Every land is the "Land Of Poetry". People all over the world create poems every minute of every day.

I think that all poets write about not only their personal experiences but those around them. I can't speak for Marko or any other poet but I am sure there are many reasons for writing poems.

What I think Marko has done was to write poetry that can relate to everyone. Love, sadness, hurt, hope, wistfulness, pride, lust, greed and all other emotions and actions of "the person" in general brings us, the fans, feel like we are not alone; there is someone else out there who understands us. How he writes it and makes it so special to us is amazing and I have no idea how he does that! There is no other singer/songwriter that can move me the way he does and for me, personally, that is special. I listen to POTF each day and there are times when a song that meant something to me yesterday means something else to me today. That is unusual and special.

I also must give Olli and Captain thanks for helping to match the music to the lyrics (or vice versa) in this wonderful collaboration. POTF is a group that just keeps giving us wonderful surprises and has us wondering what will come next. I think each of their albums is unique and I love that! They are unpredictable! (Hey wait didn't Marko say a woman was unpredictable? )

Oh yes, it would be really fantastic if Marko in person would answer to you, even if his last visit to the forum goes back to 2004...ufficially...maybe "incognito"...
However a "Soul of Music" like him couldn't have made itself out of nothing, but it based on an extraordinary natural talent, moulded and directed to the "right way", through a serious preparation, I don't know if totally by autodidact or supported also by specific studies, as he frequented university.

Is not easy thing to transform its own life's experience in such poetry and emotions....

I really wish you he'll answer to you, personally!!!

And about autumn, it's my favourite season, so I understand Marko....

As said by Snow

Well yes thanks to them also.
According to an interview of the poets i read that the lyrics that they prepare are done by both Marko and Ollie *mostly Marko though*. But my thanks goes to each and every member related to this band. And especially the once who promoted it. All the person who made this band so popular when they where an upcoming band. I am greatly thankful to them.

Hey this topic is too down!!

Ok, let me write something....

Today, by chance, I listened to an old song of "my times".
If I'd be a silly fangirl, I'd dedicate it to Marko..here..publicly, but I'm not that kind of fan so I WILL NOT DO IT....
I'd have to be possesed by "fangirlness spirit" to do that ....but...what....what's happening??? OH NO, fangirlness spirit is possesing me!!! HELP!! Nooo, please, I don't want!!! NOOOOO!!!!!.......

"Hi, I'm Claudia and I want to dedicate "Mad about you" by Belinda Carlisle To Marko , thanks and bye!"

"(...)

Mad about you (Mad about you)
Lost in your eyes (Reason aside)
Mad about love (Mad about you)
You and I

Something 'bout you
Right here beside me
Touches the touched part of me like I can't believe..."

......Oh no, WHAT I'VE DONE! (beautiful Linkin Park's song...). I can't believe it!! What a disaster!!! In the and (other beautiful Linkin Park's song...) I'VE DONE IT....
What can I say??? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.....

How strange is Marko with dark hair...
They gives him an ethereal, surreal, supernatural look, which is well-combined with his lyrics, sometimes so unattainable, it seems. As though he weren't, simply, human...
A "beyond this world" creature with irresistible and disarming charm, able to hypnotize you with his lyrics, his voice, his glance, with those so pure sky-blue eyes, where lost yourselves for ever ..as in a spell...
There's something in him that alerts you, but attracts you at the same time, to which you can't resist, cos actually you don't want, even if you know you should........

...................He is a Vampire, a Lord of Vampires, one of the "Ancients", of "Pure Blood" noble descent.
As all the "Ancients" he's so powerful to be not afraid of sun-light or water; he lives in an ancient manor in the heart of the ancient forests of Finland. He doesn't sleep into a coffin, but on an ebony solid wooden large bed, all inlaid, with red silk sheets and velvet blankets of the same colour. Lighted fire into the stone fireplace warms his bedroom and, with candelabra(s) suffused light, hardly lights the bed on which he rests; from the large glass door of the balcony the full moon shows up his cold body's marble white, upon red sheets "tangled" to it...
Meanwhile his lineage five trust-worthiest members protect his residence by those few enemys who dare to oppose his power...........


