"The only true love I ever knew
was behind those downcast eyes.
The only comfort I ever felt
was during those long hours of loneliness
when I felt for you
I do believe
Only Innocence can save the world

- Ocean Soul - -Tuomas Holopainen



10/20/07 The Palladium in Worcester Massachusetts: Nightwish Live!

Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band and is by far my favorite band. I can relate to all of their songs and find deep meaning in every single one of them. Most of their songs are in English with a couple in Finnish, it does not matter to me what language they are in since they are all beautiful. Tuomas is definitely the best poet I know of, I hope someday I can write as well as he.

Erämaan Viimeinen by Nightwish

Nukkuu korpi, ja nyt, aatoksissain minä matkaa teen
Yli metsien, uinuvan veen
Kuutar taivaan yön valaisee
Maalaa maiseman, pohjoisen siimeksen

Unta onko tää,
Vai kuolema jossa palata sinne saan missä
hiillos jo luovuttaa lumen alla
Kun astun maailmaan, erämaan aikaan

Ensilumi satoi kahdesti
Maalasi sieluni taulun

Tää jylhä kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyys
Lapsuuteni metsän, taivaan
Kaikuu se haikeus halki tän matkan
Aamun tullen yö tarinansa kertoo
Jylhä on kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyyteni
Sitä henkeensä halajaa
Kehtoni hauta, hautani paikka
Erämaan viimeinen on

Minne katosivat muut
Suon noidat, neidontornit
Ja varjoissa havisevat puut
Kielon istutin ikihankeen
Ja hiljaisuuden tultua luotin tulevaan

Ensilumi satoi kahdesti
Maalasi sieluni taulun

Tää jylhä kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyys
Lapsuuteni metsän, taivaan
Kaikuu se haikeus halki tän matkan
Aamun tullen yö tarinansa kertoo
Jylhä on kauneus ja ääretön yksinäisyyteni
Sitä henkeensä halajaa
Kehtoni hauta, hautani paikka
Erämaan viimeinen on

English Translation:

Wilderness sleeps and I travel in my thoughts
over the woods and sleeping water
Lady Moon lights the sky
Paints the world in shade of north

Is this dream?
Or death where I want to return to place
where embers are giving up hope under the snow
As I step into the world, the time of wilderness

First snow fell twice
Painted the painting of my soul

This bold beauty and infinite loneliness
Of my childhood forest and sky
That beauty echoes through this journey
As the morning dawns, night tells it's story

Bold is beauty and my infinite loneliness
That's what man longs for his soul
The grave of my cradle, the place of my grave
is the last one in the wilderness

Where did the others go?
Swampwitches and towers of the maiden
and the coniferous trees in the shadows
I planted a lily of the valley into eversnow
And as the silence came, I relyed on the future

Six humans trapped by happenstance
In bleak and bitter cold;
Each one possessed a stick of wood,
Or so the story’s told.

Their dying fire in need of logs,
The first woman held hers back,
For on the faces ‘round the fire,
She noticed one was black.

The next man looking cross the way,
Saw one not of his church,
And couldn’t bring himself to give
The fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes;
He gave his coat a hitch.
Why should his log be put to use
To warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought
Of the wealth he had in store,
And how to keep what he had earned
From the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man’s face bespoke revenge
As the fire passed from sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood
Was a chance to spite the white.


And the last man of this forlorn group
Did naught except for gain;
Giving to those who gave to him
Was how he played the game.

The logs held in death’s still hands
Was proof of human sin;
They didn’t die from the cold without,
But from the cold within.

-George Kirby

Now about the oh so lovable me:

Well, about my poetry it is for the most part about love, although, on occasion I do enjoy writing humorous poetry. My poetry style varies I enjoy writing in both rhyme and free verse, I even write the occasional haiku. While I do write my poems for myself I would like to hear the opinions of others so that I may improve my work and of course I am happy to comment on others poetry if they want me to. Having discussed my poetry I should probably tell you a little bit about myself. Well the main thing to know about me is that I'm all about Love and believe once you fall in Love with someone you cant live without Love. Love is both irrational, illogical, and impossible to define and it is in my opinion the most important part of life. All I have ever wanted was and is to be with one woman for the rest of my life. . Unlike most men I never wanted to be with as many women as possible, I just want to be with one person forever. For all those who have been in Love they can never live happily without it again, at least I know I cannot but perhaps you are different. The only real solution to this is to if possible never fall in Love. Unless your willing to take the greatest risk in this world and fall in Love.


