Poems

I love William Blake's "Garden of Love" poem. Poetry of all kinds is so wonderful. I love the art of words. Just a random topic.

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And Thou shalt not. writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars, my joys & desires

"Porphyria's Lover" by Robert Browning is also another favorite of mine. Dark and twisted, but interesting to think about its meaning and what compelled him to write it.

The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; straight
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm;
Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall,
And, last, she sat down by my side
And called me. When no voice replied,
She put my arm about her waist,
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me — she
Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me for ever.
But passion sometimes would prevail,
Nor could to-night's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain:
So, she was come through wind and rain.
Be sure I looked up at her eyes
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
While I debated what to do.
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
As a shut bud that holds a bee,
I warily oped her lids: again
Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
And I untightened next the tress
About her neck; her cheek once more
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss:
I propped her head up as before,
Only, this time my shoulder bore
Her head, which droops upon it still:
The smiling rosy little head,
So glad it has its utmost will,
That all it scorned at once is fled,
And I, its love, am gained instead!
Porphyria's love: she guessed not how
Her darling one wish would be heard.
And thus we sit together now,
And all night long we have not stirred,
And yet God has not said a word!

@MetaphoricBliss YES! I love Ride! I love Lana. This was one of my favorite music videos, and I love what she added. She truly understands how to convey everything eloquently and beautifully. the way she says it, the words she uses, the tone she uses. all of it encompasses beauty and art. She is so incredibly gifted in my opinion. She knows how to make something simple into something beautiful. Even some of her very simple songs she has written have melodies that still captivate me due to the way they sound and come across.

I AGREE!!! Gemini are fantastic. Literally the greatest artists. Even Kanye had some memorable songs that were like "damn that is talent". One of my best friends is a Gem and she's great at writing. She's working on songwriting at a university in Nashville but going into music business. I think she would make a great artist.

I kind of agree that Drake's verse kind of brings down the songs flow even though I do like Drake. His word choice was not the best in this one, but I guess he gets props for trying? lmfao. Geminis just know how to have that natural flow of words and how to formulate them in an attractive and compelling way. I admire that. I don't have much gem influence, but I love writing myself. 🙂 I try to learn from the masters. Poetry is my favorite.

@MetaphoricBliss ^^

Oh I love her!! Yes very true. I only have one Pisces friend, and she paints but she is very good and very artistic. Pisces are definitely great artists when they are able to convey their thoughts clearly. I completely agree. I also follow a Pisces girl on twitter from California who paints and she is absolutely fantastic. I love her artwork. I'll have to look up more Pisces singers though. I don't know many of my favorite artists signs. Gotta keep up! lmao

My top three sign influences are: Scorp, Aquarius and Aries.
My top three planet influences however are: Sun, Venus and Saturn

Maybe it is the Venus influence that pulls me towards art.

I just found this on IG. Is from The KooZ.

They are somewhere in between chaos and eternity
He is the euphoric insanity
Attached to her breathing
And as toxic for her
he may be
She refuses to let
Go of her strong feelings
The impact of their worlds colliding
Wasn't supposed to last longer
Than enough days
That led to lonely nights
See Loves a complicated game when unannounced
And when he first left
Should've been her first step
There should've never been another play for him to run
But she entertained his game
She tested all agility
And as crazy as it seemed
Through all his lying cheating and inconsistencies
She still brought him to her major league
Fuck!
She claims
She's searching for eternal happiness
Where at worst is
Gods best
And no need for a superman fairytale
Her kings got a melanin S branded on his chest
Damn
She didn't even realize all that she felt
See she's still drinking out of the fountain of
The delusional well
Where perception of a wanted imagery
Clouds all logical judgement
She wishes to seek
Where although not diagnosed
Schizophrenic conclusions have collided with her reality
Where she thinks her love can make a cheating man
change for her sanity.

Stuck in your ruins
Delusional antics we formed
Through confusion we called building
How can you build when the sealing is lust
How can you trust when every man
That comes promising eternal bliss
Brings tears
She tells everyone to put themselves first
To put their wants needs and everything in between first
To hold themselves in the highest regard as queen
And if a man is not giving you everything you need
Tell him peace King I got to leave for me
But she doesn't
searching for the 1 to bring the ring with the loving
But they all
Continue to remind her that love means nothing
but pain and defeat
Why come back in her life to fuck her up
And now she got to leave
I got to leave
She knows to never listen to a mans words but to watch to his actions
And if only consistencies didn't lie within fractions and mis-happenings
There's nothing she can do or be that is enough
She gave you transparency
Wasn't enough
She gave you everything
she thought in this confusion you'd need to cherish her as your queen
and you've given her nothing
But tears that are dripping in between her seams
Soaking up her sanity as she drowns in the ocean
Created by her own dna
She prays one day that God will send her a man that she won't have to put Fuck boy in front of his name
One day and she'd know he's the one
She won't have to force phone calls and conversations
She won't have ever think she's competing with anyone or anything
She won't have to worry about other woman
And him posting like she's just living in one big oblivion
Until then the cycle of her heartbreak is a never ending continuum -The KooZ
