All my poetry - easy read

Recommended Posts

It's taken me a couple of years to feel like this post is ok. so im writing it.
I wrote most of these in my 20's and 30's and half of them through some very truly trying times (guitar woulda been more constructive), they turn a little dark toward the end but are not yet in any specific order.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Woodwhispers-genuine-poetry-Steve-Brooks/dp/1484891643  -
it's sold very few copies and i have never marketed myself, but it's done. which is good... a 2nd edition will be required.
i've edited a good few crappy ones out. I'm not in the turmoil i was so production has dropped. :)
The first one is newer and not in the book.

Singularity
Intelligence is one entity 
the young call it god.
the proud, call it genius.
our genius calls it love.
--------------------------------------------
From the book;

Womankind
A womans body isn't square amazing grace, i do declare
It flows and weaves around itself as short as Halfling, high as Elf
As my lustful feelings grow the yearning hope that i may show my love for it, the female form a giving spirit, a playful pawn
For truly lustful feelings know that they are one yet seem to show themselves to be the greatest force fear not, they're not, it's love, of course.
My love for it, the female form Grows with every, waking dawn.

Life as a Bee
Fresh sprung breezes through the fray Is this happy summers day  
a day of joy a day of light a walking romance through the park
The tide it turns as often do the silent echo strong and true
A shadow born beneath the clouds its thunder roar a sacred sound.
The Devils echo a dark embrace clouds all the sunlight from this place.
The storm it wanes the storm it dies and soon the storm doth turn to ice
A frozen floodland in the dark a frozen rotting pregnant lark
A silent whisper, a laugh it sounds seems to rumble from the ground.
the air is thick yet cold as ice your heart you feel it chunder twice
What is this darkness, spirit and glow that fills these cavern walls so slow
Again you hear a whispered laugh it travels through the rocks it harks
`your mine you know, I'll fill your mind, with all the searing pain and sound a thousand nightmares strong and true I'll fill your mind with stick fast glue'
And so my nightmare tale doth end of happiness when it offends the forces of the powers-be when darkness calls, life as a bee.

Knowmenot
Haunting issues of days gone by, the fleeting dreams of a firefly
to whom he knows and does partake might echo true upon thy wake
Great sunder song streak through the air until a time he cries beware
if mercy be unto the self the dreamer shouts `just be yourself!`
Know me not and cry you will should truth benign become your still
soon ashes turn thy deeds to dust upon the dreams, our wonderlust.

The Sacrifice of Love
Wondering silent in the dark, I feel my quiet beating heart
It pulls me to the blinding light, towards the fire of lifes spun might
For it knows the wounds it brings, all the breaking heartfelt things
My body follows, mind and all, preparing itself for another fall
Because one day there might just be, a point to this, the crazy spree
Towards the light, towards the fall, towards the glory, heart, and all

Homes Echo
A place i dream, or so it seems
An echo of a past so real a glory lost and found, i feel
I've lost my way, or so they say, the test of truth is everyday.
So as I wonder, lost and found an echo of a past laid down
I feel it's guide, I follow through an echo of a past so true.

Waterlife
A flowing stream, a river too, never did they seem so blue
To watch the life go flowing by, a tide and eddy, a firefly.
Against the rocks it navigates, the silent song appreciates
So carried through the pebbles be, towards the deepest ocean sea.
Life's a macro, life's a dream, life's a steady, flowing stream.

DayDreaming
Running naked through the tree's, chasing whispers in the breeze
Hard to catch, they fly away, then come back another day
Soon you'll learn the whispers do, that in fact they come from you
Some may think they lead astray others know, they live and play
Chasing whispers in the breeze, running naked, through the trees.

