Poetry, Anyone?

Lost but not long forgotten,
are memories of me and you.
Of the times the two of us,
helped each other through.

Painting pretty colored rainbows,
across the sidewalks with chalk.
Playing tag, hopscotch, basketball,
in the daylights heated bright sun.

But then one sunny day I awoke,
to find you had been taken home.
To the place beyond the clouds,
where now you are my Angel found.

LMH your poetry is so emotive and the imagery is really good. I'm not really one for poems but yours area really nice to read. *a big thumbs up from me* :D

This is a poem/song thing, about my (now ex) boyfriend, who isn't the best of the bunch. It's rhyming pattern thingy is based on 'Wreck of the Day' by Anna Nalick (because i can;t write my own melodies hehe)

Can't Give You Up
You're a liar, a fake
But you're my favourite mistake
'Cause I can't seem to get you outta my head
No more I say
But at the end of the day
Without you in my life I just feel dead

And I know, I should've had enough
Had enough
Of this substitute for love
But I can't give it up
Give you up

I know that you know
That I can't let you go
And you're just like a drug so addictive
Then I'm the stupid fool
You keep stringing along
From the start I just couldn't predict it

And I know, I should've had enough
Had enough
Of this substitute for love
But I can't give it up
Give you up

(Maybe I'm just an unfortunate victim of love,
Maybe I choose not to see when enough is enough)

Did it feel good
With that other damn fool?
Who thought she was the only one you loved
More times you've hurt me
Than I can remember
But then I just choose to forget them

( And maybe I'm just an unfortunate victim of love,
Maybe I choose not to see when enough is enough)

And I know, I should've had enough
Had enough
Of this substitute for love
But I can't give it up
Give you up

Take me away from you
One of these days
But 'til then I just can't live without you
I'll never be away from you
'Cause these bonds are too strong
And I just can't break through them

And I know, I should've had enough
Had enough
Of this substitute for love
But I can't give it up
Give you up
Give you up.

Thanks CalleighD, yours was very well done too.


Poetry is a special quote of personal words,
a way to express, our feelings of joy or hurt.
It helps let others know, and want to feel,
what makes us happy, or brings out our fears.

Never be afraid of writing what is on your own mind,
this is your brain releasing,what you feel inside.
So always write it down, even if it don't make sense,
for it's something your mind, knows needs to be said.

LMH :)
 
Come with me, take my hand,
allow me to help you understand.
The need for friendship, and need for love,
that makes us one, with those above.

All it takes, is one true friend,
to take the time, to comprehend.
The pain, the hurt, the sorrow within,
our feelings each day, we are forced to live.

So follow me, to the mountain high,
and we'll sit, and watch the evening tide.
Splashing against the rocks and beach,
as we talk, and set our souls free.

LMH :)
 
Thanks. :)

"If you call"

If you call my name, I will appear,
like a shadow, scaring away, your fear.
Of your haunts, and terror dreams,
that cloud, your painful, memories.

I'll always be your saviour, your hope,
that guide's you, teaching you to cope.
With the pain, the ache, and the hurt,
that never leaves, but continues to burn.

So hold me tight, don't ever let go,
I'll carry you, upon our Cliff's once more.
Sitting you down, rocking you in my arms,
until the haunt, disappears, with it's harm.

LMH :)
 
It's....

It's in your sweet smile, it's in your eyes,
just everything about you, speaks warmth inside.
From your simple caress, that soothes, burns,
let's my soul know, that everything has turned.
Into spiritual beauty, kindness, and grace,
everything about you, makes my heart race.
So cuddle me close, and kiss me once more,
give me your passion, forever to have, hold.
Into the moonlight, of this Valentine night,
as our whispered two hearts soar in flight.

LMH :)
 
I really for some reason like this poem.

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
------
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
 
I see your tears, falling, falling down,
cause I'm no longer, following you around.
I really tried to hold on, to your heart,
but you ignored the sign, that tore us apart.

Now you whisper how sorry you are, and feel,
from the pain, that you forced on us to deal.
So my answer to you, has to be no, never again,
for the rest of life, will I call you a friend.

LMH :p
 
^ LMH your most recent one sooo sums up what I'm feeling right now.

This one I wrote for my brothers homework (bad I know, but what are big sisters for?) Everyone in the class had to pick a piece of paper out of a hat and on the paper was a word that every line in the poem had to start with. He picked out 'another' This is what I came up with :S

War

Another morning breaks but they’re up before the sun,
Another long hard day ahead but they have to carry on.
Another shout of ‘fire’ and the gunshots echo loudly,
Another bloody battle, but they keep on marching proudly.
Another village taken and the bodies they lay broken,
Another soldier wonders but his thoughts remain unspoken.
Another letter sent from home, and he wishes he was there,
Another photo of his baby girl, and he just sits and stares.
Another cold and lonely night full of strategies and plans,
Another enemy attack draws close and they have to make a stand.
Another brother lost today, the third one in two weeks,
Another battle starts again; they have no time to weep.
Another shower of bullets fall on them like white-hot acid rain,
Another young soldier is hit; he knows he’ll never walk again.
Another mother cries bitterly, knowing she has paid the cost,
Another child grows up, not knowing the father he has lost.
Another pointless conflict, both sides weep for their lost sons,
Another country torn, the legacy of war still living on.
 
That poem really touched me. Love this part the most:
Another brother lost today, the third one in two weeks,
Another battle starts again; they have no time to weep.

You captured the theme very well.
 
He walks along the dining room floor
Right up to the living room door
He follows me everywhere
With his nose in the air
His feet make that noise on the ground
All day long and all day round
I think I’m going to kill him quickly
Cause my dog is driving me crazy

and the funeral song:


I may know the chorus,
But I do not know the song.
The notes stretched out into infinity,
Even the quavers are long.
So listen,
Listen to the dirge,
The requiem,
Listen to the funeral song

Come and sing,
Sing the funeral song
But when the end comes
They will all be gone.
So sing with me,
Sing my funeral song

I may know what will happen,
But I do not know when or why.
Someday it will happen,
We will surly die.
So march,
March to the dirge,
The requiem,
March to the funeral song.

Come and chant,
Chant the funeral song
But when the end comes
We will all be gone.
So chant with me,
Chant my funeral song.
 
Don't rush through life,
just take it slow.
Allow your heart,
to travel and roam.

Never stopping,
till it reaches the tip.
Of all your dreams,
that you want to live.

Faster now,
the day's become years.
All grown up,
on your own without fear.

LMH :)
 
When you wake, wake with a smile,
meet a friend, and talk a while.
Keep all your memories real close,
sharing them, with other's warmth.


Don't keep your anger hidden away,
allow it to come out, it's no shame.
Tell a friend when you need a hug,
allow them to comfort you, with love.

Take an insult with a grain of salt,
don't let it fill your soul, to rot.
Just laugh it off, and reach for me,
I'll always be here, with hugs for free.

I smile at my daughter, as her eyes shine bright,
showing her little smile, that lights my nights.
Laughing and hugging, as she embraces in my arms,
telling me she loves me, feeling her sweet charms.

It's hard to believe 10 years have come to pass,
growing now, with attitude, beauty, that will last.
Into her childhood, with friends by her warm side,
playing and talking, as the school days pass her by.

As I watch, I know her future will forever bring,
happiness, gentleness, causing her spirit to sing.
Taking her into teen age years, dances and proms,
leaving behind the the ponytails, ribbons, & dolls.

Even though I know these events will eventually come,
I know she'll still always be my sweet, little one.
