Martas poems

W ords can tell you things exist you would never have believed did, describe for you the most beautiful sights and teach you all about music even if you cannot hear With words we say I love you for the very first time, and with them we construct poems in our mind. We use them for hellos and for goodbyes, to pray and to damn, to tell the world what we feel and how it is that we came to look and act like this. Words can be sad and make us cry or sweet as sugar and make us smile. Printed words have... Sign in to see full entry.

O n the sand is where I like to stand, watching the sun dip below the worn bridges and graying boat docks, past the green marsh reeds that sway back and forth like a pendulum of nature, under the passionate touch of a whipping wind. The pinks, oranges and yellows born from the sun overwhelm my mind as they dance on the gray stage of this winter sky like eternal lovers waltzing through time. I feel the cold on my face. The salty onshore breeze hastens its pace shaking my soul reminding me of all... Sign in to see full entry.

O n this sad Tuesday I am fondly thinking of the words you say and the things you do. and my old lie of not needing you disappears into the fine mist that from the gray clouds hiding the sun now, slowly drips. Loneliness is a harsh punishment for loving the right man, at the wrong moment, so I write, because you are not here, because wishes pent up in my heart long to be set free to be allowed to exist in the light. I write, but I am sweetly sad. For I know if you were here... the light from... Sign in to see full entry.

L isten to the wind now that the magic of the moonlight is gone and the journey of the stars is in plain view. Listen to the wind and watch how it caresses the sea just so, making the water tremble as it awaits its kiss, creating sweet waves deep within it that in turn rush to touch the white sandy shores, leaving there as a memorial the sea weeds that the tide had tore the night before. Listen to that wind while it whispers to the tall palm trees that humbly bend to salute him with respect, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I sat by the sea today I sat there and felt ashamed for I remembered all the other nights and days when I sat there in that same place staring into a sea that seemed so cold, and feeling so alone pleading with a God I thought was deaf, asking Him to please bring my love back, to spare his mind, promising Him anything and everything for one more hour in his arms. Now he is back and instead of falling on my knees thanking G-d for the miracle that is he, I fret and complain... about he not being... Sign in to see full entry.

Y ou came back to me so changed I did not recognize you So long was your time away that you became someone else someone I do not know and who does not know who I am. Those lips I knew so well have a different taste and what before you took your time in doing, now you do in haste. Even though you are next to me I feel I am still waiting for you for I can tell that the eyes that I loved so, are not the ones I look now into I have you in my arms, but I know you are not mine and my kisses die of...

H e will find another woman. Love fades, time passes and even huge fires end up as ashes. Sometimes, even if no one wants it feelings and touches get old, and he will seek someone else to hold once I am from his life gone. He might tell her he forgot my last kiss and pretend he does not care if she says my name... but one day... perhaps when he hears an old song or sees someone that resembles me, he will think of all the words we said all the things we shared and his heart will skip a beat It...

T he night dreams it is blue and the stars seem to group together as if they were discussing the beauty of a moon that shines round and magnificent, queen of the sky, bathing everything below her in silvery light. A bird rehearses a new song perched on a snow covered tree and I don't dare move, afraid of upsetting the perfect world before me. I am alone in the dark. Time does not exist Nothing is real in this night that shouldn't be Only I am here, only me, my sad memories and this dream and my... Sign in to see full entry.

H e walks in arrogance like the sun that raises every day to illuminate the world and knows that without him there'll be no life on Earth. The Moon and the stars are in his eyes filled with the visions of a thousand works of art yet to be born out of the genius of his hands, but so engrossed is he with the glory he seeks that he forgets to tend to the needs of his heart and when he looks around, he finds himself alone for all that he once loved are now gone Sign in to see full entry.

Paint me capture my soul again and again in the emptiness of your mind and paste it on a white canvass It will not ease your mind not unless dreams can ease time. Keep me away from everything that once meant something far from that place we reached by loving but you can not keep my soul it is free and it belongs to the world. as once yours did too, remember.... when the leaves were falling that cold September and you swore you loved me but it could not be the love that I wanted, only you and me,...

