Poems I'd like to write


There are so many things I’d like to do.
I’d like to walk barefoot on the moon
And eat Nacho Doritos at Machu Picchu.
Just so I could say I had; is that so bad?

There are too many songs I’d love to sing
In a language not my own or reality
Reality must differ; the same as any dance
Steps are rearranged by musi… Continue

Parag

Colors...(Poem)

Splashing across the pages,
Sometimes blending in harmony,
Sometimes overlapping in victory.
Blood Red rushing through veins,
Pitch Black bringin in the pains,
Deep Blue, a cold and sad hue,
Sky Blue, of hope it speaks true.
Golden yellow of bright sunlight,
Only subdued by saintly white.

Parag

Reckless...(Poem)

My words speak more no more,
Nor do they leave blanks within,
Measured, weighed and balanced,
Deliberated and pondered.
My actions no more a consequence,
Nor consequence my actions make,
A ripple in the pond may reach the banks,
But drowned is the stone that shook the lake.
The tiny pebble that it was,
It still rests at the bottom,
Hidden, obscured but not destroyed,
Its recklessness subdued,
But still alive in its heart,
Missed at times.

The Angel

This is my forth draft and I'm still not satisified, but I'm going to post for now because I'm getting tired of staring at it. :)

The Angel

With sounds that of scraping I drug the knifes blade.
First one side than next like I'd mastered the trade.
For hours I'd sat here perfecting this tool
to use on a villain; a task master cruel.

"You wouldn't," she whispered, her smile slyly mocked
I in my chair slowly back and forth rocked.
Her whispers had plagued me for near all my life.
It's her voice… Continue

Calling All Moms!

I'm having a 'Mom Chat' on my site this coming Thursday from 8:30pm to 10pm. I'm using the Ning chat feature, so I think you may have to sign up on my site but I would LOVE to have you attend!! My site is in its infancy and I could use your participation if you have time. I'll be doing this event monthly. In the future I'll have an assigned topic (that we will always be at liberty to stray from) but for this time we'll just gab. Though, I may send out an ice breaker question to get us rolling.… Continue

Ivan Stoikov

a verse from my first book and one from the second

Love and happiness will be around,
as all the chains will disappear,
And Mountaineers will climb their mount,
and there won't be any tear!

Tale Of The Rock Pieces, http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TaleOfTheRockPieces.html, http://allanbard.hit.bg


Let's watch the moon,
Let's meet the sun.
Let's hear soon the way the Deed was done!
let's listen to the sounds th… Continue

The Spellbox


Conjuring lucid dreams from bright imagination
Magical ethereal things; tapestries of incantation
A strongbox kept grimoire; yellow, brittle parchments
Casts spells of heaven or hell upon the supplicants

Here salt tears of pain and deception; agony and loss;
Butterfly wings of love and laughter; all within… Continue

Wildflowers


The violet’s velvet perfect petals nestled against the green
Of heart shaped beds so lush and crisp they sing to us of spring
Their purple hues of royalty call to children’s eyes above
Who harvest them with time and toil befitting mother’s love

A dandelion’s shaggy mop of hair sprouts up in every yard
The… Continue

Could you please tell me if you pasted this text? There seems to be a malfunction with the text editor. I cannot get the rich text or html to format. In other words, I can't post. It may be a Ning problem.

Interesting the colors you have chosen and the way you represent them; a very nice read. All we have here now is frozen white! We had lots of snow recently. Lots!
