My Very Own Poetry Thread

[snowbunny]

Well I decided to move my never-read poetry thread (notice the rhyme? ) Well here goes!

~What They Do~

They tell you're not good enough
And all you do is wrong.
They put you down when times get tough
You know you don't belong.

But all the times the bruised your pride
And tried to break your faith
You kept the knowlage deep inside
That someday things would change.

And now that things have turned around
You're doing very well
and all those ones who put you down
Are now going through hell.

So next time you break down and cry
at things that they have said
Don't sit around and whine and sigh
Just keep your eyes ahead.



~Life's Little Miracles~

How much do I love you?
Let me count the ways
I love you like the gorgeous view
Of the sky at the end of the day

I love you like the smell of grass
Or a field of golden hay
I love you like the glint of glass
On a hot summer day

My love for you is all around
In each and every heart
It's in every sight and taste and sound,
So we'll never be apart.



~First Dance~

Sitting in the flashing lights
The music's playing loud
I think I just might die of fright
My heat begins to pound

You look me straight in the eye
You think you'll take a chance
I thought for sure that I would die
When you said "would you like to dance"

You take my hand and lead the way
Onto the crowded floor
The moment takes my breath away
I've never done this before

Trying hard to keep in time
I just can't concentrate
To be this close is so sublime
You feel like my soul mate.

But now the song has finished
And I start to break away
The feeling has diminished
And it feels too weird to stay

You turn and grab me by the arm
And tell me not to go
You know that you have to much charm
That I just can't say no!

We sit alone and talk a while
And now I know it's true
From that first dance and smile
My true love would be you.



~Everyday~

everyday brings a new fear
another joy
another tear
another heart will start to beat
one will break
and one will cease
the world will take another whirl
in this big universe
i'm just one girl
another star falls from the sky
another bird will learn to fly
life is all too hard sometimes
and love is sometimes hard to find
i want to say that in any way
i'll stand beside you everyday

Those are really good. I really like "First dance'' and ''What they do''. Very descriptive- and I can  relate to some of them as well.

I like "What they do" and "First Dance"... All your poems have a lot of emotion.  Post more, okay?

The day you walked out of my life
I lost a peice of me
The pain you left cut like a knife
Why won't you set me free?

Your face is all I think about
Your touch I can still feel
The memories fill me with doubt
Why can't they be real?

The only thing I ask for
The only thing I need
Is to have my peace of mind once more
I want to be set free

~To My One True Love~

You may never read this
We may never meet
May never share just one sweet kiss
Or sample love so sweet.

But still you live within my dreams
It's almost like it's real
Displaying all the emotions
That I may never feel

Are you the boy who lives next door
Or someone far away?
Have we never met before
Or do I see you every day?

If I ever pass you by
I know this much is true
hearts explode and sparks will fly
That's how I'll know it's you.

cool idea.

I like this poem from SweetGoldenSlumber's signature.  

I ran up the door,
closed the stairs,
said my pajamas,
and put on my prayers.
Turned off the bed,
and hopped into the light,
all because you kissed me good night.



I should have a bunch of other poems I've written in the past on floppy discs some where.  It seems I always write a poem for school portfolio pieces when possible.  I've just always found them easiest for me to write.

I love your poems!

[GlitterPunk]

wow, they are great!
i like the way you rhymed the words. i could really relate to "what they do", it's exactly how i feel,sometimes.

Keep them comming!...

[KattyKatie]

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see there
Will you still tell me lies
Do you even care?
I thought today could be the day
To show you whats inside
I need to know if you will stay
or if you'll run and hide
Are you in love with just the girl you see
The package's good enough
Or can you look at the real me
And stay when times get rough.
I can't be perfect all the time
Sometimes I'll let you down
But understand that when you cry
I'll always be around.

~*Watching Over You*~
How many times have you looked into the mirror
And feared another day?
How many times have you layed and cried
And felt your world slipping away?
How many tear drops have you shed
Over things that cannot be?
How many times have you sat and dreamed
Of things you cannot see?
How many days have passed you by
And left you there with scars?
How many nights have come and gone
And made you try to reach the stars?
How many times have you wondered who you are and why you're here
And if anybody cares?
How many people have left you behind
Not knowing how your heart dispairs?
How often do you reach out for love
To find that it's not real?
And how many times have you been afraid
To let yourself feel?
How many questions do you need
To make it through your day?
What exactly is it
That you want for me to say?
Do you want me to pledge my friendship
One that will never die?
Or do you want a shoulder
On which you can lay your head and cry?
Whatever it is you want from me
Whatever I can give
I want you to know I'll stand by you
As long as I shall live
And if I die before my time
Please know that this is true
I'll always be a guardian angel
Watching over you

~*Tough Love*~
You tell me that it's "tough love"
That you need to keep me straight
You tell me I'm not smart enough
You tell me to lose weight
You say I'll never leave you
You say I won't go far
If I ever really had a clue
I would see who you really are
Day after day I stick around
Despite the pain you cause
I guess I never really found
Who I really was
I just can't bear to leave you
I just can't bear to go
I know that when we are through
That I will be alone
But is it worth the pain I bear
To keep you here with me?
Is there really something there
That I just cannot see?
I know that I deserve real love
I guess I'm just niave
I pray to the Lord above
Please give me the strength to leave
I know before the night is through
I'll have no reason to postpone
So it's now that I bid you adieu
And head out on my own
