Poetry by Pixie

[Pixie-Muso]

Hey kittens!

Suddenly, I've been having these poetic surges bursting out of me and I had been asked in my last poem's thread if I had any more poetry. So I thought that since I've been writing more lately, I'd post them in a new thread. I keep thinking of things through the mind of Tara... basically these are about Willow.

It's been kinda different for me to write in this rhyming prose. I don't usually write this way (not that I write poetry that often - just lately having these sudden urges). I feel like a jester or something speaking the prologue in a Shakespearean play. Oh well. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated. But, please be gentle. Pweeazze??? lol

Here goes...

********************

I’d always felt alone in the world
Until you came into mine.
There’d been nothing for me ever to hold
In all the years gone by.
Nothing had ever brought joy to me
So much as time spent with you.
Now my heart is filled with so much glee
Because I gave it to one who’s so true.
Never in my life have I felt so loved
By one I truly adore.
Our lives entwined, the fates have spun,
I pray forever more.

*********************

An Ode to Willow

Willow is the one I truly love,
She must’ve come down from up above.
I swear that she’s perfect in every way
And is always there to brighten my day.
Her smile is sweet. So gentle, her touch.
I still can’t believe how I love her so much.
When I feel lost, I just think of her face.
The next thing I know, I’m no longer displaced.
She lights up my life with all she may be,
I never thought I’d know a life filled such glee.
It’s not hard to know, when push comes to shove
That Willow is the one I truly love.

Very sweet. It brings me back to the good old days, sitting in English, discussing the finer points of sonets and other love poetry...*sigh*...simpler times where the words came so easy. Please, share more!

"I'm a very self-centered poet...all of my poems are about 'I'. I can just picture it now, the title of my first book of poetry will be: 'An egocentric book of self-centered poems by someone arrogant enough to think someone would want to spend money on a book of poems about her selfish, boring existence'."
~"Josephine"

Thanks fr the kind words, Quill. I've just created a poetry page for my site, just this minute. Here's the URL: http://www.geocities.com/pixie_muso/poetry.html

A new poem just came upon me... I just wrote it this minute....

**********

Darkness came,
Shadows fell,
Caused by moonlit glow.
A match was struck,
The candles lit,
Inside the wiccas' room.
Spells were cast,
Incantations said,
Blessed be it was.
The night was long,
They went to bed,
And together they made love.

Beautiful! I just love your poetry.

[nika]

That last one was beautiful, got some great images from it.

[Scout]

Oh, these are so sweet. They really capture their love.

[Pixie-Muso]

Awww... thanks for your sweet comments kittens. I'll try and write some more.

[Pixie-Muso]

I'm taking a new turn on the poetry. This poem is actually written from Willow's point of view. I guess it's kinda season 4-ish... around the time of "Who are You?". Any feedback is always greatly appreciated

***********

Will You Let Me Take You?

Will you let me take you
As everything in my life?
My hope, joy, sadness, glee;
Everything meaningful.

Will you let me take you
To share you with my friends?
With courage, strength and knowledge.
Such powerful weaponry.

Will you let me take you
Deep into the night?
For romance, kisses and caresses.
Intimate love we share.

I wrote this one this morning. It's kinda shorter than mu usual, but hey.

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

I know that you are near

When light shines upon me
I know that you are near.
When the sweetest scents fill my senses
I know that you are near.
When feelings of awe overwhelm me
I know that you are near.
And when I hear your call my name
I know that you are near.

Really wonderful poems, I really enjoyed reading them.

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.

[Pixie-Muso]

Thank you UniDagger . Here's another one that I wrote just this minute. It's written from Tara's point of view (as most of these poems are)...

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

The Depths of the Night

How many times had I felt so alone
Deep in the depths of the night?
But one faithful day you came along
And filled my life with radiant light.
Life had always treated me bad
But now it has turned to bliss.
I had often wondered in those lonely nights
If life could ever come to this.
My heart can feel so free now
Like birds in uncharted flight.
Because all that I am can love you
Deep into the depths of the night.

that was really sweat, keep it up!

