PaLaBoy69 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 William Ernest Henley's Invictus was my all-time favorite, specially the last two lines. I even named our high school band then after the poem, because this poem really rocks!!! And if Henley was alive today, he probably is the frontman of U2 or Radiohead, hehehehheeheh!!! I think "My Way" by Frank Sinatra was inspired by this poem, heheheheh!William Ernest Henley's Invictus was my all-time favorite, specially the last two lines.

MentalQ Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Absolutely uncanny: all the poems shared have touched me at some point. My contribution (with apologies if I missed some lines): When in disgrace with fortune in men's eyesI all alone beweep my outcast stateAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless criesHeaped upon myself and curse my fate.Wishing me to one more rich in hope: featured like himLike him with friends possessed, desiring this man's art and that man's scopeWith what I most enjoy contented least Yet in these thoughts, myself almost despisingHaply I think on thee and then my state:Like to the lark at break of day arisingFrom sullen earth sings hymns at heaven's gate For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

ihateyouandme Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 forget Love Salvate what you still have,Forget all that you've lost,Never cherish, never love,For you know it all ends up in tears. Rage is but a part of change,Lessen it with lessons that have taught you,Not to care too much,Not to get too attached. Give yourself some mercy,Just be alone,Forever,Self-preservation being the reason. Don't ever surrender yourself,To the beautiful danger of love,Shattered hopes are a normalcy,Learn not to have them,Just as you learn not to befriend,Not to trust,Not to love. how about this? well i just think that if you have this kind of outlook it will take less mistakes and more success in your career...hehe..i wish my bf will just let me go..i hate being in a relationship with him..

cleveR_daphne Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) love hurts In the beginning we had a good relationship. He was always there for me when I needed him, and the times we were together we made each other happy. Then things changed. People would talk a lot of gossip to him and he chose to believe them over me. He was always around other girls. He said he never cheated on me but in the end I found out he was cheating. He said he couldn't trust me. He said all I did was lie to him, even though it wasn't true. He told me it was over. When I read the poem Falling in Love With a Player by Lindsey Nicole Milke I realized I did fall in love with a player. Like the poem said, I will always love him but I have to let go of him. For a while I started to cry but now I am getting over it. Since then we have become friends and now we talked more than we used to. I guess the bad part about our relationship was we should have started as friends instead of rushing into things. Don't become lovers before you become friends... Remember, if you fall in love with a player, it will hurt, but there will always be another love. Edited September 9, 2005 by Macy Quote Link to comment
seetheworld Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 i find this beautiful... IF --Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt youBut make allowance for their doubting too,If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breath a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;If all men count with you, but none too much,If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

skull_leader Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I love this poem...nobody knows the author at paiba-iba un title nya sa net... Do not stand by my grave and weep Do not stand by my grave and weep,I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow.I am a diamond glint of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush,I am the swift, uplifting rushof quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starshine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry.I am not there…I did not die. Quote Link to comment
seetheworld Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 from one of my favorite movies - dead poets society.....wish i could live life with this kind of urgency each day... To the Virgins, Make Much of Time-ROBERT HERRICK, 1591-1674 Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,Old time is still a-flying,And this same flower that smiles today,To-morrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he's to setting.That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse and worstTimes still succeed the former.Then be not coy, but use your time,and while ye may, go marry;For having lost just once your prime,You may for ever tarry.

spongebobby Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 somewhere i have never travelled gladly beyond -- ee cummings. somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyondany experience,your eyes have their silence:in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look will easily unclose methough i have closed myself as fingers,you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose or if your wish be to close me, i andmy life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,as when the heart of this flower imaginesthe snow carefully everywhere descending;nothing which we are to perceive in this world equalsthe power of your intense fragility:whose texturecompels me with the color of its countries,rendering death and forever with each breathing (i do not know what it is about you that closesand opens;only something in me understandsthe voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands thanks to a friend for quoting a line from this poem in one of her PMs. Quote Link to comment
