Amaryn's poems 2012

she was glued against the wall
not meaning to impress
waiting for a call
in s shiny latex dress
resembling an insect
sittting in the sun
not keeping up appearances
just wishing life was fun

really, latex dress?

well, lol, this being another observation walking around town, That's life, as Franky Sinatra sings

It is... but I got your point.

You duh best,Dude!

there is a window , she can see
a garden with an old birch tree
her world is frail, still in a mess
she sometimes whispers one word."stress"

there is a window, she can smell
the difference of flowers well
but when her nightmares reappear
she wishes someone would be near

there is a window, she can feel
the warmth of sunlight , it is real
that's when she hopes she will go home
no longer be too long alone

the urgency to protest
brought me closer
to the seed of creativity

the nearness of nature
observing the changing colours
of the wintergarden
provoked hidden senses inside me
to come forward

making dreams come true
meant a resounding victory
for my hazardous adventures

Selfportrait begs me to ask,"Do you live close to nature?"I ask this because of your often forest references.It shows through your work and I'd be amazed if you couldn't see Trees and Owls through your window.Either that or you've got one heck of an imagination!

well, Doug, in Finland nature is always close, one way or another, but we live in the only big city with 1 million people. A short walk though and we have a rather big forestpark already to enjoy and 1 mile only to the seaside
Moreover, as a child we moved to a very small village in Holland with almost nothing but forest and farms around us.
When I lived in Glasgow a bus took me in half an hour to the foot of the Highlands.

Dear DarkOne: To answer your question--Yes, your meaning is perfectly expressed, all but for one word (unreasonable); yet even that word is understandable. Probably the English word you looked for was "unbelievable!" ["unreasonable" actually means it makes no sense--yet we understand you, my friend!] "Unbelievable!" is an exclamation of astonishment!--Something so impressive so as not to seem true or real, but it is true and real! when used in this fashion. Your words are very eloquent, DarkOne.

I think you explained it better than I did. So, yes, Dark must have meant that

By the way, Dark: it does not mean your command of the English language is not good, my friend! You rock!

jealousy, awkward, ugly and mean
imminent insinuations between
lines looking written hidden so well
- the threat of the ATL

sheer admiration, tenderness too,
only a stonethrow away there is you
stories and words shaped so very well
- another side of ATL

each of us posting his beloved songs
reflecting favourite countries and tongues
busy bees searching their most wanted smell:
- it's all part of ATL

poetry shaping emotions of love
memories written of lives getting tough
searching for roads between heaven and hell
this is our ATL

brushing your teeth with salt
at fourty maintaining you're old
in summerwind feeling cold

hoping that others will pay
nothing constructive to say
loosing too often your way

obese while being too thin
feeling alone though a twin
foodprogrammes doing you in

all these and many things , true
are they familiar to you
tell me now what can you do
will you surrender- you too?

You know something;I read Atl right after Model Behavior.Do they have a similar beat or was that just me?I swear,The first two stanzas especially seem to "bounce"the same way;it just rocks along!What do you think?
AWARENESS:Wow,if I didn't know you better,I'd think you lost your mind;which isn't always a bad thing!"obese while being too thin".......please explain,I'm dying to know!!!!!

"obese while being too thin", it's clear: the Aerobics Ladies fairly underweight and still thinking they are too fat,lol
Common feature of annexis nervosis......

As regards "brushing your teeth with salt" it also refers to a trend I remember from younger years to "expell the bugs" hahaha,Doug

And who doesn't know about foodprogrammes ruling OK?

Hope this cleared up your skyline


O yeah, about the first thing you mentioned: I agree. Happened just that way- without intention!

Thanks,Amaryn.You explained just fine.I was half asleep when I replied!They still brush their teeth with Baking Soda,now there's toothpaste with Baking Soda which is real salty.
