[MBTI General] Just about being.....

[MX5]

Words,
Swirling around – flashing like bright sabers,
Cutting through the fabric of consciousness,
Separating thought from feeling.
How shall I find the…

Words,
That can convey the wholeness of my being
And shine a light across the gap that shields
Me from the rush of you
Who speak so many…

Words,
Contradicting, illogical, unfamiliar, uncomfortable
Yet fascinating how you shape and weave
A warm cloak of ease
And I am …

Captivated…

By…your…

Words

Words

um wow

that is amazing and now I must let
it sink in let it embrace me
I must feel all that it was
intended to be

to read it over and over
and feel every word
making sure no intention
went unheard

pondering upon it I pause
for a mere moment
letting myself think of
it's intent

words.... just words
used to convey a message
and giving forth so much meaning

words that ebb and flow
and intertwine, they weave
in and amongst themselves

alone it's just a word
but together so much more
it's all there for us to read

but it's a different message
for each and everyone
words like art the paper your canvass

 

[MX5]

I reach inside and there are rivers
Each flowing from the indescribable,
I cannot know

They say there can only be desert,
No wellspring to source the torrents
That overflow.

“Hello oddling, how curious your lament
This path is for others, more suited
Status quo.”

Dam that river! Stop them all!
Find your way, be who you are,
Staunch the flow.

I reach inside and there are rivers…

 

[targobelle]

for just a moment I would like
to reach inside
reach in deep and find a desert

to find something baron and
dry a place
that didn't feel and didn't hurt

a place of comfort and
solitude

 

[MX5]

No! No! No! The desert no!
Please dear fairy,
Please do not go!

There’re bugs and spiders,
Snakes and bees.
Please dear fairy, I beg you please!

Don’t go in there,
It’s dry indeed.
But comfort, no. Sunstroke…please!

 

[targobelle]

it would be but for a moment
just to experience some peace
to quiet all these emotions
that never seem to cease

to bring to me a calmness
with some objectivity
and teach me how to breathe
with some relativity

please I beg of you
there must be a way
to quiet all the voices
that have so much to say

to silence all the emotions
that no one seems to see
to bring to me that calmness
and just let me be

but for a moment it's
my one desire
please don't leave me
here in this fire

 

[MX5]

Close your eyes,
Now feel forever dancing through your hair.
It plays in the wind –
Turning, twisting, soundless, barely there.

Raise your palm,
Test the weight of a grain of sand.
A flea's burden,
More than Atlas can stand.

Open your ear
To hear the earth's cry.
Loud as 10,000 rockets.
Softer than an atom's sigh.

The quiet that you seek
Is 'round you, within you every day
It's there for your taking,
You only need to say,

"Leave me Chaos!
Let me have my peace!"
Then…
Close your eyes...
Raise your palm...
Open your ears...
To what is already there.

I'll be there if you need me.

 

[targobelle]

it sounds so simple
if only the chaos wasn't
inside of me

if only the emotion
and all the voices
would let me be

you see I can find
silence in this world
but not within me

 

[MX5]

You put your left foot in,
You take your left foot out.
You do the hokey-pokey,
And you shake it all about...

No! No! No! Wrong solution! (a little INTJ humor there )

You say
You'd like to be
A day,
Emotion-free.

To sit
Peaceful, quiet.
And have
Your thoughts not riot.

But can
You be apart
From life
Within your heart?

It makes
You who you are.
Your joy,
Your guiding star.

You see,
Where most are blind.
You feel,
Inside your mind.

You've made
The world your stage
And so
Must turn the page.

And so,
Dear fairy sweet
Be light
Upon your feet.

And when
The day is done
Fear not
The setting sun.

Trade verse
With me again
And I
Will hold your hand.

 

[targobelle]

but for a moment today
you brought a smile
to my lips

but for a moment today
you gave to me
an outward thought

but for a moment today
I saw beyond what
was in front of me

and gave myself
a moment to breathe


And yet again I shall
retreat to the dark
corners of my mind

And yet again I shall
get caught up in all
the emotion around

And yet again I shall
find myself lost
in painful thought

and find myself overwhelmed
with all I've got

There's nothing that I can
do that will
reverse the past

There is nothing that I can
find that will
change a thing

There's nothing that I can
say that will
stop the pain

All I can do is say
never again

Higgledy-piggledy
there goes dear Htb
composing poetry
at this late hour.

Chronically suff'ring
cacoethes scribendi,
carelessly serving verse
form's abattoir.

 

[MX5]

Every time you blink,
You become another you.
A you that sees the world
In a whole…new…way.

And every you-you
Becomes another you-you
That feels no hurt
Where you ache.

Those new you-you's
See only light
Where you are
In darkness.

And share no past
With you.

So you don’t need
To change the past
Because you-you
Is living it right now.

In the multiverse, you are everything you want to be.

 

[Recluse]

In the multiverse, you are everything you want to be.

Oooh, I like that last line. I will steal it.

 

[targobelle]

Oooh, I like that last line. I will steal it.

so what yah gonna do with it?

 

[targobelle]

Like I am lost in some
sort of alternate world
free to be who I am

free to fly and soar and
leave behind me all the
pain and worry of today.

oh how glorious that would
be, to escape to a
happier place

to a place where I can
live in my fantasy
and all reality escapes me

my whole being hungers for
that, where I know who i
am and there are no illusions

where I can be open and honest
and just be, with no expectations
of who you thought I was

life comes and with it brings forth
highs and lows, mountains
and valleys alike

like a roller coaster of emotion
and I soar and dip with it
I feel it all

oh please turn off the emotion
I don't want to feel that from you
I don't want to know

oh please please please just stop
no don't go there stop please
hear me now hear my heart

it cries out for you it aches for you
and you turn away
you can't trust anymore

ever, and ever still will you ever
forgive and stop faking it
it wasn't so bad

just a lapse in judgment a
moment of weakness
I sit here and wait

as a puddle of tears
forms infornt of me
as I sob

please i cry out again
please hear my heart
it aches for you


you see I hurt

I hurt a lot

inside my shell

there lies a heart

painfully broken

 

[MX5]

If only
There was a glue that
Could bind the pieces of a broken heart
Could mend the bridges burnt between us
Could tie together those cast apart

If only
There were words that
Could bring forgiveness to the hardened heart
Could erase the mistakes that hurt so bad
Could dry the tears that flow so bitter

If only
There were times that
Could go on forever in joy and peace
Could be remembered when you were in love
Could ease the burdens of the past

If only
You
Could feel, but not suffer for feelings
Could only cry tears of joy and happiness
Could forgive yourself

 

[targobelle]

sitting, waiting, quiet

emotion, reflection, hurt

I am here
I am waiting
I am lost
I am hurt
I am confused
I am overly emotional
I am over whelmed
I am here
I am waiting

 

[Recluse]

I am enjoying the poetry ping-pong!
