bronxcutie Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Here is one of my favorite poems. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and is tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.

bronxcutie Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Anyway here's another good one =) P.O.W I'm a prisoner Of words unsaid Just lonely feelings Locked away in my head I trap myself further Every time I stay quiet I should start to speak But I stop and stay silent And now I've made My own hard bed Inside a prison of words unsaid I am a P.O.W Not a prisoner of war A prisoner of words Like a soldier I'm a fighter Yet only a puppet Mostly I only say What you wanna hear Could you take it if I came clear? Or would you rather see me Stoned on a drug of complacency and compromise M.I.A I guess that's what I am Scrapping this cold earth For a peice of myself For peace in myself It'd be easier if you put me in jail If you locked me away I'd have someone to blame But these bars of steel are of my making They surround my mind And have me shaking My hands are cuffed behind my back I'm a prisoner of the worst kind, in fact A prisoner of compromise A prisoner of compassion A prisoner of kindness A prisoner of expectation A prisoner of my youth Run too fast to be old I've forgotten what I was told Ain't I a sight to behold? A priosner of age dying to be young To my heart is my head with a gun And it's cold and it's hard Cause there's no where to run When you've caged yourself By holding your tongue I'm a prisoner Of words unsaid Just lonely feelings Locked away in my head It's like solitary confinment Every time I stay quiet I should start to speak But I stop and stay silent And now I've made My own hard bed Inside a prison of words unsaid Alicia Keys ( from her new book, Tears for Water! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casekonly Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Dreamland Poem by Edgar Allen Poe (1844) By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule- From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE- out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters- lone and dead,- Their still waters- still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,- Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,- By the mountains- near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,- By the grey woods,- by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp- By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls,- By each spot the most unholy- In each nook most melancholy- There the traveler meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past- Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by- White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the Earth- and Heaven. For the heart whose woes are legion 'Tis a peaceful, soothing region- For the spirit that walks in shadow 'Tis- oh, 'tis an Eldorado! But the traveler, traveling through it, May not- dare not openly view it! Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed; So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid; And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses. By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have wandered home but newly From this ultimate dim Thule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 A Community of The Spirit There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street, and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both your eyes to see with the other eye. Open your hands, if you want to be held. Sit down in this circle. Quit acting like a wolf, and feel the shepherd's love filling you. At night, your beloved wanders. Don't accept consolations. Close your mouth against food. Taste the lover's mouth in yours. You moan, "She left me." "He left me." Twenty more will come. Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence. Flow down and down in always widening rings of being. -RUMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOOGLE? Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 LOVE...HATE ----------- Love Hate Love is deep within your gut struck with fire to the touch Hate is when you can't relate in a different state to hate Revenge execute pain to the thief of Love filled with Hate I won't mistake Inside out pin Love is grand Outside in pain Hate awaits Ain't love grand it saves the human Sometimes Love is never finished Some times Hate is never ending Love & Hate too close for most but Revenge can make it even Love, Hate...Love to Hate To Love to Kill by the will of loving Hate Kill the Love with your fear and then the Revenge will set in. Revenge...Quench the Hate in the mean time but in the end your soul will end. Revenge...Like a junkie that needs his shott, Hate Revenge the brotha's twins. Love is solid and won't go nowhere Love will stay as sure as Life lives Love will stay it's crept in everywhere Love, Hate, too close for most but revenge can make it even Revenge: is gained when Hate kills Love Love rises above because Love is the dove Love and Hate both are the same Causing the extreme opposites of the same pain When we meet on The fields of onions to make war Brings tears to my eyes...Love & Hate Brings tears to my eyes. When Love dies Hate will arise. When Love dies Hate will arise Hate will arise for you to despise Hate is laughing at your fate Love is beautiful and it is potent Love inhibits the inhabitant of Love Love is the permanent state Hate is for the late freight. Peace, Love and Hate can definitely relate. angelo "dr madd vibe" moore of fishbone and much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
