POEMs.....

[klanger]

LOLOL bettina, do you know that a few years ago hmmm probably 20 or so now, they tried to get birth control set up in some of the poorer countries to try and slow down the population increases. I remember reading a list of reasons given by women when asked about the pill and why it hadnt worked for them.

 

One lady admited to taking the pill vaginally, another went through 6 months supply in two months, she had been poppin a pill for each of her three boyfriends, another took it just before sex and at no other time..... the list went on and on and was hysterically funny.

 

I dont think it was funny to those women, but it gave me a good giggle, and I expect that pretty promptly after that someone made a point of having the pill and how to use it clearly explained to these people.

I wonder if there's a poem in there somewhere.

Mary had a little Lamb,

she tied it to a Pylon.

10 thousand volts went up it`s ar$e,

and turned its Wool to Nylon!

[Bettina]

Mary had a little lamb

Her father shot it dead

Now it goes to school with her

between two hunks of bread

there was a young lady from bod

who thought she'd been got at by God

but it wasnt the almighty

that got up her nightie

it was Roger her lodger the sod!

[ag4gt]

There was a young lady named Bright;

Who traveled much faster then light.

She started on day in a relative way;

And returned on the previous night.

flies are a nuisance bees are worse

[Bettina]

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet

Her clothes all tattered and torn.

it wasn't the spider that crept up beside her

but Little Boy Blue and his horn.

Nathan

 

You could never truely know

the fear inside as I felt you grow

that one day you might also die

or that I might reject at the sound of your cry

 

You were born to this world a wonderful gift

and gave my heart a beautiful lift

so different were you a gift from above

one look at you and I was in love

 

You came at a time of dreadful sorrow

you enabled me to look toward tomorrow

so different and in so many ways

I found I could run forward instead of sway

 

One day you may wonder why you're not the same

as MIchael and Aimee but Pearson's your name

"but they are blond, and I am brown"

I can hear your question, see your frown

 

I cant honestly say what made you so

I guess that's something we'll never know

your differences were made in a loving act

to your ultimate creator I tip my hat

 

I love you as when with that first stare

I was dazzled by your shock of hair

with your Scottish blood you are a heathen

but to me you are my sweet sweet Nathan

[klanger]

Aimee Melissa

 

Should you ever wonder why

of all the names here under the sky

how did we decide upon

Aimee Melissa it seems so wrong

 

Aime is a word of love

no better name to be prouder of

Melissa is another time

the doctor she will pay for her crime

 

Your elder sister had she lived

would have had that name for what a bad man did

he took a child so fresh and new

what he was doing he damn well knew

 

When finished he looked at her telling face

and so he locked her in a case

no more to laugh no more to cry

and there that baby slowly died

 

Moved to tears I knew what to do

that little girl can now live through you

so that's how we decided upon

Aimee Melissa, it's not so wrong

[klanger]

Michael

 

I see in you a change thats good

you're turning away from becoming a 'hood'

My Michael has become loving and caring

having stopped all that futile daring

 

You have a keen sense of right and wrong

you even sing in tune to song

at night you sometimes wet the bed

I know the problem, its in your head

 

The insecurities you are feeling now

we'll milk them like a dairy cow

we'll build your confidence oh so high

till every morning you'll find you're dry

 

We'll fight those battles one by one

exorcising those ghosts until they're gone

and when at last you become a man

you'll find in me your biggest fan

[klanger]

The above three poems are ones I wrote back in the early 90's for my three children.

This one is beautiful but sad and I'm caught reading a lot into it. I hope it wasn't true.

[klanger]

Yes it is very sad Bettina, the baby I lost was as a direct result of a negligent doctor who just didnt see the symptoms and act on them. Melissa was indeed another little girl from quite a few years ago who was taken by a peadophile, she was found dead some time later locked in a suitcase, the post mortem claimed she had died in the case and not before. Pat Benatar wrote and sang a song in her memory "suffer the little children", I can give you the words to that song if you want, but you will need the tissues ready, its soul destroying. The information about Melissa I got from a tape of Pat's that I had many years ago, it was on the inside cover.

No need to....I'm still suffering from Jessica and my own ghosts. There is a big difference though, between a negligent doctor and a peadophile. Its called "intent". I feel really sad for you.

 

Love

Bettina

[klanger]

uhmmm I think we are talking at cross purposes here Bettina, back in 89 I had just got a Pat Benatar album when I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I absolutely fell in love and was deeply moved by the song "suffer the little children" which was about a little girl that had been taken mmmm in the states I think, her name was Melissa. The song so moved me that I wanted to call my baby Melissa if I were to have a girl. seven months later through a negligent doctor I lost my baby and she died within me, we felt it innapropriate to then call her Melissa too, she was buried as Cassandra Jane. Three years later I had another baby girl but the name Melissa was still too tender for me, so we chose Aimee as her first name and Melissa as her second. I appologise for the confusion and any distress this has caused you, don't be sad Bettina it was a long time ago now, and I have come to terms with it, I will never forget her, but it no longer hurts like it did when I think about her.

