Poetry & Tales

I enjoy various kinds of poems, but I have a strange way of writing them, as to me it’s more the rhythm and tone that dictates the poetry, not the letters you see. For me there has to be a melody, and it’s not always so that I find it in rhyming. Short tales can be as poetic as any poem, and I’m pretty sure that it’s the feeling when reading that counts. That feeling takes you farther, beyond techniques and rules about lining up words printed on paper. That feeling is yours; you interpret the sound and that final touch of recognition. Somewhere along that path of discovery, you and I will meet.     Tip! By clicking a blog entry image you will go there.

Life is strange: there are so many questions—two of the very basic ones being about how life once started and about gender. What’s confusing are not the questions themselves—it’s all their varied answers. But life may not have emerged out of chaos, and gender was there from the beginning, without any questions ever being asked. If we do ask, the only answer ever needed is: We all are Children of the Universe. Behind Waves Waves:  First published November 20, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in March, 2008. Happiness—this is an internal feeling we know very little about. Happy, who me? How do I know who “me” even is? If we’re not born happy, how can life change? And what about love?... What is life—is there a future? Me:  First published November 21, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in August, 2003. The first touch you receive as a newborn child is the most important sign of love and affection there is. If that first touch is addressed wrongly, what kind of life will you have? Regarding my book Behind Waves and this poem “Me,” I thought I’d give you some more insight beyond what I discuss in the book and here previously. What kind of life will you have?—as the introduction of the poem expresses—is not a question there to be answered; instead it’s a question to understand. Turning:  First published November 27, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in January, 2004. Based on gender others make decisions for us, providing us with limited options to live by. What happens if your gender is perceived wrongly? Is life possible? Colors:  First published November 28, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in November, 2003. Based on gender others make decisions for us, providing us with limited options to live by. What happens if your gender is perceived wrongly If, once in a while, we let our hearts move freely to reveal who we are, wouldn’t we all be much happier? A true touch between two happy people whose hearts rule—isn’t that what love is all about? Without colors, can there be life? Awakening:  First published December 4, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Occasionally we feel that something is wrong inside us, but we can’t tell what. Learning the language of our bodies and following our inner feelings: Isn’t that what life is about? Bonds:  First published December 5, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Beyond the barrier of worldly things, we find the happiness we’ve been searching for—it’s when we meet others that the search finally ends. Happiness reveals itself when we’re true to ourselves; happiness lasts when we share it. True feelings: that is life! Reunion:  First published December 11, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. You decide what your references are, and be open to new possibilities and directions. You don’t have to lead, but it’s you and no one else who should choose your leader. It takes courage to live! Belonging:  First published December 12, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Rarely do we consider what “me” really means—the many parts that comprise the concept of “me.” A basic question most of us ask ourselves but never really find an answer to is: Can life change? Looks:  First published December 18, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Our dreams are much closer than we think. If we approach that magic mirror and look right through our own reflection: Will life change? Facing:  First published December 19, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Lies have a tendency to close us in and trap us, like a prison. Facing the truth is the only key to freedom and peace in both body and soul: From within, life emerges! Consideration:  First published December 25, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Rarely does it occur to us to search for happiness inside ourselves. If, instead of possessions, we look for and nurse all those small values in life that are free, and we make them grow: How will life be? Telling:  First published December 26, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. Written words can be like rules we acknowledge and yet still choose not to follow. Even then, that hand that brought the original message will be there for us to grab and follow: Where can life be found? Light:  First published January 1, 2011 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. The light of hope has other ways of emerging than just from afar. By showing, revealing our true selves, we carry light with us wherever we go, letting others find their way to us. Happiness makes life worth living! Home:  First published January 2, 2011 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in July, 2004. As individuals we need to find ourselves; we need to come home. In relationships we need to reveal ourselves; we need to come out. Inviting people into our hearts will take us home. Being welcomed by people, we find home everywhere. Love occurs when we share life! Horizons Where Horizons Meet:  First published November 18, 2010 by Li Sam © Li Sam; originally written by Li Sam in August, 2007.
