Staring at the Light

Post by fortminor »

"NICEST POST OF THE MONTH"


I wanna discover and find out
how should i see the sun in the night
what do i have to do as a major part
Of a broken but curable heart !

I used to stare at the light
my eyes never been blind ,but they might
everybody keeps them tight
but i think its their simplest right
to stare at any light
maybe I get the chance
to become drown in that light
to forget all the darkness inside
Not important too loose my sight

I just want to stare at the light
till i become blind
Its no use to see this life
full of faithlessness and crime
so better to become blind
No wish No sight !
and you can get lost in the world inside!
sure not to have any hope
easily you can live,
easily you can love!

To end up this everlasting night
I'll try to become bright
with staring at the light
I'd better become blind
than see this world on my shoulder
and nothingness inside

So stare at the light
to forget all the sorrows and lies
stare until you feel the pain in your eyes
it will bring you delight
so come and stare at the light !

hey you left for such a long time and the time you come back you leave us such a nice poem!
:lol: :lol: :lol: let me be the fictive 2nd person narrator

All the time I walked from your side
and day after day your emotions never died
And when leave fell while I still abide
You still stood there stared at the light

Love is never as simple as black and white
and time doesn't care whether you were blind
pain is all what you will find
no matter how the sky had been bride
maybe now they all died
I really hope you can look over the fence
to forget all the flood and tide
wish away all the tears you cried

I just want you to fight
against all the tears that made you sad
no use to cry at things which lied
years away, isn't it weird
to stare at the light?
No strengh No sight !
if being weak, you get lost in the world inside!
chain you up like a rope
easily you can forget,
easily you can forgive!

To end up this silent tide
You should forget
staring at the light
put more colour on your teint
and never become blind
face the world becoming warmer
and nothing else outside

You still stand there stare at the light
trying to forget all my lies
let the eye become worse and worse
it doesn't give you any sight
So look up to end this silent tide!

:lol: :lol: :lol: sorry I haven't seen you for so long and your poem is so romantical but sad and you know I don't like sad poems

Even after so many years, I still hearken;
The sound of nothingness and darkness
Regret and loneliness,
Is getting louder and clearer!

Even after so many years, i still remember;
The moments of madness and emotionless
The time of a suicide to not see the next December!
I couldn't find out what’s a "simple happiness"!

Even after so many years, i still cry;
For not knowing the reason why
Still there are some tears in my eye
I cannot even look at the sky

Even after so many years, i still try;
To find a solution and a way
For changing the life and still i try
To live and breathe without a sigh

Even after a century, I’ll stay alive;
There should be more years for these
Never-ending regrets in my life
And I am helpless, at the end ill cease

Even after so many Decembers, I still think;
Death, darkness --No eat No drink!
Think of that damn December, which stole
The part of my heart and now the whole!

Now i feel like trapping in another fear
Another flood and tide is near
It has been following me for the ages
How am I supposed to forget these stages?

Lies, faked joys and weakness are feeding
The heart of a girl --which is bleeding
Is it love or lie? Who said with it I can fly?
Each time I fly I fall, next time I’m sure I’ll die!

Oh I see... :lol:

When the dream turned into a nightmare
I still fled away from the light
I closed my eyes, I lost my sight
I lost everything for which I used to care

Rain kept sticking at my window
like my tears they had used to guard
my secrets, no one will know
at my window, wind took them apart

Even after many years, I know indeed
you can still be here
at the light my dear
all I fear

Even after many years, I still have
Your words I no longer save
And your present you once gave
Your face in heart, to which I wave

Even after many years, I still want
to escape the light, the horrible sound
of my own, seeping from my wound
How the winds of autumn could haunt.

Even after many years, I still see
the freezing drops falling from my tear
the cold, it tells to me, my dear
summer went, nothing left to rest here

Even after many years, I still heard
the parting autumn, leaving a hint
summer can never bind
sun went far away, like the wind

Still after these years, I'll know for sure
there will be no more
tears in the core
bleeding from the sore

When you got ride of the nightmare
You’ll be attracted to the light
Nothing can be seen in your eye
A compliment or a wish to care

Rain's dropping on your cheeks
No body can understand you're crying
It is hiding your painful tears
How beautiful they are drowning

Here I am --just right by your side
You have been escaped and flied
When I’m with you nothing means as a Fear
How does it hurt crying under the sky which is clear!

Even after many years, I'll return
"The road not taken" is here
I wish you liked the rain and yearn
To come with me my dear!

Even after many rains, you still escape
From thunder and lightning and wind
I know you feel lonely and in cage
But against this life who can defend?

Summer will come again, soon or later
The sun and heat will make you better
The magic of your words will make
My day and --and my heart awake!

You should try harder dear Chen
Sometimes the bad road is taken
Come back to see the other
You can make everything better! :)

the Light ?

Post by Lac »

So do I. I like the light from the Sun. Your poet is as beautiful as a sweet melody flowing from your heart. I have no skills of making poem at all except for greatly admiring our marvelous nature created by God.
I had been in vestibule disturbances before. Staying in bed, every morning I often looked outside to enjoy the sunshine coming to the roof of the next-door neighbour. oh, it's so wonderful.Life is,too !

The weather light seems to shine through
Covers up all my depressed mind
Whispers all the reasons I tried to find
When summer went away, like you do

The sun touch is smiling
To me, like a fool I used to be
Waiting for you, sun set me free
Outside, sun was shining

What a beautiful day
I feel the breeze
And time is like a little leaf chased away
At a beautiful day

Something like pain
Here I won't feel
And all the sorrow went like a tiny rain
I wish it will come again

Nobody is flawless
No coin dealt with ease
And if we won't get a single chance
Still it's harmless

As everything goes by
Like we will see
And hear all wishes leave no reply
Left is a tiny sigh

The past was stifling
Burnt me up from the inside
Sun smiles, had used to bide
All the childish feeling

The December wind, away it go
All nonsense left behind
In the end, from heart to mind
Brightness is what stayed, فروغ

Yes, it is! Your post is a wonderful idea, shows to us that there is no need to put the sentences in rhymes to let them sound beautiful.

In this poem I didnt mean that light is hope.
But generally you're right ,hope is a light that guides us through ups and downs of life.
Thanks for reading my poem :)

I would say, the light is the good thing which past, maybe "good memory". The verb "to stare at something" usually means fixing your eyes on one special thing and disregarding other things: To recall the good things in the past constantly.

So I if I say I would stare at the light, I can mean: "I want to see the good things in life again, I don't want to live in this misery. My recent life is awful, but my past life had been fine. So I claim myself to the past life." (a bit like Anathema)

so however, one deeper meaning of this poem could be a quotation by Konfucious: "Past love is only memory, future love a wish and a dream. Only in the present, here and now, we can really love."
