Title: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on May 03, 2013, 01:30:52 AM
Waiting

you don't know it but you are right for me
even if you are just a dream, you are right for me
you sitting across the table from me
your face so perfect
my heart beating so fast
breathless
i never thought i would meet you
i yearned for this
an emotional and intellectual connection of this kind
where you take me to a whole new world
on a magical carpet ride
and take my breath away

you don't know what you've done
the fibers you were able to touch
within me
with your words
they captivate my soul
pulling on me
i am a string puppet

can't you see the heat rising from my skin
the desires coming out of me
yes i am silent as a mute
but can't you see
as i sit here across the table from you
not missing a single word
the way they come out of your mouth
the words are lovely
like gold

now it is my turn to talk
did i bore you
or are you hearing music
is your heart beating just as fast
do you feel ready to melt

should we get going out of this place
let's go to a nice room
you are not too rough
nor soft
the perfect blend of what my body craves
you send my blood pumping
seeking to consume you
to taste you
all of you
i must have all of you
ahhh, you're more than a dream
you are real
and this is the best i have ever had
i could just die
willingly inside your arms
always
for eternity i'll be yours
you whisper the same
ecstasy

must i wake up?

I can not tell a dream from reality any longer
Wake me not from this heaven
Hold me a little longer
Touch me until eleven
 
Speak no longer of your desires
Kiss me passionately with all your lust
Together we're a live wire
With every breathe a deeper thrust
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on May 03, 2013, 11:56:17 AM
Let us not wake and see the sun of the living flesh
Let us peer into our own sun
one that we make of our own

Under our own sun
in our own reality
time of eleven is too limiting
why not forever
dear

i fear that if i give in passionately to all my lust
i will lose myself
lose my way
will you always be within every step
never behind or ahead
but right beside me
with your hand in mine
sending warmth up my spine
everytime

only with genuine assurance will i be able to surrender
all of me
to you
with your true self
will this passion completely unfold
where the thrusts be not of sin
but of love
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: proudlao on May 03, 2013, 12:42:31 PM
To you I'll come
Refuge of our very own
Away from the world not seen
Unkind and judgemental
 
Fear not with me, as you can see
Beside you is where I will always stand
Take my hand and press your heart against mine
Like the shadow that never leave you
 
I'll always be near and not a step too far
I hope to see you down the path afar
Where the rainbow meet the valley hills
We'll sealed our trust with lips
 
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on May 03, 2013, 01:20:08 PM
I want not to seal "us" with lips
Lips are superficial things
If you truly love me
Let us seal "us" with our hearts

If you love me true like you say
Do not be my shadow
Shadows are undependable
They only come out when the sun shines
And nowhere to be found when the rain cries

Be the love letter I carry in my heart
Each word carving its place inside my soul
Be the breath that I breathe
The food that fills my hunger
The drink that quenches my thirst
Be these things
For me
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: proudlao on May 03, 2013, 02:02:55 PM
Did I not say press your heart against mine?
If I should disappeared with the rain
I have assured you I am not too far
I will be the very beating of your heartbeat
The words engrave into your soul
I'll be the air for your evert breathe
Do not doubt as our spirits is one
Distant or near I can hear your words
Fulfilling my appetite for your being

Part II.

I lie awake
I feel alone
Nothingness but air

It was not only yesterday
It has been years
To finally arrive here

I tried to hold on
I tried to believe
I tried but it's gone

Nothing is left
Of this nest
Birds have gone south
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: proudlao on May 06, 2013, 10:56:37 AM
The south lay still
Awaiting your arrival
Birds chiping and playing
 
I've been there
Counting many moon
Maybe I'll see you soon
 
Blossoming time
Listen to all those chimes
Come hike your trouble away
 
Many places of serenity
Hidden deep in the mountains and woods
Laid back and breathe the air of Carolinas

Post by: lilly on May 06, 2013, 11:17:32 AM
If I see magnolia trees
Will that be the breeze my heart seeks?
If I walk through the prairie fields
If I brush my hand on soft tall grass
Will that give me peace at last?

If we stop in the same place
And I remember the fire that was once in your gaze
If we drive around the same bend
In the same hour as the crickets chirp
Will that mend all that has ended?

A love lost is a love lost is a love lost
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: proudlao on May 06, 2013, 01:00:51 PM
Some lost love are meant to be found
As time passes and magnolia grows
So are the steps and miles in your life
Rooted deep within you should know
Which path is calling you home
And which ones has ended
Follow the path of righteousness
Like the rows of crape myrtle and dogwood trees
Beauty and happiness beats for you
Get found and return to your root
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on May 06, 2013, 01:10:10 PM
Oh, lover, where art thou?
Has thy heart turn to stone?
Whence upon a time thou sang so sweet to my soul,
Where art thou now?

