  1. "Like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them."


  2. If there's a king

    There's always a queen

    If there's you

    There's always me

    If you say "run"

    I ask how far?

    If you say "swim"

    I ask how deep?

    If you say "leave me"

    I say "NEVER"

    Because we are meant for each other.

    Haha! Very corny!!! And childish!

    Actually I made this poem when I was a sophomore in high school and gave the original to my girlfriend before. You see! I'm such a shy boy when I was a kid. You can notice it that I never mentioned the word "love" in my poem. I just hide it from it's meaning. Instead of saying "I will love you forever" I replaced it with "Because we are meant for each other" thing just to slightly twist it! Because for me that time, to mention the word "love" makes me shy, I don't understand but I really am.

  3. Yes it is and it's called the saddest girl in the world' and my sister wrote it long ago about me..

  4. In a round about way, maybe my state of mind on how I view the world.

    The Genius Of The Crowd

      

    there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average

    human being to supply any given army on any given day

    and the best at murder are those who preach against it

    and the best at hate are those who preach love

    and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

    those who preach god, need god

    those who preach peace do not have peace

    those who preach peace do not have love

    beware the preachers

    beware the knowers

    beware those who are always reading books

    beware those who either detest poverty

    or are proud of it

    beware those quick to praise

    for they need praise in return

    beware those who are quick to censor

    they are afraid of what they do not know

    beware those who seek constant crowds for

    they are nothing alone

    beware the average man the average woman

    beware their love, their love is average

    seeks average

    but there is genius in their hatred

    there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you

    to kill anybody

    not wanting solitude

    not understanding solitude

    they will attempt to destroy anything

    that differs from their own

    not being able to create art

    they will not understand art

    they will consider their failure as creators

    only as a failure of the world

    not being able to love fully

    they will believe your love incomplete

    and then they will hate you

    and their hatred will be perfect

    like a shining diamond

    like a knife

    like a mountain

    like a tiger

    like hemlock

    their finest art



    By Charles Bukowski

  5. I'm sure there's one out there. I just haven't come across it.

  6. If Gypsy Rose Lee has a poem about her...that's me!

    But, tired of roaming around!

  7. Yes and it was written just for me by one of my favorite writers.

    Edwin Caudill

  8. once upon a december.i dont know who its by and im pretty sure its a song.lol.but i love it

  9. This doesnt describe me at all,

    Well it does,

    in a way that my life hasnt been the best.:

    The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

    And sorry I could not travel both

    And be one traveler, long I stood

    And looked down one as far as I could

    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,

    And having perhaps the better claim,

    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

    Though as for that the passing there

    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay

    In leaves no step had trodden black.

    Oh, I kept the first for another day!

    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh

    Somewhere ages and ages hence:

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

    I took the one less traveled by,

    And that has made all the difference.

    but this poem,

    is more about me and other parts of my life:

    Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou

    We, unaccustomed to courage

    exiles from delight

    live coiled in shells of loneliness

    until love leaves its high holy temple

    and comes into our sight

    to liberate us into life.

    Love arrives

    and in its train come ecstasies

    old memories of pleasure

    ancient histories of pain.

    Yet if we are bold,

    love strikes away the chains of fear

    from our souls.

    We are weaned from our timidity

    In the flush of love's light

    we dare be brave

    And suddenly we see

    that love costs all we are

    and will ever be.

    Yet it is only love

    which sets us free.

  10. People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centred

    ... love them anyway.

    If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives

    ... do good anyway.

    If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies

    ... be successful anyway.

    The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow

    ... do good anyway.

    Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable

    ... be honest and frank anyway.

    People love underdogs but follow only top dogs

    ... follow some underdog anyway.

    What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight

    ... build anyway.

    People really need help but may attack you if you try to help

    ... help people anyway.

    If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth

    ... but give the world the best you have

    ... Anyway.

  11. Erat Hora (It is the hour) - Ezra Pound

    "Thank you, whatever comes." And then she turned

    And, as the ray of sun on hanging flowers

    Fades when the wind hath lifted them aside,

    Went swiftly from me.

    Nay, whatever comes

    One hour was sunlit and the most high gods

    May not make boast of any better thing

    Than to have watched that hour as it passed.

  12. Yup! Here it is:

  13. Me? A fool?It must be a joke.

    What is it that you've had to smoke?

    Could it be those few tell-tale tokes,

    that allows you to come up with hoax?

    What goals you've reached?

    What kingdoms you rule?

    Who are you to call me a fool?
