For the Love of Love
As the delightful Winsa said in her recent post Valentines day is all about Love, and even though I may not have a relationship with anyone currently i don’t mind because I know that i am loved and that i love those around me and thanks largely to Xanga i’m also actually feeling quite romantic and Valentine-sy, so much so infact i’ve tried my hand at a couple poems (or vaugely poem like things) on the subject of Love and Romance.
But first i’d like to point out that I’ve never written poetry or even read all that much so don’t expect anything too wild.
This first idea was inspired by listening to this above music, so turn it on and try to use it to imagine…i suppose i’m trying to capture first date excitment:
Heartbeating.
Nervous, excited…your there.Glittering eyes, perfect hair, magical scent…can’t tell you.
Laughter, fun, endless night, you are everything…you free my soul.
Quiet, content, unspoken, unbroken gaze…nothing said everything shared.
Endless moment, so close, unknown…lips touch.
Explosion in the Sky.
And since the above is a little more unusual than what i would call a proper attempt at a poem here’s another more elaborate one about just love in general:
(you can stop the music now
What is it?
Something fills my mind, it’s source within my heart.
It eps and flows, comes and goes, whenever we are apart.
It’s not held within your structure, your face, your hair, your scent.
It obsesses, it posesses, it’s beauty is heaven sent.
It’s deeper than time, longer than light….and renders the best of us speachless no matter how bright.
Well that and my gratitude and love to all you amazing Xangans is my contribution to Valentines, I hope that whoever you are and wherever you are you feel loved by someone or just feel connected to love it’s self
Also to any commenters and my friends, I’m going to be off for most of Monday evening and night because i’m off to visit a friend
so if i seem absent thats why…..(I miss one day of everyones blogs and i feel like i’m out of the loop lol *Xanga Junkie*)

<3 Have fun and pretty good first attempt.
i missed a week and i felt completely out of the loop!
and nice poems! im such a bad poetry writer; im not very good at this writing-evocatively business so i always enjoy reading people who are much more skilled at it than i am
hope u hve a fun trip!
@ALovingAdversary - Will do! and Thankyou
@suuperstar - Lol yea i’m sure time moves quicker on Xanga.
That nice of you to say…but i’m not sure i’d call myself more skilled than anyone in the poetry department.
not sure if you knew him before under his previous name but if not check out THIS GUY for some amazing poems.
@BFB1131 - oh trust me. back then, my teacher asked us to write a creative story, anything we wanted. all i ended up writing was a story about a girl who wanted to buy an expensive kite. i am not kidding you in the slightest!
and i’ll def check him out:)
Fun music.
Miss you.
I have been writing poetry for years (whenever I feel inspired enough I suppose. lol), and I think your first attempt is pretty awesome.
To me poetry is art with words. As long as you’re expressing your emotions, thoughts, and feelings..you can’t go wrong. Same with art, with poetry everyone has different taste and likes when it comes to it. But we can all appreciate the essence of it nonetheless. I hope you keep writing more in the future. And happy Valentine’s Day to you (since you won’t be on most of Monday, and I probably won’t be on at all. lol)
good stuff man. your spirit of creativity really shines through. thank you for sharing!
I LOVED listening to the music while reading your poems! They’re so good, Bede! For some reason the first one is my fav…”nothing said, everything shared”…Wow.
I hope you will keep writing!
Much love to you, My Friend!
Hope you have a great time on Monday!
HUGS!
Will you be my valentine?
Those are great poems!
@suuperstar - Hahaha, well it could have been symbolism, the girl might have been trying to buy freedom or happiness lol….with the right interpretation i’m sure it was a work of genius
@HelloKitty0809 - Heh yea I think computer game music has given me a soft spot for that sort of thing, despite never having set foot in any kind of club lol
Miss you too, I hope you get some relaxing (and xangering) time soon
@Babieboo_Annie - I’d love to read some if you ever post it, and thankyou it is interesting how when i start trying to create something i have to really feel the emotion necessary for it to flow right. Happy Valentines to you too
@ThePrince - I really appreciate that, Thank you!
@adamswomanlost - :D Well after reading yours thats praise indeed.
