I thought this might be a nice place to post some of our writings...anything from poetry to short stories or just thoughts.

I have been writing poems for about 10 years now. Many or most of them are ''mushy love stuff'' (AlexJr's opinion
.)...or ''cheezy'' (Naomi's opinion
). Some have to do with unusual things, like my former blue '88 Crown Victoria! hehehe.

Anyway, I'll start this out by posting one of my very favourite poems for you...it is called:

DREAMS OF YOU

Somtimes, in the deepest, darkest of nights
After everyone has turned out their lights
I hear your voice, you seem to be saying
That in the dark night, is where you'll be staying
Buried under layers of dreams upon dreams
Almost quite real...yet so very extreme
Days turn to nights and nights into days
Darkness that is followed by the sun's rays
Again, I awaken from a dream about you
Something that was just too good to be true
In my dreams, you're never far away
You never say 'goodbye', you always stay
You're perfect, attentive...a true gentleman
And you love me much more than anyone can
We spend hours gazing into each other's eyes
Never wanting to turn away, but we both realize
That this will last for only a short while
You hold my face close, I see your smile
I'll always remember the way you look right now
Our lips meets so softly, and I'm hoping, somehow
That this isn't a dream and I'll never awaken
But I open my eyes and from my arms you've been taken
I close my eyes once more and I can almost feel
The touch of your lips on mine...so soft...so real
But somehow I know better...whether I like it or I don't
It was only a dream, it didn't happen...and it won't
Its so very cruel the way things end in dreams
Almost quite real...yet so very extreme


Hilda Coronado, Feb. 23rd, 1998

Ok, that's it...how did y'all like it?

Thanks for reading! Please, will some more of you post some of your own writings or special thoughts?

Thanks!

That was heartbreaking and beautiful Hilda. So who was he and did you ever hook up? I used to dabble in poetry too--lost or unrequited love is so inspiring, isn't it. Now that I'm an old married lady, I save my poems for my kitties. I write them for my foster mom cats. Here's a short one about my first pregnant mom:

Ziggy

If you're looking for a cat
Who is distant and aloof,
Then Ziggy is NOT the kitty
You should have beneath you roof.

She's friendly, sweet, and gentle
And will greet you face to face.
she'll "talk" to you about your day
While balls and toys, she'll chase.

A mommy of six kittens
Though she was still one too,
She's lookiing for someone to love.
If you're lucky, that will be you.

Ooo, I love your kitty poem! So sweet!


Nope, we never did get together
...but I've got lots of stuff I've written about him...here's another:

PICTURES OF YOU

I spent all this morning staring at a picture of you
Hoping I could tell you all the things that I've always wanted to
But life has put you in a place where I just can't be right now
I wish I could bridge the space that separates you & me, somehow

What I would give to hold you this close and tell you that I care
Too look into your eyes & run my fingers through your long, black hair
And with every breath you'd take you'd draw me even closer to your heart
But I guess I should face the fact that you & I must always be apart

I wonder if you're lonely or are you really as happy as you seem?
I wish I was loving you right now, but that is only my sweet dream
The truth is I hope you're happy & you have all you ever wanted to
I'll just spend my days & nights staring at this picture of you.

Hilda Coronado, Friday, March 6th, 1998

So did he ever see any of these poems about him? That one feels like a song. Perfect title too. Ever added music to any of your poems??? When my kids were little (1-2 yrs), I wrote them each a poem/song. It took much longer for the younger one, cause he was a handful since birth and I kept waiting for sweet inspiration. Finally gave up and just included his naughtiness.

Yes he has seen them but I never let him know that they were written about/for him...too shy about it. I'd love for someone to someday put some of my words to music...but for now, they are just poems.

LOL! I too have written poems for my kiddos. This is one I wrote on Naomi's birthday. Funny how the words just came to me on that day...
NAOMI

What does it mean, being a daughter?
All the time I've spent as one, I never really knew.
But I've learned alot about it
Since I've known you.
From the moment I first saw you,
I've loved you with all my heart.
And even though we've always been close,
Someday, I know, that we'll be apart.
But for now, you bring light to my eyes
And a smile to my face.
That's not to say you're perfect,
No that just wouldn't be my place.
But, everything you are right now
Is everthing I should have been then.
And I hope that as time goes by us
We can always remain as friends
Because I know you'll make mistakes...
I've made more than my share.
And when you just can't seem to find your way,
Please know that I'll always be there
To welcome you into my heart again
Where you have always been, and you can always stay.

Hilda Coronado November 26th, 1997

That's one of my special poems for my special Naomi...

