HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY!

'A year ago I was sat behind this screen (well actually of an older laptop), and decided that I wanted to take poetry much more seriously, I'd already gone through the process of starting up ToniVerse, but i wanted there to be more of it. I wanted the VERSE aspect of this 'brand' to stand out. So like I sat down after my exams and well I typed.

A year and 39 posts later, ToniVerse still lives and all that's changed...  well nothing. I mean I've grown/developed/expanded over the year, but I am still me, and ToniVerse still represents the other side of sanity and I am still a writer; a poet. 

I'd like to thank you guys that have visited at least on a monthly basis and that. I will not lie, I did not expect to have nearly 2000 views (as of when writing this) in a year, in all honesty, I didn't even think I'd get up to 10% of that, but hey... I guess I'm doing something right?

I don't wanna ramble on any longer, but yeah... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TONIVERSE!!!!!!!!!! 

(Unfortunately this is the peak period of my examinations so I don't have anything prepared for you guys, but I promise something before the end of the month guys) 

LOVE TO YOU ALL!

That feeling Part 1

Sensational feel when I hear you come around.
I get weak by the thought of your presence.
Then I inhale your scent and I am whisked away,
to a land where my imagination alone knows.

You glance in this direction;
Leaving me merciless at the stare of your eyes
And as I stare in response with my mind long adrift,
You smirk at my odd looking ways.

The edge of your mouth raises ever so slightly,
But your teeth somewhat glimmer through,
the tiny gap between your separated lips,
the lips so esculent and inviting.

Control yourself' My mind tells me.

But then, then you speak.
You utter your words, yet you bellow.
Your voice so melodically deep.
It rings in my head repeatedly,
Usurping my thoughts by command.

O ye stranger, who hath walketh into my life.
I find myself in awe of your being.
You are beautiful yet masculine
Extremely attractive.

You leave.
I'm left with a memory alone.

Solution point.

I want to cry but there no tears to fall
For this pain goes deeper than earth.
I am burned by no heat and drowned on dry land
The situation is one which only you understand
The cause of my pain is also the solution.

Openmindedness

Remember that post I had about eight months ago about photography? It's where a lot of my viewers started paying an interest. (Here it is:EVERYONE is into photography) I'll admit it's definitly not my best piece, I mean I read it over and I cringe at the way I expressed my self, but I guess that's all part of maturity right? Being able to look back on yourself and see how you could've done things better.  I've grown a lot through this blog and I can see that through my new pieces up against the old ones I bring up for you guys, especially poetry. In fact in terms of poetry I've grown a lot. I haven't had time for just pure writing, which is what I started with initially. At one point I did want to keep this all about poetry, but I also thought to express my mind in a non-poetic manner as well. 

Paradigm Shift

Been so sleep deprived lately I haven't even paid sufficient attention to my darling blog. :(
This month we've done particularly well in terms of audience and I thank you all for being consistent in viewing and all that.

I must confess, I'm a bit blank on words, simply because my brain is too tired to function, so here's an old poem for those of you who are new to this. Feel free to check out other posts, and remember, feedback is VITAL! Lemme know your thoughts on my work. I only want to get better.
