* SilverFang clears her throat, and looks around. will anyone else with poems please /msg me? brb..need me soda and in the meantime, I think we'll begin. # Parts: Falconeio1 (fal@PPPa27-NewYorkE5-1R669.saturn.bbn.com) ? hiya Havoc_TR in keeping with tradition, I'll take the hotseat first, with an older one. # SilverFang changes mode: +mi I believe in a life force, Vast beyond imagining, Evident in the tiniest things around us... The wind through the pines, The stark silhouette a fawn and doe Standing shyly at the edge of the woods In the morning light. I believe that it is part, if not all, Of everything that makes me who and what I am; I believe that it makes me a part of Everything else around me... The mystery of a child's first cry, The clean lines of the diver, Caught in mid-flight; The grace of the dancer, Alone with the spotlight and the music... They are all in me, and I in them, If only I believe: If I dare to dream, with the simple Sweet faith of a child, That the world is mine. And I believe... I believe because I must; the alternative Is loneliness and isolation. I believe because when I do, That force connects us all, Like a fragile, delicate web of crystal, And all that I do has meaning, For there is no isolation; I dare not act for me alone. I believe, for belief draws me in To the best within myself, And I become you become me... But only when I believe. # SilverFang changes mode: -mi * SilverFang steps back to her seat in the audience. interesting and vivid * Havoc_TR applauds. :) Very good.....a poem of strength. * TheBlueWizard applauds thank you. :> Very nice! that's one I've read before. tonight it's to balance a new one, rather on the dark side, I'm afraid. the dark side is as important as the light side i think anyway..*shrugs* What is good with no evil, light with no dark....... but what is either without a balance? * Dracas had to get in his two cents... * Silvermist nods...."quite right." * Silvermist hands her son a pair of pennies. er...a mess :P perhaps.. but it always distresses me when my poems are less than lighthearted. * Dracas nods * Wolvengeddi shakes his head.... I prefer a little darkness...keeps it interesting maybe disturbing....but always interesting * Dracas has actually watched the balance lately...big falling, blue rose killing shift...whooo-boy... * Dracas rambles some more * Wolvengeddi chuckles so it is it'll be interesting to see the reactions to it, then. but, anyway, shall we move on? Silvermist has two new ones for us tonight, and she's up next, with the first. nothing I can do but live Falconwind. *snugs* ! Split between servers borg.se.eu.dal.net and ced.se.eu.dal.net eep hi, Falconwind. :> split well dear Smist....read us your pleasures hiya Falconwind # SilverFang changes mode: +mi # SilverFang changes mode: +v Silvermist * Silvermist glides up to the front and smiles. * SilverFang calls Silvermist up to read. This poem was written shortly after I'd finished coloring a picture of Neutronium and Shavaylah....which is entitled the same: "Eye to Eye: A Mother and Son" I sat looking, one fine day In a most amused way At my Mother Shavaylah so dear And my brother Neutronium who was near I am not very small you see But I am tiny next to he And Mother a faerie dragoness small Makes me feel extrordinarily tall Mom is just a tiny speck When to my brother she is next And I wondered with a sigh How they can see eye to eye But we're a family as you can see In this size matters not to they nor me. --end-- # SilverFang changes mode: -mi * SilverFang smiles. * Wolvengeddi smiles at the goodwill of smisty....even though the hardships..... * Silvermist smiles. tis true....you keep the composure of light anyway...and it shows in your work Lue pointed out earlier that physics goes right out the window in #afd...he will like that poem. as do I. :> * Wolvengeddi nods and smirks * Silvermist chuckles softly. re FyreShard. *snugs* * TheBlueWizard applauds...he likes it * Kreldon hugs his aunt...very good poem re, FyreShard... Thanks, Krel. *smile* hiya FyreShard * SilverFang returns her attention to the task at hand...