Remembering what counts... Well what can I say, this is another poem about love The feeling that we all need to live, the meaning of it all One look is enough and one touch is like an eternity Just knowing you are mine is a blessing So why don´t we just let go Why don´t we take of the masks that protects us from ourselves and eachother Why hold back in this short life Just because we´ve been burned once doesn´t mean we have to put out every new fire Feeling down, missing the good parts of life Don´t even remember the last time I felt like this When I look in your eyes I dream away A dream I really don´t want to wake from So why don´t we just let go Why don´t we forget broken hearts, who never heals anyway Why hold back in this short life Just because we´ve seen the darkness doesn´t mean we never again can see the light Maybe we´re fooling ourselves, believing in a new tomorrow Maybe we live like ants in an anthill, living the same day, every day But who wants to know, if knowing means killing the hope Who wants to live in a world with all the answers painted on the door So why don´t we just let go Why don´t we stop thinking about answers, when we don´t even remember the questions anymore Why hold back in this short life When at the very end, the moments we remember are those we didn´t By Robert Hafredal 09-06-00 "Thanx for sharing, everyone" Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

True sentiments expressed here, Robert... ....... When I look in your eyes I dream away A dream I really don´t want to wake from So why don´t we just let go Why don´t we forget broken hearts, who never heals anyway Why hold back in this short life Just because we´ve seen the darkness doesn´t mean we never again can see the light Maybe we´re fooling ourselves, believing in a new tomorrow Maybe we live like ants in an anthill, living the same day, every day But who wants to know, if knowing means killing the hope Who wants to live in a world with all the answers painted on the door ................ It is upto us to find the answers to the questions that life puts forward... we may be wrong a few times, but finally we will get them right... btw, WELCOME TO PASSIONS, and enjoy your stay here in this family of poets... read more, write more, we are all waiting for you to bloom... Many regards, new flower in this passions' garden... Sudhir My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |

Just because we´ve been burned once doesn´t mean we have to put out every new fire Maybe we´re fooling ourselves, believing in a new tomorrow Maybe we live like ants in an anthill, living the same day, every day But who wants to know, if knowing means killing the hope Who wants to live in a world with all the answers painted on the door When at the very end, the moments we remember are those we didn't alot of questions in this poem, why indeed. Well you have given something to ponder over. I really enjoyed this poem. Welcome to passions. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |
