The Beauty of What we Were

I’d like to share a poem I wrote from a lecture given by Deepak Chopra a few years back



The Beauty of What we Were



The beauty of what we were,

before we were born,

will never die.



Dreams created eons ago,

on playgrounds and backyards.

Lil' boys and girls,

playing house,

raising their children -

Ken and Barbie.



The beauty of what we were,

before we were born,

will never die.



From childhood… Continue

The Woman Who Lit the Smoking Poet's Cigar

(Author and editor-in-chief Zinta Aistars)





Writing professional reviews about the works of other creative artists is an art form in itself, and few have mastered that art form so brilliantly as Zinta Aistars, the author of three books composed in the Latvian language and the much adored editor-in-chief of THE SMOKING POET E-zine. Ms. Aistars' most recent contribution to this specialized literary craft focuses on a title that…

What is success?

No matter what I do, I just can't seem to figure out this thing called - "success."

I think as long as I live, I will try to be a "success." I have a good idea of what the term means to me, but, the family I grew up in, pictures success as cash in the bank, money in stocks, a fancy home (or two), driving new vechiles, the list can go on forever. You get the picture. But as you chase that dream of success, what do you get? I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever know. I'd be lying if I said… Continue

Another time another place

Forgotten dreams,a promise

left undone

love lies broken as sets the sun

yesterdays passion

so fragile life wasted

born on wings of words in

desire

spoken in want lust satisfied

the heart lays bleeding

tomorrow is stollen thieved

as a burgler in the night

we waite in viegn expectations lost

the ghost of yesterday

haunts all out new days

one day becomes the same

as the day… Continue

DRAGON cont'd



The huge emerald eyes opened but Rawgarth remained motionless.



nostrils twitched as the foul odour of the trolls assailed them. Sinewy muscled tensed, coiled ready, razor claws spread, sharp and deadly.



Trolls swarmed over the mountains edge,red eyes blazing, green teeth snarling dripping with acrid saliva., foul smelling breath streaming from gaping jaws.



A mighty roar escaped from Rawgarths throat shaking the… Continue

A Vampyre Love Poem...

Vampyre Love Poem

By Sara L. Russell, 18:10, 14/2/09

(first posted on Vampirefreaks.com, 14/2/09)






Oh come my beautiful and darkly-shining,

Release me from the thirst of love's desire;

Half hidden now, the cloud-veiled moon is rising

To shine when we are joined in passion's fire.

The moonlight ripples out across the water,

All's quiet beneath the star-bejewelled sky,

As shadow lord embraces twilight's daughter,

Speaking her… Continue

SHE, HE and HIM

She gave He what wasn’t his to have

She felt such a strong attraction to He

But it was He that would lead her to Him

But She didn’t see the signs

She didn’t hold out

And gave He her

Now Him will have to clean

up the mess that He made

Him will have to gain She trust

Him will have to tear down

the wall She now has up

Make her smile every time She is with Him

And not cry every She sees He

He played on her insecurities

He said… Continue

MORALS OR PLEASURE?

A proposition made

The terms accepted

She had second thoughts

He moved on

Her mind released him

But she forgot her heart

He won't give it back

He plays on its strings

She's always left in tears

Because of her fears

She has carried round for years

She can have it back

Under certain conditions

But she wants him with it

And that she can't have

Cause he wants to keep his… Continue

I shall die for you



I shall die for you,

if it means that I shall bring the end of a suffering for you,

to recompense the time lost in a grieving time for you.



I shall die for you,

if it means that I shall help to take away the pain of disgrace,

that with injustice was brought upon you,

in the spirit of malice or spurn,

simply so that a soul of malice could see your heart burn.



I shall die for you,

if it… Continue
