Elfen Shew was a spanish weaver,and I used him figuratively.

Faerie,this was a typyin error,I meant ferry.

Nnilla,thanks for the compliment.

THE PERFECT ROSE




The forge , part 1


On a Wing of Lovers Dreams

Down the Spiral of our mind

Many beauteous Crystal Scenes

Unfold, the Perfect land to find




At Rainbows end the perfect Gems

Create new colours, Never seen

By a Human eye, ne'ere Aeons when

The gods reflect such happenings been




There yonder Heavens marbled Gate

The Womb of precious Gossamer Thread

Wherein the Melt of lovers fate

With God's great heart is truly Wed




The Union of the Sweetness melt

Of all that's Pure in flakes sublime

Love himself in Passion felt

To blend and merge his Hall of Time




So to this Crystal Womb of Light

All that Mankind as Precious knows

To faerie weave in Laughter bright

This one, this only, Perfect Rose




So look upon this Perfect Rose

No words describe, no perfect Prose

Come near the Beauty of this flower

Cast by Love's hand, in Lovers Bower




The loss , part 2




Now we have the Perfect Rose

Graft to Earth by lover's hand

Woven in by Elfen Shews

Of Beauty Bright, to grace the land




And Rose roots in, perfection bright

Blood Hue sights, to Light the world

A World in need, as Humans fight

To possess the Whole that sight unfurled




Greed fuels the mighty, feeds the lance

Produces bombs, in fight for Rose

Obscures, with smoke, the lovers dance

And blasts to bits perfection's pose




Lovers Anger now abate

Just grief at little Root remains

Scattered in bits by Cruel Hate

Love is broken, scattered, pains




War does reign and pain arise

Scattered wide the Rosen bits

Softly salved by Victim sighs

And hidden deep by Brutal Hits




Here in us, a Petal Half

Buried deep, doth Love impart

In hazy Quest to Lover seek

The Petal Half which makes complete




The return , part 3




Man and Woman halfen each

Fallen from the Heavens above

Half a Rose's Petal reach

To touch the Heights of gracious love




Quest on Earth to seek the Other

Halves to meet, complete and whole

Lovesong rise in the Heartbeats flutter

To seek the whole Creation Soul




Jigsaw bits to fit together

Perfect Whole in Love, replete

Lovers call to Be Forever

A perfect marriage, peace complete




Now I have met you, Perfect One

Holder of the other part

Eyes reflects the Gossamer Womb

Where we were forged by Lover's Heart




I see the Teardrop in your eye

Reflect the Pain of World all-round

See children hurt and parent cry

As brutal man does Mercy pound




But joined together we must start

The lovers Peace to World impart

Loveheart healing all world woes

Joined, the Perfect Petals pledge , this

Shining, Lovely, Perfect Rose.

This is one of my best poems, cuz it won me a prize in a contest.It can of long though.Part 1 to 3

ya Nnilla,I meant judge.

The best poet in this thread so far in my opinion is franc1982,though,I've not commend any of his poem,but the guy is good.Franc,Keep writing,someone is appreciating ur work.

angelstone:

i sit and listen
to the lyrics
judgeing by the standard
so thoughtful of heart
wish we could do more
love life to its fullest
wish we could say more
not music just poetry
the stars as it shines
the twinkle excites
the soul ignites
as poetry flows tonight
a night of bliss
pure pleasure
so glad for poetry
so glad to life

How did u come about this? I copied it in my diary.it really cool.

love Defined

What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?

So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

copy write. - Matt Dubois

I love this poem.

My Love

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender

Am not a good love poet.

I was introduced to hip-hop when I was this short
Still short I'm still being introduced to hip-hop
Street talk ain't 4 me; u educated riff-raff
I laugh when I hear most of your rhymes laced with gang stuff
Hip-hop is of the mind, and of the soul
Let the music hit u; notes of the cleff stave take control
U ignoramus; your music stinks worse than your anus
your bane is, u think ure famous and that thats all the game is
C'mon, even the earth feels my music
The leaves shake, and the clouds bounce 2 it
I duet with the birds singing earth's chords
And u curse because u fear u've rhymed your last verse
This is an art and walahi ive played my part
I'm an artist to the core and im going to say it 1ce more
this is an art and walahi ive played my part
I'm an artiste to the core and ure going to admit it 1ce and 4 all


2)
Hip-hop dresses up like a flower
Her virginity gives me the power
To drum, dream in her arms
Every night I'm re-seduced by her charms
9-5 I'm in cloud 9
It's like being on a constant drug high
I fly and I float without ever having to roll or choke
And u, unitiated who never drank in the pleasures of hip-hop
Ask me to do battle with u, blasphemy unprecedented
We're like Jesus and Judas
Joseph 'n' his brothers
Oedipus and his father
A tragedy together , forever
Come on, even the angels feel my music
They back me up and then they bounce their wings to it
I duet with the fishes in the sea and they sing with me
Can't u see that history
Is being fulfilled in your very eyes
I was prophesied, foretold, told about and still u refuse to see it
This is an art and[b][/b]"Walahi" I've played my part
I'm an artiste to the core and ure going to say it 1ce and for all
This is an art and [b][/b]"Walahi" I've played my part
I'm an artiste to the core and ure going to admit it 1ce and for all

I AM AN AFRICAN.