How many times must I touch a flame to learn that it burns How many times can I forgive and forget the hurtful things you say How many more times... must I sit and cry feeling my heart brake There's nothing I can do I guess I'll have to say goodbye broken hearted...very soon Sign in to see full entry.

Once upon a time there was a wine, a happy wine that went sour in the glass waiting for the toast that never came Once upon a time there was a rose bush that ran out of roses, because you would trade her roses for my kisses Once upon a time a golden bell used to toll every afternoon while we made love, back when you were mine... once upon a time, now, it does not toll and the river, that river of sweet and clear waters by which we used to hand in hand stroll... slowly dried up without our love...

A small white house with a red coral roof stood all alone on top of a hill, It sat there, empty and in silence, amongst majestic trees covered in gold and orange dying leaves, surrounded by a sea of grass so tall, that it hid the unkempt soil that once, on a not so distant Spring, had birthed a myriad of flowers as a beautiful gift for the girl that lived there then, but now no longer did. The autumn wind blew cold and harsh, shaking the trunks of the big old trees, and beating relentless on the... Sign in to see full entry.

It was dark and cold and though all day the snow had come and gone, fallen and melted, the dark clouds that menacingly lurked never seemed to empty A biting wind blew making the cold more present and the woods bright with snow stood out from the dark shinning under the half moon's silver light that seemed in the starless sky so out of place. In the distance a wolf cried its sad song calling for the comfort of a mate and as I walked in the dusk of the blue evening among trees that finally had... Sign in to see full entry.

S ometimes, when I am free to dream, my mind goes down paths rarely explored, I look up towards the stars that were there the night before and now hide in a hauntingly beautiful mist as colorful lights slowly illuminate their sky. I find the early morning so beautiful, cool, refreshing... so full of romance My soul, always so shy stops hiding and takes a chance I see your lips and kiss them sweetly they taste like sugar, soft and inviting and ignoring the storm that looms in the distance...I...

A s I sat there, way up there by the cliff, I could see all, green waters dansing to the music of my soul, running through the river bed, way down in that hole, dragging with them everything that the forest had shed plus the fish and the stones going along for the trip. I could see the hills thick with woods, all around me, tall and steep, small gnarled oaks clinging to their rocks and slender poplars, gleaming in the light of the setting sun, growing along the river side like a wall.

If I could... If I could with my lips errase the sadness in your eyes and hold you and love you and fill your every need... if it could be, that my hands could touch yours and all pain would dissapear. and I could make every fiber of your being scream soft, primal screams of fulfilled dreams... if with my fingers I could smooth those lines that worry leaves in that forehead I long to kiss, and place with my body smiles in those sweet and sensual lips. If I could... I would take away the weight... Sign in to see full entry.

I n the morning, when brightness comes to dissipate the ghosts that haunted our sleepless night, the softness of the sun's first light caresses our mind freeing us from the place in which we were forced to dwell, all night trying desperately to escape, the slow, consuming flames of our thinking hell. In that morning we thought would never come, we lay in bed, away from crowds and faceless names, reluctantly, slowly letting go of that sweet hope, that all night long kept our soul afloat in the...

W hat sets our feet upon the road of endless search, through hills and valleys, roaming eyes looking for vague births and undefined beginnings. What great things do we think are there and not amidst the hush of silence. For we are blinded by the colors of the mind, by the fragrance of some lost dream or hope unfinished, What will it look like, that love we think is there? Will he stand waiting with radiant eyes hands outstretched in welcome bestowing all with gifts of answers and final rest?... Sign in to see full entry.

L ook through my eyes and see what I see, angry black clouds in a pure blue sky giving false hope to the soil so dry. They come in riding on the cold wind, a wind pregnant with rain looking to be set free, running away from the storm that rages in the sea. Listen to me and hear what I hear the whisper of the falling raindrops, gently caressing the tree tops, and the sudden loud noise of thunder, which crash through the silence, making me tremble with fear, making things shake for a moment to...
