A couple of poems in fact...not sure what you think

Loved Ones

Too long it seems since your goodbyes,
when resignation dried these eyes,
too long that hearts had borne your loss,
and headstones hid sad prayers in moss;
too long that hope had searched in vain,
through silent graveyards and soft rain,
too late to speak love's final word,
that was in life but rarely heard;
and yet too soon our parting came,
when snuffed out like a dying flame,
this heedless world your spirit fled,
and left too many words unsaid.

Bleak Hills

See our hopes stripped bare like trees in winter,
sense the truth give up what was ours to dream,
'til with discontent our love would splinter,
sad hearts fragmented and ripped at the seam;
for the bitter pilgrim that was our love,
strayed and was lost among the stony ways,
and waning like the moon's pale glow above,
grows dimmer within life's labyrinth maze;
and yet some bridges are best left uncrossed,
when the ghosts of the valleys call us home,
some loves better spurned than in pain be lost,
on bleak hills when our memories have flown.
 
Hi, I'm new here, just registered today. I just wanted to say that I love the new U2 album. Yes it's a return to their earlier style, but it's very good. I also appreciated their albums that were more adventurous, like Zooropa and Pop. How can you not like Mofo? I'm glad they have the guts to try different things and not make the same album over and over like so many bands. I've only seen U2 live one time in 1993 and would love to see them again this time around, but judging from the difficulties many fans had just getting tickets (IF they were lucky enough to get some at all) it looks like this might not be happening. I tried to join U2.com, but it would never accept any of the usernames I put in and emails for advice were never answered. I live in Virginia, US, and hope they'll come to Hampton Roads on the third leg of their tour.
