Sonnet Gallery #1 -Just For Thee

Shakespearean Sonnet Gallery


Protect Thee

If thy see my face, on a shining hill

Well the stars above gave it the bright light

If thy are alone and feel the cold chill

Know that my love, shall see thee through the night

For thy sweet innocence, is radiance

And I hope thy will stay here forever

To be my love now, with bright songs and dance

For thy are a beautiful entity

But when thy left me ,I am struck by fear

I grow a hunger, only love can sate

I'm confused, and the future is unclear

I shall not grow old and give in to fate

But I know that love shall never give in

And it shall protect thee, from any sin


Just For Thee (Gallery Highlight)

Alas the gate to my heart is now closed

That was opened long ago, just for thee

And now thy are gone, with my love disposed

Though I don't want to, I let go of thee

Hear me bright star, the echoes of my cries

Sad, for the arrow of love has pierced my heart

I sing to you, my song as my soul dies

Telling the tale of the time I could not restart

And tis late, for I have fallen in love

With beauty so vast, that roses envy

With a smile so bright,that the stars speak of

Don't be surprised when I save thee, savvy?

So I sail through the raging ocean tides

But thy pure love, protects me from all sides


Pertrarchan Sonnet Gallery


No More Lies

A bottle of wine, shaking is the floor

And I don't wish to believe in thy lies

And I shall not be touched by thy fake cries

So I shalt have strength, to show thee the door

Thy never understood, my heart felt sore

So leave! And bring thy folly tears and cries

But tis no avail that I try to believe

Nothing can undo, what thy did before

I feel relief, without thee at my side

Thy wont go, what are thy trying to achieve

Too late! For the tides of life hath been stirred

I know thy wont give, so I keep my pride

Without thee, true love and care I shall receive

No more poison from the words that thy slurred


A Staircase to Heaven

I did not get a chance, to make thee smile

And must thy depart from beautiful life?

For if thy do, thy will bring my heart strife

And to the ends of the Earth I shall sail!

And with might I shall rid of all things vile

So thy can come back, to be true to life

Thy can't, leaving me to fend for myself

Oh and how I miss thy sweet precious smile

So does a staircase to heaven exist?

For I wish to replace, thy place with mine

What is the point of living, without life of my love

And I shall not surrender to this mist

Anything I shall climb , even a thorny vine

And all the doubt in my heart, I shall shove


Fair Maiden

I have a deep craving for thy sweet love

But I hath not the great courage to claim

For thy eyes lay on someone lame

But I shall not forsake my love

For thy are beauty beyond compare

So are thy feelings for me the same

For I have a fear to be stricken with shame

But falter I shalt not,for I shall fight for thy care

Finally I murmur to myself "hope"

And I race through eternity to find

A glimpse of hope and the strength to cope

And I rise,run,fight for thee fair maiden

Wherever thy lay, I shall not leave thee behind

Love that grew in us shall not be taken



Explanation: If you read all of these sonnets, then you may have noticed that I use thee and thy instead of you, thats because I'm a big fan of the old English language (I can thank Shakespeare for that). So I like to set my sonnets in a middle aged era or a fairy-tale like place. And most of them tells of a journey to find love. So I'm going to explain them one by one:

  • "Protect Thee" tells that death shall not conquer love. That love shall guide someone through anything. And how lost one can be, without love. So for the lucky ones who have love in this world, well this sonnet is telling you to appreciate what you have
  • "Just For Thee" is a sonnet that has a beauty in it that is really poetic and artistic, because of these words (to me at least). And it tells a tale of lost love and you want to get it back. So Just For the Person, the lover is willing to sacrifice almost anything
  • "No More Lies" is quite a straight-to-the-point sonnet. The sonnet tells that the man was so sick with his girlfriend's lies (vice versa), he just doesn't wish to be with her anymore. The tricky meaning to this poems is actually to do the opposite of the negative things in the poem. No lies and deceit, just love and honesty :)
  • Sometimes you learn lessons at just the right time, and sometimes you learn them to little to late.The sonnet "Staircase of Heaven" is a sonnet telling a tale of regret and lost love. And to me the words and beauty of the sonnet, may rival even a masterpiece painting. And that the person would go to lengths to leave life, to be with his/her lover.
  • "Fair Maiden" although may seem like a mature sonnet, it is actually intended for teens like myself. School is full of drama, one of them is a thing we call "Crushes". Almost every teenager has a crush it is almost certain. And the ugly truth why they call them crushes, is because it can crush your heart in the end. So this is a dedication to all the teens that have crushes. And now on to the meaning: it says that the person having a crush, is ready to take the risk. He/she is willing to wait and whenever the person's crush needs him/her, th person will always be there.




