I used to write poetry, way way way back in high school. I'm pretty sure I won't post them here because 1)I left my notebook in CO, 2) I'm not a big fan of my own stuff, and 3) It's personal shit.
The next series of posts are poems I wish I could write. First up, Tite Kubo, manga artist and writer for Bleach:
=============
If I don't wield the sword,
I can't protect you.
If I keep wielding the sword,
I can't embrace you.
----
We should not shed tears
That is a surrender of the body to the heart.
It is only proof
that we are beings that do not know
what to do with our hearts.
----
I am merely practicing
saying goodbye to you.
----
One who paints the beauty in love
is one who pretends to not know love's form.
One who paints the ugliness in love
is one who understood it well.
----
We look upon you
as one would a peacock.
A look that borders on
anticipation, adoration, and something
akin to neverending terror
----
We think the flower on the precipice is beautiful
because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge
instead of stepping towards the sky
like that flower.
This is a neat post. You should post more entries w/ poets that you like.
ReplyDeleteI really like the last one... and also the picture that goes along. Gotta love those red canyon walls of the west.
