... thank you ...

Ok...I don't know if this is appropriate to say (not that I've made a name for myself by being appropriate) but this poem actually got me hot...especially the stanza that had "you're hot rain, I am your land". I I've always found the woman/earth comparison a very alluring one...its almost like a literary fetish for me.Originally Posted by Letti
Then I tried to imagine it in Hungarian and I almost passed out.
Your beauty shows in your picture and in all of your works Letti.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
You really are talented, Letti! We're all waiting for some other piece of poetry that comes out of your pretty head and I hope you can READ some to me when I come (in Hungarian, that is since I really don't know how it sounds)
I cannot wait as well!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
One line came to my mind and it didn't let me go. Like usually.
And here it is.
(If it doesn't make much sense I am really sorry. Not a very clear one.)
That's what we are
Lonely gates in the street
that can never forget
The key and the door
the perfect locket
that's what we are
Two broken magnets
always without peace
The birds from far away
and the desert trees
that's what we are
The tears of the girl
the cries of the boy
Shelters of the dreams
no one can destroy
that's what we are
Roses of the sister
wings of the brother
Two dwarf planets
always pulling each other
that's what we are
Roland would have understood.
quite a beautiful bit of writing
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
thank you two
Roland would have understood.
That's beautiful Letti!
Run
Faces you have never seen
Books you have never read
Places you have never been
Words you have never said
People you have never hugged
Tears you have never had
Flowers you have never touched
Doves you have never fed
There are so many things
You have never done
Stop, breathe the world inside
It's worthless to run
Roland would have understood.
ref - that's what we are
loved this - reading the rest of the thread i'd say it's even more special as it's in a second language.
it's really pure and direct (which i like) and even though it's concise you still manage to paint some great pictures.
oh and from where i'm sat - you have no problem at all with clarity
thanks for sharing.
the second verse is a masterpiece
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your time and for your kindness.
(OMG Jean, did you really write that?!?!) Thank you.
Roland would have understood.
The concept is brilliant. To put it in such words is, talent.
Thank you.
("Doves you have never fed" I love that line!!)
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
