#meanings poems on Hello Poetry

Ralph Albors Jun 2015

Someday and one day
are implicitly dissimilar.

Because
"Someday I'll find love"
is full of ambivalent hope.
But
"One day I'll find love"
expresses certainty.

Because
"Someday I'll go on an adventure"
really means "I sure hope I get to travel."
But
"One day I'll go on an adventure"
implies "I will leave this town."

Because
"Someday I'll love someone else"
means "I'm not over my ex."
But
"One day I'll love someone else"
means "On to the next chapter."

Someday and one day
are commonly mistaken as equal.
But someday won't come,
while one day is just around the corner.

Inspired by some advice I gave my best friend over the phone.
So, basically, it's based on a true story. Sort of.

Growing Up

You know that you are growing up
When you realize that

"Be strong"
Really means,
"Don't bother me with your problems"

"It will be okay"
Really means,
"It will never be okay, but just tell yourself otherwise"

"I'm sure no one noticed"
Really means,
"Everyone noticed, but was too nice to mention it"

And that
"No one likes you"
Really means,
"Just leave us alone, nerd"

"You are so stupid"
Really means,
"You will never fit in"

And finally,
"Why are you even here?"
Really means,
"Just go **** yourself already."

Meanings

When people call me babe, darling or love
Without meaning
Without feeling
I feel like screaming
My heart feels like it’s bleeding
Don’t you know the meaning

My desire, my want
My only passion is to hear
Those words with love
**babe

I just want to say I dont know anything about Poetry unfortunately. So every time I write, I hope that it comes out alright. So i really appreciate it if you review it so I can work on my skills. Thank you for reading :)

Futile Words

Words pull your mind
In different directions
Brilliantly adorned
Yet lacking soul
Words are distractions
To true feelings
Vociferous and audible
Sounds too hollow
Gives in under anxiety
Weighs on minds
Graceful distortions
Veneer of meanings
Expresses everything
Except the truth

Contemplation

Tranquil dawn
Eases itself silently
Giving the night
Some respite
Morning meditation
Attracts the
Life’s forces
Towards you
A concentration
Of power
At the core
Of awareness
Bright glow
Ignites the passion
To realize
The origin
Life’s hidden secrets
Unravels slowly
As mind levitates
To a higher plane
Of consciousness

Banal Words

When words become banal
We would converse in silence
Heart to heart, a deeper impact
Feelings will reveal themselves
And emotions would flow freely
A peek into each other’s world
Welcomed without malicious words
Haven for conversation
Eyes would convey much
At the window of the soul
Ardent believers would understand
Let words become banal
And not hide behind a façade
Embrace each other with love
Build a synergy of known souls
Live this life with clarity

Matins

Up at the top of the acre
where the overflow stand-
pipe comes up
out of the grass,
there's so much running
water that reeds and rushes
have taken over
and choked up the land

In the evening
looking up to the window
as I wash
I see a family of roe deer, down
from the woods
in among the reeds

In the morning
they're still grazing there
quietly
as if nothing’s

changed

Hyperthermia

Can’t feel my hands
Or feet
Or anything

I don’t know if I’m stepping or not
My skin is as white as the snow
My body is shaking unwillingly

The cold wore off long ago
Just to be replaced by numbness
I feel as if my heart is freezing

Can’t walk anymore
Falling to my knees (if they are even there)
And I start to freeze more

Suddenly, warmth came
I wasn’t trapped in a frozen cage
The cold got lost;

But I lost something more

Just another poem about the cold. What a happy start to spring!

Eyes in the Sky

Vivid Blue Clear Skies
Clouds filling
Young eyes
Smooth hard rock
Every step is a knock
For adventure

Cloudy Grey Skies
Clouds Filling
Matured Eyes
Scratchy pavement beneath the feet
Battered beneath searing heat
Hints of old times

Clear quiet Empty skies
Clouds filling
Ancient eyes
Soft grass crunching
Alone peaceful
Closing eyes...

Golden Lovely Cloud filled skies
Clouds Filling
Reborn eyes
Soft ground
Love all around
Eyes Cast down

A Feeling

We always say a lot
And not feel satiated
Words leave us
Yet, more within us
Waiting their turn
To convey so much
Much anticipation
But, loses its meaning
Our cognizance
Not articulated adequately
If not words
Let’s try silence
Keeping our ears to the heart
Awaiting an understanding
Without the words
Echoing the profound feelings