*grin*. hmmmm our next poem is from Dralayven... # SilverFang changes mode: +v Wolvengeddi * Wolvengeddi walks to the front Thunderwing. *snugs* * Wolvengeddi winks I'm going to ask him to introduce it to us. hi, Thunderwing. # SilverFang changes mode: +mi well...actually...even wrote a forward for you all * Wolvengeddi ahem The eyes opened The blurry sensations of the morning Or the afternoon Whichever you prefer The sensation is the same Once you get up and go to the bathroom You can't go back no matter how hard you try For me anyway Take the shower Relive the night's dream in your head The harder you try to remember The harder it is to Dreams So funny Last night I dreamt Of what? I held my unborn child in my arms I have no wife I have no girlfriend I have very little But…. Alexis was her name So…this is dedicate tonight's readings of mine to her Closest to love poems you'll get from me for a while *********************8hehe...sorry..thats longer than the poem There were the silver lips Candied kiss Forlorn looks of the loving grace Someone comes home And they all are blown Their cover that is That is all that is known Love poems Bah…what crap Valentines was a bust All I know Is that the same cards are layed Everytime I care Silver chalices Make good calluses Lucky pills pay most of the bills Science is the boring religion Because we will do as we will Give up the chases Before you lose How would feel If you lost your power of communication Hey I'm hating it too A dream will pass Shatters the glass No one hears it but me Comforting wills Solid chills Make the boogeyman say goodnight So laugh good lad This is not working Choose a path Darkness still lurking No will is no choice But this man has a voice Just no way to make it sound good tonight END*with a wink* ********************** # SilverFang changes mode: -mi Interesting....I like it....it stirs the soul a bit. wow...I see what you meant. you and I make a good writing team tonight...watch and see. I thought it sounded like poo meself * Wolvengeddi chuckles Very interesting! I'm not exactly thrilled with mine either. but your s has its point, and makes it. I MADE PPL LEAVE!..LOL ! Split between servers indy.in.us.dal.net and jade.va.us.dal.net * Wolvengeddi chuckles * Silvermist chuckles and fluffles Dral gently. # SilverFang changes mode: -v Wolvengeddi I made 2 ppl leave:P ick.... re TBW. *snugs* # jade.va.us.dal.net changes mode: +mi while Dral is gloating over the impact his poem had... *grin*...Silvermist has another offering for us, entitled Teller of Tales. Misty? # SilverFang changes mode: +v Silvermist * Silvermist glides foreword again, "I warn you, the title feels very inadequate to the poem...so if you have a better one, please tell me." I sit within the darkened room Softly sighing in the shadowy gloom. Faces come; long forgotten or never seen I ask myself, "What does this mean?" A name, a picture, a tale to be told Some are newer, some quite old. Each one is special, even if unknown In every one a seed to be sown Names and faces, forgotten lore I go willingly about the chore I have deeds to record, tales to tell Each ringing clearly like a bell I know them all within my heart Each tale told does a new one start. --end-- # SilverFang changes mode: -mi I like that... now that was good...and btw...I would name it Seeds * Silvermist smiles and glides back into the shadows. * Thunderwing and K'sulitan like it *grins* * Wolvengeddi will brb # SilverFang changes mode: -v Silvermist Thanks, Aunt, Uncle.... Very good, Aunt. *hugs* * SilverFang looks around the room. * TheBlueWizard applauds is there anyone else at all who'd like to read for us? * Wolvengeddi looks around someone...anyone??? * Silvermist only had the two...... guess not. in that case, we have just 2 more poems tonight... K'sulitan wants to read something..... using my nick... :) * Silvermist smiles at her Uncle hiding behind her Aunt. oh, thank you... * Wolvengeddi chuckles * SilverFang calls Thunderwing up to read, then. # SilverFang changes mode: +v Thunderwing # SilverFang changes mode: +mi ok....this one doesn't have a title but is kinda short.... --ahem-- The world, so clear and yet so cloudy, ever eludes the grasp of one's understanding. All people strive to learn about their existence. Yet, all words can never fully describe it. So our efforts, though heroic, are in vain. Always causing more harm than good. --end-- # SilverFang changes mode: -mi I like it....it makes one think. *smile* * Wolvengeddi liked that one....very much that is so very true...and clearly stated. I like that. * TheBlueWizard applauds thank you makes sense Salutations Uncle. *snugs* hiya dh hi dh *hugz* hiya DH! dh...just in time. :> aloha any space left? sure thing DH *huggles* yes,...I believe so Of course, Uncle....