Collection of my own poems. My inspirations that got me into writing and poetry were Charles Dickens, Jim Morrison, and Maya Angelou. I love poetry because it is one of the things all human cultures share, whether it be passage, song, epic, or haiku, and that it is infinite. It comes from one's own, the ultimate weapon and divine status, one's own perspective.

That's another reason I love poetry, it's an idea that is free to be interpreted in any way by anyone who pays attention. You may of course leave comments and ratings on them, I appreciate the feedback, and say what your interpretation of the poems are. If you ask I'll tell what I intended them to mean, but just remeber, your interpretation is equal to the author's. Thanks.

My favourite of the three is "Perspective." I've never really considered the simularities of good and evil. It is interesting indeed how people are quick to focus only on their differences and not their simularities and in saying that, I think the idea of self-interest plays a large part in the batte between good and evil. Most times, people only to try to do things that are in their best interest; whether or not their actions benefit others or is a hinderance to others.

Oh and just out of curiosity, what was your intention behind "Daisy" I really like that one.

Thanks.I wrote perspective one day in chool for a theatre assignment, but I got the idea of it because two of my friends were arguing over what side of the Force, Star Wars, is the better, light or dark, and all I basically heard between the two of them was that they were the same. And so I related it to "real world" "good" and "evil".
Now, Daisy. Well, it's a tribute to my sis, of sorts, named Daisy that grew up with me. She and I were almost inseperable, and we were always their for each other. She helped me through alot and kept me going to where I am now. This is a tribute to her because she died on the fifth of March last year to cancer.

That's an interesting basis for that poem indeed. Ideas for poetry always come when one leasts expects it! Star Wars is a perfect example of the stereotypical battle between good and evil.

"Daisy" is certainly a very nice poem. Oh and if you don't mind me saying: God bless her soul! It must have been hard for you to write such a poem.

Of course I have no offense towards that. And, it wasn't really hard to write. I mean, as far as grief or anything for her, there wasn't of much. I mean, I kinda envied her, in a weird way. I mean, I enjoy my life and I like it quite sufficiently, but I've always been curious as to what awaits outside, on the other side. Which is the basis for one of my favorite Jim Morrison poems/Doors songs: "Break On Through". I mean, I don't fear death or mourn over it, because one day I'm gonna die and se her again, so mourning a waist of time, life, and energy. Plus, the way I see it, she's still with me. She's like the wind, just because I can't see it doesn't mean I can't feel it.

Lol, Star Wars saves lives...

True indeed. I believe the souls of the departed are always with us in some form or another. I have to admit that I'm a little intimidated by the idea of death, but I guess that's becuase it's so mysterious; something that no living person could truly explain until they've died themselves.
sweatdrop Have you heard of NDE's?

rofl "May the force be with you..." *hehe*

Well, I have a theory. Considering there are so many different religions with so many different versions of an after life, I think the afterlife, if one at all, is based on what you as an individual believe. Some believe in reincarnation, some in heaven and hell. Who's to say the other is wrong? So I just trust that whatever you believe is what happens to you and is correct for you. And no, I dont recall ever hearing of NDE'S. Sorry.

NDE's are Near Death Experiences and are often associated with a hallway or tunnel with a light at the end. There are plenty of other visions that a person could have, but "the light at the end of the tunnel" is most common. It's like getting a glimpse of what your death would be like wothout you actully dying. I've heard quite a bit about NDE's, but I wasn't interested much until I read a book entitled Passage by Connie Willis. She too suggests that a person's death is greatly influenced by how they lived their life and the things that some one sees in their NDE is based on their own values and beliefs.

Oh!
In that case yeah I have heard of NDE's I just didn't realize what the abbreviation stood for, and I've had quite a few of them myself. But, I think itsa bit of an oximoron to call them near death experiences when death is always near, thus meaning all experiences are near death experiences. Perhaps that is the passage through the void to the other side, perhaps not. However, my mom's a nurse and she told me of one of he patients that died and was resessatated into life and told them, "there a re dogs up there". So, that leaves a few possibilities. One, heaven is ruled by dogs, he assumed he was in heaven when he could have been in hell, he has an afection for dogs and that was his heaven as an individual, or, they were signs as to what he was going to be reborn as. So, who knows

Indeed, only time can tell. I don't really know whether or not to believe in NDE's.

Oh, and I like Renaissance. It makes me think about we as humans have influenced the condidtion of Earth and how we've kind of crumbled this planet, especially with regards to the environment.
Also, I would like to know the intentions behind "What and The Illusionist."
