Poems

[malumgirl]

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go,
Life is a barren field,
Frozen with snow.

[genre]

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky,
So was it when my life began, So is it now I am a man,
So be it when I shall grow old, or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man and I could wish my days to be,
Bound each to each by natural piety.

[minxy]

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

[scamp]

John Keats said:

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

[seirian]

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

William Shakespeare said:

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

[idwal]

All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.

– T. E. Lawrence

Sri Chinmoy said:

A new world of peace,
A new world of light,
A new world of height,
Can alone give me,
Satisfaction-delight.

[ianna]

The kiss of your temptation intoxicates me with an illusion like a living flame,
There's a soft whisper in the silence of one bleu night between two lovers bewitched in their love
And life laughs: "ah ha" and the moon laughs: "umm umm"
Too many birds in here whispering about you,
You only need to listen hard enough to know how much I love you.

[bard]

Footloose: Lori Singer said: said:

I'll sing to you of silver swans, of kingdoms and carillons. I'll sing of bodies intertwined underneath an innocent sky.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge said:

And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

[heeled]

Sri Chinmoy said:

I did not come into the world
To prove anything.
I came into the world
To love everyone
And everything.

[powell]

A puppet dances,
To its own merry tune,
No strings attached.

[virgil]

All the birds have flown up and gone,
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other,
Only the mountain and I.

[ace]

The mind chases happiness,
The heart creates happiness,
The soul is happiness,
And spreads happiness everywhere.