[Tolley]

Nice job, Pixie. Very sweet, but I thought you were one of the smutty kittys?!

Tara: Oh my God, I'm cured! I want the boys!

[Pixie-Muso]

Thanks for your sweet words, Kel.

LOL @ Tolley. Oh, I am one of the smutty kitties. lol I just tend not to write smutty poetry, nor have I written any smut-fic. I just tend to bring smut up in conversation (or in the Kitten word game - as you've noticed. lol )

Ok, I had more sporadic-poetic-urges in the early hours of this morning. I ended up not going to sleep until about 2am. I woke up at 10am this morning by a phone call... and yet another poem came to me. lol. I'll just give a bit of commentary prior to each poem....

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

This one's from Tara's point of view:

I used to cry.
I used to cry all the time.
Though the sobs were silent.
The tears: invisible.
I guess you could say I cried every night.

I’d felt pain.
I felt it all the time.
Though nobody noticed.
I’d been mentally tortured.
The abuse was just always there.

Now you’re here.
You’re here all the time.
Though we may be different,
Our hearts feel the same.
The connection is so surreal.

I feel loved.
I feel it all the time.
Though sometimes I get scared,
You are here for me.
Life now feels so good.

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

This one's from Willow's POV, I guess it would be quite early in their relationship. Kinda around "New Moon Rising"- timish:

I see it in your eyes.
All the pain you’d gone through.
The sadness, suffering and misery;
A burden I’d have carried for you.

I cannot turn back the clock now.
Though I really wish I could.
But I make this pledge, a solemn vow
To show you how life can be so good.

I love you with all my being.
I’ve never felt this way before.
My heart and soul I give to you
To keep forever more.

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

This one's Tara's POV again. I'd say about the same timing as the previous poem:

Do you think that you could love me?
Though I am nothing much?
Do you think that you would care for me?
Would you make the fuss?

Do you think that I am worth it?
Would it take too much of your time?
Do you think it’s too much effort?
To have me linger on your mind?

Do you think that I could hold you?
Through the goodness and the strife?
Do you think that I could love you?
All the days, the rest of my life?

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

This one, I'm not so sure if it's completely W/T. I mean, the initial inspiration was Willow's dream in "Restless" (possibly because I'd just woken up from a disturbing dream), but then it looked like the first stanza was kind LoTR related. The last two stanzas, esp. the second last kinda reminds me of "The Craft". *shruggs* Go figure:

The nights would be so restless.
The days, so very unclear.
The shadows fell upon us
And filled our hearts with fear.

The only light given were moonbeams.
The stars were no help at all.
Tears kept running like water in streams
And no one could answer our call.

Dangerous thoughts have crossed my mind.
Everything’s so surreal.
My powers to you, I give to bind
So that with clear thoughts I can deal.

The deed has been done and I’m free now.
Thank you for pulling me out of that hell.
I no longer fear the sky and clouds
And I feel that all will be well.

Don't doubt that you have talent pixie cause you do, yes you do. I'm really enjoying your writing. I hope there is more to come.

[Pixie-Muso]

Thanks Nika. You're so sweet. Hopefully there will be more to come... we'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for my brain to generate more words. lol

Thanks again.

A new poem had dawned upon me at last! One not written from either of our girls' perspective but from a humble shipper's. Please, let me know what you think.

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

The sparks of the spell twisted and turned
They engulfed the wiccas’ room.
What they conjured was a powerful source;
The key to their enemy’s doom.

The magic they shared was potent and strong,
Though nothing compared to their love.
These bonds were gifts spun by the fates.
Something that joined them as one.

Magic had brought them together at first,
But nothing can keep them apart.
For the love they share is eternally blest,
Rooted deep in the depths of their hearts.

Well Pixie, you told me that you had poetry posted here, so i had to take a peek.

The only words that i can muster up now are...
Beautifully, Talented, Nancy!
You are very very good!
P.S. Keep it up

['lucy' moore]

Yep...The way you conjure imagery with words shows real talent.(It also makes someone I know real jealous!)