Ah! "Dreams of You" is bittersweet. You are truly a poet. That is much like daydreams I had as a teenager.

The only times I've written poetry is when something was funny to me and I could best express it in a poem accompanied by stick figure drawings. One day I wondered if I could write a poem for children, came up with the one below, and have never tried it again.

THE TERRIBLE SNEEZE

I crawled on my knees,
Through the grass and the trees,
Saw the birds and the bees,
Flying round in the breeze.

But I turned upside down,
And lost my keys,
When I was attacked,
By the Terrible Sneeze!

I fell on my chin,
Eye to eye with a bug,
Came ever so close,
To hugging that bug!

It was sitting straight up,
On a purple rug,
Drinking peppermint juice,
From a lavender mug.

The juice was poured,
From a cinnamon jug,
Chug-a-lug said the bug,
On the purple rug!

I turned around fast,
And tripped on some cheese,
It bounced in my face,
And I started to wheeze.

I ran and I ran,
And couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t believe,
I was attacked again,
By the Terrible Sneeze!

Ah choo! Ah choo!
Thereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s dust in my nose,
Weeds on my sneakers,
And mud on my clothes.

When I get back home,
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll study disease,
And find a cure,
For the Terrible Sneeze!

This is kind of sad I wrote a few months ago. It is about how my grandma is since I check up on her every day before I go to college.

"As I Fear"


As I fear,

Her days are near,

The coming of the end;

The tears I shed are very real,

Though some people just do not feel,

The fear I have of finding her,

Gone,

Or to find her at the time of dawn,

Her death will take me

To an unforgiving place.

That will leave a bitter taste.

This is my fear,

The one place I do not want to be near,

For now I am,

Almost in tears.

That really sounds like a great picture book for kids! Got any artist friends to illustrate for you? Let me know when its published.


Just read one of Hilda's other posts. She's an artist. So how long will it take for you guys to get that book out?

I'm heeeere! lol! Sorry that I haven't been around much these last couple of days. I usually don't get online much on weekends...family time ya know (hey...what happened to the littl red heart smilie that's usually right here to the right of the page...guess I'll go search for it in the big page)
I do manage to check in now & then but not like during the weekdays. Oh yeah, I'm not around at all during the daytime on Tuesdays because the hubby works from home on those days so he's online during business hours...I check in sometime in the evenings mostly.

Just want to say very quickly that I've enjoyed reading all your poems so much! I especially love the ones about your granmas...so touching. The terrible sneeze is wonderful as well!

Its true I am an artist. If y'all haven't checked out my artwork slideshow, please do so at the following link...click on the slideshow called 'A Boy'...I just tried it and it says its temporarily unavailable...however, if you click on ''A Boy'' several times, it will come up after all:

http://2994618624.slide.com/p/0/DSCF3208?view=true

Thanks again...I will add some more poetry later on, maybe tonight, if not tomorrow!

Take care all...have a great rest of your weekend...

I checked out your artwork Hilda--you certainly are talented--I especially like the guys with nice hair. So how about illustrating the Terrible Sneeze--I especially like the "eye to eye with a bug" line. Wouldn't that be a great picture? (you're right, that heart is missing.)

Yep, I think The Terrible Sneeze would make a wonderful children's book! I've been thinking about illustrations but really I think my daughter, Naomi, would be best suited at illustrating something like this. Oh yes, she's an artist as well as a writer too!
Actually, both my kids are, Alex Jr writes or composes music and does some anime type of drawing at times. Naomi can draw just about anything and I think her style would be more suited to something like this than mine would.

Great poems everyone!

There was a time in my marriage when my hubby was sent out of town, because of his job, just way too many times. The year of 1999 he was barely even home. He'd be gone for a few weeks and come home for a weekend...then he'd be gone again. I spent a lot of lonely days & nights that year and this was the time I wrote some of my best stuff I think. It was a very difficult time in our lives but if it hadn't happened, I never would have written this way...

ANOTHER NIGHT

Another night she spends alone
Staring silently at the phone
Another sunset, another dawn
Days and nights go on and on
Summer, winter, spring and fall
She waits and listens for his call
When will he come and ease her pain?
When will she fall into his arms again?
Forgets her life, forgets her sin
Forgets it all when he comes in
Loneliness can be so cold
She feels worn out, she feels so old
Talking to no one who will hear
She wishes that someone would be near
Feeling alone, she laughs, she cries
Feeling the pain, she softly dies.

