Perhaps when time permits, I can post some of my own work. The latest, called 'Honour Guard,' was intended to be carved in stone, . . . literally. Quoting: Campbell Randt
Campbell,
Sorry, but i missed seeing your post until just now!
Must admit, though, that i am very much looking forward
to reading some of your own works, as well as hearing
the story behind 'Honour Guard' being intended
to be carved in stone. It sounds most intriguing!
'Til then, my best to you...
Beam me up, Scotty! Beam me up soon!
Never mind, Scotty, cuz... "there is no spoon"

>>>Main Herr,…your depth is stunning. I am always playing catch-up with you.
“btw... an anciant word for wisdom is
SAVIThRY too >”
Now ain’t that special.
>>>Little Bird,…I just appreciate you so much. When you alight in my threads I hear the birds singing. Thank you.
“Sometimes those who hear & see & know...
know they know Nothing
&, in so knowing, they know...
the Void contains the Nothingness
in which does the potential exist
for the creation of Everything, no less,
in the eternal Cosmic Dance of Bliss!”
>>>B. It feels real good indeed. Thank you.
>>>Campbell Randt,... Thank you for your contribution. I am pleased that Main Herr has found a kindred in you here.
This is so true; “Centuries before the tele or the cinema, . . . when cell phones and blackberries were unknown, . . . our ancestors entertained themselves by their wits.”
Wits are exercised in the contemplation of poetry perhaps?
I would truly be honored if you posted 'Honour Guard’ here Sir.
>>>Excellent 787, but rest assured the Shit, Fuck and Bastard are welcome in any thread ‘o mine.
>>>Thank you Kandalit,… I see you put a description of yourself out for all to witness.
“You are so beautiful
an array of colors that dance
to the vibrations.”
Imo,…what your husband thinks is unimportant. You are a person hoeing your own row in life. With poetry as an emotional outlet, your experiences become processed and dealt with in a healthy manner,…Making you a better person. Your children will be the true winners in this. Namaste.
>>> What we need is here, indeed Stowaway. The best of humanity resides herein the music of the written word. “The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him.”

As it will be in the future,
it was at the birth of man.
TherE are only four things certain
since human progress began:
as the dog returns to it`s vomit
and the sow returns to her mire;
the burnt fools bandaged finger
must go wabbling back to the fire.
And after all this is accomplished,
and the "brave new world" begins;where men are paid for existing
and no one must pay for his sins - as sure as water will wet you,
as sure as fire will burn: the gods of the copybook headings
with terror and slaughter..return.

Corporate Crusaders
Their shameless charade
What are a few lives
When fortunes are made
Murdering millions
To bulge bottom lines
Make tidy profits
On rifles and mines
Backing the butchers
With chemical cakes
Medical murders
That viruses take
Manipulate masses
Through horror and fear
Chip away freedom
While forefathers tear
Sing to the public
A patriot’s song
Enlisting our children
To cover their wrong
Sending our soldiers
Staining the sand
All for the greed
Of future demand
Trade red gold for black
And Tomahawks flown
To place a new prince
On hypocrisy’s throne

Gentlemen, I would heartily recommend "And Death Shall Have no Dominion" by Dillon Thomas.Even though I`m a born again atheist I never fail to experience a surging thrill of hope when I hear this - especially when it`s read by Richard Burton. |

I don't have the 'courage' to post any of my own, lol, but here is another favorite by Tagore:
Journey to an Unknown Destination
How much further will you take me?
Tell me at which port will drop anchor
this golden boat you are steering?
Whenever I ask you, lady from some foreign land,
sweet-smiling, you only smile,
I fail to understand what you have in mind.
What does your move suggest?
You point your finger in silence
to the overflowing water, endless,
to the sun at one end of the sky
going down in the west.
What is it we shall find there?
Why are we travelling, in which quest?
Tell me, I ask you,
you stranger,
Over there, where the day at evening's call
is burning itself out in a funeral pyre
and waves are flashing like liquid fire
on the backdrop of the molten sky,
where quarters appear
as if about to shed tears,
is that where you live?
Beyond the wave-torn sea,
at the foot of the cloud-kissed hill
where the setting sun disappears?
You smile, looking at my face,
but not a word about where the boat veers.
The wind moans in a constant sigh,
the heaving wave roars in a passion high.
The deep blue water is anguished;
I look around, no bank is to be found,
as if limitless tears flood this earth
and then quiver.
Yet, there plies this golden boat,
there the still still-glowing evening rays float.
Why do you sit amidst it all
in a silent laughter?
It is beyond me to tell why in it you take
so much pleasure.
"Who will come with me"?
When first you had called
I looked at your eyes
on a fresh morn.
You spread your hands westwards to show
the boundless ocean that there flows,
where restless light shimmers
like hope in some breast.
I boarded and asked:
"Does new life await,
does hope's dream reap there
a golden harvest?"
You looked and smiled,
as before, silent.
Since then, clouds have gathered at times,
at times has arisen the sun.
Now the sea was rough, now it looked
a tranquil picture.
Time goes past, the sail moves in the wind,
the golden boat has disappeared, I find.
In the west, the sun descends
towards its hillside rest.
Let me ask you once again:
"Does soothing death here await,
is there peace, can one find sleep,
under this dark's breast?"
You only smile, only your eyes are alive,
there is silence for the rest.
Soon the dark night will spread its wings
and arrive.
The golden light will disappear
from the evening sky.
Now remains only your body scent,
the splashing of water's current.
Your hair, wind-swept
on my body flies.
And when heart fluttering, body benumbed,
anxiously I shall call you and ask,
where are you, come close
let me feel your touch,
you will not speak, and I shall not see
even your silent smile.
In the gap between your thoughts shines something far brighter than the sun, more profound than all of the universe...and too beautiful to even imagine |

