Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hajimemashite and konnichiwa!!! I'm LadyLilith! *curtsy* heehee! whee This is my poetry forum. Welcome, and please feel free to comment to tell me how you feel about the poems, or if you have any ideas for me. I've changed this forum a little because I felt it needed to be a bit more organized, don't you think? 3nodding Now all the poems will be on the first post. Domo arigato for your support and feedback!

This one doesn't have a name. It's a little abstract, but I like it.


your eyes
are so cold
in the light

in the blue-grey haze
you're always by my side

it's a

temporary reflection
of the note behind the key and
the ink behind the pen and
the tear behind the eye and
the smile on my face and
the time you looked at me

~a kind of prism where hate is twisted into love and tears never find their way to the sun ~




If Only

If only, if only
I could sail on a ship with gold-purple sails
With naught but lilies as her cargo
I would dance in the wind, I would dance in the sun
With no idle cares left to haunt me

If only, if only
I could stand on a stage with lanterns of lace
With no one but stones to attend
I would dance in the light, I would dance in the shadows
With no idle cares left to haunt me

If only, if only
I could sleep in a ages-old forest
With garlands of leaves as her crown
I would dance for the people, I'd dance for the world
With no more idle cares left to haunt me

If only, if only.




I Cry

I cry
How can I not in the light of such ruthless eyes
I cry
Knowing that everything you ever said was a lie

Do you remember when
You smiled at me
Sang a song
And set my heart free

I laugh
How can I not when your lips are so close to mine
I laugh
Knowing that this will just grow in time

Do you remember when
You screamed to the sky,
Let me be
Why, oh why, oh why

I smile
Thinking, God has condemned us to suffer fate
I smile
Knowing my love for you could never melt into hate

I cry
How can I not when I feel so alone of late
I cry
Knowing my love for you could never melt back into hate.


Another nameless one! Ah, well. Forgive me.

If I could reach inside your mind
And take out your heart
Maybe I would, or maybe I wouldn't
But I can try

I'd answer the questions burning inside
I'd look in your eyes and
Pry out the lies
Only then

Only then could I open my heart
To what you're willing
Or not
To give me



Maybe One Day

Ruefully I smile
Tuck some hair behind my ear
And shake it out again
My moods change so often
As the boy beside me constantly reminds me

Sometimes light filters through my eyes
And I see
A world filled with songs and the deep chords of love
Then it turns
To a world so scarred I can hardly look away
Refuse to wipe the window pane, saying
"This world looks better to me behind
A frosted filigree,
That hides the bitter ugliness from me."

And then I see you
I humor myself by imagining you feel the same
I watch you laugh and your eyes fill with light
Then you're gone
Inside your mind and your pages and your thick dark hair

Maybe one day
We can catch each other dancing in the light
Before we drift into shadow
Maybe one day
We can see our smiles through a clear pane
Maybe one day
(Am i crazy?)
We can fly through the shafts of day
And then
Maybe we'll understand


The Last Time

Is this the last time
Is this the last time we'll sit here and laugh
Like this
Is this the first time
Is this the first time we've realized how much it means
To be
One and the same?

I can only hope
As you embark on new journeys
And leave us behind
That we can hold this moment in our hearts.

I know we pretend to drag it out,
And deny the truth.
But when we're all done sighing and looking away
It's true
We've got to savor today

Another joke,
Another smile,
Another excuse to remain here a while
I close my eyes
And my heart fills with the warmth that comes
From a lovely sadness

I will try
To take your place
I will try
To stay the name
I will try
To stay the same
I will try
Don't go away
I will try
Please stay this way....
