    Endless rolling hills
    Nature's green, rapeseed yellow.
    Everything so slow
    People moan of how things change
    Crazy old-fashioned people

    a blaze you arrived when i
    was busy elsewhere.
    if my car hadn't broken
    down, if you hadn't passed by...

    bells
    shh!!!
    the air and water have been here a long time, and they are telling stories.

    Sundays, deathdays, days
    Of general celebration
    Marriage days, burial days
    The bells sound out loud
    A lost language, long since dead.

    The black leather couch
    Lends me its ceaseless embrace.
    But time matters not,
    For all who enter this realm
    Experience nirvana.

    Silence surrounds me,
    Cool and soft and breathable.
    The weight hovers light.
    Whisper-drunk with the stillness
    of my grey before their dawn.

    wow... tough subject....

    The sunlight glistens,
    Dancing on the water's edge.
    A feeling so foreign.
    Now here we are, face to face,
    The light and I, strangers now.

    How about something along the lines of blindness?

    Malthus will prove right.
    When the oil runs dry, we will
    Let more people starve.
    This overloaded planet,
    Where our blindness procreates.

    The petals emerge,
    No longer afraid of light.
    Delicate moments.
    The night will bring the end, though,
    As this beauty cannot last.

    Sorry... how about moving (away, from one house to another... something like that.)

    Hehe. Thanks, rocksea. (Oh, but by the way, in this thread we're trying to stay with syllables of 5-7-5-7-7 for our poems.)

    Sink into the dark
    soft whiteness of a cool bed
    stiff joints come undone.
    Not the sun's dawn, but the moon,
    Refreshes my dying soul.

    Perfect. I like it, rocksea.

    I came here for you,
    Standing before the abyss
    Will you catch me if...?
    I ran here with my eyes closed
    You alone know what comes next
