Hey Guys!

     I have another poem for y'all-enjoi!   

Like a Couple in Love

I’m not quite certain whether it was the way he smiled at me
Or the way we flattered each other the whole time
But that night, I fell even harder for him
He seemed to have changed somehow, in a good way though
A picture of us was taken
Before he had to leave
We looked beautiful together
Like a couple in love


Comments: This one was inspired by the night I celebrated my 17th birthday; the guy I'm in love with came, so I attempted to capture my feelings=) It was so wonderful that I had a hard time doing so.

Love,
Yukino

Yukino,

As usual, such beautiful work from you!  Have you ever thought of publishing your works? 

Hugs,
Prissy

[yukino]

Thank you Prissy! Your praise always inspires me to write more poetry =) Yes, I would love to publish my works someday! Here's another poem everyone!

Let's

Let's squeeze each other a little tighter
Let's hold hands as we're strolling along
Let's Eskimo kiss
Until I get the hang of real kissing
How about one-on-one lessons?
Let's drive to the beach
Frolic in the sea
And have fish n' chips
Let's go to a movie
Let's get an ice cream afterwards
It doesn't matter to me
I just want to be around you
Let's fall in love

Comments: This one is about the same guy as "Like a Couple in Love" Ok, his name is Jonathan Pyo and I LOVE HIM! There, he's no longer "that guy I like" -lol! Anyway, it's not quite as pretty as my other poems, but its pretty cute =)

xoxoxo,

Yukino,

I always love your poems!!  I wish others would drop in here, too!  It's lonely in the poet's corner!!

But keep up the good work!

Hugs,
Prissy

[yukino]

Thanks Prissy, that makes me feel much better =) I have another poem-yay!

Just You, Me, and Our Love

We were sitting on the grass
Just you and me
It seemed like there were no other humans in existence
No one else mattered
Nothing else mattered
We just sat in silence
For a few moments
Then you put your arm around me
And began to indirectly and nervously (in a cute way)
Tell me that you love me
I blushed as red as a ripe strawberry and said "I love you too"
But alas, it was only a wonderful dream

Comments: This one took me about 2 minutes to do- pretty awesome-eh? and it's for Jonathan Pyo (my future hubby-hee hee)

xoxoxo,
Yukino

Yukino!   

You're extraordinary!

I will admit that while I don't dislike poetry, I'm not really a big poetry fan either.  There have been a few poems that have inspired strong, passionate feelings in me, but usually they don't affect me as much as stories, novels or music do.

Your poems are different, however.

They're exhuberant!  You're coming of age, falling in love, parts of your body and mind are awakening and you seem to be seeing the world with new eyes.  And it's coming through in your poems.

I read Just You, Me, and Our Love, and my heart started to beat a little faster, and I felt a grin spread across my face.  I can remember being at that stage of love, when it's so new and everything is a rush, and the poem brought those memories back for me.

And then when I read Let's - I could feel your love of life.  The kind of love for everything that comes when your heart is bursting because you're in love, and you're being loved in return.    It just makes you want to go out and live every moment..  It seems like you're feeling this way, and I could FEEL it.

I actually laughed aloud at this part:

Let's Eskimo kiss
Until I get the hang of real kissing
How about one-on-one lessons?

Very flirty and joyful, very charming.

I've been very sick for several weeks, but reading your works made me forget for a bit.  It made me feel young and vibrant, like you.  Thanks so much for sharing!

I look forward to reading more.

Hugs,
LadyC

[yukino]

Lady C,

     Thank you sooooooo much for your wonderful feedback =) Yes, I am very much in love and very happy because of that =) That love isn't requitted (yet), so I base my poems on dreams I have and such. Someday!  Thanks again!  I will keep writing, don't worry!

xoxoxo,
Yukino

[claytonsmyccf]

  haven't been here for a looong time. Haven't written anything in a long time too

yukino great stuff as always

Have to pop in here more... later

[claytonsmyccf]

  I'm back so soon ... This is something I just wrote. Was sorta strange since I didn't think I had anything. Apparently I had a lot of "anything". 

Background: Yes, it's Clay in it I figured at the end that it was really all on the cd release and all the thoughts and feeling I had towards what others have been saying that I didn't knew I held still... oh and to be sure on one thing, I'm not going anywhere

Lost
I don't want to come back

Imagine
Never do I want to
The thought of her with you

Losing
Losing you forever
She'll have you and their will be

No more
No more of what I love so
Forever lost deep down in places unknown

Love
What I once thought I knew

No longer
Not sure this is what I ever felt
If this is what I want
What I need

Pretending
Maybe this was a dream
Something I can forget about immediately
Wipe clear from my mind

Tomorrow
I may not be here
Here waiting no more
Like so many

Others
Others who left
Who quit
Who think about you no more
Who's had it and want to forget you
Who have no more faith in what you do
In what you say

In when you'll finally be back...
Back with us

Nice work Claytonsmyccf =) New poem peoples! 

