tranquil" you once rested in me--
You shimmered alongside angels with such ease...

For I believed in something more than myself,
Forever never seemed long enough.
As you lied with your heart intwined with mine,
Questions answered why one would live...
For on days like these, it's easy to believe
That with you, I knew--
The sun shall rise again...

The streets once paved with ounces of gold
Each step we took, each promise told
Leading us closer to a destined light
Whispers bonded with all of our might--
We were one...

'Till a harsh wind blew of tears undue
I'd fight the wave of a life unpaved
To know the truth that pushes me away from you
Into a life of sin--
Please my darling, hear me when....I say
The sun shall rise again...

My memories are blurred.
The ones from 5 years ago,
Begin to moan.
As i go through my years,
I keep all the tears.
Hoping that the tears I shed,
will take me back to the years that are dead.
My memories are heard in my head,
It’s a movie in my mind that always rewinds and reminds.

wound up tightly, ready to spring
release only comes from the drink
and the drugs stop me from being a prick
from a life time that smells just like stink
soundless thoughtsstirring within the head
look over now, ten people lay dead
broken words sold the midget said
the demonic monster will be fed
with a southern drawl the man he spoke
most people around here are good folk
social issues, paranoid on coke
please excuse me while i take a toke
the soldiers face all covered in scars
sitting so drunk in his local bar
hearing the voice of dead irish dah
round here things dont change, they are
sacrificed myself to pay the rent
im sure thats not what they really meant
emotionally got twisted and sorta bent
fighting back till im totally spent

Does anyone know the poem or saying about the harshness of winter when the berries are in abundance .I think it's a northern saying/poem, and the words thaws and haws are included in it. Might even be Scottish. Many thanks.

Rural Dorset is an area of scenic beauty and contrast, criss-crossed by the pretty River Stour and bordered on both sides by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Along the Wiltshire borders lie the rolling downlands of the Cranborne Chase, formerly a royal hunting ground and now a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering high chalkland views, many wild flowers, birds and butterflies.
To the east and the Hampshire borders, heathlands meet the meandering Avon Valley, which forms a delightful natural boundary with the neighbouring New Forest and its woodland and ponies. Holt Heath, a National Nature Reserve, is home to rare and unusual flora and fauna such as the shy Sand Lizard and diminutive Dartford Warbler.
Across the River Stour lies the gentle clay vale and dairying country of the Blackmore Vale, much beloved of Thomas Hardy, with its patchwork fields and hidden hamlets. Beyond, and stretching right over to the coast in the far west of the county, lies the open country of the Dorset Downs, Area of Outstnding Natural Beauty.
The serene and picturesque valleys of the Rivers Stour, Allen and Crane with their tranquil water meadows and lush vegetation are particularly rich in wildlife and make the perfect setting for an afternoon stroll or leisurely ride.

Drinking Song

Chug-a-Lug, Chug-a-Lug.
Choke on the beer, gag on the wine.
Room starts to spin, need a drink to stop it.
Chug-a-Lug, Chug-a-Lug.

Stammer, Staggger.
Ol' gal won't dance with a drunk.
She don' wanna go, maybe I'll drag her.

Wobble and Weave.
Gotta get a drink for the road,
One more 'fore I leave.

Mumble and Stumble.
Feet don't work like they should,
Trip and fall, then I crumble.

Chug-a-Lug, Chug-a-Lug.
Need a 'lil nip in the grave
When they finally get it dug.
Chug-a-Lug, Chug-a-Lug.

Dream of Knives
Alfred Yuson

Last night I dreamt of a knife
I had bought for my son. Of rare design,
it went cheaply of its worth – short dagger
with fancily rounded pommel, and a wooden sheath
which miraculously revealed other miniature blades.

Oh how pleased he would be upon my return
from this journey, I thought. What rapture
will surely adorn his ten-year princeling's face
when he draws the gift the first time. What quivering
pleasure will most certainly be unleashed.

When I woke up, there was no return, no journey,
no gift, and no son beside me. Where do I search
for this knife then, and when do I begin to draw
happiness from reality, and why do I bleed so
from such sharp points of dreams?

