I create words<br />For the human ear<br />For the eye<br />Of the mind<br />For the soul<br />To steer<br />On an ocean<br />Of emotion<br />On a path<br />Of imagination<br />To seek the reality<br />Of the visions<br />Created within me<br />To share<br />What my soul sees<br />To share<br />My sense of<br />Peace</div>

This poem was done as an entry to a competition and I am not quite sure if I have done justice in capturing the essence of the original poem. This is simply my version of a poem that has always held me enthralled in its vision. :)<br /><br />The Eagle<br />BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON<br />He clasps the crag with crooked hands;<br />Close to the sun in lonely lands,<br />Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.<br /><br />The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;<br />He watches from his mountain walls,<br />And like a thunderbolt he falls.<br /><br /><br /><b>The</b> <b>Eagle</b><br />By Tineeka<br /><br />The piercing cry<br />Echoing through<br />Earth and sky<br />The call of the eagle wild<br />As it stands at the crest<br />The highest peak in life<br />Standing stately as a king<br />Wrapped in power and might<br />With the world at his feet<br />Oh to be standing at the crest<br />Of life’s highest mountain peak</div>

Be patient my child<br />
Your prayer will be answered<br />
As sure as the sun rise<br />
And moonbeams dance<br />
Upon your raven head<br />
No more tears, will I let fall<br />
Unless those that reflect joy<br />
Your pain<br />
I understand, I feel<br />
Waves crashing on a heart<br />
You try so hard to freeze<br />
But I am the Lord of miracles<br />
I aim to please<br />
And to wipe that teardrop<br />
From your face<br />
For I am more than Lord, God or Divine<br />
A Father I am<br />
And child never forget<br />
You are mineAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11988566817511596996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429224892212909038.post-81955932189083937782013-05-19T11:02:00.001-07:002013-05-19T11:02:09.130-07:00Poetry Hangout :D My first time ever! <br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Misty mountains and bone-chilled roads</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Tropical beaches and salty seas</div>

A mere hours ride apart</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Makes up this place called home to me</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
On one hand an ancient building</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
That survived the ravages of war</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
On the other stands another temple</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Like a beacon of hope for peace for all</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
To the north, ragged lands that no more thrives</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Only palm trees riddled in bullet holes survives</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Grand homes lie vacant covered in shrubbery</div>

</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
White sandy beaches that stretch endlessly</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
A man may walk in peace, among dunes</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Decorated by the shells of the Indian sea</div>

To the south, spreads shades of color</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Emerald paddy fields and blue lakes meet</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Where chanting monks in golden robes</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Walk feet uncovered in the heat</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
To the west, stand towers tall</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Endless traffic, mechanical voices roar</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Life moves faster, growing harder </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
People running back and forth</div>

Cultures here are vibrant</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
In color and in speech</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Food is made of spices</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Desserts from honey trees</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
I turn down one road, a church I see</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Down another a mosque stands free</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Another turn confronts a Kovil you see</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
One more turn, a temple with a bo tree</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Now I stand in the middle and breathe</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The scents of spices and salty seas</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Carried ironically on mountain breeze</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
For this is my country, my home you see</div>

It is a Chinese ballet and I have tried to capture its essence and my emotions at the moment that I first viewed this. I have named it as Bold Ballet and would appreciate your comments to find if I have been successful in capturing its essence.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br />

She glided</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Across the stage</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Towards the other</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
To entwine</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
And embrace</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Beautiful music</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Defining</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Their souls</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
As he stretched</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
His arms</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
And she soared</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
In dance</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
They were whole</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
He had no leg</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
She had no arm</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
But together</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
They were</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
More complete</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Than any whole</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
any one</div>
