Cold - Original Poem

[Emmymae91]

Beautiful

[DawnBpoems]

i felt your emotion

[ralmaloca]

Too much selfloving, a bit arrogant, entelligant but manly boring and time waisting, poor you to my mind

[ohhrichie]

[ellyunfortunetly]

haha I love this. My friend had the same feeling when his parents went on holiday and left him alone for two weeks in their new house. Suddenly... you hear noises the house makes by itself. Like it's talking to itself.

[Magnulus]

New houses are kind of scary in themselves, really. So can houses you know, under the right circumstances. I was reading Stephen King's The Shining once when I was home alone one night... Then I remembered I had forgotten to lock the front door...

[dru7170]

creepy? pah. i found it a bit touching. =]

[Magnulus]

I -was- touching!

... myself.

Mmmmmmmmm.

[theishjort]

@Magnulus hahaha goood stuf man hahaha so funny

[yousuckhahadrugs]

Ugh, OK then. I'm gonna go. You're weird and creepy. Bye.

[Magnulus]

Awe, you're so cute when you're confused.

[yousuckhahadrugs]

Uhm, what? You're creeping me out. o_0

[Magnulus]

That's what SHE said!

[cplsinner]

That was beautiful man, you should write more, I bet you'd get tons more subscribers. I write sometimes.. But nothing like that, I suppose i's because mine are about loss and break ups.... (no I am NOT emo.) None the less, great poem.

[Magnulus]

Heheh, thanks. I guess I could do that, but then I'd get a bunch of poets and poem-loving people on my channel, and I have to say, poetry really isn't my kind of thing. I know it sounds weird coming from a guy who wrote a poem, but there ya go. I'm a bit strange. ^_^

[yousuckhahadrugs]

Are you in jail, or something?

[Magnulus]

That's entirely correct, and I really miss my bitch. He was such a gentle bitch. Now I'm going to have to prowl the showers for a new bitch. Damn.

[ellyunfortunetly]

hahahaha just for that comment you've posted Magnalus, which I've just read waiting for your video to load. I already am quite certain I need to subscribe to you. haha you've got a great way of dealing with haterz. *applauds*

[Magnulus]

Dey be hatin' on da playa, da playa be beatin' dem down, foo! ^_^ I'm a softie, really. Would you believe it?

[wisertym]

im creeped out

[Magnulus]

That's your prerogative.

[LanaB2]

Oh my god that's beautiful. I was transfixed haha even my cat was staring at me like "Whaaaaat?" U have nice eyes....

Great poetry, nice to see u being a little serious...well apart from the ending "peace and love" lmao

[Magnulus]

^_^ Thanks, I only write poetry when I feel it in my "heart", so it's nice that others like it as well.

[razellicious]

Had me scared for a minute. Intense poetry.

[Magnulus]

Awe, thanks! ^_^

[Spytrx]

good poem - identifiable

it helped that you explained the bit at the end of the vid, because for a break-up poem there were too few emotions like the ups and downs or contradictions between love and hate, want and not-want (if that makes sense)

wait till you have children and your wife and kids decide to visit your in-laws for the weekend -- now that is spooky :)

[Magnulus]

Heheheh.

Well, in terms of the emotions of ups and downs etc, it's impossible for any one poem to encompass ALL the aspects of a break-up, and instead of trying to include everything, focusing on one small part for a poem would be logical, especially considering the way we tend to cling to small, seemingly insignificant details when we're going through traumatic experiences.

[Spytrx]

I disagree - check your message box... ;)

[schofer]

omg that was honestly one of the best poems I have ever heard! Wow it was so good!

[Magnulus]

Awe, thanks! ^_^

[reverendgisher]

ah bullocks on the hair! nothing better than that bright shiny dome to rub oil onto, especially when you are alone in a cold bed....oooops, premature ah...thought if you will.

[Magnulus]

Now now, you naughty little man! ^_^

[dancegypsy]

Hey, there! I'm pretty far behind in watching all of my "subbed-to's" videos, so I didn't see this when it came out. I had been planning to ask when the wedding was going to be; glad to find that out.

I can see you have a little bit of fuzz all over, so it's already on its way to recovery after losing the battle with the Remington. You look good, but you know I'm partial to long-haired Magnulus. Now... on to the poem...

[Magnulus]

I have to admit I'm partial to long-haired me as well. ^_^ Oh well, we'll see in a couple of years. I'll be back in the old ways by then. ^_^

[anon2U224]

Just got to this struggling with the demands of "real life" vs. the desires of "virtual reality." I think, from experience, that when you wake is harder than when you go to bed. Fatigue plays a role here, altered states play more of a role in the a.m. Shaved head had me thinking you were preparing to enter a Buddhist monastery. Had me worried about you for a moment or two.  Good to see you again.

