Some Random Poetry

Wow. I wasn't even sure that one was any good. Thanks everyone. Wow.

*hugs Miral*
Don't ever think that, girl. We're all special, important people.

Branflakes. The Ninja Lesbian. The Milk Getter. The Hair Gel Getter. I get it all!
The one Necro calls "brain".
I walk the path, trying not to get pulled into the weeds.
"walking away, no longer running."--NecroFlash
"See that star...the one shining brighter than all the others? I know the girl who hung it there."

[Dano]

I like that last one, reminds me of my "Tell Me A Story" poem.

Also, "Here It Is Again" is another reflection of my life, almost too perfectly.

*big dano nebraska-sized hug*

ps - I found out today that Texas is bigger than all of continental Europe. Just thought I'd pass it along.

[Branflakes]

Thanks, Dano. That hug and comments mean a lot. Heh, I thought so about Texas. And people never understand when I tell them that you can drive for an hour and STILL be within Houston's city limits. It's a very spread-out city.

"Here It Is Again" is the story of my life.
*sigh*

Rough draft coming up, just wrote.


I Wanna 04/28/00

I want to be heard
I don't want to be third.
I want to be real
To all that you feel.
I want to be yours.
I want to be formed
By the hope of your dreams
Which, within, I can firm
To the dreams that are mine
So that we can both be
All the glory we see.

[Branflakes]

One more from last night (errr, this morning).


A Little Bard 04/28/00

Life is rough,
Life is hard
And I don?t feel like such a bard.
But I will write
And you will read.
And we will each fulfill a need.

Two States Away 05/01/00

I stand in sadness,
Forgotten gladness
As I watch her leave
Dust while I grieve.
For my loved one gone
I now feel forlorn.
Without you near
How do I fight my fear
That I?ll never be
The someone you see
Inside of me?

God never gives us more than we can handle.

[AsIs]

Bran, I liked a lot of them, but reading them all tonight Find Me really stood out for me!

[Branflakes]

Wow, thanks Asis. "Find Me" seems to have struck a lot of people strongly. And I really didn't think it was all that good at first. Silly me.

Going to Bed 05/04/00


Tired, tired, tired.
Need to sleep, sleep, sleep.
Starts to dream, dream, dream.
Of her, her, her.
Nice, nice, nice dream.
BLARE, BLARE, BLARE of the
Alarm, alarm, alarm.
Wake, wake, wake.
Sigh, sigh, sigh.
Back to life, life, life.

I Wonder and Wander 05/09/00

I wonder where I should wander.
Which road should I blunder
While I debate my case
Of standing on a base
Not knowing where to turn
Or where my fires should burn?
I'll cautiously take a step
On this road I should've kept
In front the whole time
Instead of wandering like a mime.

[Ersby]

These are great, Bran. Nice to see you've got a bit of impetus in your writing (the 28th of April must've been an interesting day!) Ummm, WHEN was I wonder and wander written?
