A poem a Day

[LordWushin]

You play chess! Same here, what is your rank or level?

 

Storms

 

Upon the road I travel

Seeing much evil

In the distance I see

Darkness to be

 

As I near, Lightning

Descends and closing

Coming closer, dear

Now the thunder I hear

 

Rain is falling

Hail is calling

Now silence and still

And cold air's chill

 

Sun comes to light

My very delight

Tho it looks beautiful

You are more powerful

 

Fear is not around

Your voice is found

Storm will come later

Because you strike me greater

[SoulofChrysamere]

My level is 1600-1700, been playing for 2 and 1/2 years.

 

A link to one of my best games ever: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=88404913 This was played against a much stronger friend.

I posted on your profile so to not side track on this thread.

 

Many ages ago it seemed

When I first saw her

With eyes so beautiful

And face so fair

A gaze I got lost in

Voice I melted at

Hair so long and dark

Of set the pale, smooth skin

Mind to fast quick of wit

Person of meek loveliness

Touch I adore and crave

Drowning in her love

Perfect to the least

Above all I could ask

[LordWushin]

Now above all time I lie

Upon this soft bed and cry

I hope not to fail and die

This feeling I get so high

Whenever she is not nigh

More time I try to buy

To be with her forever

 

Of course I must admit

I never thought much of it

But a fire in my heart she has lit

Right on the spot she has hit

She shows me how together we fit

And how close we are knit

To be together forever

[LordWushin]

Happy Easter everyone!

 

On this most honorable day, may you find happiness in what you may worship and CANDY, or if not, then enjoy the company of others and all the CANDY.

Best wishes to you all from yours truly!

 

Six days of rain I heard

And of mass flooding I learned

Not the best of news

But what have I to lose

I have my internet and dog

And my food to hog

Work is closed till it passes

So I am away from the masses

 

Yet during these dreary days

In my bed sleep lays

Or above that, hold my one and only

So not to be lonely

And look into her eyes with love

I the protection for this dove

Making the time go by fast

Till the storms are at last past

[LordWushin]

What I Desire Need

Above even silver and gold

I desire someone to hold

Far beyond honor and glory

I desire someone with me

 

 

I want the deep blue eyes

With hair so fine

I want the face where my love lies

And that sweet voice

I want the pearly white skin

That feels so tender

I want lots of love for which to dive in

Having my dream

 

 

But what I want doesn't matter

What I need is better

And my desire is worthless too.

I am trying to say . . . I need You!

My Lesson of the Day

 

Lust. Sometimes you just want something you just can grab, yet! It make one jealous, dark, thieving, and sometimes murderous. Everyone has this but some - myself - more than others. I see something and want it many times. Funny thing is I know I cannot get it and must leave before worse things happen. If I know what gets to me and where it is I should with all my desire avoid it, so to stay out of temptation thus trouble. But sometimes I cannot stay away. I need to be with her or I need to have something, which is a little different in some ways. I want somethings that are good to want but not able to have it, which is where the lust can involve itself. Wanting to be with my girl is not bad at all, till it starts to turn into desires she wants to wait for.

 

It must stop! Avoiding it is my best option. But in her case, that would not go over well. My only defense against it is to hope in the future. I pray and restrain. To be honest I don't really know how to put into words, but I know now how I can significantly reduce the about and level of lust I might do. I know how and it works. I feel like I have defeated some kind of monster. It shows up less and less.

 

Basically the lesson I learned is to not let it loose. It can destroy oneself. Find your way to crush it. Desire is only that and should be no more, then again you should not have it in most cases. Do not make yourself get it.

Hello all,

 

I just discovered this thread and take to this stuff like draugh to water.

 

If I may offer something? Its old, and called My Family.

 

 

My mother is a genealogist, she works

In the boredom between outhouses.

When I was little, I was given ten pence

For every Barnes, Sealy, or robed four-poster grave

With a canopy of monkshood that I called and shrieked from.

 

Imagine my Sonic the Hedgehog jumper

Amongst that politest of human things,

The graveyard.

 

My mother wrote our autobiography, a Trojan thing,

An epic, tragic, boring thing.

And I saw my family, and what I hated of it,

And what I mistook from it.

 

I had a birthday party, the first family event in a while

And as we sat eating lasagne I filofaxed them between

My fork tines.

 

Grandfather, you Swindon brittle, you are a glass-mullioned horse full of lemonade

And I used to hear the ice clink in your knees when you went upstairs.

 

Grandmother, not my grandmother, the changeling that boils everything.

 

Great Grandmother, you are missing, but just so you know, your

Living room scared me. I always imagined you blind.

 

I wanted to write a poem about heritage,

About my lack of memorial,

My kind's lack of pride

For the shame of being born to the

Same pool that denied women the vote,

The black man his own galoshes

And the world a cloudscape free of cirrhosis.

 

You are my heritage, my uneven fence pegs

You mis-match, you me.

[Flintlockecole]

I just discovered this thread and I might as well try to add to it.

 

Requiem for a Lost Friend

You had showed me a world I would have never known of.

Your presence brighten my world and now it's gone it has

been eternally darken. I hope you watch over me while I

walk the path I've chosen.
