Hahaha, maybe. Maybe I'm a phoenix. ;) Fire + wings + gold and red, right? *chuckle*
If you want to take the literal meaning of 'angel', as 'messenger', then perhaps I am an angel. If you want to interpret it as a being who acts as a guide and guardian to others, or as one who teaches, then it applies. If you see it as one who is devoted to service to God, then it still applies.

*shrug*

 :)

Also, it took me FOREVER to find/make wings that looked right!! Second Life is great, but some building gets pretty complex.
*wanders off, muttering about prims and scripts*

The red dress is pretty much identical to the one that I wore to my prom, junior year in high school.

The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

The following is addressed to someone IRL. Non-RAFian.


For CW
---
Maybe someday soon,
you will share a song again
with me, and a smile.

In that smile there is
so much sunlight and rushing wind,
I think I can feel it on my own face.

If you keep running,
the wind may take you anywhere,
but I hope that it brings you back to me.

The world is vast, and
there is so much time and so
much music in it.

This is a stream-of-consciousness poem. It may suck. I'm just typing whatever I think.
---
one with punctuation added later
---
Random delights. Night-lights. Fight or flight? Why walk when you can run? Why run when you can fly?
Run jump touch the sun. Nothing hides from behind bright light. Can't be reached unless you try.
Don't stop. Gimme' a hand up. Can't get up until you fall. Try to break through the wall but never quite make it. See your smile it's been awhile. Don't turn away sweet, pray stay with me, tarry a day.
Share the sun and the wind, sea-spray and dive past the misty grey. Twilight fades. A new star shines.
Be mine sweet soul don't try to hide. I'll find you past the city lights crossing the bridge. Another place, another face. Where will they live, the bird and the fish? Make a wish and let me be your star.
---

one without the punctuation
---
Breathe the night like ice in my veins feels so cool like rain kissing my eyes can't run from this tried so long to sing my song didn't hear me looks so clear but still waters do run deep can't sleep see your pain want to end it don't know how you know I can't break a vow like this so many vanities don't know where to flee am I running or standing still do what you will I won't stop you.

Let me drift on this song like a dream don't feel like waking up yet just watching the tune the pattern behind dark curtains black out the moon wrapping cool chords around me true bright sound like bells but better clearer needs no description deceptive reasoning dodge the meaning look for sound and smells like ice can't find a way out shout and pound on the walls closing in room spinning but nowhere to turn falling or flying or running nothing certain anymore but the song is always there always my song.

Eheh...Goom, lad, this thread is rather exclusively for my writings. Usually, if you have something that you want read, art-wise, you make your own thread. No offence.
If these are your only poems, I won't get terribly bothered over it, but if you have more that you wish to post, please make yourself a thread for it, and don't clutter mine.  :)

yeah, i saw the 'poetry' in the title and thought that it was just you that made the topic.
didn't realize the whole thing was yours.

i'll get around to making a haiku/limerick thread maybe later, but i can wait.

Haiku are AWESOME.

Goom is amusing.
I've known him not long at all,
yet he has made me laugh.

I am sure that I
shall enjoy learning more of
this new RAFian.

Broken---
Beautiful,
you try so hard to fix me,
can't you see
without your beautiful eyes tearing up?
Can't you say
without your beautiful lies tearing up
what's left of my reality?
 
Hiding,
wearing your own face as a mask,
not to conceal,
but to protect us, you say,
because you're too honest to protect yourself.
You feel so alone in the dark,
can't you feel this warmth on your own face?
I can't even look at you.
You burn my eyes.
How can you call yourself cold?
I can't even touch you.
You're so far away, even when you're here.
How can you call yourself distant,
when I can feel your tears on my face?
 
Clear,
and bright like a full moon is bright,
so much whiteness shining
not from you,
you say,
but through you.
How can I believe that,
when I'm standing here in the focus?
You're on and off like a flame,
and you burn me inside and out.
How can you stand in all that heat
and not be consumed by it?
The truth in your words leaves me bleeding.
It cuts like a healer's knife,
hurting as it mends.
 
I don't know what truth is, anymore,
but if truth means dark and cold and empty,
then I think I'll keep your beautiful lies,
and I'll let the heat take over me.
If I'm going to be broken,
better to let you be the one to break me.
Better to let you be the one tearing up my world.

Thanks, Goom!

Another Haiku for Goom

Don't let anyone
tell you how to live. Only
you can be you, Goom.

Winged mushroom-things
are strange, sure, but they're pretty
cool, considering.

Restful Spirit

Beloved I see you sitting there silent
and dark in the night waiting for
me to open my eyes
watching over my dreaming
here in your arms
your heart beats sweet music in my ears
slow deep breathing pulling my mind
away to the deep warm black
throw a kiss to the world for me
since I can't seem to find my way
back to life
don't feel like waking up
it's so much nicer
so much warmer here dreaming
with you watching me
while the storm rages outside my door.
