I'm soo sorry everyone! I had to edit out much of my literature, and make much of my journal private, for personal reasons. Perhaps sometime in the future I can undo what I had to do today.

Free Me From Myself

Though the world can be cruel and cause pain, the raw force of your own life unshielded if left unchecked can be even more devistating to yourself. It sounds like you have taken the first steps to controlling your own raw force.

When you have succeded in that, the world can do it's worst, and you will not be phased by it.

im still sorry for what i've put you through.

I'm sorry for not posting here in a while, but due to recent circumstances, I no longer feel safe pouring my heart and soul into literature here on the tfp. Until a certain situation is resolved, I may not be posting much literature, if any.

Ah crap, there goes my lit thread.

Told Me Not To

< Removed >

You, my friend, are a true poet. I am blessed to have been allowed a peak at such a fine and true heart.

Keep posting, I will surely keep reading -- and don't let anyone stop you from writing, whether or not you feel able to post it or not is another matter.

Here's another version of the last poem I posted. Amazing how the changing of a few words can change so much in a poem's meaning.

Told Me Not To (Version 2)

< Removed >

I wrote this just over a week ago about my walk back to work in the rain. I didn't think it was ready to post, but every time I reread it to try to perfect it, it seemed more and more set without me changing it.

I Keep Walking

These three haiku I wrote today for an assignment in my humanities class. I'll see how the class likes them tomorrow. First I'll share them with all of my friends here at the tfp.

I really enjoy the fact that you use repetative lines, it brings a forceful meaning to your work. I can understand how an emotion can be so bearing on your mind/heart that it freely flows again and again -- an answer to every question that your heart could ask.

I enjoyed the haiku's as well. Although the third gave me quite a smile, I would have chosen the second as the best -- your words are well chosen and placed with precision.

No Guarantees

*bump*

This is a cool thread, trying to keep it on the first page.

You're poems have truly touched me in a way I cannot describe. I envy your talent to make simple words so powerful.

Thank you all for your support! It means a lot to me to have touched others with my words!

The following poem can be interpreted many ways. The literal sense stands out, but it is written as a metaphore for something that those following my journal my understand.

Go pumas.

NiceGuy,
Your work is so deep and full. I find it rather amazing how sadness can produce such beauty when penned through poetry. Keep writing those feelings. Not only are you writing great poems, you are doing your soul a service and helping it heal.

You're responses are always so kind! Thank you, Angel.

Thinking about the kind responses I have recieved here made me go back and finish a poem I had started in late October, but never got around to finishing.

Your Every Word

nice correlation between potential real life and a game of chess.

I have just started reading your literature. I really relate to and admire No One Knows. thanks so much for writing.

I like your cross-over to simplistic diction here. A lot of people (myself included) all to often get caught up in their own words so much that they miss conveying the message the had originally intended. Sometimes less is more.

CUZ YOURE A DORK! kidding..... midst of conversation with you.

Oh... I see... I've gone from "goon" to "dork" now... I think our friend would respond, "what the f#&k ever..." So I think I'm going to have to quote him on that and make it my response...

There was a time in which I edited out much of my literature, and changed a few lines in other pieces. After doing this, I said the following.

Now I am ready to put them back up for you to enjoy. I have put back the pieces of literature which I had edited out, and I have changed the lines of a few pieces back to what they were origionally. Now, my literature thread is completely whole agian. Finally, you can see my literature as it reflects my life, and what I have gone through since I started writing on a regular basis and posting my work here.
Please enjoy, and comments about any and/or all of my pieces are always welcomed and appriciated!

Edit: Something was mentioned to me which made me realize that I had to edit out some of my thoughts in order to be respectful towards someone I know. Therefore the works I edited back in may be missing lines.

kudos!