------------------------------------------

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN

Take me in your arms again
Help me to remember when
Things were harder, yet so much better
We talked about 'always', talked about 'forever'.
All I could see was you
You filled my every day
Our nights were full of passion
Fulfilled in every way.
There was nothing that we couldn't do
No one came between me and you
But tonight I sleep in a half-empty bed
Visions of you, they fill up my head
I wish you were here with me right now
Wish I would wish you here, somehow
But your memory is all I can hold
Til you return to me, all I'll feel is cold.

Saturday, Feb. 20th, 1999

---------------------------------------
FOREVER

Tonight I lady here & I can't sleep
I close my eyes and in you creep
I remember how good it felt to hold you
The way my arms tried to enfold you
The warmth of your skin
Your tender touch
The smile on your face
Which I miss so much
I wish you were here with me tonight
I wouldn't complain or put up a fight
I'd hold on fast and never let go
And make sure you'd always know
How good this moment really is
Honest and true
How always and forever
I belong to you.



Friday, Jan. 15th, 1999.

----------------------------------------------

WITHOUT YOU


Who knew that forever would take so long?
I know I told you I'd wait
But the more you're gone
I find its so easy to do...
Without you.
It wasn't supposed to be this way
You there...me here
Wasn't supposed to feel like this
So much stress & emptiness
Without you.
You left a thought, a memory
That's all I have left for my company
I need much more than this
Need to remember your kiss
Need to remember how good you felt
The way you made my body melt
At your touch, at your embrace
At the look I saw upon your face
Come back to me my love, hold me again
Because its getting harder to remember when.
All that I feel is all alone
All I know is that I am
Without you.

---------------------------------------

Ok, enough sadness...I'll post some happier stuff in a bit...

You can't help it. Sadness is very inspiring. Just look at all those country songs. Speaking of which, Another Night and Take me in Your Arms again sounds musical to me.

Cheryl...thanks, yep a few of my poems are actually songs, but I'm NO singer! LOL...

On a more somber note, this is something I wrote shortly after Columbine...

VICTIMS

Why must we see this again...
Our children killing each other.
Must we witness again
The anguish of a grieving mother.
The victims of this violence
Were mostly scared, young adults
But so were the assassins.
Tell me please, who is at fault?
Is it the media
With its obvious influence?
Or maybe the parent,
Left without a defense.
''Watch for the signs''
That's what we are told.
But in the end it seems
More and more weapons are sold.
And our children just keep on dying
While the world watches
More mothers and fathers crying.

This is one of my personal favourites.

Hollow City

Let the silver blossom fade from its cracked pedestal
And fall to countless crystal shards,
The alabaster elephants so wrinkled wander
Through the dreamless bleak mayhem,
And the chained eagle cry as she glides over the burning viridian sun,
To stay in realms greater than this doomed dominion.

And let our holy blood flow through the stone walled roads
Down to the parched river where our mighty nectar mingles
With leaping, haunted currents
Who cajole and jest,
And wonder what we have done to earn our unrest.

It is time to raise our brittle hands
And lift ourselves from these wrathful sands
And turn our vast domed heads to all who
Dare to look upon our secret shame
And forget to speak our holiest of names.

From the shadows so few shall cross
To the sunlight that burns through our crimson skies,
It is time to raise our flashing eyes
And to unseal pallid, golden lips
To sing of our undying glory
While we meander silent through ancient chasms, ah --
To revel in this world of hollow stone.

But now we are alone.

( EMW - 04.21.06 -)


----

I have so many more, but for now I can't find them and I only have them in hard copy. I hope you've enjoyed the one posted.



Wait, here are some I found


This is one I wrote the day after Tucson (RB kitty) died, his nickname was Mooneyes.



Mooneyes [Tucson Arizona ~ ? - September 19th, 2005]

Mooneyes sails between the stars
Dreaming and scheming
And makebelieving
Sailing so far, so far

Over the world and through the heavens
Drifting quietly above
Purring gently, sleeping, my love
And sailing so far, so far

Mooneyes sails the silver fish skies
With twinkling golden mischievous eyes
Sitting calm, watching tunafish clouds
And sailing so far, so far

Beneath I my Mooneyes sleeps
A beautiful, checkered shadow
Who ever said that
Felines can't fly, asks I, asks I?

Sailing so far, so far

Mooneyes sails between the stars
Dream and scheme
And makebelieve
Purr gently, sleep sound, my love

And sail so far, my Mooneyes.

======

This one was written for a friend who rescues bettas (Siamese Fighting Fish) and had one die the same day he was rescued.

