Here, there and everywhere

Now, then and every time

Skies turn from pink to black in the evening

Skies turn from black to pink in the morning

It will be like that forever

No one can stop it. Never!

Different but so close to each other

Not the same but always together

Differences not necessarily divide

Complementarities sometimes arise

Although common sense rarely wins

And stereotypes too rarely lose

No need to change the whole world

Because our luck is worth more than gold

As much as insults, threats and violence

Are no weapons against insane confidence

The right and freedom to choose

Is a game where no one can lose

Step back and take a rest

There always is a cosy nest

But where to find hold?

Nobody ever has told

Is it in the country I was born?

Is it in the place I have grown?

It may be much closer

It may be much easier

What if it were in each of us?

Something that we never lost!

Life really is lovely,

Overwhelming Harmony!

A poem written by blogcatalog members as a part of a poetry game. I initiated the game with a single line and then invited others to add a line, the only rule being that two lines cannot be written consecutively by the same person. I hope this poetic demonstration of teamwork. The verses are colour coded to represent each writer, you can click on the names to go to each writer’s blog directly. You can also visit the original game forum to see exactly what was going on at www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/a-game-of-poetry-no-2-cont…

TICK-TOCK HEAR THE CLOCK, HEART PUMPING, DON’T STOP,

WHEELS TURNING, CIRCUITS BURNING, REACH THE TOP, 
HEAD FORWARD, VISION CLEAR, PACE YOUR HEART AS YOU STEP,
DON’T LOOK BACK, FORGET THE PLACE FROM WHERE YOU CREPT.

STAY THE COURSE, GUIDE YOUR HORSE, EVER ONWARD,
DON’T STRAY, STAY IN LINE, ALL ELSE IS CENSORED.
HANDS ON HIPS, WIGGLE QUICK, THEN STAND STRAIT AS A STICK,
STAY AWAKE, FOR YOUR SAKE, WHEN NIGHT FALLS BURN THE WICK. 

LEFT HAND, WRONG HAND, WE ARE ALL AT THE MERCY OF THE SHORT HAND,
HANDS UP, EYES SHUT, DANCING BLINDLY TO THE TUNE OF THE WORLD’S BAND
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, AS YOU’RE MOVING, TO THE MUSIC
BEND, DO NOT BOW, YOU’RE REALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE NOW.

SHINE BRIGHT, DO NOT HEED, STARS ARE ALL THE AUDIENCE YOU NEED,
SLOW AND STEADY WINS IT ALL, DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T TAKE A FALL.
DO NOT FOLLOW, TAKE THE LEAD, THERES NO RUSH NO NEED FOR SPEED,
TAKE HEART, YOU CAN START, DANCING TILL THE NIGHT DEPARTS.

TWO STEPS HERE AND TWO STEPS THERE, TWIRL AROUND WITHOUT CARE,
THE HEART HAS A SONG, SO LET IT SING, AND SING ALONG.
FEEL FREE TO MOVE AS YOU PLEASE, GO AND LET DOWN YOUR HAIR,
MIND STEADY, BALANCE KEPT, FROM THIS POINT IT CAN’T GO WRONG.

DANCE TO THE SONG THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS SINGING
FEEL THE FREEDOM YOU SEEK, CAN’T YOU HEAR THE LIBERTY BELLS RINGING?
I FEEL MY HEART BEAT FASTER AND MY PULSES LEAP,
LAST TWIRL IN THE AIR BEFORE FALLING TO A HAPPY EXHAUSTED SLEEP.

A love which is suspended  frailly in the air,

just out of grasp,  barely even there.

Holds my thoughts hostage like a child with A.D.D

restricting and constricting, screaming just thinking in me.

And like a slave, broken, my will is not my own,

and I only wish to forget, not regret,

Not to bestow a moment more in thoughts I wish to suppress.

I have fallen in love with imagery,

I thought, a moment, a memory.

And for my sins I am condemned to think in thee,

and for thine I cannot escape this misery.

This pain sits too comfortably,

and is tempting me to drink away the last of my sanity,

I strain to contain these feelings of utter distress,

I try my hardest to forget you,

but my hardest does not exceed my best.

Just the sound of timid waves teasing the sands of the shore,

The simplicity of sand, sea and air is at our very core.

Rattling of dry palm leaves send whispers in the breeze,

A life of serenity, tranquility and subtle tender ease.

Floating on these gentle waves of crystal, turquoise, blue,

The sun dances on the water enticing you, enticing you.

There you let your body flow to a symphony you float,

Whilst looking at the white sails of a slow sailing boat.

Cool water trickles over your neck and nestles in your palms,

Cradled by a blue depth more assuring than a Psalms.

Rest now your free to forget the number of this dreamy day,

Close your eyes, take a deep breathe and peacefully float away

and peacefully float away.
