Hey Kittens,



I think my muse is slowly coming back and I had some late night inspiration in the early hours of this morning. I'm not sure how things are going with W/T right now (because I'm half a season behind most Kittens), so this is something about bad times and the road ahead. As with my poetry thread at the old board (now archived), all feed back is always welcomed and appreciated.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



As the tide rolls in, the winds blow south,

And the waters of streams flow down,

That journey called life keeps moving on

And you walk down the path you’ve found.



As the sun rises and sets each day

And time just passes by,

As the years come and go, you think

Just how life seems to fly.



Through the ups and downs you know

That tomorrow will certainly come.

Things might not be how you want,

But there is always work to be done.



When the road seems long, times are tough

And all appears to be wrong,

Hold your head up high, look straight ahead

And know you must go on.

Hey Pixie.



I love your poems...they are very beautiful! Perhaps you could post some of your old ones too??

--Er du måske læge??--

Thanks for your comments, Kitties. I'm glad you like my work.



Enig - I think it may be best to leave the old poems where they are in the Pens Archives. If you want to read them again, go here or you can read them at my site, though the later ones haven't been posted there yet.



Thanks again. Let's hope that I don't lose my muse again (lol. that kinda rhymed).

"...the hardest thing in this world is to live in it..."
~Buffy, 'The Gift'.

beautiful poem. i really enjoy reading your work.

Tara: Do you mind if I keep the light on? I was gonna look up some spells.
Willow: That's fine, I don't need to be snuggled...
Tara: Vixen!

Missed you...Welcome back !



For some weird reason,I think that was full of hope...Maybe it's just me...

Beautiful poem, I loved it. I know all about the ever elusive muse, mine decided to take a 5 yr. vacation and just returned. Don't ever let yours get away. You have so much talent.

"We few, we happy few."
"We band of buggered."

Great goddesses, this stuff is addictive It struck me as a poem about "life" with the path you must travel and the obstacles on your way, that destiny each of us has, but doesn't know beforehand where it will lead us to, how we will get there. Intriguing...

Thanks for your sweet comments, Kittens. They mean a lot to me. Really, they do.



Lucy, you're so sweet! I missed you too! lol



OK, here's another poem I wrote last week. I wrote it on Monday, I think. It started off as a lonley-night type of poem, then turned into one about Willow and Tara in 'The Gift' before they and the rest of the Scoobies had reached the tower. Let me know what you think... I always appreciate your comments. Here we go...





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



As the moon rises

and the stars appear,

The air grows even colder

as the end draws near.



I follow as you wander

to the tower of despair

And I feel my heart sadden,

As your mind’s no longer there.



I yearn to have you near me.

Back where you belong.

I know that I’ll restore you

and nothing will go wrong.



I’ll bring you back to my world

Of joy and pure love.

Just hold on and wait for me baby.

I know you’re strong enough.

Hi Pixie.

Wow, I loved the last one, especially verse 2... You capture the feelings so beautifully!!

Thanks for your link...I've bookmarked it now

See you around...

--Er du måske læge??--

Pixie, you just gave me the chills. Beautiful poem.



Tolley

Love the poems, Pixie Muso, especially some of stanza structures and rhyming. And the words, too.

Maybe we should focus on the gobbledygook?

Thanks for your comments, Kittens. Sadly, I have no poetry to share with you today, as my writing muse has left me (yet again). I guess my mind's been on a series of canvases I've been painting for the past few weeks (and shall continue to paint for the next 4 months). Hopefully something poetic will pop into my head soon.



Thanks for your support.

"...the hardest thing in this world is to live in it..."

As Xander would say- Merciful Zeus! You're a painter AND a poet? Are your paintings as good as your poetry? Ok, that was an unfair question- sorry. I loved them both, and would you mind horribly if I set the first to music? I had an idea when I was reading it. Not like I'd ever get a chance to share it with anyone anyway, but I won't if you don't want me to.

Aww... you're really sweet, RealLiveTara. Yes. I paint. I've posted some drawings on the board before. They'll be archived somewhere from the old board.



As for your request, do you mind if I get back to on that one? It's just that I've already started putting music to that poem. Y'see, I'm also a musician. That's where the "Muso" part of my name comes from. So... I'll get back to you on it. OK?



Again, I think you're really sweet. Thanks so much for your feedback.

I'm with Lucy on the 1st one,Pixie Muso,and the 2nd draws pictures for me when I read it,which is perhaps the point-but what do I know...



Oh well,liked 'em both,so there !

vive,valeque.

I've just read both of your poems, wow! In the 2nd poem you have really captured the emotion of the scene. I look forward to reading more of your work.

"I am a whiz...If ever a whiz there was"

I love these two poems - they really made me goosebumpy! I want to be able to write like you! Ah well, I'll settle for another of your poems.....please?

WILLOW: Where would you go? If you felt lost
and alone? Where would you go?

TARA: To you.

Okay, I will keep this short and simple..Want Pixie to post more poetry!!! Come on Pixie, help me keep poetry alive and kickin on the board. I need your help!!!

"We few, we happy few."
"We band of buggered."

Hey Kittens. I think I actually started this poem about a week ago. We Aussies finally saw 'Tabula Rasa' on Monday, so I'd say that it was the inspiration for this piece. So I'd place after Tara's left the house and Michelle Branch has just finished singing 'Goodbye To You' (Jeez that song is amazing) Let me know what you think...



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



What have I done?



What can I do? What can I say?

I’ve felt so empty since you went away.

I lost my love and I miss you baby.

Where can I find you? Where can you be?

Will you come back? Will you stay?

Will you be the light that brightens my day?



I was your’s and you were mine.

I thought our hearts would always intertwine.

But now you’ve fled. Now you’re gone.

How could everything go so wrong?

From what I knew, you’d always stay.

Though now you’ve left to make your own way.



Please come back into my arms

And let me succumb to all your charms.

I need to have you here with me.

Just let me be your Willow tree.

No magic, nor spells. I will conform

To be with you baby. You’ll keep me warm.

P.S. - Drakkenfyre, I'm trying hard to keep the poetry part of the board alive and kicking... it's just that my damned blasted muse keeps leaving me. Hey! Maybe that's what my poem's really about! lol

-------------------------

"...the hardest thing in this world is to live in it..."
~Buffy, 'The Gift'.

Hi Pixie, I really like your new poem, you have captured Willow's thoughts and feelings extremely well, you can really feel the emotion in your words. I watched the end of 'Tabula Rasa' last night so I can definately see where your inspiration came from!



I totally agree about 'Goodbye To You' it is an amazing song! I recently bought Michelle Branch's album solely on the basis on this song and believe me the rest of the album is as fantastic!



Hope your muse will now return to you! , as I look forward to seeing more of your work.

"I am a whiz...If ever a whiz there was"

Pixie... I must say that I love all of the poems that you have posted! I hope you post more soon, but I understand that it is hard to write sometimes...



You have a great talent!!
