We would like to thank Alden who's send us these great poems. They're not really about The Calling, but they're so awesome and we think that they can be putted up here anyway!
Here we go:
Listen
Do I Listen to what Im hearing? What Im Saying, Or What Is Said?
What is saying the things Im hearing? Is It Truth or lies instead?
I listen to my feelings, the constant beating of my heart,
But when my mind speaks its mind, I cant tell those feelings apart.
Sometimes Im happy at present, being told what I want is already there
Other times I listen to ballads, your sweet scent filling the air.
Thinking of you, thinking of me, listening to all your thoughts,
At times I feel we bond beyond belief, psychic understanding, of sorts.
Like A child, unsure, jaded by past, you look with diversion of trust
Your, the same, Is my brand new, your possibly, I see as my must.
You have climbed the steps, so silently, no faulty boards, not a creek,
What must it take on the penultimate step to make just one final leap?
If you ever made that final leap I will hold you close forever
But my encouragement may just be my fear, the finality of the word never.
Never together, never like that, never us, never you and me only,
I dont want to regret it by the time its too late, when the chance has gone
by,
when Im lonely.
Listening to the evening breeze, waiting for it to call your name,
Indecision haunting me, yet I still feel the same.
I should be in love, but its different with you,
Is the difference love? If only I knew.
Your friendship means so much, like it never has before,
My mind is asking; Why? I care about you far more.
Will I ever know? I dont know, but the future is not yet in sight,
All I know now is I love you as I should, and at this moment that feels
right.
Do I Listen to what Im hearing? Looking deep for the answer thats true,
Yes I do Listen to what Im hearing, because now, all Im hearing is you.
It's Our World
When The World Passes By with a whisper in your ear
When the clouds drift away, with the thought you may be near.
When my heart skips a beat, as it's you I'm about to meet.
It's the World I cannot hear, through this love and through my tears.
As The World Passes by, I watch that sparkle in your eyes
Never caring how The treetops sway, or how the bluebird flies.
There is no meaning to now and then, Together Forever, not If but When,
It's my own world I'm living in, where you are my sun, you rise again.
As The Everyday World Just Passes by, there is little here i recognise,
A man sits, and reads a book, his unreal expression, I try not to look.
Children dance in the mid morning light, Living thier days and Sleeping
thier nights.
This way of life is all the same, for each person a journey, for each person
a game.
With every sight and every sound, Everything is just you, as a circle is
just round.
As some Worlds may end, and new ones will start, I know I love you now, with
all of my heart.
When The World Finally Passes By, it belongs to us, Just U and I.
It's Our World
The Wind Whispers
The wind whispers a melody, of arrogance and desire,
Its calling out, mocking me, raising the lure up higher.
The night sky is your eyes, your presence roams round here,
As I pass your house, my heart erupts, you wipe way this tear.
I see you where you never are, the owner of my heart,
Natures woman, element girl, Ive loved you from the start.
Just with a glance in my direction, you shoot out fire and ice,
But this time Ive drawn a blank, theres one dot on my dice.
Im at a dead end, my way is blocked, I just cant crack loves code,
show me the way, be my eyes, put me right back on this road.
You can never say the words I hear,
The words I wish you say, every day of every year,
And the wind whispers..R.a.c.h.e.l
The Same
Risen from Oblivion, and end is beginning.
The new expectation is the last song youre singing,
While one ray may warm you, another is ice cold,
One persons new thoughts are another ones old.
Varying perspectives let you appreciate change,
But a different part craves all things being The Same.
Excitement of moving, yet in the same place,
Being far from reality, a familiar face,
Adapting to places you cant comprehend
Differing people, a postcard to send.
Broadening the mind of ways to play lifes game,
With altering rules, all I want is The Same.
A view out the window, makes it seem unlike glass,
A mirror would be better, reflecting the past.
Hazelnut skin, body fighting to stay,
But the mind regrets ever going away.
A new city each time, hosting the Olympic flame,
But its the representation that makes it The Same
Those who get bored with the same old things,
Dont appreciate the sun until the rain.
Fair weathered friends will fly south for the winter.
But I love you being, The Same.
Dont Change.
Other Lives
A head laid to rest in a solitary moment,
It thinks of all the things ,it has so far failed to see,
The people it has yet to meet, created like they have no movement,
I dream of the face, you now create, being me.
I question if Im your creation, my hopes and dreams in your control,
Can someone create, know and see me?
And is it still me if they cant see my soul?
I can see someone in sadness, their heart being punctured by knives,
Wishing I could help this non-existent person, existing all Other Lives.
Her pain exists, but cannot be conquered,
from my perspective, I can still be so wrong,
In unknown beings, this pain is reflected,
A part of your healing, knowing where I belong.
Special moments, treasured memories, words that I just could have said.
You respond with an unforgettable smile,
You cant forget me, if Im not in your head.
I hear about you every day, eves-dropping conversation, your name,
Although I know it constantly changes, to me, unknown is the same.
Talking to strangers, who are not strange to you,
A glowing reference of what you would do.
Being in many different places at the same time,
You are not here in sight, but always here in mind.
