Tien - Tim - Hello Poetry

Tien - Tim Jul 2013

You're the picture my mind painted.
That's what's on my mind frame.
Like a Monet, everything is perfect from afar,
There maybe imperfections as we get closer,
But that's what makes it art.
So theres no need to hide behind that facade,
My feelings are truly genuine let it cascade.
Every now and then it may storm,
But let these rain drops dance around you,
As you ripple through my mind.
I know that we might not have it all together,
But at least I see that together we have it all...

I chose the title "Thought Reflection," because the more you reflect the more interpretations you can get out of a thought. Which reflects the different views this poem have.

A Monet is an impression art style, when you look at it from afar it looks clear, the closer you come to it, it is more pixelated.

Perfect Stranger

I see you everyday,
Never had anything to say.
But thoughts of you flood my mind,
As my dreams dive into you,
All I can do is drown without an utter of a word.
But in silence my eyes speaks,
And you can see my intentions.
I know I don't know you,
But I know I won't make you cry.
Don't even know your name,
But let's leave it a mystery.
What we don't know will be a luxury.
That way everyday we can explore.
That way I can be your perfect stranger.

There's always an excitement of the new feeling of the exploring the unknown. Hence I chose perfect stranger as the title.

Pangea's Notion pt 5 of 5

Fire

Unwavering love,
Like a flame on a candle,
Needs to be relit.

I ended it with fire because relit is a good way to start over again; which I hope will start the cycle of rereading the poems again.

Pangea's Notion pt 4 of 5

Water

Hidden ambition,
Like ever-flowing water,
Will flood or channel.

Too much of ambition leads to greed, just enough creates motivation.

Pangea's Notion pt 3 of 5

Earth

A good foundation,
Is where morals are grounded,
Deep roots stand taller.

It was a bit more difficult following the schematics of keeping it 5,7,5

Pangea's Notion pt 2 of 5

Air

Can't see but exists,
Faith is always there, have hope,
Then you'll find answers.

This is my first attempt in Haiku, I wanted to venture out of free verse.

Pangea's Notion (Haiku Set 1 of 5)

Nature

Natural elements,
Are god's lessons to explore,
Seek and you will find.

I decide to name this set of Haikus "Pangea's Notion" because I could not think of any bigger recollection than the super continental itself, and it captures it perfectly with notion; which is a good way alternative to express it as a philosophy without using the word philosophy. It's uniquely different so that's my thought.