 

I am so sorry but I don't know who Jessica is, and if you feel unable to talk about her I will understand, I just want you to know that talking does help sweetheart it really does.

 

With regard to your own ghosts, you know it is us that keep them there, we wont let them go till we have gone through a whole gambit of emmotions in dealing with them, ranging from guilt anger acceptance and then finally we are able to move on, it is only then that ghost leave us alone. There is no hard and fast rule as to when this should take place, for some people its is very soon for others it can take years, there is no shame in the length of time it takes for anyone to reach acceptance, all that matters is that you are finally able to get there. My heart goes out to you in this battle my thoughts are with you.

 

Hugs sweety

My "ghosts" are always being renewed as the old ones go distant for awhile then fade away. Coping with what I see is my big problem, but what troubles me is miniscule compared to what you went thru. I sent you a PM.

One of mine

The substance was strong as powerful as the mind

Reality and time had no bind

Were these visions fictitious or real

All I do know is the terror I did feel

John the Baptist spent sixteen years in barren lands

To achieve his legendary healing hands

Did he need to suffer such great pain

For the enlightenment he was destined to gain

I'm on the edge and looking over

I have no choice I'm a dimension mover

 

When your on the ladder and ready to ascend

There's only one thing on which to depend

Faith is the key, without it we'll never get there

Neither you nor me.

[davidivad]

I felt a cleaving in my mind

as if my brain had split

i tried to match it seam by seam

but could not make it fit

i strove to bring the thought ahead

unto the thought before

but sequence raveled out of sound

like balls upon the floor...

 

johnny was a chemist

johnny is no more

for what he thought was h2o

was h2s04...

[petrushka.googol]

Here is a poem based on Physics that I penned some years back....

 

Light is a mystery,

And men throughout history,

Have tried to explain,

Why light travels in straight lines?...

That's all very fine.

 

Light is both particle and wave,

And as to how that is true...,

I have not a clue.

 

Light bends when near a star,

Physicists can state that from afar,

And the fabric of space-time,

Like some engrossing pantomime,

Continues to mystify us.

 

Light is truly a wonderful thing,

For all the joys it can bring,

Like children let us continue to have fun,

In the radiance of our star - the Sun.

Evolution

Scattered across the sky, points of light to the naked eye
Fiery orbs of red to blue, storms of violence unimagined to the mind
Magnetic flames caress companions held in gravity’s bond
Creating colors of heat-less flame in the sky

Curtains of light shimmer and race
Evidence of magnetic defense from the companion’s heart
Allowing a strange twist of entropy to multiply, exist and expand
Defiance! Of the law that binds time and space

Order and arrangement, chemical reactions grow more complex
In spite of the necessity to become simple and scattered
Things that move and should not exist,
Mostly their form is no more than specks

Competition spawns in entropy’s mirror
Cooperation magnifies the mirror’s effect
Forming masses of pulsating beings with no sense of time
Neoteny allows the young to steal from the old, that which is superior

Complexity drives the defiance of law
Soon awareness of surrounding space
Drives the increasing awareness of self and others
The more aware leads the less to their maw

While others escape to new spaces the aggressive can’t pursue
Other less mobile forms raise antennae to absorb
All the energy of the glowing light from the sky
Competition is fierce between the motile and those that look to the blue

Competition and cooperation step up the pace
What will grow, multiply, dominate, or die
Soon the liquid that dissolves the chemicals from others
No longer surrounds those that have moved to the surface

The surface is dry most of the time
Requires sex cells to become motile
When the rain comes, unknown and unseen, sex covers the wet earth
Sex cells swim up the trunks of trees allowing growth to dizzying heights

The ones that move will not be left behind in this assault on the land
Hatched in the water but able to walk and slither
Animals join the plants in conquest of the land
Eating not only the tall forms that feed on light but each other as well

Eons pass neoteny makes the grade again and again
Animals revert to their larval forms again to hasten change
Soon warm beings rule the cool dry land
First four legs then two strut out of the forest and across the land

On of these tall neotenic beings walks into the morning sun
His mate and child walk with him
Large brains, opposable thumbs, reach for the ground
Pulling up a flower yellow as the sun
The man holds the yellow sex organ of the plant and sees beauty

His mate smiles, they turn to continue on towards domination of the world
