My Poems

[Tara22]

Thank you so much Kristy...

you watched part of the new episode? how did you do that?

you being in Adelaide and all....



I know how you feel and I haven't even watched it yet...



don't worry! & forever!!!

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?





Willow: Magic

[KISMIC]

Uhh I downloaded the new episode off of www.buffyverse.de


Our school has DSL Ohh yeah, took exactly two minutes to download the entire episode...Not that we're supposed to or anything, but....It's funny but nobody's really talking about the new eps at all, usually you can't help but stumble over thousands of spoilers!





And uhh yeah, on topic:


Willow

Tara

Good





*~Kristy~*

[Tara22]

lol! Wow... you are good at this downloading thing, my computer won't even let me into that site....



anyway, yeah, lots and lots of spoilers around, I know what you mean.....



Edited cause hehe, me being little-miss-perfectionist (pft! like I am!) saw a typo and had to fix it...)

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?

Okay the site address was wrong so it isn't a surprise that you couldn't get it working. It used to be that but it must've changed cause I just kept playing around with the .de part until it worked. The addy is:


www.buffyverse.info


Should work now. Of course I in *no way* can be blamed for you spoiling yourself beyond belief...Just to be clear


So again, poetry...Post more...please! God we're bad Tara22 we just keep on switching topics in all the threads : Yeahh I'm baaddd..or bound to be banned!

[TheWhiz]

Fantastic new poem Tara22!!

Lovely words, I found the following very effective:



'Watch your breath slowly enter and leave your body

Not understanding how it could bear to be away from you for even a moment'

Beautiful!



More poems please!

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


"Make your own kind of music"-Mama Cass

[pacou]

Yeah, need to have more, too!



I think this one wasnt that depressing, it was just pure love



Thank you!



And the new episode...no Tara, just a little bit Willow...bad epsiode Hehe and I can tell that, cause Ive only downloaded the Willow parts so far. But Taraless episodes are always bad and so its much better to come here and read such a good poem!

I liked this, the image of Willow just watching Tara, marvelling at the little things like breathing.

Wow! You have posted quite a bit since I last stopped by. Your latest three poems are wonderful. I especially liked the one from Tara's point of view about having to leave Willow. I think it really captured the feeling of Tabula Rasa. Well done!

Oh I liked this. I liked it a lot. especially the bit that molly quoted. I think i have often thought the same thing. you truly are a remarkable poet dear. and it is really wonderful to have another poet in our midst. keep posting these lovely lovely poems. i need my fix!!!



*woof*

I will go put some clothes on, ok.




Oh sweet Cheez-Its yes!

[Tara22]

New Poem! (which I'm sure you probably gathered by the subject...)



Thanks so much for all your feedback!!!



Kristy: Thanks again, and thanks for the website, that ep is SO sad! (the lack of Tara)



TheWhiz: Thanks!!! I am so glad you liked it!!



Viv: Thanks!! I have to aggree with you, it wasn't really supposed to be depressing, just



mollyig: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!



ninjitsugrrl: Wow, I must have seemed like a total cow (if you read this before now and this wasn't there...) sorry, missed your review when I was replying... but thanks!!! I'm glad you like my poems!!! Thanks for reading them



bulldog tidnab: aaaw thanks!! you are so nice! I am glad that you liked my poem (thanks for the muse )



yes, well, I wrote this new one last night but I'm not sure that I even like it... (which can't be very good seeing as how if I don't like it you surely won't...) but I decided to post it anyway....



It's aggravating, I have started and even written a number of poems but they just feel wrong!



but I figured I may as well just post this one....



hope you like it!



Another Willow after Tara's death poem (I have got to write more happy stuff!)





Time is a total mystery to me

Sometimes one second can last a lifetime

The time we spent together

Every tiny little moment



The day we met

The spell

The rose

The choice

The laughs

The tears



Every kiss

Every touch

I can still feel it



But then sometimes

When we least expect it

Time turns against us



A second

One tiny little second

And you’re gone

One moment you are here

We are together

I am complete

And then you are gone

Leaving me empty

Only a shell of what I once was



It is times like now that I can’t stand this world

The way things turn out

How things so horrible can happen to the person least deserving of them



I wish I could understand it all

I wish I could understand how it works

Why it works…



Why the world hasn’t frozen

How it could possibly still be moving

The sun still shining

The water still flowing

Going on as usual

When, clearly, there is no point

There is no purpose



I’m living here

Living in this place

Forever lost in this time

This memory

Clinging with all I have

With all my being

To that last moment

Before that one tiny second

Not able to face

The cruel

Harsh

Reality



I’m searching

Always looking for you

In my head

With my heart

I always find you

Over and over again

You’re there



The seconds we spent filling me like a lifetime



Time is a total mystery to me….





Edited cause I forgot to reply to a review... (sorry...)

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?

[pacou]

How did I miss this?

Anyways, eventually I read it and I love it!



I wanted to post the lines I love the most again, but then I realized I had to post your whole poem and I think thats useless But I loved the spell and the choice thing!



But I also have to agree that you have got to write happier ones, because sad poems just pull you down and make you all, well sad



Although I love your sad ones, I wouldnt mind some happy ones! Just to have the balance



Hey may I just ask, what´s with only in my dreams? I know you are probably very busy, but Id like to read more of this one, too. What can I do, Im kinda greedy

Wow! I loved your poem. Beautiful words and I agree with pacou, it was very hard to pick any favourites due to this. I loved the whole imagery of time- it worked really well.



I seem to be in the same situation as you at the moment, I've started several poems but can't seem to finish them! Also they are all sad! I write 'happy' only on rare occasions!!



Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for the comments!!! Wow!! people liked it



you guys are just too great!!



Viv: aww thanks! really glad you liked it! I shall atempt a happy one soon

I'm updating 'Only in my dreams' really soon (yay! I totally love you for asking!) I'm in the middle of writing it, will try and get it up by tonight



(just noticed the abundance of the word soon, there has got to be another word, hm.... momentarily? no.... shortly... I dunno *shrugs* soon works..)



Whiz: I'm so happy that you liked it! Thanks so much for reviewing... Oh... you too then? (bout the poetry problem thingy) well, it's really weird, but I wanna try some happy ones more, did you find it easier or harder to write the happy ones? (guessing that they are hard)





Thanks again guys!!!

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?

[TheWhiz]

Hey there!

I sure am having the same problem as you & its driving me mad!! You guessed right I find happy or positive poems much harder! . I supose it depends very much on my mood -I'm not saying I'm always depressed or sad cos I'm not but then it is easier to dwell on things and write!!

Anyway good luck with writing the happy!

[tiredsoul]

Just wanted to dop in and say that I have really enjoyed your poems. If I chose, and I'm not 'cause they're all great, my favorite one was the reflection one. This stanza just spoke volumes:



And sometimes I just hold you close

The silent words passed from heart to heart

Not needing to be said

But saying more than I ever could



I look forward to more.

[Tara22]

Here's a new one and yay!!! It's not all sad and depressing!!



Whiz: I know what you mean!! believe me! mine depend on my moods too, and strangly enough I write my saddest poems sometimes, when I feel really happy it's kinda weird....



celia: Thanks!! really glad you liked my poems







Hope you guys like this one



It's a Tara thinking about Willow poem







I want nothing more

Than to stay like this forever

Your warm breath

Against my neck

Sending little shivers down my spine



I want nothing more

Than to freeze this moment

Capture the way your body feels against mine

The way your lips are curled into that tiny smile

Like you have a secret that is too good to keep



I want nothing more

Than to run my hands through your silky red hair

While you sleep

Knowing that when you wake up, you will still be mine

Knowing that you will still want me to be yours



I want nothing more

Than to lie here and memorize your body

Every single curve

To hold you tight

And connect

The two of us one

Fitting perfectly



I want nothing more

Than to stay like this forever

To be with you

To love you

Until the end of time

And beyond



I want nothing more

Than you

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?

This was beautiful. So much being said and then it just comes down to:



I want nothing more

Than you



Thanks for sharing.

[pacou]

Yay! A happy one



I must totally agree with celia, the last two lines are simply beautiful!



Now I read it and now Im going to school with a mood thats much better! You see, Im online in the morming just to check all your good thingies that I find here



Thank you, looking forward to the next ones! Not only the good ones, but also the bad ones! Im looking forward to all of your stuff

I agree with Celia as to the essence of the poem being that everything she could ask for can be granted with just the presence of Willow. Lovely!

Lovely poem

And go you! All with the positive and happy, I knew you could do it.

I agree with the others the last 2 lines were very effective and summed up the piece beautifully.

"Make your own kind of music"-Mama Cass

[ninjitsugrrl]

You express such a lovely sentiment in this poem! I also think that the repetition of the opening line of each stanza is very effective. Well done!

[Tara22]

new one! (as I am sure you can tell by my topic ) and I am deffinitly seeing a pattern with my writing style here... glad you all like my poem! hope you like this one too!



Celia: Thanks so much!! glad you liked it



Viv: , see I have faith in myself, I managed to produce a happy poem, and oo! go me! made you go to school happy, that is some acheivment (I never go to school happy oh! why on earth did I just wink *shrugs* )



mollyig: Thanks!!! I am really glad that you liked it!!



Whiz: why thank you... kinda shocked myself actually, I didn't plan on the poem coming so easily, thought it would be a struggle. don't even try and ask me what I was supposed to have been doing when I wrote it...



ninjitsugrrl: aaaw thanks! glad you liked it! and glad you liked the repeated first stanza thing, my new poem is like that too. hope you like!



ok, now for my little bit of completely-off-the-topicness

how cute are the new emoticons (ok, just HAD to use that one!)





okies, here it is, also a Tara thinking about Willow one...



If I’d never found you

I’d never have opened my heart

Never have known how good love can feel



If I’d never found you

I’d never have appreciated the small things

Like a single blissful moment

Or a tiny little smile



If I’d never found you

I would never have seen the world

Seen all that makes life so important

Just by looking into your eyes



If I’d never found you

I would never have felt

Your touch

The tiniest

Little touch

Sends shivers down my spine



If I’d never found you

I can’t imagine where I’d be

Without your love

Without your soul



If I’d never found you

I would never have found myself

Edited by: Tara22 at: 10/7/02 3:40:16 am

[TheWhiz]

Beautiful poem, lovely words. Go you all with the light and happy!

The repition at the beginning of each stanza with the line 'If I’d never found you' was very effective.

Once again well done!

Yup...a little sad, but very much how I would see Willow taking everything after what happened. Great job

I loved this part. Even though I hate to think about Willow after Tara's death, I still get shivers thinking about the shooting scene... *cry*



The poem is so beautifully written, you vividly describe Willow's sense of pain and grief. *grumbles* ME need to read some of your poems...



Thanks for sharing it, sweetie

Wow, you can really feel the raw pain and emotion in this piece which makes it hard to read but shows how powerful your words are.

Oh this was very powerful. the entire poem. I can't pin done any line in particular as the most moving because it was all so incredibly painful. (i mean that in a good way) This was almost physically painful to read.

Bravo!
