so, you're from sunny florida? if you really are so unsatisfied by that place
where you're living in, we should exchange our home places...

but honestly, germany sucks after living there for 27 years, i can tell you!

i've never been to florida yet. only in new york and new jersey where my relatives
live, and it's really nice there. not as warm as in florida, though, but still acceptable...

I've been to Austria, Italy, and Germany.

I like it there, so sure, let's trade k:

I went without electricity for nearly two months this summer. Hurricanes hit every five seconds. I'm sure you'll love it.

I'm only 14 years there, but it sucks all the same. Raining most of the time, and icy cold in the winter...

The heart-leadenness,
Which falls
So sweetly,
Drips from your heart -
Telling me to run,
To find a cup
To hold the hurt in.

My fingertips
Wished for
The comfort
Of your soothing
But it was strangely
Fleeting.

I find the path
That struck my foot
Telling me
Where to go
What to take
Who to love -
It tells me:
You are there.


Note: If you're using a dictionary, don't bother to look up "heart-leadenness." I made it up. :angel: It's meant to give the impression "heavy hearted," which means "extreme sadness."

again, a very expressive piece of poetry!!

allow me a question: why are your poems sounding so "sad"?

maybe my level of english lacks the appropriate ability of interpretation,
but somehow these works appear to have a sad message in them...

are you only writing poems when you feel a little down?

perhaps i'm only misinterpreting the core-meaning of the poems....

[taikara]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your English.

Normally, I write poetry when I'm sad or angry. And usually, I'm angry because I'm sad.

I don't like feeling sad or angry, and I typically don't like burdening other people with it, either. So, the only way to get it out is to write about it. Then, later, if people show an interest, I share it. That way, the core feelings are already gone, and it doesn't hurt anyone, or make anybody feel bad, because the problem has already taken care of itself.

I typically only write poetry after a breakup, or after a friend has let me down, so it's usually some pathetic drivel about how love sucks

I put words together pretty well, but I have really boring subject matter. I should try to write about other things than just broken hearts.

I do, however, keep a blog :whistle:

It covers a wider range of things than just sadness. I'm working on putting a site together where I can post my blogs and my music. If I can get a music studio program that's not complete junk, that is. I've already registered the site, but there's nothing up right now.

I've been thinking about posting some lyrics here in the meantime....

Again a great poem. Tai, you're "floating above the clouds", like this could be called, right?

Yes... something less cliché,
The happy happy love? :blink:

Seriously,
The best poems always come from feelings,
(The way, I believe, you´ve wrote them)
Pure love, hate, loneliness?

You should write only when you feel like writing & of what you feel like writing,
For trying to write about something that isn´t "bubbling" inside just then,
Has usually the tendency to be written as noticeable reluctant words,
(If that makes any sense)

/ I might be wrong though /

Anyways,
Your poems are amazingly well written,
And I still can´t but be in the awe of your verbal talents /-

i totally disagree!! your subjects of poetry are by no means "boring"!! how dare you
say that? i was only a little bit confused because in general you don't seem to be
such a sad person at all, and thus you contradict the basic expressions of your poems
somehow.

but through your explanation of how and when you write them, i understand your
point very well.

BTW: i (and for sure not only i) would be very eager to get some deeper insights
into your blog and stuff, so please make sure to tell us when your site is available.

of course you can ask any time when you should need (technical) advise/help in
doing that...

He was the first asking that, but I wanted to ask the same. Your writings are very beautiful. Don't call it boring.