The realisation that waves are talking, travelling through the space,
But like the air, your voice is invisible,
As are your feelings, your face.
An outstretched hand, catches the drivers attention,
Unaware, of your unreal week,
The call you got, not worth a mention,
Holding the pain back, unable to speak.
The people you know, know you,
Unfortunately I do not,
You cannot take your friends for granted,
I hope they know, what theyve got.
Many questionable emotions, to so many people, you give,
But to me it all seems so strange, all the Other Lives that you live
On Good Terms
On Good Terms we talk, so fruitful together,
Like a dandilion we grow, through the warm ssummer weather,
But like autumn, we stop, we fall from the trees,
Drifting apart, Im stuck, brought straight to my knees.
The waiting, the end. Expectation of decay,
With no sense of time, indifferent night, hopeful day.
Lying on moist soil, Stop. Mid afternoon dew,
Yesterday we parted, today we might too,
Tomorrow is spring, the warmth tells me when,
We can grow, we can bloom, I want you again.
I reflect on yesterdays winter of death and disease,
This year can be different, a new start, talk please
I never meant to push you away,
months of torture, endless, contemplate what i say,
It draws closer, I command each ray of the sun,
Lets not fight, stay together, be mine, become one.
As you grow, your beauty becomes so silky to touch,
Yesterday I lost you, now i love you so much.
Im sorry, stay here, like my heart the sun burns,
This summer, make sure, that we part on Good Terms.
No Response
The deafening silence of No Response, leaves imagination alone,
Words not spoken by you, thoughts not even your own.
The flickering projection speaks with your voice,
But the words which come out are words of today,
If I want you, then I dont have a choice,
Defeating the point, with just a few words you say.
The Unique way in which you work, leaves me unable to utter a word.
Universal Truth in your thoughts of justice,
A kind heart behind a softly spoken word.
These words I say are lost in a distance of fear,
Hoping silence is broken soon, wishing you were still here.
When my thoughts wander this distance,
I attempt to make the perfect you,
In no way different to the one I love,
As the definition of your perfection is who you are, and nothing new.
Your smile tells me all, the look in your eyes I know,
The pain of my happiness, the time you have to go.
My aching heart beats with an explosion of sound,
Your footsteps getting quieter, with my ear against the ground.
Its pointless to fight back a solitary tear,
Deserting a sinking ship, kept afloat, by the thought you are near.
Breaking the silence as I shout your name,
Only echoing back at me, reflecting the pain.
As I open my eyes the sequence is broken,
waiting intently for your words to be spoken.
Oh, what I would give to hear you, If only just for a while,
Anticipation growing weary, No Response, but thoughts of your smile.
Love Out Loud
Can I help it to Love Out Loud?
It starts with a whisper, to follow the crowd,
It ends with a whisper, which tells me to think,
But Ive thought and I know, with a shy loving wink.
Theyre only mauve letters, I ponder again
Tell me where, tell me how, tell me which, tell me when!
In answer to these I look beyond and above,
Im struck by the answer Ive fallen in love.
You comfort me from worlds away,
And I can see you, feel you, beg you to stay,
But this shadow whispers in an overcast voice
There is only one way to go, you dont have a choice.
This is the girl Ive never seen,
Ive fallen in love with my computer screen.
No matter how far, a bridge will appear,
The gap will be smaller, the dull sky will clear,
My life is made for you, and all I do is wait,
Did we meet by chance? No, it was fate.
You have fallen down from the highest cloud,
And all I can do is Love you Out Loud.
Grizzly Bear
The glance I give is all I have, everything else is him.
The doubtful look that you dispatch, searches from within.
My thoughts and dreams are full of optimism, of the pessimistic sort,
Inevitability left from the hope, which leaves me feeling distraught.
But what you see is not the toys, or the memories, which you share,
Instead I send a foreign sense, like a typical Grizzly Bear.
The cast out gaze, which you returned, showed the apathy in your heart,
The disowning of all the feelings, until the heaven of the day you depart.
I can only imagine the things you do, his words that he may say,
These are the words that could have been mine, if Id spoken them yesterday.
You could have been in my arms, it was me you were waiting to call,
I would be there, with my arms aloft to catch you when you would fall.
When he says those three little words, it is me who is standing there,
But outside those dreams, in reality, I am a Grizzly Bear.
Did you ever?
Did you ever love somebody?
But thought they didnt care
Did you ever feel butterflies?
When you saw them standing there
Did you dream about them every night?
Wake up, and wish it was true?
Well CJ, I must confess thats what I feel with you.
Did you ever close your eyes?
Dream of kissing them really slow
Did you ever watch them walk away?
Not wanting them to go
Did you whisper God, I love You?
Every time that they walk past
Ive felt this way for a while now
Im telling you at last.
Did you focus on them for minutes?
Thats where your eyes will stay
Then when they look back at you
You pretend to look away.
Did you ever try to be their friend?
Be generous and kind
When deep down its more you want
Love is on your mind.
Well that concludes my poem for you
Ill see you another day
You are beautiful, kind and a good friend
I love you CJ.