[Magnulus]

For me, it was a little of both. They were both crap in their own ways, I guess.

Heheh, as you may have seen in the video that came before it, it was just a bad piece of gadgetry, luckily. I couldn't join a buddhist monastery! They probably wouldn't even have had broadband! ^_^

[VannieBop]

sorry it took me so long to comment this. but anyway, i think its creative writing your also a voicious reader (my spelling sucks so pardon that) and the experience of her not being there and the fact of what you felt on her not being there is respect in my eyes because not many men express there emotions even verbally that much so ..hats off to ya

[Magnulus]

Awe, thanks! ^_^

I only write when it feels wholly natural for me to do so, and I guess that carries over into the writing and the performance. Thanks again!

[g4yozlykMAYO]

U looked lyk u where gona cry!!!

[g4yozlykMAYO]

U looked lyk u where gona cry!!!

[Magnulus]

I'll take that as a compliment. ^_^

[tabithascobra]

whats funny is your explanation is longer than your actual poem. but i was worried there for a moment, thanks for explaining!

[Magnulus]

^_^ That's the story of my life. I spend too much time explaining things.

[snotpokkit]

First, because it is least important: You look fine bald, which is good.

Second, because the best is last, that was a beautiful poem - I wish I had that kind of eloquence, and you're not even speaking in your first language.

This August 1st?

[Magnulus]

Yup! We don't believe in very long engagements. Who could wait?! ^_^ We've already got the rings and everything! (gold price is on its way up, so we acted fast)

Thanks a lot. I think poetry is less about the actual words and more about the rhythm of them and what's behind them. At least to me, but then, this is my second ever poem.

And lastly, thanks. I know I look all right bald, but I just wanted to trim it a little! *cries*

[manhill]

DON`T MARRY... i just mean... NO!... just DON`T DO IT...well, really.. please, my friend.... DON`T DO IT! DON`T MARRY.

[Magnulus]

Riiiight. Compelling argument, but I think I'm sticking with the marriage for now.

[marmosetguru]

I like it when you post a true you kind of videos, it gives a different perspective about you...

That's is part of why I like watching you, you are so versatile (meant that in a complimentary way) :-)

Thanks for the sharing

[Magnulus]

Heh, thanks! ^_^ I like to think that I can be serious as well as silly sometimes.

[grandmabev]

It was beautiful.....and congrats on your upcoming wedding!

[Magnulus]

Thanks and thanks! ^_^

[weetziemileebenjamin]

*sniff* this is so sad. I haven't seen you recite it yet, but I'll let you know what I think again in a few min...*watches*

[Magnulus]

Awe, you read it before you watched, eh? ^_^ *pats*

[kel2corkey]

Beautiful word

[DrLemur]

My congrats on the marriage as well. Good poem Mags. It's often at the best of times I think the saddest thoughts because I'm always aware that it could all be gone in an instant.

[Magnulus]

Luckily, I don't normally have that, but I know what you're talking about. One just needs to enjoy the moment. "Oh man, this awesome thing might end at any minute, but at least we're here and we're happy right now!"

Also, thanks! ^_^

[DrLemur]

Yeah moment by moment is definitely the best philosophy. I envy people who can stay in that head space. If you can avoid regrets and do that your pretty much sorted out I'd reckon..

[Magnulus]

Yeah, that's difficult for sure, and I don't manage to weed out the regrets, but at least I've gotten the bit about not thinking too much about future worries down... Now, if I could only look ahead a LITTLE bit and avoid doing stuff that'll bite me in the arse in the future... ^_^

[yumenotenshi07]

Congrats on your upcoming marriage. :)

[Magnulus]

Thanks! We're looking forward to it.

[yumenotenshi07]

Also, because I suck, I didn't say anything about the poem. It was great, even if it was very sad. Oh noes, Magnulus, don't become an emo kid!

[Magnulus]

It's okay... I understand... The world hates me and my poetry, and I'm worthless. That's why you didn't comment on the poem... Because I'm worthless. You hate me, and rightly so.

Oh, woe.

[JuicyOrange]

Oh Magnus! I'm used to sleeping in a cold bed. But oh how I do love napping with a warm body.

I loved the poem, it was so sweet. Seriously, the heart strings, they were a-tugging.

[Magnulus]

Awe, thanks a lot. ^_^

[MarquisMark76]

I'm living away from home to go to law school, so I've only gotten to see Clair over midterm breaks and the like, and I know exactly the feeling of being alone in a cold bed where there used to be another warm body next to me.

I actually got back from a trip to see her today, so it especially rings true today. Well done, pal.

