Special Happy 16th Birthday to Gregory Wells Porter. I have a Keeper of the Wind for you next time we meet. - Akaryu Food For Thought #8 - Me Interesting title hm? I suppose there things about me I wish the world knew, and here's one of them. Alot of friends that I have, most ask me why I do what I do. Why I'm so nice and why I go way out of the way for someone, even if its something very insignificant. Very few know exactly why I do things. And of those few, a few of them only know down to the detail when it comes to this person or that person. But I have been able to clearly sum it up for myself and others. Human beings, are a selfish group of beings. All we ever do is want. Very pessimistic eh? But as long as we are human, we are going to be selfish. And when is selfish, sometimes, another human is hurt as well. My selfish acts can sometimes cause grief and pain, even to the people who I love dearly and treasure the most. So how does one, not be selfish? One cannot be selfish for he is human. But one can always choose to do the opposite. Although he will always be selfish (for he is human), being generous is a human capablity as well. So my selfish acts have caused pain at times and I wish to repent for them. And in response to your site (water), we human beings were put on this earth, for reasons I do not know. But I do know that we were all put on this earth, regardless of the fact that we can hurt others, because we are all capable of that. I have myself sat my own computer and wondered why I was still here (back in the day). And I came to this conclusion: I help others because its the opposite of being selfish, and I can't hurt them if I'm helping them. So in repentance to my humanly selfishness, I choose to help those I love. To those who own a blog or any other sort of online webpage dealie, I wish to encourage you to do what I just did, tell something about yourself to the world. If you do not have a blog or the like, e-mail me and I will post it on your behalf. I hope my advice reaches out to those that need it, and to those that need it, I hope you utilize it. I like to think of it as passing down my wisdom so when I pass away, I won't have truly left the world. - Akaryu Perfectly Safe I was perfectly safe from all the world's harms, With my walls of defense to save me from the pain that could possibly come from being held in your arms. Living behind shields that deflected your charms: charms that could bruise me. My defenses didn't wane, And I kept myself safe from your love's harms. I never needed to notice those alarms, (that signaled emotions beginning to strain at the mere thought of being held in your arms) No need to notice since my feelings, when beginning to warm, Could be trapped behind my walls, neatly contained. I could still stay safe from love's unknown harms. But just as my heart, skipping beats, did warn, A glance from your laughing eyes just made me insane, And I craved, I longed to be held in your arms. My walls, my defenses went tumbling. (Darn!) Scattered in broken shards, my safety was lain, But I don't need to be so perfectly safe from all harms... That is... as long as I can wake up to be held in your arms. - Aeri Hmm, nothing new today. Although, it rained in a weird way. No drizzle, yet the drops where quite large. Also, I saw lightning ^__^. I would like to thank the following Foreign Verse authors: Wells Midoriryu and also my newest guest: Aeri If anyone remembers correctly, Aeri helped me by hosting a little project of mine. She hosted Poetry: A Drama in 4 Acts. Now she's making her first guest appearance with her poem: Perfectly Safe - Akaryu (Added at 2:45) It's now 2:45 and for the last 15 mins, I have sat outside in the rain. I feel some what cleansed and for that 15 mins, I have been relaxed. I was relaxed for the first time since...well one monday ago. Too bad the rain comes ever so often... how ironic, rain is water...But alas, tonight I will sleep peaceful for I shall sleep to the sound of rain and thunder ^__^. . |