Anyway, I prefer him with his natural colour hair..it makes him more.."human"...and more hand-some.....

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English!

@claudia72

Can I have some of what you're having??

You're so fun Claudia! Love your posts!

... Thank you so much, Snow!

Marko must be getting quite inspired these days/weeks/months because autumn is here... Oh well, I'm not a psychic but who knows......???????

@claudia72 It looks like my thoughts messing around in my head

Everybody knows that Marko is a woman

Haha! Guess that's what we feel everytime we listen to Poets' lyrics...The day I wrote that, I was very, very inspired...

P.S.: excuse me, but, are you the same Agnes of We love Finland-We love Poets of the Fall??

What about his hands, I love the way he moves them when singing and the way he closes his eyes... he's so... I don't have the words but he's all emotion I think I really love him <3

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now it's you and Claudia with the wildness!!!!!!

Claudia I can assure you there is NO ONE else in this world like you and there is no POTF fan in this world like you!

It's most definitely a compliment since I love it when people are passionate about stuff they like or in this case, <3.

So what about Marko now? You have started this fancy thread Claudia and you can't just keep it up by yourself, right? So maybe we can think of things to say about him until the concert coming up!

Like:

What will he wear? Maybe a wicked awesome vintage T or is it going to be a plain black one (I like the printed ones myself especially that Jack Daniels one; I feel very close to it ) What color will his hair be, light or dark? (I like it darker blonde myself) And will we see any 5 o'clock shadow? I mean it's all the rage here in the US with Conan, the main late night dude, sporting a short beard and looking wicked awesome! What about the Converse? Has he dropped them in favor for another kind of shoe or boot?

@DanceOfFlame

Ah yes, man hands! I love Marko's hands!

All very important questions to consider! ........................


And I don't think Marko is a girl

A girl! Oh yes... That's why he cut his hair so short last year...

@ Snow & claudia72

I just want to ask you a simple question: "Are you okay?"

As compared to.................................. Mentally or physically or both?

Yes...................and...............wait for it...........wait for it ..................No

Is that sufficient?

Yeah, I got it...

I would hate to see it out of control: Arthur - Inception

Stay tuned for out of control........

Oh dear Snow, I really don't know how to thank you for your words! But really do you think that about me?! I just didn't realize my... "passion" was so.. clear I didn't expect that...
And I'm so glad you .. "refreshed" this thread with one of your "delicious" comments , so:

I agree with you about Jack Daniels t-shirt and in general the printed ones (and do you feel so close to what? The t-shirt... or Jack Daniels... );
hope he won't change his hair color, he's just perfect with his natural hair one...
And about "any 5 o'clock shadow" (oh darling, you just can't torture me in that way! How much seductive could ever he be??!...), short beard or not I find him looking wicked awesome... always
And I love him wearing the Converse, too...
But if I can say, I'd like to see him wearing a red or blue t-shirt with blue stone jeans, as well as, it would be great ALCHEMY t-shirt... with "total black wearing", too...

@DanceOfFlame, what about Marko's hands?!
A "beautiful mind" hands couldn't be nothing but enchanting, precious hands, indeed...
And if Marko is a girl... I'm the most handsome, seductive male vampire in the whole mortal world... and not only

@razor, I'VE NEVER BEEN BETTER!

Well dearest Claudia:

Do you know where I live? If not, I live in the Nashville, Tennessee, USA area (not entirely my idea, but there's a story behind that!) and do you know what is just down the road a bit from us? Jack Daniel's distillery where all the Jack magic happens . Now I don't drink anymore, but I used to drink a few Jack and Cokes ; therefore the connection so.........if Marko ever wanted to take a trip there to see what they do to make Jack, he is welcome to take a tour with me .