Freestyle Poems Gallery #1 -This Feeling Called Love

Waiting (Gallery Highlight)

I actually have feelings for you
Its not your looks
Its not the grades that you get
Its because of you and only you

But I know I can't have you
Because I know you wont feel the same
I know that you like someone else
And as much as it breaks my heart

If I really care about you
I must set you free
Thats what I have to do
Knowing that you won't be mine

But even through raging waters
I will stand by you
And I shall not falter
Because for you, I will stay strong

And when you change your mind
Know that I'll always be here
I will be here waiting
Ready whenever you need me

I'm not mad that you don't notice me
Nor am I sad
For when your happy, I'm happy
And I love you enough to do just that

And my reason for doing this
I too do not know
Because I'm simply following my heart
And I want you to know that this comes solely from my heart

Your smile lights up my face
You laugh softens my heart
Your jokes make me laugh
In my eyes you are absolute perfection

Just sitting beside you
Brightens up my day
And when you speak to me
It brings joy to my life

But you have feelings for someone
And I don't think that someone knows
But I will not falter
Knowing that a chance with you awaits



This Feeling Called Love

Theres this feeling that everyone has
That mysterious feeling is called love
But whether your right or wrong it still hurts either way
Emotions and nerves fly out, and I don't know what to say
But when I'm with you, anything can be possible
I want to say that I think your perfect
And for all the ways that you are, I know your worth it
I just love the way you are right now
Like flowers, together we shall grow
And I know this life without you, is crazy
And also unpredictable maybe
But I just want to cherish the moment
The very moment that we have now
Hoping that it would last forever
Like two stars shining together in space
And I have love to thank for its grace


Explanation: So this gallery has a gallery highlight, which I will try to put on in more of my upcoming galleries. So the poem called "Waiting" is a poem I made long ago. It tells a story of when you are in a situation teens like me refer to as a "crush". But something about this poem just seems pure to me, although it may seem unclear what the future holds, I still won't give up and stand tall. It has the merits of strength, courage, endurance and...love. Most people my age will most likely have a crush like me. So while I was sitting in class, these words just came to me. And for my inspiration, well....I just had to look at her thats all....

And the poem "This Feeling Called Love" has a much more simpler situation. It has this aura of simplicity and you just enjoy what life is. It tells a story when you are together and you are happy, and you have love to thank for that. And it also tells a glimpse of the ups and downs of a relationship.


Acoustic Poem Gallery #1 -Love and Life

Acoustic Poem Gallery

Love

Land of everlasting love
On the horizon roses bloom
Vast plains of laughter
Everlasting affection

Poetry
Passion to write and express
Oh so deep and artistic in every way
Emotions and feelings run free
Things as if you are in another world
Rest as you will, for you are free
Your way of expressing what is in your heart

Flaws
Flaws are things that we have to live with
Learn to embrace it, because that’s who you are
And you may think that its horrible
Wishing that it would go away
Some flaws just cant go, because they make up for who you are

Life
Life a great mystery that we live in
In this life, you make the best out of it
For it is the best gift that God gave to you
Exciting new things happen each day

Risk
Risky choices, I hate the most
I know that if I take it I can fail
Success however I always count on
Kings take risks, so why can’t I

Trust
Trust is a strong word
Realize that you should think carefully of who you trust
Under the depths of someones heart lies deceit
So play cautiously
Then again, you need people to trust if you want to be happy


Explanation: In the title it says that this gallery contains "Love and Life". Well the acoustic poems I made, these are all about love and life. I realize that theres a lot more to learn in life, that what most people my age go through, is just the beginning. I also realized that school is a dry run for the rest of your life, meaning what you are and who you are at school, will affect you for the rest of your life. Of course you can change, but the basics of your personality shaped from school, can never be changed. I learned that the hard way, I tried so hard to change who I am I lost my personality. But then it hits me, why does it matter? If even I didn't like myself, then why would anyone else? And each of these words on the poems are many things that are in life. You need love to grow and mature, you need poetry to learn and express, your born with flaws and you have to embrace it because it is who you are, you need to appreciate life because you only get to live once, you need to take risks in life because if you don't you'll never grow, and if you learn to trust people life would be much more easier. Again this is way to deep for my age, but these are my views and this is the reason why I wrote these poems.

Haiku Gallery #1 -Beauty of Love

Haiku Gallery
LOVE
Beauty of Spring

And here I stand
Amidst the beauty of spring
Here waiting for you

I Live for You

This may seem obscene
But I still live for you
I will see you soon

Love For You

The seasons change
As all living things here die
My love still won’t die

Hope For Spring

If I didn’t give up
I could still have hope for spring
For you are my spring

Bonds

And each time we meet
Our bond grows strong day by day
Something that would last

Time to Smile

As the sun rises
I take a look on your face
Time for me to smile

In the Dark

I stand in the dark
Awaiting for light to come
Then you came along

Explanation: So in a nutshell, all of my haikus are about love. I have this deep respect to this emotion called, love. Mainly because I’ve been through it, I experienced it both good and bad stuff. And in case you haven’t noticed most of these haikus are like I’m waiting for someone, well I am. You see when you are single (and ready to mingle) and your surrounded by other couples sharing love, you get this feeling that you miss it. These haiku’s can be used in many situations, whether you are in love and you want to give this to your girl/boy. Or when you really like someone and you don’t know if they like you back, but still you wont give up on them. And even if they don’t like you back, you still have a feeling that whenever your around that special someone, your whole world is complete. And somehow I make these haiku’s way in-to-deep for my age,, but I’m fine with it. As a teenager we teenagers go through a process, with an explosion of feelings and when your grown up you’ll look back and take a laugh from what you’ve been through. Making these haikus and poems its just a way of releasing some of these feelings