I am an African
Not because I was born there
But because my heart beats with Africa’s
I am an African
Not because my skin is black
But because my mind is engaged by Africa
I am an African
Not because I live on its soil
But because my soul is at home in Africa

When Africa weeps for her children
My cheeks are stained with tears
When Africa honours her elders
My head is bowed in respect
When Africa mourns for her victims
My hands are joined in prayer
When Africa celebrates her triumphs
My feet are alive with dancing

I am an African
For her blue skies take my breath away
And my hope for the future is bright
I am an African
For her people greet me as family
And teach me the meaning of community
I am an African
For her wildness quenches my spirit
And brings me closer to the source of life

When the music of Africa beats in the wind
My blood pulses to its rhythm
And I become the essence of music
When the colours of Africa dazzle in the sun
My senses drink in its rainbow
And I become the palette of nature
When the stories of Africa echo round the fire
My feet walk in its pathways
And I become the footprints of history

I am an African
Because she is the cradle of our birth
And nurtures an ancient wisdom
I am an African
Because she lives in the world’s shadow
And bursts with a radiant luminosity
I am an African
Because she is the land of tomorrow
And I recognise her gifts as sacred

I think I should have stumbled over this thread long ago.I so much love u guys. keep the poetic world alive.

beg to disagree with you, saintsam. In case you haven't noticed, somegirl, ChiluvGod and Nilla are all babes. And they have all put up poems.

And there are just a few poems here on love - I can only recollect one (perhaps you can show me the others?).

Your poems are a bit long. Perhaps you'd like to shorten them a bit? That might make them easier to read. I make these submissions with all due respect to your person.



Mr Genial we disagree to agree,maybe i did not come across a ladies poem.when I write poems,I dont have the desire of writing it 2 long,but the words  just flow,who am I mere mortal to stop it.it is from within.

ur poem is good.most people castigate those living with HIV/AIDS which is unfair.Well I wont blame those Castigating them because the way the diseases was introduced to us and hyped really scared us.Any how it is hard time will start encouraging these patients and preached abstinence,the surest well to fight this epidermic.

AFRICA COME BACK





Come Back, I've heard the surge of your drums
Come Back, my heart beats lasciviously

'Africa come back'

Come Back, I've raised my face out from the dust
Come Back, I've peeled off the pellicle of sorrow from my eyes
Come Back, I've snatched away my arms from the grip of pain
Come Back, I've wrenched apart the hasp of gloom

'Africa come back'

The shackle's clasps have made the mace too much to bear
So I've fashioned a mould by ripping the strap round my neck

'Africa come back'

The bear's death-eyes blaze in every lair
Enemy blood has reddened the negritude of night

'Africa come back'

The ground is pirouetting with me Africa
Rivers throbbing to the rhythm pouring out of the woods
I am Africa, your stature mirrors mine
I am you, my gait is the gait of your lions

'Africa come back'
Come stride like your lions
'Africa come back'




Am so proud of my colour.Nnilla,I would want to see ur poem.

DON’T CRY FOR ME AFRICA


Don’t cry for me Africa
Because I will never let you out of my mind
I hear your voices people of Africa
I hear your cries people of Africa
I see pain in your eyes people of Africa
It is hard to describe what you people of Africa are going through
Poverty strikes you all people of Africa
Don’t cry for me Africa
Because I will keep you in my prayers people of Africa
Power to the people of Africa
People of Africa lift your spirit higher
Lord is the light and truth people of Africa
The Lord sends you a message from his heart to you people of Africa
He said because I love you
I will answer your prayers
I hear your prayers
Don’t cry for me Africa
Because you have a friend that is the Lord
People of Africa continue doing the Lords work
Make a wish people of Africa
The people of Africa are looking at the Lord face to face
Lord here is no paradise
We dream a little dream said the people of Africa to the Lord
The People of Africa Pray that the Lord will give each other strength every day
Don’t cry for me Africa
Save the people of Africa
Strengthened the people of Africa each day
Because I’ll be there in your dreams people of Africa
The people of Africa tells The Lord how much they love him
Don’t cry for me Africa
Lord comes when you are ready people of Africa
Feelings you have for your Lord People of Africa
And I know you will never let it die
Nothing but flowers the people of Africa will plant in the sea shore for the Lord
Don’t cry for me Africa
The people of Africa needs hope to heal there land
The Lord rose up on you people of Africa
Don’t cry for me Africa
My heart will go on
Once I close this door of the ship I will sail across the Atlantic Sea
