And I'll also try and get this blog moving, too.

I guess I'll add myself to the Authors page now...


This note as come to an abrupt because of a sudden alien invasion...

Only Human [Moonstar]

Moonstar here, bringing another [slightly depressing] poem!

City winds blow,
Friends and family gasp below,
But you can’t jump.
After all,
You’re only human.

A sharp knife,
Pointed at your wife,
But you can’t pull the trigger.
After all,
You’re only human.

A shotgun,
Wielded by your son,
But you can’t face him.
Instead you run.

After all, you’re

Only

human.

Thanks

It has been a pleasure being with you. I hope you'll read what I've posted so far... and you will write new posts. As always, you can see the rest of my creations here.

Poem: Diamonds

Clearer than ice,

Flash like fire.

Harder than bone.

Beautiful like you.

Diamonds are true

Poem: Green Life

© Jadefireeyes

Come, run with me under these trees.

See the green?

Feel the life?

Now, I’m not telling you to leave your kind so you can just be with me.

I know you civilized ones hate to do things like that.

But…

Sure, in the wild it’s rough.

And my kind aren’t very welcoming to outsiders.

And yes, I know you’ve got comforts livin’ civilized and all.

But you feel real proud every day when you survive to see tomorrow.

You get to feel the wind.

Hear the song of the leaves.

Hunt for your own food.

You feel more alive, somehow,

Knowing it’s not guaranteed it won’t be taken away.

And this place it quite beautiful,

Isn’t it?

Poem: The Essence of Dreams

© Jadefireeyes

Gauzy apparitions sweep their fabulous feathers

In the winter-spiked air.

They run under the moon through the snow-dappled trees.

These are the agitated nightmares that

Materialize in my sleep.

My dreams: glacier blue lakes,

Creatures that fly,

Liberated,

Beneath the sky and sway from the weight of air.

They are dizzy with thought,

Their wings as slender as the rays of dawn.

When they soar they can finally believe that

Fear thrives in shadows,

And hope is an empty promise.

When you add and subtract what’s left of you,

You can’t see yesterday.

I am afraid to take a risk.

You expect to find yourself in someone else,

But this transformation ends and begins with you.

My dreams still dance:

A figure that chases rainbows in a box of prismatic light.

The azure depth of night.

A hot candle magnified beneath the glare of wind.

Iced April with a frosty exhale.

The sun chasing shadows.

The rattle of glass.

Dust swept up by gravity to fly

Untouched

By the world.

Here dreams connect fantasy to reality.

My hair is curled by the sweat of human fear.

Foggy entrances chinked by memories.

Poem: Moon

 © Jadefireeyes

 

The moon floats

A silver orb

Glistening pearly white

Illuminating

The delicate strings of cobweb

Hanging from branches

Clinging in mist

Framing a path

Through the forest

Poem: Mystery

© Jadefireeyes

Among the rain

The stars began

To burn through

The sheets of clouds

And a figure moved

Tense

Wary

Unheeded

In pursuit of something

Unknown

And mysterious

To me

Poem: I Saw

© Jadefireeyes

I saw a reflection of the summer sky in water,

Threads of light crisscrossing

In a latticework

Of beams.

There was a haze down east

Where vapor was tinged

With violet,

Contrasting against

Strong shadows

And sun.

Midnight

© Jadefireeyes

 

In the dark and silent hours

There is only candlelight from the stars.

Evening

© Jadefireeyes

Purple skies deceive the most watchful eyes

I whisper and listen.

Poem: Alone

© Jadefireeyes

I dwelt alone

On the other side of the sky vault,

Everyday as the sky was climbing

The darkening land in the west,

Forever with an unopened eye.

Blazing.

Shaking my mind and soul

With its white-hot radiance.

For now,

The night is senescent,

And is but a fragment

Of a dream within a dream

That steals me

Drowsily and musically,

With a lullaby sound.

It cries out

And extinguishes into a whisper

Around me,

I am left alone

Trembling from afar.

But then my thoughts pour out,

The truth is exposed.

