Niamhs poems

[Niamh]

Silently the sea rolls softly on the sand,
Gently carressing small wet shells that shine in the light.
Not far out i can see a ferry heading towards Land
And watch as the gulls on the rocks take flight.
I lift my camera and take some shots of Howth
To the north, Dublin and Wicklow to the South...
And i sit, putting my camera down, shrug off my coat
And let the warn sun touch my skin, a smile shapes my mouth.
The sand feels soft and gentle on my fingers as I
Dig my nails in. I close my eyes, listening
To waves crashing, other people on the beach, birds in the sky...
I open my eyes and look at the water, the heavenly sun glissening
Silver on the waves... and i wonder what it would be like to share
The feeling of tranquility beside someone to love, someone to care...

[Niamh]

This is a poem i wrote years ago and put into my blog but never entered here...


June

So softly swishes leafy trees of summer
as the gentle breeze caresses the green.
the heat of june shows misty horizons haze,
a blanket for lovers lying lazily in the shade.
Daisies sway and dance a union with blades of grass,
the birds above sing melodies of warm heart filled bliss.

This one, "June" sounded so pleasant to the "ear." All those "s" sounds, similar to the breezes it describes. All too often we poets manque worry about the sense to the detriment of the sound, not in this one, though. Great job, Lass!

[Niamh]

Hey thanks Auntie! I have always liked that little poem.

[Stargazer86]

This is so lovely The poem itself gives me a feeling of tranquility and such pretty pictures in my mind

[Niamh]

Thanks Star.

REMEBRANCE reflects well of many countries where the war rages on and touches all of us in our meditation. Great poem!

JUNE reminds me of spring of my country and I am sure it is the same in your part of the world. June would be at the end of spring and at the beginning of summer. Warmth prevails already all around the country. Glimpse of hope!

THOUGHT ON THE BEACH reminds of the sea shore of Korea where I sat for a long time listening to the wave hitting the rocks. I always like to be alone on the beach, which is just my personal preference.

BE NOT CAGED DEAR HEART

Sing with joy, play a merry rhythm, for
Soon, who knows, those shackles might
Rust, the heart might sicken with poison.
And for love...it may be too late.

Why ends with such prediction of "rust?" Why not keeping youthful ignorance
and illusion for a while longer?

I like all your poems and keep at it since you are good at it!

SHATTERING THOUGHTS brought back the time I spent with a good friend. We used to walk from one end of a city to the other end, chatting. I do not remember what we talked about, but it was delicious and it was a treasure I lost.

As i lie down to rest
my head is filled with thoughts
of future emotions and troubled past.
Sometimes eyes glisten,
tears forming on surface fighting for release.
Darkness overcomes,
And as i lie dreaming
My dreams are filled with thoughts
of future emotions and troubled past.

Did you find the title to this poem?
You seemed like having a restless night.

GOODBYE: Now you have written a poem about the person, you will not forget him?
We do not easily forget those who give such positive influence.

And now, I can't wait for June! Lovely.

Okay so this expression has been in my head the last day or two. While in work it popped into my head. suddenly i was writing down a poem and when i finished, i read it and i was a bit surprised. I cant help think of it as a bold statement. And i'm not sure about it.
But here it is. Please let me know what you think.

Is Mise Me Fein
Is mise me fein
I am no one else
Take me as I am.
All flaws, all warts,
All virtues, all passions,
I'll change for no one.

I am myself
I am no one else
Take me as I am.
My heart laughs with joy,
And it cries with sorrow,
I'll change it for no one.

Is mise me fein
I am no one else
Take me as I am.
You can either love me
Or you can hate me...
I'll change for no one.

I am myself
I am no one else,
Take me as I am.
All flaws, all warts
All virtues, all passions
I'll change for no one.

Is mise me fein
I am no one else...
I'll change for no man.

And it cries with sorrow,
I'll change it for no one.

I think it is beautiful. I come a long journey to be where am I now and I expect to rest here and there and then put on my well worn boots - thankful that such scenic spots exist I reflect to make the changes I believe are needed to travel forward.

You wrote my heart with conviction. Thank you

So i've been rummaging around my room trying to sort some things out for my big move tomorrow and i came across a small browning slip of paper with a poem i scribbled on and dated 8/05/05.

So i thought i'd share it with you all.

Remember

When you have time to think
Remember i am there for you.
And every time your eyes blink
Remember i am there for you.

I understand that times have faultered
Friends may have drifted
Love may have aultered...

But dont forget those who care
For they are the ones whose love you share.

Remember true friends love is true.
Remember i am there for you.

[Helga]

'Is Mise Me Fein' I loved that one