Writer’s Block

I’ve been trying to write
The perfect love poem for you
But the words won’t reach my lined paper
You’re sweet, intelligent, funny, quirky and so cute
Those are mere adjectives
Adjectives aren’t worthy of you my darling
I wish I could express how you make me feel
All I can manage is:
Me encanto tu, sa rang hae, I love you


Comments: This came to me when I was in the bathroom, believe or not-hee hee =) It's so-so, compared to my other work, but cute anyway and it's for Mr. Pyo  My love!

xoxoxo,
Yukino

[Prissy]

Kimmy,

 It's good to see you here posting.  I really liked your poem!!

Yukino,

Always glad to see your poems, but the blue print is a little hard to see on this dark background;  maybe a lighter color? 

Hugs to you both,
Prissy

[yukino]

Hellooooo =)

   Same thing as last time, but in a different color, as requested.

Writer’s Block

I’ve been trying to write
The perfect love poem for you
But the words won’t reach my lined paper
You’re sweet, intelligent, funny, quirky and so cute
Those are mere adjectives
Adjectives aren’t worthy of you my darling
I wish I could express how you make me feel
All I can manage is:
Me encanto tu, sa rang hae, I love you


Comments: This came to me when I was in the bathroom, believe or not-hee hee =) It's so-so, compared to my other work, but cute anyway and it's for Mr. Pyo    My love! By the way, Sa rang hae and Me encanto tu mean "I love you," so the last line is "I love you, I love you, I love you."

xoxoxo,
Yukino

New Poem! It's a bit...unique I guess you can say, but tell me what you guys think =) I need help thinking of a title as well. If any of you are Spongebob fans you'll understand it better-hee hee =)Thank you!

I long to see your smiling, brown-eyed face
You have the cutest grin I have ever seen
I long to stroke your soft, dark hair
Like I used to all the time
I really need one of your hugs by the way
They’re the best!
And I miss our cheesy conversations about Spongebob,
Living in a pineapple (or under a rock) in the sea
We could be neighbors
And go jellyfishing all the time,
Get a Krabby Patty later
Maybe go up to makeout reef
Wink wink

xoxoxo,
Yukino

[claytonsmyccf]

love it! (hehe Spongebob fan)  I think most will undertsand it if there not too! Not sure for a title though

[yukino]

Thank you =)

Kimmy - I enjoyed your poem.  I think a lot of people feel similar feelings about Clay and his disappearance from our sight.  Deeply personal feelings, like the ones that come through in your poem.  Abandonment, loss, lonliness, even betrayal.  We become so drawn into their lives as fans while they're on American Idol and even after while they're first getting their career kicked off that we get used to being involved and updated in everything.

This line says a lot to me:

No more
No more of what I love so
Forever lost deep down in places unknown

Because being a Clay fan is about so much more than liking his music and buying his CDs.  This board, for example.  Losing Clay would mean losses of so many kinds.  Hobbies, friendships, chosen families, support systems ... lost in places unknown definitely describes how I would feel if my Clay world were taken from me.

Being a Clay fan brings you so much more than just Clay and his music.  He's a representation of an entire slice of our lives.

So when he disappeared for a while, it was hard.  You did a beautiful job of expressing that.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yukino - You know I'm a big fan, girl!  I love how Writer's Block came to you in the bathroom!     Inspiration strikes at the strangest times.  And usually when we're least equipped to accomidate it.

I used to get ideas for my novel characters during a bloody trauma while I was doing CPR or drawing a blood gas.  Or I get them while I'm lying in an MRI scan and can't move.     I often get them at 4:00 in the morning and they nag me until I get up, turn on my laptop, and write them out.

I enjoyed both of your poems.  What does "Me encanto tu, sa rang hae" mean?  You are so clearly in love with this person.  Such a fun love, the way it comes out in your words. 

My favorite line in this one is: Adjectives aren’t worthy of you my darling

I feel that way about people often and you summed it up for me.

As for the second poem, it's clearly about things you like, things that make you feel good ... sweet things.  Hugs, companionship, a silly TV show that you can laugh about with a friend, brown eyes and dark hair, the excitement of maybe making out, the flirting ... you know, yumminess.

Perhaps a good title would be Induldgences: Conversations and Krabby Patties

 

And speaking of Sponge Bob, my kids call my hamburgers Krappy Patties.     Brats.

[yukino]

Thank you Lady C, you're the best =) I love the title! Sa rang hae means "I love you" in Korean and Me encanto tu means "I love you" in Spanish; I used Korean because it's Pyo's nationality and Spanish because we met in Spanish class =) Good thing I didn't take French! I have another poem, it's pretty cute...

“Hi”

My heart is beating sooo fast
Stay calm
I can do this
How does my hair look?
Guys don’t notice!
Do they?
Ok, enough about the hair
Stay calm
I look fine
Deep breath
In…Out…
He’s coming my way
Here’s my chance
“Hi”

xoxoxo,
Yukino

[yukino]

Another poem for Mr. Pyo =)

Only You

No one can make me feel the way he does
For he has possession of my heart
And I love him with all of it

Comments: This one is really short, kind of like Pyo-hahahaha =) It came to me in a hotel room I was staying in a couple weeks ago.

xoxoxo,
Yukino