Thou is neither here nor there
Thou is everywhere

My hand reaches out to grab thee
And whence upon unfolding me palms
What do I see?
Emptiness!

Oh, lover, set me free!
Set me free to sail the horizon
Agree me to be whisk away from thy dying eyes
Let me be set back to life!

I dare not be here another minute
Where I wither at your waste
Let the magic start to flow once again
Me soul
Let there be light, life!

Let us commence here forth
That we wish each other well
Let thee turn left and i'll be turning right
Shall we sign unto a new time?

Like the rows of crape myrtle and dogwood trees

Get found and return to your root

It is a hazy road
In which I neither know if the path is right nor wrong
So weary are the steps I take
For even as crape myrtle and dogwood trees can be seen
I fail to remember if they have meaning to me

So close am I to reaching the finish line
And I fail to remember the source of the fight
Lost love, is it?
Waiting to be found?
But the root has been uprooted to an unfamiliar location
Where only lost love knows.

It appears this heaven sits on an empty island
With light wind blowing on the only
Candle you held lit for all these years
Consumed by the thought of many directions
 
How many times have you stood there and stared
Into your life and wondering if you belong
How often did you drove by your place
Wishing you were in another place
 
Is it you or is it him or maybe them
Can you rekindle, mend the shattered pieces, and reconcile?
Living with secrets and walking in eggshells
The days seem gloomy and your laugh no longer echos
 
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on May 06, 2013, 03:28:46 PM
An empty island made aglow by this lone candle
Blowing in the wind
Every whisper of breeze gives fright
That the glowing might end

Many a times I stood staring into this island
Gathered dried up leaves and sticks
To ignite a blaze
Only to find my wishing to be in another place

This coming and going
Is taking its toll
If I could never read this map
Of directions and roads
To the red with a compass
Because I will never know
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: proudlao on May 16, 2013, 09:21:19 AM
The answer lie within you
How much longer
Will you allow yourself to drift in circle
 
Get off this lonely island
And once you walk among us
There you will find a much sweeter coconut

Gaze

by Lilly (SL)

I want to slow dance with you, but not really
I want to kiss your mouth and taste your lips, but not really
I want to get high off of your scent, but not really
I want to sink into you, but not really
I only want the fantasy

Right now as we lock eyes
Your Come Hither gaze
Is a passion staring at me
Your attentive smile says it's only me
There is a trust
A look of love is held between us
In this infinite moment
Unspoken words are exchanging
We both feel the fire burning
Our hearts and souls in deep conversation
A love connection
A flame of attraction is stirring
As we play with this mutual eye contact
Your grin is seducing romance
And igniting love
Right now as I caress your arms

I want to slow dance with you, but not really
I want to kiss your mouth and taste your lips, but not really
I want to get high off of your scent, but not really
I want to sink into you, but not really
I only want the fantasy
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: lilly on July 23, 2013, 12:54:08 AM
sometimes I stay up at night and think of nothing
sometimes I watch the world go by
I listen to the crickets chirp
I hear the breeze
i close my eyes and exhale
i let it kiss my skin
within these walls of cyberspace
no one is awake
as the dawn approaches
the first glimmer of sunlight
peaks its face at me
i yawn finally and say goodnight
to the day

Soulmate
by Lilly

When upon first meeting there is a familiarity
Our conversation flows easily
Kindred spirits found in each other
Our souls at peace

When neither of us needs to speak
But knows exactly what the other is saying
When a look on my face says it all
There is a gentleness in which he approaches my story

When I need not speak my sorrow
And his heart begins to ache
Every tear he wishes to kiss away
When I am what makes him whole
Even when he has to cross fires
To save a fallen angel

My heart is weak, I cannot be cold
I'd rather not hurt a soul
But what about my happiness?
Does anyone care about my happiness?

What is it that you are searching for?
Will you ever be satisfied?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be happy
I want to be happy
So, please... set me free

Atop the World

by Lilly (SL)

There once was a girl who stood in the midst of swaying jasmine rice
In the middle of a perfect breeze
She was so little but all her senses were at their peeks
This little girl stood there in the middle of the rice field feeling high off of bliss
She thought How beautiful is this, I surely am in heaven
Never to utter those words again

There once was a girl who enjoyed the smell of dry hay
She liked to close her eyes as she hugged and inhaled dry grass
Darkness never dared touch her; time stood still
Never was there an hourglass
She was as happy as a girl could be
Being there with her family

The rolling hills of rice and corn were pleasing to her eyes
She heard her mother say Watch your step darling I don't want to have to hu plig
To have to bring a chicken and an egg all this way to call your soul
So please be a good girl and watch your feet
This here corn is ready to pick, so please bring your kawm and help mommy

Well life took its turn and ran its course
This little girl flew from atop the world to some place new
She lost all her happiness, and bliss never again said How do you do
All she had left was a silhouette hue
Of a girl she once knew

Nicely written. Reading this one took me back to our rice filed. When I was just a little boy with so many responsibiliti es. I love running around that rice fields chasing away the insects and birds. Tending to my fruits, sugar canes, and jicamas. The sound of the distant creek, the wind, and the mothers clearing the field for new crops.

