Ever wonder....
What happens to stars when the sun rises?

What happens to the warm breeze when the sun sets?

What happens to moments, the ones we let slip away?
Will they come back tomorrow with the stars?

Will the moment where you should have said "stay", return,
and still have a reason to be said?
Or is it lost forever?

is that look you saw in the eye of another, fleeting?
or will it be there again?

Where do those moments go?
Who decides which ones are mistakes?
Who decides which ones are regrets?

who decides which are the moments we keep forever?
Is it that moment you said 'I do'?
Or the moment you heard 'I need you'

The breeze will return tomorrow, and bring with it the reminder of yesterday.
The fragrance of a dream, the memory of the past.

Will it bring a new moment to relive?
Or will it bring a new trial to your day?

I'll pick the moment. Like the one I let slip away.
That one moment I should have grabbed with all my might,
to see what it could have given me.

Maybe, just maybe, it'll return, just like those stars.

A bitter wind passed my shoulder just now
Its chill stings as it rolls across my skin,
Washing away the last remnants of your warm touch

How long ago was that?
That you reminded me a touch could speak volumes?
Told me, in that one touch, that I was worth the moon and stars combined

Yet as that warmth fades, I doubt
I lower my worth to much less than the moon
Much less than a single star

Do you feel me when I'm not there?
Does the wind make an enemy of you as well?
Robbing you of that last remaining piece of me

I wander into the night alone
Left alone with my doubt and my dream
wondering

am I enough

Awesome stuff, Ponine!

Yes, really wonderful writing, Ponine.

The first one reminded me of my favorite scientific principle (which I also think is a bit poetic) that energy is never lost, only transfered. The second one gave me chills. (In a good way.)

A bit like Pandora's box

The lid is lifted,
with beauty and wonder to behold.
yet underneath, a nest of vipers and briars I never saw

To take the piece of joy,
along with the pain,
is that the answer?

I can hold the joy in my mind
what doesnt change is the pain
the doubt, the fear...

I need the words,
the words I cant ask for,
the words that arent mine to hear.

I need
I doubt
I mourn
I go on

I'm in a mood... I needed an outlet

Capt Jack · 12-13-2005, 07:42 PM

I feel your pain.
Nicely written my friend.

With 28,000+ posts, I had to start somewhere

In Six months…..

You can be reborn in another’s love
And go from feeling reborn to used (and at times, back again)

You can watch friends marry with joy,
And realize you’ll never be that fortunate.

You can grant a wish for a family member,
And realize that it was one of the best choices ever.

You can find that you cannot live someone else’s life.
And that you don’t know how to live your own.

You can realize that some promises are made in haste,
And that you have to release people from them occasionally,
No matter the cost.

You can find that the things that make you truly happy,
Are the things you cannot have.

You can realize that no matter how unhappy you are with your weight,
It’s mostly YOU that cares.

You can understand that what your cat really wants,
Is you there to lay upon.
