Just wrote this right now...

[samanthayeoqy]

true I think...
what about drawings, music and novels? Which one you think it's easier to touch with depressing parts or happy parts?

Hmm... have you ever tried manga and anime or some other things that allows us to get addicted to? like this place.... I personally vote for manga as I really like the part when I chase after the stories with or without laggy internet. Aim for the funny and ongoing mangas like SKIP BEAT (it's dang funny, read from the first page *do not skip*) ... it's kinda fun. Chatting with you guys are really fun.

So practically I'm an addict.
1)to teenhut
2)to mangas
3)food etc... *grin*

Here's a link for an online reader for skip beat. replace (dot) with .

I think it greatly depends on your state of mind. Drawings are easy for both. You can draw a picture of nature or anything you like and it'll be happy, or you can draw a place you hare or a monster in your dreams. Music is basically poetry, so happy can work - but anger is easier. Novels are like art, it depends on what you write... they tend to break even though. Too much of either gets boring.

I'm not really into manga or anime. Thanks for sharing, though.

Hmmm to think about it... I rarely read stories that have poetry inside it.. *if we ignore the part of prophecy or legends or plays* I never seem to find any. Have any idea or recommendation?

Lol

If you've ever read any of my shit, you'll see theres always a hint of psychosis.

:3

You aren't very subtle about it actually.

[Blondstrom]

So, things kind of happened and it got a little worse. So I wrote something else, but again it's not happy.


Why I'm Afraid of Happy

I'm afraid of happy because the fall is too deep
You get picked up, and then swept off your feet
Nobody really judges each smile they get
Not until they're left with a pit of regret

Back in the summer, after I fell pretty hard
That first sign of fall and that chill morning air
The smile found it's place, and I sighed with relief
Only to be struck with a traumatizing grief

Those forty-four men, plus the one who survived
That terrible day, why was I still alive?
So many heroes - fathers, and sons
And there I was smiling over cold, frosty air

I'm afraid of happy because karma's a bitch
Clearly I don't deserve it; I have some kind of glitch
Nothing is real, no happy will stay
The good feelings fade, but the pain won't go away

I'm afraid of happy because things never change.

(And I was feeling good this morning)

[Blondstrom]

This one isn't so depressing, but it's not exactly happy. I'll probably revise it later, make it connect a little more but here you go.



Her wistful eyes and her soft, rose lips
a soul, alone; the yearn for that forgotten poem
Delicate like a flower, she flounders within her thoughts

The need to be loved by not just anyone is filling her on empty
I see the hope as it dwindles past to almost just a fear of the unknown
The fear, it festers and fills her thoughts; breaking her dreams in two

I love her so deeply, yet she doesn't see me; I'm buried underneath these words
Our souls share a vibe and I want it to thrive, but alas, it's not to be
Romanticism runs deep, but the tragic's so meek that it layers thick and steep

My wish is ungranted, our lives left apart but joy! We are still in tune
Her wisdom's my pleasure, I wish it forever and I sing her song to the moon
So gentle in life, understanding and pure - despite her flaws a plenty

If only to save her, my heart's greatest favour and I shall ask of nothing more
For I'm still enamoured and I would just stammer; nothing more shall leave these lips
The silence, a blessing and my eyes will grow sightless, for her beauty eclipses all sight

And I will be fine, just laying this rhyme for all but her to see.

...

[J Slim]

This shit deep as fuck...

[Blondstrom]

This isn't a poem, but here it goes.


You feel the vibrations off the wood, coming from the keys as they're pressed by her soft, slender hands - fingers flicking and hiting the notes.

Eyes intense, they do not see you - in her own world. Like Liszt, her music is pleasure and it goes on forever.

Until it stops.

The stop, longer than a pause between sheets or pieces she plays.
A stop can be the end.

Lucky is that it will be the beginning of a new tune
a solo symphony of love and hope.

Right then, she'll look into your eyes and you'll see what beauty really is.
Intensified by the swirling sounds as her fingers tap the bars from memory.

Your heart drops.

Sinks in and follows her where ever she wishes to take you
beyond the field of dreams.

Together at last ~ forever.

[Blondstrom]

Just a little thing I wrote this morning after talking to her.


Thoughts racing,
I thought that you were the one
Heart aching
You said it can't be done
Together at last
But only in my dreams
A simple dream
Though how silly it seems
To be with you
I'd spend my life in sleep

This is interesting. Can I have a backstory please?

As you've probably guessed, I'm in love with someone I'm not with and the other night I had a dream we were together, then got a call from her yesterday and it was a little weird, but reminded me of how I felt in the dream vs. knowing we'll probably never be together.

It's kind of lame, but I miss her.

Is it an issue of distance? Or one person having feelings, while the other doesn't?

Mostly distance. We talked about being together before, and I've told her how I feel about her, but we eventually decided a relationship isn't fair for either of us. She lives in the US, I'm in Canada. We chat and Skype sometimes, but it's nothing like in person.

I'm sure she isn't as in love with me as I am with her, but she's admitted she likes me and would go out if it weren't for proximity. We have some mutual friends, too, so we're actually planning a meet up next summer, and potentially some NHL events, but who knows.

For now, I'm just reading romantic poetry, hoping that one day things will come together. With her, or someone else.

Ah, that's too bad. Hopefully you can make good of that potential meet up
