"repell" poems
Obscurest night involv'd the sky, Th' Atlantic billows roar'd, When such a destin'd wretch as I, Wash'd headlong from on board, Of friends, of hope, of all bereft, His floating home for ever left. No braver chief could Albion boast Than he with whom he went, Nor ever ship left Albion's coast, With warmer wishes sent. He lov'd them both, but both in vain, Nor him beheld, nor her again. Not long beneath the whelming brine, Expert to swim, he lay; Nor soon he felt his strength decline, Or courage die away; But wag'd with death a lasting strife, Supported by despair of life. He shouted: nor his friends had fail'd To check the vessel's course, But so the furious blast prevail'd, That, pitiless perforce, They left their outcast mate behind, And scudded still before the wind. Some succour yet they could afford; And, such as storms allow, The cask, the coop, the floated cord, Delay'd not to bestow. But he (they knew) nor ship, nor shore, Whate'er they gave, should visit more. Nor, cruel as it seem'd, could he Their haste himself condemn, Aware that flight, in such a sea, Alone could rescue them; Yet bitter felt it still to die Deserted, and his friends so nigh. He long survives, who lives an hour In ocean, self-upheld; And so long he, with unspent pow'r, His destiny repell'd; And ever, as the minutes flew, Entreated help, or cried--Adieu! At length, his transient respite past, His comrades, who before Had heard his voice in ev'ry blast, Could catch the sound no more. For then, by toil subdued, he drank The stifling wave, and then he sank. No poet wept him: but the page Of narrative sincere; Is wet with Anson's tear. And tears by bards or heroes shed Alike immortalize the dead. I therefore purpose not, or dream, Descanting on his fate, To give the melancholy theme A more enduring date: But misery still delights to trace No voice divine the storm allay'd, No light propitious shone; When, snatch'd from all effectual aid, We perish'd, each alone: But I beneath a rougher sea, And whelm'd in deeper gulfs than he.

Sorry I can't say anything..... Sorry I can't say anything..... Uptill now I think about you are only mine But after listening your new theory. Sorry I can't say anything... Please atom attach me with you with the help of your covalent bond. Please can't energies with your friends(electron) and your mind(nucleus) and repell me in your outermost orbit Only you are my hydrogen and I am your single electron Please you not make yourself as helium lithium or any other Only remain hydrogen for my whole life.... After somedays we make our dutarium and tritium and enjoying our joyful life Please you can't try to stable... Please remain unstable as my hydrogen forever..... Sorry I can't say anything..... Sorry I can't say anything.....

Can't say anything.....
Isn't it compelling how poems can affect us so emotionally? I mean sure a picture says more than a thousand words but watching television only tells us a certain vision. On the other hand contracting letters must always be spelled right or else there's nothing left to make sense. I refuse to sign a contract to make cents, although I wouldn't cross swords if the oppertunity presents itself. Maybe I am contradicting myself but crossing words is just a hobby to me, for now atleast. I do believe that spelling is like magic spells. We fuse words like a magnet, they either connect to our feelings or repell eachother. It's confusing sometimes when I get inspired beacasue I'm in spired to cast spells, yet I can only spell what I've been remotely controlled by the remotecontroll to my limited visions. I am afraid living. Have I Lived or have I liveD in reverse and learned to embrace the Devil?

shadows made by strangers claims daunt your mind and feed this game hollow out whats in a name its long since now we've been the same but ive always known how different we are i always saw through the door kept ajar how you slip in and out and in between but what you dont see is that I want you to be whatever you want your motive is never something that daunts my mind and the comparison of us is something I find curious most are so quick to scurry us into a lump of love and life but there comes a price and we are not a package deal we both feel in different ways we both write a different page and though we're close in time and age i know inside that where my sun rises yours does set and when I smile you secretly fret because two scales will always be unbalanced and with every action being challenged by eager spirits its tough to find a mutual center in and out we venture until we've seen enough of each other and learned but im glad i can see this while others cant offenses or sorrow felt i shant for i know the words your mind secretes i feel the things in your heart you keep and although I never probe or ask you to speak I wonder how it could ever be any other way because I dont think it could words shared between us are said but not truly understood and although we're tagged as really good friends i still dont like the spread of words about me or from me from your mouth because they will come out the wrong way and in reality thats okay my soul is here to stay just as yours is similar likes and interests doesnt mean Im trying to arrest your identity for we both are an entity on our own

Look at all of you. Drunk, out of your senses. Running along with impulse, Drowning in tears of sorrow. But from all of them, you repell me. You tease for a kiss, in such state. You triggered something in me. Not love; thats fake; this isnt! The rage, the anger, the thirst. Thirst for your suffering. You pushed my boundaries. Boundaries I never knew I could break. But I am guilty? You contradict yourself! You want a future, yet want to die. Saying that others must deal with their **** Why dont you? Youre as sad and foolish as them. You wanted to be someones muse. There you go. My writing is for you. My rage is for you. Things have changed, Perspectives altered. The tide has turned; But not in your favour.

You Repell Me
how can they make such rigid stuff from soft wools, take the thing then harden it. they say it will last a lifetime, hold its own. tradition. looks as if it would hold the rain out, repell the scattered words of cold, and evil. a coat so heavy it dragged us down. there was crocheting yesterday, with blue and softer yarn, a small ply. a gentle thing, a memory. sbm.

soft wool
So often i feel the words on my tongue and you can taste them when you kiss me you know they exist on my brain So often we manipulate and distort our paragraghs to ensure those words protection but we know silently we stare at dim lights and we smile like overused expressions we test our limits making sure not to repell eachother away And we love it we hide that word combination amoungst dizzy and scattered body language thrown into dust We fear unknown implications of the destructive beauty caused by the words " i love you "

How was your thanksgiving? Was it the same as it was? Did the people round you Seem the same as your default? Was it somewhat different? Did you repell Or were repelled? Is there an opening leading down to worse than hell? Can youse hug it out? Can youse talk ? And ring the bell Of the bell that can still Can ring Or will youse slowly go to Hell?