Peace For One Single Day

One day I went to the petstore
to find myself a friend
and I saw what I wasn't looking for
a betta at his end

His glorious tail, once so full
was tattered and black and so very still
His fins, once long and gloriously flowing
Were but rags that in the frozen current were blowing

And I said to that betta,
please don't dispair, to my home you'll be going
And your fins will be restored and lovely and flowing
And you will feast on fresh food galore
Not that tasteless flake food from the store

He looked at me with fear in his eyes
and I swear he moved his lips as he replied
But I have been abused,
For fighting I've been used

And they haven't fed me for so long
My fins are ripped and torn
And my colour is pale and deathly
Food? What is food, when you have not eaten

For weeks and on death's door I've been waiting
Once I was beautiful and aggressive and proud
What you see before me is my own funeral shroud
Why would you take me

There are so many others
That have their beauty and grace -- so like my Brothers
Who are free and are filled with amorous life
And who are cared for enough not to face my strife

But I thank you -- I thank you for what you will do
I will die happy, if not loving you.

I brought my betta home that day
And gave him a five gallon in which to play
But so quietly he slipped away
If he could have but peace for that one single day.

=====
Poem written after seeing documentary on elephants


She peers through the gossamer mist
Her glittering eyes so wise and brown


And the shadows of birds silently wheel
As she kneels and bows her noble head down.


The rain glistens between her lashes


Droplets mingled with sorrow and fear


As she touches the bones so stark and so white
And the dust is moistened with pachyderm tears.



So long has she wandered,

With her great herd


And they spoke to each other

With secretive words



Of the loss of one child

So long ago



Beside the great river



She once remembered.


----

That's it for now. Until I can find my others, this is what I've been able to dig up. Enjoy!

Oh, these are wonderful! I just love Mooneyes...that is beautiful. The one about the betta is also so sweet. I love how you write about animals so well. I don't know that I've ever written about any of my animals....guess maybe I need to. I write mostly 'mushy love stuff'...hehehe, kids


Anyway, time for more mush....not sure what to call this one, I've never entitled it...


I went down the street
Where love once walked
& skipped & ran
& laughed & talked

Right up to the house
Built with love's plan
With dreams & hopes
Of woman & man

But now love's house is empty
With no one around
Shadeless trees
Cast no shadows on the ground

The place where love was made,
Was nurtured & at last was born
Is now an unmade bed
That lies naked & torn

Empty halls echo with no laughter
The sound of love's sweet music-a thing of the past
A love that was once filled with wishes
& promises that were meant to last

Love's voice is quiet now
Making not a sound
Silence is the only thing that fills
The house where love once abound.

~*~Hilda Coronado, 03-25-04 thru 05-28-04~*~

This next one is a very special poem/song that was several years in the making. I guess I might have mentioned somewhere here on TCS that my son, Alex Jr, is a guitar player. Ever since he was very young, I'd been suggesting to him that he should try learning guitar. He finally showed some interest and we bought him his first guitar at a pawn shop.(he now owns about 5 or 6!) No sooner did he get his hands on it then he started 'writing' little songs...no lyrics...just melodies. He soon presented me with his first creation...it was soooo beautiful...soft, flowing, touching...well it just had me in tears! I told him he needed to write words for it...but he asked me if I would instead. I agreed and asked him to tell me about his song. He didn't really offer much except to say that he'd written it around 4 in the morning. I told him that was plenty and set to work. Well I had it in the back of my mind for over a year and could come up with nothing. One night, I was showering late, using the kids' bathroom...which was located across the hall from Alex Jr's bedroom. When I came out, I could hear him playing his guitar softly in the night...was around 2 a.m. I sat down to listen in the dark...all of a sudden these words started coming to me! Excited beyond compare...I got my spiral and wrote them all down! When I was done, I knocked on his door. He was so surprised that I'd be up at that hour. I told him that I had his song! He'd almost forgotten our 'deal'. Here's what I wrote on that night....

4 IN THE MORNING

Its 4 in the morning
and I'm thinking about you
Staring out into the dark, black night
but all I feel (see?) is blue

Millions of stars stare at me
out of the dark
And then there's the moon
that shines down its lonely spark

I thought you were the love of my life
I thought we'd always be husband & wife
I thought that time, for us, would stand still
I thought you'd come back...but I know you never will

Where are you I wonder
on this dark, lonely night?
Why did everything we have,
have to end up with a fight?

Wish you were here
with me right now
Wish I could 'wish' you
here somehow

But all the stars out tonight
can't make my wish come true
Cuz its 4 in the morning
and I'm still without you.

I thought you were the love of my life
I thought we'd always be husband & wife
I thought that time, for us, would stand still
I thought you'd come back...but I know you never will.

