Beyond - Legends Anakin/Tahiri poetry ~The Collection~ UPDATED 8/18 "Sleepwalking"

*pokes head in*

Is anybody here?

 

Yep - waiting, watching, wondering.

 

Hopefully a new poem will be up soon.

Er, problem, I haven't written it yet.

Any ideas?

 

Write a poem about Anakin and Tahiri!

 

Genius, Wes! You tell me to write a poem about Anakin/Tahri and here you are*-voila*-a poem!

You Were Not There


Drowning in unfamiliar emotions
I don?t know who is who to whom belong my devotions
It hard to decipher all the minds between
The indefinite invisible expanse that I?ve seen.
That I am.
I can?t define who I am or what
When I am myself feel an overwhelming darkness erupt
The other me is there, a powerfully concealed touch
One day I fear it will become too much-
For me to deal with; but I cannot surrender
Is there an outside judicial that impartial justice will render?
I was here in the beginning, I was here first
You were not there in brutal sands; quenching for thirst
You were not there when I made my first friend
When I was drowning in a river, were you there to defend?
No, you were nonexistent, absent, never a part of my life
And when you arrived and now you continue with strife
This body belongs to me, and it is rightfully mine
I?ll rid you of my being, so I can once again shine

It's like I'm some sort of psychic!


Hmm... I'm not sure that I'm getting the Anakin/Tahiri connections, I assume it's from Tahiri's POV about Anakin's death though? Maybe? He did help her from drowning in a river and was her first friend though, so I'm not sure

Anyway, this is a very beautiful poem, JOD, filled with great imagery and I loved the flow

It hard to decipher all the minds between
The indefinite invisible expanse that I?ve seen.

I like this line so much I want to put it in my sig!

This body belongs to me, and it is rightfully mine
I?ll rid you of my being, so I can once again shine

Again, I'm not sure of the Anakin/Tahiri implications here (maybe Tahiri/Riina? ) but I really liked this thought.

Really great poem, Lauren. You continue to impress

 

Yeah, I guess it was misleading, saying it was Anakin/Tahiri. Whoops. Actually, you're right. It's Tahiri/Riina. I have another Tahiri/Riina one that I'm working on. How Tahiri deals with her shaping and whatnot.

Hey, at least I got half of the pair, huh? I can't really get in an Anakin mindset right now.

But I'm glad you liked it, though you probably were really confused thinkin it was A/T!

It's like I'm some sort of psychic!

No kidding!

Up!

Wow. I loved those lines - especially the "brutal sands". I liked the way you tied in Tahiri's history.

I can feel the anger and frustration, as well as the desolation in her voice. Well done.

Oh yeah, Tahi, have you submitted your Ton/Face poem to the archives yet? I really like it.

It was still good

No one can, really

But I'm glad you liked it, though you probably were really confused thinkin it was A/T!

A little, but I guessed that it was Tahiri/Riina so I figured you'd just misinformed us, or were intentionally testing us But look on the bright side, it was so good I could still tell who it was really about

 

The poetry's back!!!

Brilliant as always, JOD!

Did I see a hint of Anakin Skywalker in the Yavin one?

Wish I could say more; I'm not much of a critic.

 

Hey Whitey! How's driving going? Hit anything yet? lol Just joking.

Thanks.

Um, not intentionally. But everyone sees something different, I guess.

Hey, I'm just glad you replied. It doesn't take much to keep me happy. You should see me when I get lots of replies...I'm like, somene actually thought this load of bantha fodder was good! lol

Mojo likes the new poems too.

 

Well then, Mojo, I wrote this one just for you.