*smile* * SilverFang grins at the changes in the works. K'sulitan says if you need another poem just holler. :) that would be greatly appreciated. er....whats going on?? * SilverFang is tempted to clap her hands in glee, but restrains herself. * Wolvengeddi looks around Wolvengeddi....we just got more poems added to the agenda is what....*grin* seems we're not quite through after all. :P...I see that dearie....just wonder whats taking so long... * Kreldon will be back in a second -- rebooting just working a couple more poems into the order...sorry about the necessary delay. anyway, we've got it worked out now, and our next poet will be DH, with his Two Now One. # SilverFang changes mode: +mi [dh] > -----------------Two - Now One------------------------------- [dh] > > the stars shine brightly down on us [dh] > > as we sit entwined watching their dance [dh] > > no music but the wind amidst the leaves [dh] > > and the purring of the dragonlovers [dh] > > her eyes sparkling up at his [dh] > > two stars that have fallen to brighten his life [dh] > > he holds her close his wings a shield [dh] > > their grip an embrace that will last forever [dh] > > his heart pounding strength within his chest [dh] > > beats softly with hers a matching rythm of life [dh] > > her touch make the life within him flame up [dh] > > and sets his eyes to burning - flames of love for her [dh] > > their touch caresses her touching heart and soul [dh] > > as a magical glow surrounds them [dh] > > holding them in its grasp [dh] > > as a flickering new star of love [dh] > > shines forth from below to greet its partners above [dh] > > as the fires of love melt them till they pour into each other [dh] > > no longer two - now one [dh] > > till all the stars burnout [dh] > > leaving only them and their love [dh] > > entwined and shining bright [dh] > > -----------------------------end---------------- [dh] that is another left over love poem from last week :> [dh] end *** Mode change [-mi] on channel #afd_poetry by dh That's sweet. *big smile* wow... * TheBlueWizard applauds * Wolvengeddi smiles... * Thunderwing grins *** Kreldon (comstosf@h137239.dorm.clarkson.edu) has joined channel #afd_poetry re Krel. *snugs* heya krel re, Kreldon.

I have one lasty poem tonight...it's called Life Comes in the Morning. * SilverFang eats the stray y, and takes the podium for the last time tonight. Hear me, if you dare, And I shall speak to you Of soft terror, Of a child's grown-up fears And silent tears Shed in the uncaring dark Of countless nights Spent in loneliness, Wishing for the release of death. Look into my eyes, And you may yet see, Behind the screen Of a careful smile, The remembered sweet ache Of opened veins; Floors slicked with my heart's flow Empty vials That only served to pour salt On the raw wound That was the knowledge of failure... Life came again in the morning. . Listen to me, And you will hear The echo of my screams: Feel the pain Of a throat worn to silence. . Know me, And you will have only The knowledge Of forfeited joy, Of life deferred And love come too late For redemption... Of frailty, and cruelty, And harm taken At the hands of supposed protectors; Damage done By those who should Have been first to heal... Of life held in contempt, Of death courted ardently, And even that respite denied. . Hear me, then, if you dare... Life came again in the morning, And pain walked beside it... \And the days marched on, And now I am grown, But still those days will never be gone; Their taint corrupts me still, And no amount of time Will wash the least of those stains away. . Hear me...but then, Let me sleep. The night lingers on in my heart, And life comes again in the morning. END. that's okay...just glad you're back. :> [dh] huggles hun * SilverFang yields her place at the microphone, laughing at her oen mistake.

A joy is created, for all to see, bringing us together, through eternity. The flame burns brightly, beyond all control, fulfilling our desires, flooding our souls. And yet it must end, destroying our bond, cleaving forever, that which we found. ---END---- *** Mode change [-mi] on channel #afd_poetry by dh * FaerieBrood smiles * Silvermist smiles.