Zack, you know you have the answer; I feel you are hesitant to surrender for fear of losing yourself...
you cannot and will not (lose yourself).
It's safe to let go.

Dedicated to Celador.
Holy Land is in ruins, its clergy got stuck in the lies
Like Titanic is sinking, and waters are streaming upstairs
Lord, you don't understand, I ain't trying to buy Paradise
I just thought we had something in common [to say and] to share
Josephine and Napoleon, diaries, myths, daily bread,
Mary Magdalene, music, true love, childish joy and despair
Miss, you don't understand, I ain't trying to get you in bed
I just thought we had something in common [to say and] to share
Tensors, densities, theories, spacial rifts,
Dual logic, equations, enslaving mechanical snares
Open Mind, so much for your paradigm shift
I just thought we had something in common [to say and] to share

Matrix V, astral trips, would they take you too far?
Signs of Senzar, vibrations, illusions and flares

Not Alone, you are One, but who cares ...

O, bright dawn of May
Our mother Hei-shan
We are sons of your rocks
and keepers of your honesty
We love you, the rocky hills
And your awesome gorges
That never came to know
The chains of shameful slavery.
While our unity gives wings
to our Lov-cen cause
Proud shall be, celebrated will be
Our dear homeland.
A river of our waves,
Jumping into two seas,
Will bear voice to the ocean,
That Hei-shan is for eternity.

It's been awhile since I've posted on here. I made a new handle and made a thread... hehe but no one knows it's me!
Or maybe some do???
Anyway. I thought I'd come back here to see whats kickin but it looks like no one has had anything to say in a few days.
Here is a poem just for the sake of keeping this thread going...
Zorro
Zorro will come tomorrow,
He'll come take me into the night,
take me away from everyone in sight.
Under a tree we'll shine our guns,
cooling from the scorching sun.
He'll teach me things I never knew,
he'll show me things that are true.
I'll brush the mane of his black horse,
I'll feel the touch of his hands so coarse.
In the midnight hours we'll ride the night,
together, I'm holding him so tight.
With his black horse, black hat and boots,
with his mysterious mask and that black coat,
Zorro, Oh Zorro, will come for me tomorrow,
Zorro will come, I wrote. |

This thread is awesome. I'm gonna go back and read more, since I skimmed over most of the pages.
Here's something a little crude and.. edgy? More of a spoken word thing than a poem I guess.
Our minds have been molded by brainwashing guns, bullshit loaded
The will of the people eroded by the tides of lies drowing eyes blind
So we no longer seem to find truth
As long as truth is hidden behind poisoned fruits
Disconnected from our roots we wander in confusion
The system seasoned our souls with MSG
Now we're too weak for revolution
We still have the power but never use it
While those in power abuse it |

Centered.
I slipped off recently and fell into the darkess. The light was diming,...the silence deafening.
But I heard the voices in the distance,...flowing/timless/knowing/caring/sharing/joyfull/l oving.

So you’ve cashed in all your chips, liquidated your assets, and given the proceeds to the poor thereby scoring the last-second game-winning points
The world’s gonna end soon.
Doom, of course, the only way to make sense of the gloom of the modern age.
The world’s gonna end soon.
Soon implies time, and with a smattering of quantum and meta physics I can prove that time doesn’t exist. But it is an intrusive illusion. And in this temporal pseudo framework, ‘soon’ still might be several million years.
The world’s gonna end soon.
Yes, dear boy, it will; but not in your lifetime. You’ve still got a few decades to go and you’ve lost everything you need to survive.
What will you do now!
The world’s gonna end soon.
What will you do now!
The world’s gonna end soon.
What will you do now!
The world’s gonna end soon.
