Happy Valentine's Day Quote a Poem!

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

TO pile like Thunder to its close,   
Then crumble grand away,   
While everything created hid—   
This would be Poetry:   
Or Love,—the two coeval came—           5
We both and neither prove,   
Experience either, and consume—   
For none see God and live.   

---Emily Dickinson

Happy Valentine's Day From the PlaneShift Staff!

[Prolix]

there was a bonnie lass, and a bonnie, bonnie lass
and she lo'ed her bonnie lad dear;
till war's loud alarms tore her laddie frae her arms,
wi' mony a sigh and tear.

over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,
he still was a stranger to fear;
and nocht could him quell,or his bosom assail,
but the bonnie lass he lo'ed sae dear.

Robert Burns.



What utter rot!

[verden]

Veil us in icy mist
And hide us from the wind!
Love eludes the paradigm,
Eden yet within.
None will see our nakedness,
That outward sign of trust,
Intimate in joy and pain,
Need, tenderness, and lust;
Easily familiar,
'Twixt ecstasy and peace,
Safely in our solitude,
Delighted to repeat
A passion that returns, returns,
Yet renders us complete.

[Vannaka]

since feeling is first
who payes any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers.  Don't cry
-- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

(since feeling is first, E. E. Cummings)

When griping grief the heart doth wound,
And doleful dumps the mind opresses,
Then music with her silver sound
With speedy help doth lend redress.

THIS IS NOT A LOVE POEM....vday is all over for me but  i thought people would find this amusing ....

A randome poem ..by me   Bwahahahhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Once there was a monkey named Jim Bob Joe
One day he saw his friend who was called Moe
Jim Bob Joe and Moe ate some bananas
When they were done they saw Moe’s old Nana
And ran away because she talks too much
They went to Moe’s hut and searched through his hutch
Jim Bob Joe and Moe found a giant ball
Then Jim Bob Joe kicked the ball at a wall
The ball bounced off it and hit Moe’s Mother.
Then she sent them to play some place other
They were now bored so they robbed a big bank
But they got caught by a monkey named Frank
Frank was very mean so he put them in jail
Frank kept them in jail till they could make bail
There bail was set at sixty bananas
Moe used his one phone call to call Nana
Moe pleaded with Nana till she paid bail
Then Jim Bob Joe and Moe got out of jail
Nana made them promise to be good boys
And then she sent them to play with there toys
After that they played on the jungle gym
Once they got bored they went for a long swim
When they were done they went to Jim Bob Joe’s
And went to the garden and picked a rose
Jim Bob Joe and Moe took it to Nana’s
They thanked he for paying the bananas
Then they built a humongous rocket ship
And got in it and took it on a trip
They went to Mars and milked a space cow
Then the space cow shot them and they said “OW!”
But they were okay so they flew away
Then they went to Pluto and played all day
The nest day they flew all the way back home
They landed on a small red garden gnome
Later that day they were up in a tree
Moe found a lamp and set the genie free
Moe wished they had wings so that they could fly
The second wish was that they could not die
The genie said it was against a rule
So instead he wished to be done with school
Thirdly he wished George wasn’t curious
This made the T.V people furious
This upset the authors and book stores too
The man in the yellow hat tried to sue
Jim Bob Joe and Moe felt sorry for him
They gave him a job in there brand new gym
They left the man and went to Taco Bell
Then they left it because of a bad smell
The monkeys didn’t know what else to do
So they decided to live in the zoo

[Anumesa]

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

-William Shakespeare, sonnet 18

[Roled]

Life is a glorious cycle of song!
A medley of extemporania,
and Love is a thing that can never go wrong,
And I am the Queen of Romania.

Mary had a little lamb,
she tied it to a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its.... nose,
and turned its wool to nylon

what is this before mine eyes
tis a pair o silky whith theighs
as i reach out to touch
oh so bold.......
with a swift backhand i was told

[zanzibar]

In attempts to moderate they ask why we don't write love songs.
What is it that we sing then?
Our love of life is total, everything we do is an expression of that,
Everything that we write is a love song.

-Crass

Not really a Valentines Day poem, but it has to do with love This is a poem that I wrote back in 2003. Be gentle with any comments

i am the gypsy caravan,
it's time to set you free.
slip into the silence
of the places where you dream.
escape into the forest,
and we'll go until the night
winks itself to nothing,
and the sun begins to rise.
embrace the far off places
that dance quietly within,
as thoughts unfurl like ribbon
and take flight upon the wind.
we can run until reality
is buried by the mist,
the caravan will take us back
to places reminisced.