~*~Hilda Coronado, 2004 ~*~

This next one is sorta like my Dreams one at the beginning of this thread. Sometimes I borrow ideas or even phrases from some of my other writings...

Why write it down
for someone else to see?
Why do such a thing?
Because it fills the need?
It takes the place
of what can never be...
It fools the heart
that refuses to see.
Its there instead
of what is real
'Til make believe
is all you feel.
With paper & pen
it sounds so right.
But reality becomes clear
on a long & lonely night.
What became of the love
that flowed freely from my pen?
Will that kind of passion
ever come to me again?
The kind that lasts
for more than one night.
That through the years
grows stronger & feels even more right.
This love I've known
only in my dreams.
Filled with impassioned desire
and breathless screams.
It lives only in words
& thoughts while I sleep.
It'll never be real...
but its all mine to keep.
I write it all down
so that I won't forget.
But when all is said & done
I have only my regret.

~*~Hilda Coronado, March 14, 2005~*~


I'll add more later as well.

Wow, I am so glad I found this thread - there are some beautiful words here!!! It is lovely to know there are other writers here - I have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember - about 3 months ago, my clever youngest son helped me build a website to display some of my favourite things on - see what you think of this one - it's called 'Will You?'

Will you still love me, my darling,
When we're older, and wiser, and grey?
When our skin starts to sag,
And our feet start to drag,
Tell me, will you still love me this way?

And will we still laugh and be lovers,
With our teeth in a glass by the bed?
And if I can't hear
Your soft words in my ear,
Will you shout your sweet nothings, instead?

Will we dream as if life is forever?
Will we live like each day is our last?
Will we cruise down the street,
With the world at our feet?
(Will I still say you're driving too fast?)

And will there be love ever-lasting?
Will we welcome the end, without fear?
Side by side, hand in hand,
Leave our mark on this land -
I was yours,
You were mine,
We were here


I have been lucky enough to have a few little bits published (sadly not enough to let me give up the day job!!) and love taking part in poetry readings when I get the chance.

PLEASE keep these lovely words flowing - there are some more of mine here if you'd like to have a browse

Lou...
Thank you for joining us here. I visited your Poem Zone...impressive...most impressive (ok, that's my best Darth Vader impression
). I do love how you write....will you be posting more for us here? I hope so! Thanks again!

In the meantime...here are a few more of mine...

My love comes to me from far away places
From distant valleys and familiar places
From sunlight and moonlight in heavens above
I've searched far and wide to find my true love
Morning and evening, I yearn for his touch
Soft spoken whispers that still mean so much
The west wind brings me news of his arrival
I need to have him close for my very survival.

Wait for me, my love, in my dreams
Where nothing really is as it seems
That's where I left you last night
I opened my eyes and you were gone from sight
What as it that we were saying?
And what sweet game were we playing?
I remember your smile, I remember your face
If only I could go back to that place
And start again from where you faded away
From my embrace at break of day.

~*~May 20th, 1998~*~

What if I said...'let's run away!'
Imagine how far we would go in a day!
Across rivers and valleys we'd roam
In that endless search for a place to call home.
I imagine its somewhere full of soft, wet places
Fields of grass covered with delicate laces
Where colours seem to go on forever
Where trees stretch upward with little endeavour.

MY STAR

I like to think of the way you are
Splendid and wonderous, like a bright, shiney star
Untouchable, unsinkable...unthinkable too
Twinkling brightly in heavens of blue
Out of reach...but never out of mind
Never really knowing what you leave behind
Smiling faces filled with starry eyes
Gazing with wonder into your skies.

~*~May 11, 1998~*~

HIS WIFE

I wonder if you know just how lucky you are
You're that one special person who captured his heart
You'll forever have a place in his life
Forever to be known as his loving wife
To your children, you'll be the perfect mother
And in his heart there'll be no other
Yes I wonder if you know just how lucky you are
You've captured the brightest, shiniest star
One that has blazed a trail that will burn like fire
One that has filled many a heart with desire
Yet I know he remains ever faithful to you
You're the one who makes all his dreams come true
My head keeps telling me how much I should hate you
How with these words I write I should try to berate you
But I can't and I won't..ever, because you mean too much
I wouldn't want to be the one to crush
His heart and soul into the ground and make him sad
Because you've made him feel so happy, so glad
I hope that you're as beautiful and good as I think you should be
But I cannot deny the fact that instead I wish it was me
Who's face you'd see when you look into his eyes
This is all so futile I know, and I do realize
That for that part there can be only one star
I wonder if you know just how lucky you are.

Keep 'em coming y'all!
