The Deecho's Poetic Side

[The Deecho]

Well I finally figured why not? I write everything else, why not poetry? K, so it's not brilliant stuff, but so what. It actually started as my GG signature and I just added - anyway.......

"To Vanish, Return, and be Gone"
© May 10, 2006 by The Deecho

"And slowly, so slowly, I fade.
Until like a wisp of barely lingering fog I drift.
Then as a whispering wind smears my vague image
I am spread thin, like a ghost dying,
And I disappear completely

But only things that are forgotten are gone forever,
And I dwell still in your memory.
You wonder, chasing after me in your dreams,
So I teasingly appear to you again....

A shadow falls, conceals me
And with muted footsteps - or perhaps no footsteps at all, for later there are no footprints - I make my secret departure,
and slip away through the dark to merge with the night,
never to be heard from or seen again.
But of course I never really was, was I?
Because you imagined me, so I came.
But I am gone now, because you have forgotten."

*Claps*

Very very good! I really liked it ;D. I should post something in my poem thread soon......

[The Deecho]

Thank you, Caroline. (Okay, you may have noticed with a raised eyebrow or two that it's taken me over two months to post a simple thank you to Caroline's praise, which is rediculous considering how often I get on, but the truth is that the purpose of this post is not to say thank you. I decided to post another poem thingy, and only then realized I had not yet said thank you. Better now than never, eh?)....... K, well, this one was actually written as a song that goes along with a book I'm writing but pish posh never mind about that......(the book is called Circle's End, so I guess that's what the poem/song will be called too)

"Circle's End"
© July 28, 2006 by The Deecho

"One single leaf falls alone
Where it lands, it shakes the earth to its bones
Like it's heavy and worldly fatal
Not delicate and graceful

The sound of thunder comes before the strike of lightning
It's beautiful, but beauty and wonder are fighting
The dream here is so strong
The lost are where they belong

The clouds move against the wind
Here, all the circles end
And the sky that's the limit falls down

Imagination is really just a memory
In dreams, we glimpse what was once our reality
The heat of the night, and the cold of the day
The predator is hunted by the prey

It rains and it shines, and the forest slowly shrinks away
The truths that shaped the past are contradicted and betrayed
I've awakened into a dream
Where the past can't be redeemed

The clouds move against the wind
Here, all the circles end
And the sky that's the limit falls down

I lay down, willingly letting in doom
The strangeness left a wound
Like from the blade of a knife
And maybe here, dying brings life

The clouds move against the torrid wind
All of the circles break and end
The highest of flight reaches the ground
As the sky that's the limit falls down."

Wow. That was really good, you are such a good writer. I feel silly posting my peoms now, lol.

[The Deecho]

Don't feel silly, you are a very good poem writer. And if you think I'm a really good writer, then that praise is very high coming from me, right? Here is a shorter thing I just wrote off of a sudden whim. Actually, it stemmed from something I was going to post in randomness, but it sounded more poetic. Anyway, it might not make perfect sense upon first reading it - that is to say, the point might not be obvious. But it does have meaning

"Disuasion of the Whole"
© August 4, 2006 by The Deecho


"Don't go that way, it's too far off
The earth just before you opens like a canyon
Expanding like the vastness of distance made to travel
Fooled by the power mind has over eyes
Which see all at once the trials of your quest
Formed as one obstacle, solid made of many
That reeks overwhelmingly of stark impossibility
And makes the first and easy simple step of progress
One seen for what it's not, that you will never try to take"

[NightStarFairy]

Lol, I just realized that I spelled poems "peoms" in my last post, silly me.
Thank you, I'm glad you like my stuff I write.

I like this new one you wrote, I had to read it twice cause I didn't get it at first, it is very good though.

[The Deecho]

Here's another one! This one is kinda . . . different. But whatever. It's currently called "Imagine Nature's Journey, Don Nature's Mask"

"Thunder is my heartbeat
The moon holds my reflection
Trees are my fingers
Reaching through the ground.

I am partner to the night,
For darkness is my shadow
The sky is my window
Like glass that lightning cracks.

I am humbled by the rain
The mist is my breath
Summer is my smile
And the eye of the storm is my view.

The aid of nature,
The belief in dreams,
One's faith in imagination
Makes my path not what it seems.

The world inspires me
The wildnerness challenges me
I am propelled by the wind
With the essence of my dreams as my cause."

[NightStarFairy]

That's cool, and I like your signature.

[The Deecho]

Thanks. Lol, and I like my signature too

[NightStarFairy]

It's great, lol. I want to read more of your poem's, there good.

[The Deecho]

Thanks. But I don't have anymore - at least not at the moment. I need inspiration . . . . .

[NightStarFairy]

I need inspiration to......

[Dragondrake]

I really like your poems. It makes me want to start a poem thread of my own, yet I've never shared any of my poetry with anyone before. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

The wanderer is wandering again
Drifting - drifting without end
Drawn forward, ironically, by the past
By a meaningless instilled that should never have to last
She's searching - searching for a meaning
That may not exist outside of dreaming
Sleepwalking to the edges of the earth
To find some meager sign of inner worth

The dreamer is dreaming again
wishing - wishing this dream could end
And give way to a reality as beautiful and kind
as the destiny he pretends his life will define
But faith is so much different than powerless hope
and without it, he will always be helplessly alone

Sparks of faith won't come from fate
Destiny won't compensate
A mind is all that can decide
To control one's fate from the inside

So dawns the day
when a wanderer that's gone astray
and a dreamer who's been wrong
who has been dreaming for too long
dare to give fate a faithful chance
and so destiny flies down and weaves a dance
That brings together two lost souls
and gives to them precious control
to wield their lives on their own whim forever
As a dreamer and a wanderer are brought together.

I Love it!!! It's very good.