A shadow dances

In the moonlight

All around me,

Singing.

My sorrow is awaken

But my loneliness is taken.

Poem: Dream

© Jadefireeyes
Night out

And in again,

There is silent music

And stirring shadows.

Footsteps on snow,

The curving shore.

The garden thrives

On the words in my mind,

Pieces of my mind,

Memories of my mind.

There are blossoms and bones…

How can I follow

My beautiful dreams?

The waxy night air whirls

In my footsteps,

And shadows skittle forward.

They are star black.

At the threshold of my memory

Stolen arrows

Snake through the grass.

Poem: Hurt

© Jadefireeyes

It is human to feel pain.

It is not humane for someone to hurt you.

Here, does not the tear sound so loud when falling on your pillow,

Loud as a rain drop thousands of feet up?

And your throat aches, as unpleasant

As the smell of ozone.

I try to be perfect but she only criticizes.

I came to your doorstep expecting comfort,

Finding only black cobblestones you tried to bleach

And a dead cat impaled by a telephone pole,

Stiff and silent.

I try to remember that night.

There were stars above the city.

Birdsong within a thunder storm.

You want to experience my pain,

Wanting excitement.

You do not know it will only make your hollow heart emptier.

You only see the poppies blowing.

Poem: Speech

© Jadefireeyes

Her words

Are like spring again,

Not wounded hopes

Or a creed for darkness.

Her singing,

Are borrowed love poems,

Fragments from the fire.

Burnt offerings.

The shape of the journey

Is a gradual twilight.

The tempest of the stars.

Infinite days.

You consider the radiance,

The color of dust,

Drifting the ice

For harmonic balance.

She is the talking tree.

You are the one

Who enters the stories.

paradise lost

soft gray light streams through the curtains, the same color as her eyes. an image of her appears in my mind of auburn hair and olive skin, and I sigh, softly. she would still be sleeping right now.

who should i be for her? who can i be? i, who have been alive for more than a thousand years, forever damned. i, who have dreamed of her from the moment i saw her and wanted her for my own.

such eyes.

such selfishness.

no wonder paradise was lost to me.

From the New Member

I discovered Anecdote a few months ago and noticed almost no one posts anything anymore. I’ve already read most of the posts that there are on this blog. Can someone post something new? And please, Moonstar, continue your “The Other Side of the Card”. I’m really interested in it.

Also, do you think I should continue my blogger name, Jadefireeyes? It sounded really good at the beginning but now it’s starting to get a bit boring. Please comment your opinions.

As always, I would really like to hear from you. Email me at jadefireeyes@gmail.com or comment. If you’re interested in joining Blog for Joy (blogforjoy.blogspot.com), tell me, and I’ll make you one of the writers. It’s somewhat similar to Anecdote because anyone can join and post for it, but I’d like you to contribute about anything that makes you happy, like your new puppy, your new friend, etc., and not fictional works. Like the name suggests, it’s a site to make readers happy. If you have any tips for teens in order to keep their self-esteem up, I’d love that too.

 

Thanks for reading. Jadefireeyes

Also, if you would like to join Blog for Joy, or blogforjoy.blogspot.com, email me at jadefireeyes@gmail.com. I plan on posting happy sotries about life and tips for teens for their self-esteem.

Poem: Nightfall

© Jadefireeyes

Heart of the breath

And the sorrows of the cold stone.

Weighing light

As you have a gleam in your eye.

Soul and stone,

Sadder then water,

The night cries

For a necessary kindling.

It is a time between ashes and roses,

And a starry sky shines

Above the land.

On a wing of the sun,

Memory is no stranger.

At first light,

In a dark summer you run,

Race from the forbidden entries

Of stars and other signs.

The gold of the tigers.

Poem: A Flower Blooming

© Jadefireeyes

luv’s a flower blooming
in the tree of life
in an eternal spring.
luv’s a bird singing
in the tree of life
in an eternal spring.
luv’s a thing of magyk
between u an  me
in the tree of life
in an eternal spring.
