Mine Pillow Book

[Herculine]

Monty Python

that marvoleous thing

the sereal humour

the wacky cartoons

debate other christ

or Brian

the holy Grail

Ni to all who fail.

 

Number Three: The Larch...

[species5478]

What is it we see?

When we sit and watch

all those who go past,

What do we look for,

Is it guy,

is it girls,

is it neither,

is it both.

 

Do the men watch the women,

do the women watch the men,

I watch the men but do they watch me?

Does she wtch women,

do they watch her?

We look but don't see

or we look and do see,

but can we see what they see?

all are different but all the same

ist it possible for us to be so?

 

 

that'l get the little grey cells working, it has mine for what on earth do I mean? o_O

 

To Herculine:

Thank you little fairy but i still not certain what triigered me to write that last one, admitedly had been sitting at a cafe watching the world go by.

 

Perhaps this particular piece stems from your subconscious; the poem of a dreaming mind.

[LordTenaim]

Quite possible species5478 still was also trying to get other people to also ask since could be intresting to see their thoughts.

The piece reminded me of how I feel when I'm lonely and/or sexually confused. It was like you wrote it for me.

[LordTenaim]

I know what you mean little fairy, sometimes I think these are written by my subconcious with no help from mine concious mind. oh yes I liked your response to my Monty Python poem.

[LordTenaim]

WHy when you first fall for a guy they seem great,

but after awhile they seem weird

then before you know it

he's got someone else on the side

then you see someone else

far hotter then your old flame

you leave for the hotter guy

then you start the process again.

 

Yet somewhen do you not find

that perfect guy who has everything you want

who wants you as much as you want him

that guy who lifts you up with a smile

that guy who is there when you're sad

that guy who cares not about your mistakes

and if makes mistakes you can easily forgive

 

but will it last

can it last

we can hope and try

for as much as we are loyal

are we not as fickle

for our minds play games

our eyes look

and we change what ever else may be.

 

 

No that comes from watching people around town, those people who with someone else being held in their arms are looking and another guy or seen another chick. :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Herculine]

I love this poem as well. It is so true that we humans are never satisfied with what we have and always want something else.

[Maharg67]

One reason is that we are always being fed false social ideas of what we should want from TV, from romance fiction, from pornography...

 

so men want always to be proven 'macho'

 

so women are always looking for 'something better to come along'

 

at 48 I am slowly learning to look deeper into myself to find a base of happiness there

 

I have no miracle answers but if you can't be true to your self, who can you be true to?

[LordTenaim]

I must admit Maharg that what you say is correct but at times I also think that it has something to do with us and not getting truely what we need in a commpanion because we don't understand ourselves, but once I reach your age or buddhas maybe I will have been able to atleast understand myself and I want or crave(poss. the correct term) in the partner for me or I may find I need not one single partner. :thanks:

 

 

Here is an inscription I was recently asked to put on a wooden saxon battle axe.

 

+++ Sam Made Me +++ I Move Straight And True +++ To Hack And Hew Is What I Do +++ The Power Is Yours +++ But Take Heed +++ Misuse Me Not +++ Or Your Doom I Will Be +++

 

I must admit it looks better in Norse runes in side a knot work snake but it is a fitting inscription for an axe head. What do you the readers think? can it be improved?

[species5478]

Lord Tenaim, your poem strikes like a dagger to the heart. It's true in so many ways. Romance seems to be the focus, but I believe your theme applies to all kinds of social interactions. Friends for instance, are guilty of the same selfishness. Some are always looking for someone more attentive, giving, or popular and can never be satisfied with those they have. The same can be applied to some jobs where your boss is always looking for a better hotshot, or "secretary". I think that's why nature implements age. Because in the end, all vanity is subdued by the hands of time.