This poem is about my good close friend moved yesterday...=/ im really sad so i wrote this i need your honest opinion and do you think this poem is deep?

You told me your moving miles away
Left me speechless with nothing to say
Didn’t want to get hurt, so I tried to drift away
I was scared. It was like I was trapped in the dark.
You began to notice & you asked why I've been ignoring you.
I knew I was, but I denied your question & responded "I'm not."
I tried to act so cold like I didn't even care,
And made it as if she was a stranger; someone I had never seen or met before.
But the pain grows stronger each day like being shot over and over.

Time passes by, and it seems like we're not talking.
But I thought about all the times we've had.
And I thought about the way we used to talk, we shared so many deep thoughts,
And laughs, and now we're sharing tears.
I can't ask what happened
Knowing it was my fault
For distancing myself when we should have been closer

A compliment here,
Compliment there.
My heart leaps in the air.
Drips of blood falling down,
Over my head if it doesn’t stop dripping I will be dead!
A pool of red,
You start swimming in the pool,
This makes me start to drool.
Another compliment here and there my heart is forever in the air!

Vote for the new masked warrior
The people number one choice
He will give them freedom
He will give them a voice

Let them run free across the plains
Run for their lives
Gave them a voice
Now they beg for mercy and pled for their lives

Army full of miniature figures
Shadows, nomadic children of the dawn
Narcotic induced heroics
A chess game no right no wrong

All this horror & tragedy
Incomparable hunger and need
Simply fueled by one man
His egotism & greed

I sit and claim, that I will sing, 4eva I will sing.
Sing till my lungs die out.
Till my love for u has gone down the drain,
Waiting for the to pain die.
I sing my song, the song i sing i sing it just for you.
Then a clap,
Another slap towards my love,
I will protect u like the words from a dove.
And I will return to love u, but till then I will sing!

In the stars i see the light that shines upon you face,
Then suddenly there is no space between you and me.
We hold each other so very tight.
So loving in the pale moon light.
Then lighting strikes, a sheet of light toward the tree that’s behind me.
it makes you glow so very bright.
But it burns so much I am in so much pain.
I Just want to leave right now!
Now we are standing by the moon as happy can be.

I'm not sure what's going on with me these days, none of the poems I'm writing are very alike. I'm not sure what I think about this one. It's a bit different from my usual stuff...let me know if it works.

Screaming Silent

The wind became my voice
when no one else would speak
for me. I learned its secrets
made them mine.

Storing fury beneath
a fragile calm. Learning
to walk in the ways of the invisible,
the hidden. Filling
my lungs with the chill, soft
resistance. Waiting for the voice
to come,
to resonate;
bringing
the thunder,
the release,
the power
unseen.

Suicide

Lying in the grass on a sunny day,
Wishing I would die and blow away.
Couldn't get much lower, in way too deep,
Way too many promise, I just can't keep.

Thinking of the ways one could end their life,
Wishing I could take it back and end the strife.
Swallowing a shotgun, doesn't seem my style,
Think that I'll just lie here and ponder it a while.

Poison is the one way, people give a try,
I don't even think so, I don't know why.
The taste of Cyanide wouldn't be so great,
Sprinkled on lasagna, on my dinner plate.

Suicide by cop, that one's tried and true,
Could he live with that one, the man in blue?
No, I couldn't put that on just anyone,
He is just a man, it's not fair to use his gun.

In the end I know that I'm the only one,
I came to realize while lying in the sun.
I know I'll go another day, living with the pain,
Sure would better suit me, if it just would rain.

Seeing as though only one person cared to comment I'm reposting it lol...


An old pilot once said to his wife
I am sorry I can’t maintain life
this old tool of mine
Has little more time
I fear we could be in some strife

A solution was found in pill form
And no longer did his wife mourn
The blue pill he’d pop
All night they’d not stop
The old pilot felt he was reborn

But a problem occurred the next day
While walking to work, looked and did say
"Like a 12 story tower,
Everlasting in power"
But to rest he could not make it lay

On the runway a plane taxied quick
The co-pilot his face looking sick
For beside him he saw
What he’d like to ignore
The old pilot was on the wrong stick