Complete

BY: JoD


Never imagine, can scarcely believe
I?ve melded into one; a whole complete being
Realization dawns, like a fiery sun rising
Coming in from the dark, out from hiding
what once was two halves are now whole
I am complete though I never anticipated this, my goal
I tried to purge her, made every attempt to kill
But the tempest is now over, the waters calm and still
Guilty feelings pass by; I did not give that kiss
I was scared and lonely and that reaction provoked all this
I?m longer disgusted that the skin I?m in feels used
That I was violated and dirty, I?ve slashed apart those views
I still have emotions that provoke new thought and fears
Though I can finally function as a person with unique ideas
I loved him and I hated him for the things he tried to do
For those same reasons I will miss him as my life I muddle through
He was the catalyst by which I was preserved from a distorted fate
And he?s the prominent reason why I shy away from hate
Like a holo-locket His memory will rest; never in defeat
For loving me and befriending me and making me complete



***

Hope you liked it Mojo. Have a banana.

 

Well, no need to guess what this one was about

I tried to purge her, made every attempt to kill
But the tempest is now over, the waters calm and still

I thought that was really beautiful.

And of course the end:

I loved him and I hated him for the things he tried to do

For loving me and befriending me and making me complete

Wow The memory of Anakin bringing her two sides together so she can be whole... I really liked this poem, JOD. It has a lot of depth and the language is fantastic. Having Tahiri find some peace because of Anakin was brilliant, and I wish they went more that direction with the FH books... while I'm wishing for things though...

Superb, as usual Mojo gave it two bananas up!

 

Well, no need to guess what this one was about

Glad we resolved our issues.

Thanks, Wes.

and I wish they went more that direction with the FH books... while I'm wishing for things though...

You and me both.

Superb, as usual Mojo gave it two bananas up!

High praise, indeed.

 

Come on Mojo - give her the whole bunch.

That's a beautiful poem. I like the way it becomes less tentative and more confident - the voice matching the meaning. Yes the imge of the waters becoming still is lovely. And the way you keep her thoughts of Anakin as the fulcrum is excellent. Those last two poems make a great pair - you could set them up as a mini-sequence.

No I haven't sent the Ton/Face poem in yet. I haven't quite finished editing it. Xaara and LianaMara gave me some useful comments and I'm working on incorporating their suggestions.

 

Come on Mojo - give her the whole bunch.

C'mon, Mojo. Pretty please?

Thanks Tahi. I actually wrote them at the same time. I finished one and dived straight into the next. I love the days when writing comes easily. My fic on the other hand...that's a different story.

Let me know when yo've finished editing. I visit the archives every now and then to look for anything new. It would be great to see yours added to the others. Everything I've ever read there have been excellent reads.

 

Come on Mojo - give her the whole bunch.
C'mon, Mojo. Pretty please?

Hey, Mojo just doesn't dole those things out like candy. If you want more, write another poem

 

Er, Wes, was that a threat? Cuz if it was you better tread carefully. Never know when my alter ego DarkLadyDestiny might decide to Force fry you.

Just give me the bananas, Mojo, and get up that tree, quick.

 

*steals bananas from Mojo and gives them to Destiny*

They're well deserved.

Though I must say: This poem just makes me hate the NJO even more.

 

Thank you, Whitey, for both the praise and the bananas.

Your welcome. if I can help enough people hate the NJO, maybe in the next book we can have Jacen wake up. Like it was one, long, horrible nightmare. IS that a good idea?

 

JoD: Er, Wes, was that a threat? Cuz if it was you better tread carefully. Never know when my alter ego DarkLadyDestiny might decide to Force fry you.

I wasn't threatening you... bribing you with bananas maybe And now that I have a nice Anakin Skywalker icon, you really don't scare me

Well... maybe a little

Just give me the bananas, Mojo, and get up that tree, quick.

Shows what you know. Mojo is too fat and out of shape to climb trees now. When he's not reading and typing for me, he sleeps on the couch.



However, Mojo does feel bad about this whole banana thing, so he decided to give you a dancing banana:

Hope you like it

So it's going to be "who shot J.R?" or in this case "Anakin?"

 

Ai! That were some awesome poems you've written! I enjoyed reading them very much. I can see that you're improving yourself also! Don't stop writing
