"Heaven Online"

There's a land I go when I need to share
That's not on a map, yet exists everywhere.
A land of names without faces, a curious place.
A modern creation that's called cyberspace.
There's all creation of people with cute little names
Like Ronin, and Sandman and Rosebud and Flames.
Some are just snobs and some are real fun.
And some of them just want to find someone.
But both good and bad they all play a role.
Still each one unique, but part of the whole.
We talk and laugh and wonder why.
We flirt and we hug and sometimes we cry.
We can't be heard and can't be seen.
Yet, there it is, right on our screen.
But all in all the most curious part
Is the power it has to open our heart.
To share with a stranger those things we've concealed.
Which to our closest of friends we'd never reveal.
Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears.
The scars in our life, which bring us to tears.
What gives them the power to reach into me
And show me the truths that I never see.
How do they manage to open my eyes
And make me confess all the deceit and lies.
I don't understand this magical spell,
But I know that without it my life would be hell.
This must have been planned by the Goddess above,
'Cause there's no place on earth where you'll find as much love.
When I need direction I know I can find
Those angels from heaven just waiting online.

The Awakening

A time comes in your life when you finally get it?When in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes, you begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening. You realize that it?s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. You come to terms with the fact that I am not Prince Charming and you are not Cinderella and that in the real world there aren?t always fairy tail endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of ?happily ever after? must begin with you.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate of approve of who or what you are? and that?s OK. (They are entitled to their own views and opinions.) And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself and in the process, a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.

You stop bitching and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn?t do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected. You learn that people don?t always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and that it?s not always about you. So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance. You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties and in the process, a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.

You realise that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your thick head. And you begin to sift through all the crap you? ve been fed about how you should behave, how you should look and how much you should weigh, what you should wear and were you should shop and what you should drive, how and where you should live and what you should do for a living, who you should sleep with, who you should marry and what you should expect of a marriage, the importance of having and raising children or what you owe your parents.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for. You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you?ve outgrown, or should never have bought in to begin with and in the process you learn to go with your instincts.

You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a ?consumer? looking for your next fix. You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a gone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don?t know everything: it?s not your job to save the world and that you can?t teach a pig to sing. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say No. You learn that the only cross to bear is the on you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love. Romantic love and familial love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away. You learn not to project you needs or your feelings onto a relationship. You learn that you will not be more beautiful, more intelligent, more loveable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be.

You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn that just as people grow and change so it is with love?And you learn that you don?t have the right to demand love on your terms?Just to make you happy. And, you learn that alone does not mean lonely? And you look in the mirror and come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head and agonizing over how you ?stack up?.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs. You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK?And that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things that you want. And that sometimes it is necessary to make demands. You come to the realisation that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect and you won?t settle for less. And, you allow only the hands of a lover who cherishes you to glorify you with his touch? and in the process, you internalise the meaning of self-respect.

And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin eating a balanced diet, drinking more water and taking more time to exercise. You learn that fatigue diminishes the spirit and can create doubt and fear. So you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So, you take more time to laugh and to play. You learn that for the most part, in life you get what you believe you deserve? and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from working towards making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You also learn that no one can do it all alone and that it?s OK to risk asking for help. You learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time, FEAR itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms. And you learn to fight for you life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn that life isn?t always fair, you don?t always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes, bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasion you learn not to personalise things. You learn that God isn?t punishing you or failing to answer you prayers. It?s just life happening. And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state the ego. You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy, and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about; a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower. Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never settle for less than your heart?s desire. And you hang a wind chime outside you window so you can listen to the wind. And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful possibility. Finally, with courage in your heart and with God by your side, you take a stand, you take a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best you can.

That was looong. Awsome, but still long. Took a while to read (even longer seeing how I took the time, as I always do, to point out the grammer errors. I'm a grammer freak in training) sweatdrop .

Yeah...  

[DarkWolfDemon]

Dude... long poems.. makin my head hurt man sweatdrop awesome poem though. Riyo I like yours too.

There once was a really bad sailor
Whos name was bob taylor
he had an old cat
his wife an old bat
and so he dumped her for the meyor.  

[_Riyo_]

Here's one that I wrote MYSELF! For school last year, mind you. But I like. It's cool.


"Shadow"

It lurks in the darkness-
It's there-
I can see it.
A black figure,
Creeping in the shadows-
Like a shadow-
Perhaps even one itself!
But its blood-red eyes,
Its piercing gaze,
And sadistic smile
Convince me it's there-
It's real.


Fwee. I want to know if anyone likes it other than me...  

[_Riyo_]

Well... Here's another one I wrote. I'm probably not a very talented poet... But, hey! I try, and that's all that matters, right?! RIGHT?! Blah. This one's unnamed...


It's already midnight,
But I can't sleep.
The memories I have of you,
I will always and forever keep.
Not a sound in the house,
The lights are all off.
But in the distance, I can hear it,
The wind's sighing, oh so soft.
I could tell you I don't love you,
But that would be untrue.
I wish you would listen,
Oh, if you only knew.
No one really ever cared,
Like you did, for me.
I wish I could tell you how I really feel,
If only I could make you see.
I know how you could hate me,
After all that I've done.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
And I really wish you wouldn't run.
I know you can't believe me,
But I'm really not your foe.
You don't care anymore,
And I now know why you had to go.
You are gone forever,
And I'll just have to accept that.


...Maybe I read a little too much romance/angst? o.o;

lol thanx here is another one!!

my poem
INSANITY


Living in darkness
Living to die
Living just so I won't say good bye
Eyes close together
Eyes close from shame
Eyes close so I won't see the pain
Rivers of blood
Rivers of fear
Rivers drown out all of those years
Killing the masses
Killing my sons
Killing to be the only one
Gambling with Satan
Gambling my life
Gambling til I pick up the knife
Start from the bottom
Start life again
Start from behind all of my sin
Can't feel the love
Can't see the light
Can't see through the infinite night

the monsters

i am a freak
i walk the planet
my thoughts melting ike puddles
some days im insane
i can't say whats in my heart
or think whats in my brain
i am a freak living in constant pain
i am a freak
and there is always ringing in my ears
my head is always pounding with terrifying fears
i dont know if i could last another day
or even if i could pray
i have only one thought which is for you to stay
becasue with you its all okay

oh wow that kicks a**.
