Shakespeare sonnet 141

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man,
Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

why is he so amazing?!

Rain

Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain
On this bleak hut, and solitude and me
Remembering again that i shall die
And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks
For washing me cleaner than i have been
Since i was born into this solitude.
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon
But here i pray that none whom i onced loved
Is dying tonight or lying awake
Solitary, listening to the rain
Either in pain or thus in sympathy
Helpless among the living and the dead,
Like a cold water among broken reeds.
Myriads of broken reeds all still and stiff,
Like me who have no love which this wild rain
Has not dissolved except the love of death,
If love it be towards what is perfect and
Cannot, the tempest tells me, disappoint.

Edward Thomas

"If I were loved, as I desire to be"

If I were loved, as I desire to be,
What is there in the great sphere of the earth
And range of evil between death and birth,
That I should fear, - if I were loved by thee?

Bad emo poetry !!
Writing this was... lots of fun.
ehehehe.

~

There's nothing left for you here
no one to hide from, to love or to fear
Just the echo of your own footsteps
and the ring of silence in your ears.

You had long wished for this release
For emotions to be nothing for pain to cease
And now you're in your perfect world
one that decided to grant you your peace.

You traded your all, your soul for this
No light in your world, an eternal eclipse
You dreamt and waited and prayed for this
To be lost forever and never be missed.

Your only instinct is to rejoice
That when you yell no one hears your voice
that you'll forget how to love, hate or feel
that you'll never get hurt so you won't have to heal.

Yea, i'm just lazy.

A wrote this a few months back. And cause i have nothing interesting to say and am feeling a tiny bit emo... i thought i'd post it.

Hello, goodbye -
A series of meetings.
A wave, a smile -
Distracted greetings.
Fragmented conversation:
a pause, scattered thoughts.
Avoiding confrontation
of the troubles life has brought.
Run away, look back
a flicker of regret.
It's courage that you'll always lack
and fear that you collect.
Life's slow giving,
life's quick taking
"life's worth living"
What's the bet you're staking?

-

the extent of my poetic-ness.

Shadows in the corner laugh at you
They know you're alone today
And really, even you blame you
'cause you pushed everyone away.

Voices whisper in your ear
they tell you what you're worth.
They tell you not what you want to hear
But the answer you deserve.

"not much, really"







=="" man, i'm so poetic. i really like how i crafted the last line.