The Fire Within (sol)
Breathe in hard, flame in the sky
For one day we all die
Enveloped by your plasmic death
Your viscous coil of dragons breath
Life's eternal, life's a ploy life's a fiery flame of broil
A marriage to the sun we make
So that we never all forsake
The truth to it the chaos soul
That which resides within us all

Life goes On
I sit and sigh, I contemplate
How to follow through and take
That which i need that which i know
A saddened story, to and thro
The morning sun, I hark , it comes
To change the fear of nothing near
And then I dream I contemplate
The future of this hurtful fate
I sit and sigh, the story goes
By a tree as it unfolds
I look to nature yet again
For inspiration, love and pain
And as it comes, can't help but wish
I'de swap it all for a love sprung kiss

Natural High
The sun is shining no rain in the sky
It makes me want to leap and to fly
Fresh breeze from the sea laps at my face
How proud I'm to be of the human race
Such levels of beauty my eyes can see
Such levels of nature and harmony
The tree sways in the breeze reminding me so
How energy gently moves to and thro
The only thing missin is you by my side
But I'll count my chickens while ime still alive
The sun is shining, no rain in the sky
Soft silent whispers a natural high.

Evolutions Conquest
Dragon true and dragon fair
Dragon whispers through the air
Searching waiting lost in time
To find the one that I call mine
he searches here, he searches there
He searches bleedin everywhere
A host that holds his long lost love
He finds one true then see's a mob
He does Flee, a romantic soul, driven by the one he holds
He looks again, through the blue, searching for his kindred true
The journey's hard, reward is small
Until one day he takes a fall
Enough he shouts, enough i say!
I cannot stand another day
Into the next life he doth go
To try again, to and thro
Eternal is his kindred search
Because without her, life just hurts

Island of Storm
My heart it bleeds a lonely shell
My life it seems a quiet hell
The next wave comes, of ###### and strife
It sullens the pain and feeds it thrice
Until the waves they calm and bleed
The pain returns 10 fold to me
What is my problem, my heart it aches
To end this hell how do I break.

Patience of Faith
Soon if death should greet me blind I pray one day I'll surely find
The reason for the ######-upness of life and lack of tenderness.
Tiring futile ###### and strife All these things they make up life.
Servitude no gain lest spent and even then its money lent
Compassion is a futile force except for the ones u help, of course
If giving leads me to short years with suicide my only tears
Then I'll recharge in death and so, Receive my love in time i know.

Paingivers
Blinding blizzard stupid farts
They toss and play with peoples hearts
Its just not funny, a game they play
reaching out for , a different day
now and again they find a soul
a juicy morsel and to and thro
Its love they use as finger thus
to stretch and strain its holy lust
Vampiric bastards one and all
They find great delight in divine fall.

The Force of Leaves
Waving sea of lands lost true
regret unfound and force unto
how weave we not to seek the day
that finds the one within the fray
I hear the sound of long lost love
I see the sight of truth above to temper these the force of leaves
how whisper they throughout the breeze

Unnamed
Hope and fire of wings unsung
grace of breeze and truth undone
hopeless fight and swing of fate
how they make my body ache
In this dark place hell does scorn
In the lightning fire is born
Soon the sun will shine for thee
as the shocking crime does plea

Turning of Age
Sunlet cometh so does rain they bring and spread their light again
the hope of justice the hope of pride the hope of circumstance aside
How wonder yee through fire and flame to earn the truth and sacred gain.
My feelings complex straight aside my hopes and dreams may not collide
belief replace the strength of trust,in truth it all could turn to dust.

