I wanted to do something to show my appreciation for everyone here.

I like to write poetry for others. If you would like a poem, all I ask of you is to pick at least five words(it can be more than that, if you like) and I will write a poem from them.

Thanks for your time!
MA <3.

"Ellynlvx Set 1"

Ah, muse!
Sitting in your sylphlike splendor,
All adore your beauty and
From your words, they hang;
It is because you have captured their hearts
That they have captured you,
Imprisoning you in this tomb of longing.
How I remembered the Oracle of Delphi
Crowned with myrrh and whispers of fate,
Pearls dripping from elongated limbs
As arms stretched towards the heavens.
The dance of your kingdom has never left you,
Each deep breath nostalgic for the salt of sea.
They adorn you with gifts to soothe aching;
I leave a conch shell to remind you of home.
Listening,
Listen,
Listless.
Your heart is broken and ears are deafened
By the glare of glimmering of scales.
Harkening once more, you sing the song of
Generations before you because this is the
Only way to mitigate the pain in your soul.
The sound is healing and I am reeling
On ways to make you whole.

"Pearlty Set 1"

Heard it on the wind,
Tomorrow's tides are drifting;
Tree songs lifting my spirits
And guiding them home.
Each little prayer becomes
Treasures knotted on vines,
Straying to each mournful passing.
Can you hear my call?
Have I lost the magic within?
Please, beating heart,
Stay contained in my chest longer;
Falling apart from reminiscing time
Replacing moving feet where roots once were.
Grieving momentary lapses of memory,
Mother Earth, do you hold it against me?
I walk my own path now,
but I've never forsaken your vows.
Murmurs against my ankles,
Standing tall upon rocks at bay,
I raise my arms above my head,
Crying --
I will not be overcome,
No, I shall not be still.

MA, this gave me nostalgic chills! Gorgeous, I feel as though- I have caught a glimpse of yesteryear and have been transported back to a most thought worthy and beautiful place in time. Thank you!

I'm glad you liked it ^__^.

Usually when people give me a set of words, I get an image for a scene already and then try to describe that scene the best that I can.

In this case, I saw a young person that was elven-like playing a flute and sitting in a tree midday by the river.

I feel like in this scenario, this person was paying homage to his or her roots(androgynous figure). Even though that person loved that place, they recognized the importance of needing to seek the outside world, beyond the comfort of home.

After the first couple of lines, I thought of that Christian hymn that goes:

I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree planted by the water,
Lord, I shall not be moved

This figure recognized the importance of having to stand up for self and grow, rather than being complacent in life .

Thank you MA for the explanation of your method a few posts above. I enjoyed reading that. Your thoughts and words are beautifully interconnected. Reminds me of a figure skater who glides steadily rendering the talent and creativity they possess-to appear so natural, easy, and graceful for onlookers.

"Randall Set 1"

And he penned on the lapel
Of a worn coat, Why is it
That my soul grows heavy
In this fishbowl of a fate?
"But don't you see," I plead
With him,
"Lord Neptune,
I've swam in your sea of longing
As long as I can remember,
It would be a disservice to dissever
Yourself from those who duly need
The shelter of your guidance during
These turbulent and fearsome waters."
He smiled gently and bid fare thee well.
Without a moment's haste, I ran fingertips
Against the engraving upon corduroy;
The weight of the world rests on his shoulders
And the starlight shines in his eyes.
He seeks comfort in the meager offering
Of words I have to give.
It is because he is brave, I can afford to be weak;
And to sustain, I reflect to him the stars he longs to see
Beyond this microcosm that exists solely for him.

"whitewitch111 Set 1"

A rose, a rose,
How you smell so sweet,
Your stem curls against
Gloved hand,
Perched for all to see.
Dewdrops adorn your petals
And a light blush overtakes-
Oh, were you a rose,
Should I be so blessed,
But my dear,
A mess of my heart you make
With those three sweet words
You had lovingly spake.

Thanks mirage29 and Pearlty :3.

I was told recently that it sounds like music could be played with some of my poems.

I like the image of the gliding figure skater :3.

I'm a bit rusty currently, but I hope to get up to par and improve @__@.

Lovingly created by the pearls of our tears

Hopefully regulated by the bindings of our fears

We wait and hope and wonder what world will soon await

To feast our eyes and soul and mind on what we did create.

Stand poised and drawn, eyes to the Dawn

For Love's Eternal Fate.
