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 home

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 Melody

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!

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

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 woe

If 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

Weather then wither come smither
Haven't found my shoes today
Silver slither come hither
Heather feather coiled dismay

O deliver sweeter shiver
Harp not the hark that heralds here
In the river there quiver
prither thee, dithery silvery tear

Responsibilities

Some 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

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

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 you

I 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

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 deliver

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-in

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

Me
Review, research, analyse, construe
I looked inside me to get to you
When all of the time I was searching for ME
I looked through your eyes to see

The Author
There is no restriction on my imagination
I can be there when I choose
But I know truth from Fiction
Plight the accusers who refuse

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.

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?

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 day