[Magnulus]

Thanks, man. It can be a real bitch. It was a lot worse when she moved ahead to Scotland for six months, of course, but at least my house was warm then. ^_^

[Jujudapoet]

oohh!!!!

[Magnulus]

A comment on my poem from a bona fide Featured poet! I swell with pride! ^_^

(congratulations on that, by the way!)

[Jujudapoet]

Well thank you, but it was only featured a shoprt time and I am not that popular... I am just glad I am not wondering why my "friends" don't watch my vids. :P

[Magnulus]

I'm sorry, ya lost me.

Most of my real-life friends never check out my website or see my vids on Youtube, either, if that's what you mean. ^_^

[Jujudapoet]

Oh lolz I was referring to youtube theater. watch #7. Yeah I made the mistake of letting a few of my exes see my site and now I can't back talk them. just kidding. no I don't advertise my site to my friends.

[Magnulus]

^_^ -I- advertise my site to my friends!

Wait, no. I don't, actually. I tell them about it and then forget. I only expect my very BEST friends to actually check in every now and then.

[plush2you]

i miss the weight of my cat sleeping next to my feet at night ;(

[Magnulus]

Awe. *pats*

[Elaina43]

Really sweet!

Peace... and love... and love poems 8‹D

[Magnulus]

^_^ Thanks. I'm not really much of a poetry person, but it was there inside me, so I kinda just let it pour out.

[rcalliec]

i think my husband could sympathise with parts of this;-)

[Magnulus]

Awe! ^_^

[Shmilli]

ok, you freaked me out for a second. But when you said that Marit is coming back, I was: "PHEW"

Hey, you should seriously use some "domewax" now that you're a genuine "flintskalle". Zing!

[Magnulus]

Yeah, I figured I'd better explain it after I had actually read it out. I was like "Oh no, I'm gonna get so many "OMFGWTF, she's gone?!?!" messages!"

Heheh, No need. There's already hair growin on my noggin. The quality on Youtube just isn't fantastic for showing it off. ^_^

[ZenithXLT]

Yeah...my room would be cold if my iguana wasn't with me. No really! His heat lamp warms up my whole room, lol

[Magnulus]

Heheh, the benefits of keeping cold-blooded animals! "No, I CAN'T turn the heat down to save energy, my iguana needs it!

[ravenlillysoa]

Magnus that poem was beautiful & i have to say i think that the way you read it was so full of emotion & you could tell that it came from the depths of your heart, your fiance is going to just love this poem.

Lilly

[Magnulus]

She did. ^_^

Thanks a lot! I felt my eyes looked kinda dead compared to what I thought they were when I read it, but I guess not!

[jabazzy]

omg I almost cried! This was the sweetest and most heartfelt video you've made. I loves it so.

[Magnulus]

Awe! Thanks! ^_^

[jabazzy]

You're awesome.

[Magnulus]

SHUSH now! That's enough, you're embarrasing me!

No, I'm only joking. Do go on.

[jabazzy]

Well I did put this video on my channel page because I want people to see it. But darn I don't have an auto player :( But you do and you chose to put a great message in there. *sighs I love ya.

[Magnulus]

Love ya back, Jazz. ^_^

[RoobyJuice]

You're wonderful, you are. x

[Magnulus]

Awe! ^_^

[watermelli1980]

congratulations! I must have missed the video where you announced your getting married...where does Marit work? I always envy people who get to travel for work...

[Magnulus]

If you knew how often Marit phones me even just during a three-day conference, maybe you wouldn't envy her so much. ^_^

Oh, I didn't say it in a video, I just mentioned it in the description. I kind of forgot that it wasn't in a video when I said it, heh.

[watermelli1980]

I know, I didn't mean it to come out like that...I just want an excuse to travel for free :p

[Magnulus]

Heheh, I know exactly what you mean. In addition, you're usually paid extra for travelling if it's for work. ^_^

If I wasn't in this relationship, I would have loved a travelling job.

[creegirl9]

thats why I have dogs and cats. always a furry body to hold on to. does that sound slightly weird??

[Magnulus]

Hey, I've had two dogs. I understand completely. ^_^

[RosssFrazer]

A very thought provoking poem,

I'm not good at poetry but I like to write songs.

Does that count as poetry?

You have a talent.

[RosssFrazer]

Correction,

*A bigg tallent.

[Magnulus]

Song writing is poetry, too! It's got all the stylistic elements of poetry, so why not? ^_^

Thanks a lot. I only ever write poetry when a phrase or a thought enters my mind, and it's usually a process of just writing it down, so it tends to be a quick process. I'm not really much of a poet, so thanks again for the comment. ^_^
