A Poet's Insanity

Here is my latest poem which talks about how insane my dreams are :D

A Poet's Insanity

Send me beyond the clouds and lay me down
Beneath the twilight where the sun meets the moon
Somewhere among the stars my soul is set to drown
Maybe it is a dream, so don't wake me up too soon

Let me dream and be whoever I want to be
Maybe I will be the darkness when the night falls
Or I will be the light to set the world free
Or the sun hiding behind some shattered walls

Visions of me falling along side the pouring rain
Or travel like the clouds in slow motion
And probably you are thinking that I am insane
Then watch me dive in the sky's deepest ocean

I may even drown in a small drop of tear
Sail the seas among the brownness of my lover’s eyes
Or sit on the palms of the tender hands I revere
Hopeless dreams, I know, but who said poets are wise?

Song Of The Week: The River

This song is one of my favorites for "Garth Brooks" who is already a legend in country music.
I hope you all like it :)

The River (Click on the title to go to the song page)


You know a dream is like a river
Everchanging as it flows
And the dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...

And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry...

Poem Of The Week: The Captive Dove

This poem is by one of the 3 Bronte Sisters who all have lived a short but rich life. "The Captive Dove" by "Anne Bronte"

Poor restless dove, I pity thee;
And when I hear thy plaintive moan,
I mourn for thy captivity,
And in thy woes forget mine own.

To see thee stand prepared to fly,
And flap those useless wings of thine,
And gaze into the distant sky,
Would melt a harder heart than mine.

In vain ­ in vain! Thou canst not rise:
Thy prison roof confines thee there;
Its slender wires delude thine eyes,
And quench thy longings with despair.

Oh, thou wert made to wander free
In sunny mead and shady grove,
And, far beyond the rolling sea,
In distant climes, at will to rove!

Yet, hadst thou but one gentle mate
Thy little drooping heart to cheer,
And share with thee thy captive state,
Thou couldst be happy even there.

Yes, even there, if, listening by,
One faithful dear companion stood,
While gazing on her full bright eye,
Thou mightst forget thy native wood.

But thou, poor solitary dove,
Must make, unheard, thy joyless moan;
The heart, that Nature formed to love,
Must pine, neglected, and alone.

A Winter Night’s Poem

Before any of you say anything, I know we are in the middle of summer now so don't think that I am crazy writing poems about winter. The story is that I started writing it in winter and I only managed to finish it during last weekend.

A Winter Night’s Poem

A black owl howling outside the cottage
With a sound sending shivers to the spine
A broken heart pulled out form the wreckage
God only knows if it yours or it is mine

Very cold is the night in this winter season
It seems that the warmth has disappeared in the dark
And people are being hurt without a reason
Even the smallest wound leaves a mark

We hear a silent cry from a lost soul
The cry for help and the need to be found
And of our lives we try to be in control
Since we were born and until we are laid in the ground

We have lost the purpose and fallen into the abyss
And we tend to sweet cover most of our crimes
Alone we stay still and we reminisce
All the mistakes we have done in the past times

Song Of The Week: Do You Dream of Me?

Hello,
The song for this week is a very very romantic song from "Michael W. Smith" and I am sure not many of you heard of him :D


Do You Dream of Me (Click on the title to listen to the song)

Dreams within the still of night
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
There upon the distant shore
We want for nothing more that what will be
And you and I, here we are
I wonder as we've come this far...

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

Love has found a magic space
A deep and hidden place
Where time stands still
Now I hold you in my arms
You know you hold my heart, and always will

And you and I, here we are
And it's a wonder that we've come this far

And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?

Top 10 Albums Titles According to Me

The main reason we buy an album is of course the band or the artist that the album belongs to. But did anybody buy an album just because he or she liked the title of that album?? I think I have did it once or twice and made the risk of buying an album for a band I never heard of which is rare because I know most of the famous bands and artists :P

So here are the top 10 albums titles according to me:

10. Boats Against the Current - Eric Carmen
9. Photographs & Memories - Jim Croce
8. Yourself Or Someone Like You - Matchbox 20
7. Breathless - Kenny G
6. Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
5. News From Nowhere - Air Supply
4. My Own Best Enemy - Richard Marx
3. This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours - Manic Street Preachers
2. Through the Looking Glass - Toto
1. Painted Desert Serenade - Joshua Kadison

I might have forgotten another titles that I really like but these what I could think of when writing this post!

Your Name

Here is my latest poem and it is called "Your Name" ^.^



Let the flowers whisper your name
With every passing breeze
While the birds sing your name
When they fly among the trees

The mountains will joyfully dance
To the rhythm of your name
And the stars will take a glance
At the beauty of your name

All the letters in your name
Sparkle and shine in the darkness
And all the names beside your name
Vanish and fade out in silence

And be sure that I would write
A poem about your name
And recite it upon the night
Until the dawn memorizes your name

Poem Of The Week :The Call

The poem for this week is "The Call" for "Rupert Brooke" and please don't confuse this poem with the song that has the same title from Backstreet Boys :p


Out of the nothingness of sleep,
The slow dreams of Eternity,
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me.

I broke the Night's primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!

The eternal silences were broken;
Hell became Heaven as I passed. --
What shall I give you as a token,
A sign that we have met, at last?

I'll break and forge the stars anew,
Shatter the heavens with a song;
Immortal in my love for you,
Because I love you, very strong.

Your mouth shall mock the old and wise,
Your laugh shall fill the world with flame,
I'll write upon the shrinking skies
The scarlet splendour of your name,

Till Heaven cracks, and Hell thereunder
Dies in her ultimate mad fire,
And darkness falls, with scornful thunder,
On dreams of men and men's desire.

Then only in the empty spaces,
Death, walking very silently,
Shall fear the glory of our faces
Through all the dark infinity.

So, clothed about with perfect love,
The eternal end shall find us one,
Alone above the Night, above
The dust of the dead gods, alone.

Night by the Ocean

Finally I have managed to finish a poem and it didn't take me more than two days to finish this one! While I have unfinished poems that I have started writing before months but for a reason or another I am stuck in the middle!
Anyway this poem is called "Night by the Ocean" though I have never seen any ocean in my life before :P




The hasty waves of the ocean
Washes away the footprints on the sand
And the cold breeze moving in slow motion
Strikes my face and does not stop where I stand
It goes on and it is like a healing potion
Prescribed for the broken hearted land

And when the ocean embraces the shore
Like a hopeless lover waiting to belong
The sky is joyous like never before
While the ocean's waves sing a song
Such a perfect scene is impossible to ignore
A hopeless poet like me cannot but write along

On the page of water, reflection of the moon
So clear, sending comfort to the wondering eye
And the stars dance to a lovely tune
Played by the water, sand and the sky
But all of that is going to end so soon
When the morning breathes its first sigh
