I hope you all don't think this is unmanly or anything like that. Just felt like sharing some of my work.

Across the street sits my sanity,
The one taken by humanity,
The elusive state of well-being,
Is a state I miss seeing,
When will the rain stop pouring?
When will they stop ignoring?
Is this wall always going to stand?
Will I never be a man?
When a new day is born,
Sadness was the shirt that I had worn.

lol thank you, and I know is it's a poem, or so I think. In my philosophy class, my teacher has me thinking if I'm even alive.:noidea:

[Easye1982]

"Even Alive" what do you mean by that??

And I know its a poem too....I wanted to see if it was a metered poem, like a haiku has rules to follow....I thought that yours was following a different set of rules. But if it was not then I was an idiot like i said ;) dont worry ill get over it :(

lol dont worry it was just a freestyle poem. I dont like being bound by anything.

My philosophy teacher just has a way of asking questions and making you question everything you believe. Everyone in that class is in shock.

Nice, sounds good to me and i look forward to hearing more. GOOD JOB.

Looking out my back door to the golden skies,
Beautiful meadows with life springing,
Reliving the sunset looking at the sun rise,
Such beauty the days always bringing,
The trees welcoming my every visit,
The grass conforming to my feet,
The forest happy for my revisit,
The birds giving off a tweet,
The creek massaging my toes,
The water relieving my thirst
The beautiful sound as the water flows,
The water falling with a burst,
As I make my way to my back door,
I see life, I've never seen before,
As I close my back door for the night,
I enjoy just one more sight.


Double post prevented :) see post below


Sometimes it feels like heaven is so far away,
I know in your arms starts a bright new day,
Heaven isn't to far out of reach with you,
A feeling that is long overdue,
Anticipation until we meet once again,
Knowing heaven I will soon gain,
I don't feel so alone,
You smiled, the lights of heaven have shown.

Ahhh, you were listening. Thank you for putting up some more of your work. One always admires what one can't do. The first one reminds me of where I live. I'm in the woods and I hear a creek when I'm outside. It's so peaceful here, surrounded by nature. Keeps me balanced.


I read the rest of the thread earlier too. I had one philosophy class in college and I've never forgotten it. I'm a chemist, so I was dragged into that class kicking and screaming my senior year. It was an absolute requirement for graduation. I know because I tried to get out of it. The entire class consisted of writing. Term papers and essay tests. That was my idea of hell at the time.

What can I say, I've never been so wrong about a class. My professor was exceptional. He had even written the book for the course. The class was called Bioethics, and it was specifically for science students. What a challenge for him! We couldn't jump right into things, because none of us had any previous philosophy to build on.

I know exactly what you mean by questioning yourself. That class made me really look at what was important to me, what I believed in, how I made my decisions, how I think. One of the best classes I've ever had, and I think it changed me for the better. Also got an A. :D

thank you for the compliments.

Yes, that class has made me look at things differently, I'm only pulling a B. That B is like a 100% in how I think though.

Rolling up to class with a Gi in my hand,
Hoping we will do something I understand,
We run around the mats and converse,
We learn a technique and how to reverse,
We grab partners and start to spar,
We pull guard to get and armbar,
We single out that arm in side control,
We tap everyone, that's how we roll.

Very Very nice JJ. We could have used you in our band a year ago. I wrote the songs and they sucked. Great job!!!

OK this mind reading thing is getting creepy. First the thread on the forearms to the throat, now this.

I've been calling you JJ for months now, but just 5 minutes ago when I was typing that I had a fleeting thought. "Hummm... JJ, people might think I'm talking about the other JJ when I type that. Need to be aware of that so it's not confusing."

You tell me what I had for dinner and I'm leaving.

I better not say, I want you to stick around! :thumb:

You are so breathtaking,
I hope one day we will connect again,
Though my heart is aching,
I know you will be my friend,
I'm already missing you,
I can't eat or sleep,
You should know it's true,
When I say my love is deep,
I didn't always say those words,
It was always what I was thinking,
Whether it's the chirping of birds,
Or the fish sinking,
I will stand by your side,
I will hold you,
In me you should confide,
Because what I say is true.



As hard as it may seem,
I know I must do what is right,
I wish this was just a dream,
For you I would go into the light,
I may have said I feared that,
I hope it just goes to show,
I love you and dont foget that,
I hope you will always know,
You are my steroid abuser,
You are my smile on a sad face,
You are my only user,
Of this happy place.