Girl: Do I ever cross your mind?


Boy: No


Girl: Do you like me?


Boy: Not really


Girl: Do you want me?


Boy: No


Girl: Would you cry if I left?


Boy: No


Girl: Would you live for me?


Boy: No


Girl: Would you do anything for me?


Boy: No


Girl: Choose--me or your life


Boy: my life

The girl runs away in shock and pain and the boy runs after her and says...

The reason you never cross my mind is because you're always on my mind.

The reason why I don't like you is because I love you.

The reason I don't want you is because I need you.

The reason I wouldn't cry if you left is because I would die if you left.

The reason I wouldn't live for you is because I would die for you.

The reason why I'm not willing to do anything for you is because I would do everything for you.

The reason I chose my life is because you ARE my life.

Six signs your falling for someone

1. - as soon as you get online-whose name do you look at first

2. - when you hear your phone ringing-who do u hope is calling

3. - when a love song comes on the radio-who's face comes to your mind

4. - who's name makes your heart skip a beat every time you hear it

5. - who is it that you always find yourself thinking about-wondering if they're thinking about you

6. - the whole time you were reading this bulletin, there was only 1 person on your mind.....


Repost this as "Six signs you're falling for someone"
within the five minutes and the one who you answered to those questions will realize how much they mean to you tonight



*A girl and guy were speeding, on a motorcycle, over 90 mph on the road..
Girl: Slow down. I’m scared.
Guy: No, this is fun.
Girl: No, it’s not. Please, it’s too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself? It’s bugging me.
(In the paper the next day)
A motorcycle crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn’t want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.
If you would ever do this for someone....then post this on your page asap!!!


Abortion is Wrong!!

Month One

Mommy, I am only eight inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby.



Month Two

Mommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.



Month Three

You know what Mommy, I'm a girl!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me.



Month Four

Mommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.



Month Five

You went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion?



Month Six

I can hear that doctor again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy!! HELP me!! No . . .




Month Seven

Mommy, I'm not okay. I'm dead, how could you be so mean? Why didn't you want me Mommy?



Every Abortion Is Just . . .
One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak. Take this and if you have a heart, place this on your page.



Girl: I'm always here for you
Boy: I know
Girl: What's wrong?
Boy: I like her so much
Girl: Talk to her
Boy: I don't know. She won't ever like me
Girl: Don't say that. You're amazing.
Boy: I just want her to know how I feel.
Girl: Then tell her.
Boy: She won't like me
Girl: How do you know that?
Boy: I can just tell
Girl: Well just tell her.
Boy: What should I say
Girl: Tell her how much you like her
Boy: I tell her that daily
Girl: what do you mean?
Boy: I'm always with her. I love her.
Girl: I know how you feel. I have the same problem. But he'll never like me
Boy: Wait. Who do you like?
Girl: Oh some boy
Boy: Oh... she won't like me either.
Girl: She does
Boy: How do you know..
Girl: Because, who wouldn't like you?
Boy: You
Girl: You're wrong, I love you.
Boy: I love you too.
Girl: So are you going to talk to her?
Boy: I just did.


Why boys and girls make out
Did you know that every night before you go to sleep there is one person of the opposite sex thinking of you? They want to kiss you, they want to be with you, they are always thinking about you, this is all true and not fake. If you repost this in 5 min the person that is longing to be with you will approach you within one month and ask you out or grab you and kiss you.

-PLEASE READ THIS-

My name is Sarah.
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen.
I cannot see,
I must be stupid.
I must be bad,
What else could have made
my daddy so mad?
I wish I were better.
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy would
still want to hug me.
I can't speak at all.
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
all the day long
When I awake I'm all alone
the house is dark
My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight!
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car.
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse
My name he calls.
I press myself
Against the wall.
I try and hide
From his evil eyes.
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain
Again and again.
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy murdered me.