Funny thing is in this weirdo state there are what are called "dry counties." A dry county is where NO ONE can sell or serve alcohol in retail or restaurants, but of course you can drink at home and usually there is a country just up the road a ways where you can buy some and take it home so what's the point? I don't know, but that's how it is here and guess what is ironic? JACK DANIELS WISKEY IS MADE IN A DRY COUNTY! I mean really! You can't tasted it there! Too funny! It's an interesting tour though..........wait, what was the question? (Hehehe)

Yes! My exquisite posts! OMG! More like silly fluff posts, but it's fun to be like that sometimes; well or all the time if you're me which luckily you are not!

I do agree on his hair color The shadow is really all over the place here in the US celebrity circuit........why just last night Mr Hugh Jackman was sporting one and looking pretty good (I don't find him particular attractive, but the shadow helped) on The Oscars......yes, I don't like those shows, but I wanted to see how many times my favorites would lose out to The Kings Speech.

Converse..........well I have been wearing them since I was a child since they started out as a common tennis shoe here and now I collect them; I even design my own, those are the ones I buy, so I am partial . But every now and again, it's nice to change to something else .

Yes! The new Alchemy shirt would be awesome for concerts right? Great thinking there my friend! I do like the regular jeans, but I do love the black too.....so hard to choose!

The hands thing: I don't know about other girls, but I like men's hands because they are more muscular and large and I like holding hands with them and Marko has such hands.......that is all .

@razor

You know I kept thinking of this song when you asked if we are ok:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall,"
You thought they were all a’kiddin' you.
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out.
Now you don't talk so loud,
Now you don't seem so proud,
About having to be scrounging your next meal.

How does it feel ?
How does it feel ?
To be without a home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling stone ?

Aw, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely,
But you know you only used to get “juiced” in it.
Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street,
And now you're gonna have to get used to it.
You say you never compromise
With a mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, “Do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel ?
How does it feel ?
To be on your own ?
With no direction home ?
A complete unknown ?
Like a rolling stone ?

Aw, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you.
You never understood that it ain't no good,
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal ?

How does it feel ?
How does it feel ?
To have ya’ on your own ?
With no direction home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling stone ?

Aw, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they’ve got it made.
Exchanging all precious gifts,
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse.
When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel ?
Aw, how does it feel ?
To be on your own ?
With no direction home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling stone ?

Although that doesn't answer your question at all..........or does it?

I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you? - Mal ~ Inception

@Snow: I didn't know Jack Daniel's distillery was in Tennessee, and "JACK DANIELS WISKEY IS MADE IN A DRY COUNTY", that's just an ironic/funny curiosity!
I don't drink super alcoholics, but I love its label/stamp and I've always been interested in knowing how they make Jack Daniels... so may I come with you and Marko, please??

About Hugh Jackman, I have to say that, on the contrary, I find him very attractive... but not as "someone else" we know...

And I totally agree with what you thing about men's hands... INDEED!...... But are you sure Marko's ones are muscular and large as well? Cos I'm not so sure of that... guess I'd need to see "that" for myself.......

Do you mean the FB group? No, I am Agnieszka in there, and I didn't create it, just joined it


That was only to mislead us



take me with you too!

Do you think Marko is "twittering" more often than the other guys? I just wonder... Cos in interviews he's the one who talks a lot! (I don't mind, you know, I love his voice even when he's just talking... no matter in English or in Finnish <333).

Well, I guess it means you're different. And different people aren't okay usually in others idea... So it's nice to be different. Because (My personal idea) we owe our everything to different ones. and mostly people don't understand what they say. Like Inception...

DanceOfFlame, That might be true that he writes more than others, but I'd need to read more tweets to find out. Marko's tweets (at least some) are easy to guess. He has a specific way of writing, i.e. he likes to play with words or make puzzles and jokes. If you have read some of his interviews you should know what I mean

Oh yes, I do! I love his sense of humor and the way he plays with words, so brilliant!

I see that Marko is sincerely loved by his fans. He must feel wonderful when he reads or hears or sees how much you all appreciate his achievements.

Rare are the people who can convey so many precious feelings and experiences through voice, lyrics and instruments, like Poets do...

...or scared

Gotta get a hold of myself
I see them gathering around
And they need me to do their will