My King
By Lilly

There was a time when my eyes gazed upon the serene meadows,
Once or twice, three times or more,
True joy came to say hello.

But without notice the darkness came,
To engulf me into the vast nothingness,
Where all I feel now is void and emptiness.

You told me you would be back,
I don't know how many centuries have passed,

Did you forget your promise:
That after fighting the dragons,
You would return to your queen;
And we'd live out our happily ever after,
The way you saw in your dreams?
Title: Re: Better than the dream...
Post by: txojhmoo211 on May 03, 2019, 05:50:35 AM

I should stop,
Yet you keep on reviving me.
Your potions of words,
Brings the souls 9 lives to live
I should stop,
For the path of me is unsure.
Your wisdom of love,
Weakens my soul to love.

Love Is A Many Things
By Lilly

Love is a many splendored things:
If it be true, it fares thee well,
If it be false, it is sweet hell.

Love makes the world go round,
Round and round and round and round;
Often it spins our world upside down;
It often teases and makes you weak in the knees;
But if you're not careful, it leaves you in pieces.

It is the sweet budding of spring,
Bringing new life into bloom;
It is the slow poison,
That eats you from the inside,
Spelling your certain doom.

Love is the thing of men's dreams,
It can conquer the world,
Or send you spiraling into committing awful sins.

This is super corny but it’s my first attempt at a Hmong poem so don’t laugh!   ;D

Thaum kuv nrog koj ua ke
Ua rau kuv lub plawv dhia ceev ceev
Thaum tsis pom koj lawm ua rau kuv kho siab heev
Xav nyob ntawm koj ib sab must tag ib txhis
Lub siab thiaj yuav kaj lis

Thaum nyob nrog koj ua ke
Ua rau kuv muaj kev kaj siab
Koj ua rau kuv lub neej ci ntsa iab
Kev hlub nrog koj ua rau kuv lub neej kaj
Xav hlub koj mus tag ib txhis
Tsis muaj hnub yuav yaj

Puas yuaj muaj hmoo wb tau los nyob ua ke
Kuv mam muab tag nrho kuv txojsia rau koj txhais tes
Xav hlub nrog koj txhua xyoo yuav tuaj
Yog tsis muaj koj lawm
Ntshe kuv yuav quaj!

There was a time when I thought I saw your silhouette,
Coming yonder the barren hills,
My heart skipped a beat to think you’ve finally come back to me.

But as true as the sun rises each morning,
‘Twas not you I saw upon the hill,
But my imagination running wild,
And thus, I live everlasting in sorrow still.

You told me you would be back,
Centuries have passed.

I know you have forgotten your promise to me, my king.

You told me that after fighting the dragons,
You would return to your queen,
And we'd live out our happily ever after,
The way you saw in your dreams.

But I know now that you have forgotten about me, my king;
You no longer remember what you saw in your dreams.

I shall sit in wait,
Because my heart is true;
I am true to you, my king.

I shall wait here for an eternity until the sky darkens,
Until all of me vanishes with the wind;
Because when my heart is gone,
Only then will I no longer miss you, my king.

If dreams can be true,
I'd hold onto you till eternity.
If wishes were real,
I'd make a million to be your beating heart.

I'd love to be reborn
To be the fabric that wraps your skin,
And the hands that touches your face.

To become the saliva that lands on your lips
Would be a fantasy come true.
To become the air that you breathe
Would be so exciting for the soul.

I need not tell you how I feel,
For I hope my words come through.
I need not to tell you of your greatness,
For the light is always shining on you my queen.

My king, I have been sitting here for an eternity,
Waiting for you to get to me!

Today I finally received your letter that it will take another life,
Until our love can be realized!

Had you been quicker at heaven’s gate,
We’d be together now, we would not have to wait.

For now, I’ll hold your love inside of me,
I’ll let your love transcend from dreams into reality,
I’ll always have it with me constant in my memory;
I feel your love like a sweet breeze kissing on me,
Your love whispers in my ear,
Like rose petals falling softly on my body.

Your memory will live on in me, my king;
Until we meet again,
Know that my heart is no longer with pain.
