A star granted my wish tonight Shooting through a constellation Inviting numbers to my wisdom And filling my soul with a wonder That consumed my eyes with a watery light. The heavens told me That even in the night I see a single colour Spectrum, it's deepest solace To I alone I pass through the consciousness of elevation And though alone I stand I am in many a celebration of one Hope and one Dream That my Love awaits the drome So clear That now he hears me call him homeIP: Logged |

Beautiful work, Quinnie!The strength of your imagination has an uncanny depth here. The passage you describe reads to me as the commencing of some rite of passage, or something of the sort. What does "drome" mean?

drome, a tone or sound (coming from an airfield) which to me is like a moan or yearning sound. Thanks Nois and Mystic MelodyIP: Logged |

Quinnie,I thought that it might have been more of a creative use of the word but I wasn't sure. Since you are from Ireland, I thought that it might've been a word I didn't know about. This is really good writing and what I like most is the creative, unique feeling I get when I read it. Thank you for sharing! IP: Logged |

Em I'm just going to continue on with poetry.And why is language understood When only having Flair and mood A simple answer yes or no Is not enough to know And why do you speak as if it by mouth A tongue of fire has none without When born into, within a child conditioned lease ofthoughts compiled I contemplate an oath to be taken The spoken word of truth forsaken To thinnk of Eros before I speak To drain myself foreward I leak For I eat my words as if I'm silence To feed upon my ungrateful licence Should I not be born into misery If it be bourne from me IP: Logged |

Why say I Must it be so To open up and let it grow Should I hate before I know and tell the tales of LOVE in woeIf it be said before I say I should not feel before I fray The most deserving thoughts can stay And yet I let them fly away To laugh upon the face of follow I shall not be my-Self so shallow Or let my-Self to their tongues to swallow But shine unique before I bellow Beneath myself I stand in a crowd To hear my-Self I must shout out lod Doing immitations to make proud But I won't be hidden within a shroud If I be torn apart by few I know I will torment their construe For I am not afraid of new And will not be the same as you IP: Logged |

ResponsibilitiesSome might say we're dubtiful Taking on board what's to be done If you need a hand or if you need none If you need a little help on where to have fun We take from over Time stands still When you share it out Although the clock still ticks when you look at it Monday is, Sunday is And Casualties without If you find it hard to justify Search the doubt We take from over Whatever should be whatever it should And in taking this carefree attitude We're grounded to the founded of a mutitude By knowing we do it In the way that we would IP: Logged |

Where or where is the ground It's lost in the air, nowhere to be found I've looked uo and down, iside out, all around Where O where is the ground?When will we stop contradicting What will we do when we stop self-inflicting Without taking insults, deconstructive depicting When will we stop contradicting? What will be there when I empty and there's nothing to write in a diary entry Being open and honest will expose the black plenty So what will be there when I empty? How do you do and feel? Have you lost control of the wheel? Have you gone off track but you need to get back there? Don't worry we share the same deal IP: Logged |

I am a daughter I want to make myself known I own a laughter I want to sound it my own I am a lover I want to be loved by one Don't want another Just want to be with youI like to analyse From an intelligent view Don't mean to criticize I'm just fascinated by you Afraid to catch your eyes That I might know the truth That what I thought I despised Is what I need from you Just say the words and I'll be true IP: Logged |

I see your eyes They follow me around the room. So casual a glance that reunites us. I should not look again but do compelled to As my body speaks Disguising the language Of cold unfeeling warmth You make me shiver It's not a message of the mind But of the heart that you deliverIP: Logged |

What is this that I feel so much that it lightens me Like I could evaporate into the air And vanish to be visible to the in Is it advisable to vise it? I feel Him so near And when I do hear you, see you so clear I see right through So clearly I am so clear to see, that I am Invisible, And can only be seen with Him , with-inIP: Logged |

I don't see a fantasy Looking in the mirror What I choose is to refuse the pain Knowing full and well what I judge Comes from mime own, as juror Makes no difference to you to sustain

Also,After reading most of these, I must say that I am in love with the Spirit of this poetry. You have a beautiful talent, fellow sister. quote: Harp not the hark that heralds here
quote: Like I could evaporate into the air And vanish to be visible to the in
quote: If I be torn apart by few I know I will torment their construe For I am not afraid of new And will not be the same as you

I know more now about what you meant by the "same curiosity". You sing to a similar tune as I do and you have a very distinct language in between. It's charming, to say the least. How much of your wordplay is intentional? Do you devise meticulously or do you just 'let it flow'? I am going to take the liberty and guess that it's a little of both. So how is it? IP: Logged |

Thanks all. Yes Nosis it's a bit of both. Sometimes I sit down and just write what comes inot my head whether it makes sense or not. Then I look at it and do a little reshuffling to grammatise it better. I saw your peotry and knew you were doing the same because even though it's emotional it's not necessarily from a place of emotion. I love it. I'll send more in if people will read. I went to a creative writing classonce and got so much out of it. Plus if you write it from flow you are writing sub consciously so you will get a few personal messages here and there. Thanks your comments really made my dayIP: Logged |