Silent Hope
Skies of colours wisps of air a night of beauty and sweet declare
My dreams afloat my worries lost
My home doth harketh through the lust
Soft whispers true to form collide how spoken thee until they glide
through magnet green and purple too
Oh how they whisper straight to you

Sadness True
Screams of sadness silent sung
a dark moon rising, come undone
the pain of love, the pain of hate
oh how i leave it in my wake
it follows through, not far behind, a quiet whimper, a truth benign
to stop and feel, invites it true, unto it drives a pitchfork through
I hope one day, emotion strong, I'll find salvation within my song
If i survive my heartache through my silent screams, my sadness true

Hunter Kin
Learn in life u can't trust fate
Can't trust people the holes they make
There be some truekin folk u know
They weave themselves based on the glow
But qualified am i, im not
To find these folk throughout the plot
Cus faith and trust belongs not so, hastily given and hastily thrown

Tha MOON
We like tha moon cus it is green
through our eyes that cant see too keen
It mad and green and silent song
We hear it all night and day long
We like tha moon cus it is real
We have our cakes and with sum tea
we see tha moon in our green cups
and it gets bigger as we sup
Not too big no cus heads will roll
It fall from sky and make us old
Cus we need moon to congregate
our madcap feelins and mistakes

Two True
I feel i need to sacrifice
this terrible thing that they call life
The toss and turn of hearts true ache
That makes me feel that im awake
The struth and strife the fear and shake
the saddened tale the story's fake
yet live it we can feel it so
It mocks us true beneath our glow
So if you think the song unsung
then listen closely , it's just begun

To Be a Man
To be a man is quite unknown
How to rule this earthly throne
Not many men, i fear do know
What it is to rule this throne i know
A macho man with hard spiked hair
Will run from virtue hard and fair
Honour, truth and fairness just
To swallow pride and loose his lust
There's many things a man must know
That make him male that make him so
The path I choose, the image I take
May seem effeminate, to fools I make
A truth beknown to me, I say
To be a man takes many a day
It's not enough to lust and drool
To chase your pride around a fool
Discipline, honour, strength and trust
Much what I hold higher than lust.
A macho man, a townie lad
Aren't men to me, and I'm so glad
That with the pain I tolerate
that I am man i think they hate
The strength I get from all due pain
To be a man, to smile again.

The Yearning
Whisper softly in the dark, feel the silent, beating heart
Let it grow within your chest, cushioned softly, in your nest
If yearning impulse you do feel, then stress ye not, cus time will heal
Because one day you'll find so true, a love that's tender, just for you
As the river yearns for rain, to bring new life, to live again

Thank you for sharing,

thank you for caring.  

You are awesome and cute,

your poetry is beaut!

Pick up your pen and let more words flow,

to teach us of turmoil and things we should know.

It distracts us from the dramas caused by game bugs, 

until you post again, here are some Fairy Hugs.

Guess this is where my poetry ends,

so I bid you adieu.

Glad poetry is written by Wurm friends,

like you.

Your poems are deep and profound. Mine are cheesy. Almost like an slow child in school.

Its been fun righting  about dog poo and trolls but I would like to do something a bit more cerebral.

I must admit I am afraid to try. I don't care if I fail at simple poems but something that's dear and personal. That's another story.

I don't even know If I can come up with content. I usually put down what ever I see but to put down ones dark spaces or light.

I can never just put something down. I have to wait till it hits me. I may be to shallow. I guess I wont know till I try.

I just don't think I have content to fill a real poem.

it's good that you compete with yourself, it's healthy but to be fair u do write `real poems`
Poem: a piece of writing in which the expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by particular attention to diction (sometimes involving rhyme), rhythm, and imagery.
and in my opinion they're moer likely to be turned into songs than mine ;)
As for dark and light, it's just amplitude at play (energy interactive), with a habitual wavelength.
Lifestyle dictates the amplitude, my output was a form of *venting but i made it matter by getting it on paper.
*celebrating would be the term to use during its 50% positive.
It hyperactively fed the muse, how you achieve it could be done perhaps if you played a musical instrument or maybe did martial arts.
or grew a family.. or joined a rock band.
i find that, with WO, building architecture in a creative manner keeps muse cultivated so you won't loose your methods, its just a much longer wavelength. good to retire on.
excuse the concision i am currently high
real poems are ones you can read. i enjoy reading yours. Thanks for noticing, mercurial is the truth of mine. :)
ah yes credit where due;
