music, when soft voices die
i like to open my poetry book at random
and see what poem finds me or what poem i find :)
"Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory-
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on. "
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Opening the book at random it brings Anticipation
But if this is the poem the you found...taking things in random, there must be greater things await when u take a random approach LOL
So very hauntingly / hopelessly romantic.
Im very bad at interpreting poetry, I could never understand them but this one seemed to connect instantly, maybe its got to do with the subject :) Thanks for it sharing it with us.
Yeah next time I would definitely stay longer. I come from a small university town, so chicago was really intimidating and beautiful. Even NYC and San Francisco didnt do that to me. When I come next time around, maybe you could show me around, Ill promise to be a good boy :))
iamnasra :: yeah it's fun. i hope so *fingers crossed* :)
jaxe :: great description.
sensiblystoned :: ny or sf didn't do it , wow that's wierd. maybe i can be a tour guide :) i'm glad you liked chicago.
It is so twilight zone like when I read some of your stuff. I took an intro to writing poetry in college, and chose to do a study of PB Shelly. Can't remember a darn thing now, but this sprung to life, like a beautiful flower in a barren meadow.
I used to do the very same thing in high-school! Right now I kind of left poetry...I guess I betrayed myself a little!
mermaid :: wow, that's crazy! i like how you described it :) btw, saw a film "Me, You and Everyone we Know" I really, really recommend it. I loved it!! If you get a chance, go see it ok.
kayla :: start again!! or start writing some yourself :)
We actaully rented "Office Space." Nothing in the theaters looked good. Will keep this in mind.
i heard that was good.
this film i mentioned, very similiar to Crash in that its about people trying to connect with each other. it's very, very beautiful. i hope you see it.