2 hours later a friend of hers asks her to go for a drive ...she
goes.....

her friend swerved to avoid a truck....hitting a tree instead
her friend was killed instantly....shes in critical condition
This is the conversation between her sister and her boyfriend
Sister: omg ( crying )
Boy: what? whats wrong ?
Sister: my sister...your girlfriend was involved in a major car wreck
Boy: is she ok ? ?????
Sister: shes in critical condition
Boy: I'll be there in 10 minutes
He shows up to the hospital room ...standing outside the door
going over the last conversation in his mind over and over as he
heard the machines beep and beep and breathing tubes pump
Boy: she wanted to give me something or tell me something
Girls mom: yeah this...
it was an envelope smelling like she did sealed with a kiss in
lipstick
he opened it.....
it said ..... your everything to me....I love you with everything I
am
and everything I have...I want to spend the rest of my life with you
sealed in it was a ripped movie ticket from the first movie they
went to
and the first picture they took together
he kissed the picture as a tear fell from his face onto the picture
it looked as if in the picture she was crying
then the machines flat lined....3 minutes later she was pronounced
dead


If you have any heart...any soul...or want to be happy you will
repost this.
If you care for someone ...do not let something like this ever happen


80% of Americans say "I LOVE YOU".
20% actually mean it.

If you honestly are in the 20%, paste this into your
profile


If you'd walk 5,000 miles to spend 5 minutes with someone who you love, put this in your profile.


If you'd keep loving someone no matter what, even if they don't love you back, because you still love them, then add this to your profile.

If you'd give your life for your friend, put this in your profile.

I'm an extremely sensitive person and will do anything to help someone I care about. I'm generally very easygoing but if you push me to far I do not hold back and get even. I will one day rule the world and when you beg for mercy I shall consider it so it would be wise to get on my good side now. A display of me being pushed to far, I was always nice and everyone took advantage of that so I decided I would one day rule over the fools who had wronged me but if you personally have never upset me and need to talk I promise to listen and try to help because despite my anger at the world I do enjoy other people's happiness. Its probably hard to believe that seeing what I have just said about revenge but I am extremely emotional I Love and Hate with great passion and care for all people until they do something dishonorable whether to me or to someone else.

Let me see now what else can I say about myself? I'm a Christian with a strong belief in God because with all the suffering in my past I have been driven to Him for comfort believing that He's listening is the only thing that kept me alive because no one else listened to me or understood me. I know some people do not believe in God and if you are one of those people you need not fear that I will force my religion on you. I have strong beliefs but I do not force them on other people. Of course the most important thing to know about me which I said before is that I'm all about Love!

Did God Create Evil?

The university professor challenged his students with this question: "Did
God create everything that exists? "
A student bravely replied "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" the professor asked.
"Yes sir," the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil
since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who
we are, then God is evil."
The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students
that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.



Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question
professor?"
"Of course," replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist?"
The professor replied "Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"
The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the
laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of
heat.
Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy,
and heat is what makes a body, or matter, have or transmit energy. Absolute
zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat. Cold does not exist. We
have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.
The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir. Darkness does not exist
either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light, we can study,
but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light
into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You
cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of
darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is?
You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a
term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said.
We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man.
It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These
manifestations are nothing else but evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does
not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like
darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of
God.
God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does
not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when
there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."


The professor sat down.

Even though you can't see God, He is there...if you believe in God, put this in your profile.

My favorite poem:

The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


My favorite song:

Over the Hills and Far Away
By Nightwish

They came for him one winter’s night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there’d been a robbery,
His pistol had been found.

They marched to the station house,
He waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he’d been wronged.
“You stand accused of robbery,”
He heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow’s light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he’ll count the days.
Over the mountains and blue seas,
A prisoners life for him there’ll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say.
Where he’d been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms he swear he’ll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he’ll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in her arms is where he’ll be.

Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Over the mountains and the seas
back in her arms is where he’ll be.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the sea,
Back in his arms is where she’ll be.

Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
