Posted: 9/19/2006 7:30:37 PM | Wrote this for a friend I jammed with that was goin thru the blues a while back. Its more of a song too.
suck it up princess.
Theres no crying,
in rock and roll, yet
theres something pulling hard on me from
somewhere deep down in my soul.
I wanna let go now,
gain some control somehow.
But here I am.
SOme call it passion,
Some call it pain, now im here
standing outside looking
up at the sky thinkin gawd,
man I wish it would rain.
Help me hide all these tears,
Wash away the broken years.
But Here i am.
I love you my baby,
nothing I can do about that.
I hope you dont either cuz
I dont wanna know where
I'd eventually find myself at.
I love you for always,
at least forever and a day.
But here I am.

Posted: 9/19/2006 8:26:12 PM | PatchworkMan - great courage and a great poem! Actually, it is great to see the talent in this thread! Patch, I think you have competition for the position of Poet Laureate for the PoF NB crew!  I love poetry and quotes as some of you may have noticed in my other posts. Well, I am way better at admiring poetry then writing it!!!! But to be fair, I will post one here. This is the first real poem that I wrote when I was 14. 13 years ago. Add a little humour:
I never knew before we married
that you drank so much my dear.
..........Well you know it now my duckie.
..........Join me in a glass of cheer?
I never knew before we married
that your hair is not blond but red.
..........Well that's our little family secret,
..........unless you wanna end up dead!
I never knew before we married
that you'd not hang up your clothes.
..........Well I never thought it mattered.
..........You could do it for me I suppose?
I never knew before we married
that you mom was moving in!
..........Well of course - my mom belongs here!
..........- She directs most everythin!
I never knew before we married
you watch soaps. That's all you do.
..........Did you know that Brooke and Adam
..........are on trial for muder two?
Oh my dearest, dearest darlin'
there's so much I never knew
And though I'll love you till forever
there's a thing we must review!
..........Communication my sweet husband.
..........That'll save our true romance.
..........So settle back and I will tell you
..........exactly who will wear the pants! Dexter_moses
Although a meagre and mediocre piece, the rhythm is off in a few stanzas, I chose this one to share as this is a dating site. | |

Posted: 9/20/2006 3:35:29 AM | I wrote this for my newphew who never really made it in this world. My sadness at losing my 1st newphew inspired it. Seems to be strong emotions that inspire my poems. Ive also be asked to consider publishing it but...well still dont know. And if you cry you cant hit me, I got that alot when people read in in RL and started balling.
An Angel Child
The hall of souls doth cast such light,
As newborn souls begin their flight.
To mortal Earth as babes they be,
The souls of children only God can see.
This journey is but long and true,
To awaiting parents comes babe anew.
But one such soul shall not fly,
For it's God's decree that he's to die.
Tis a sad event when life is not lived,
What joys and sorrow we have to give.
This little soul has a destiny,
God's child Angel shall he be. | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 2:28:05 PM | This poem I found & read earlier today.. Original Author Unknown to me.
Shattered Pieces
Inside my sleeve, I pull out my heart,
handing it to you, "careful it's fragile,
and easily falls apart."
...
Extending your arms, you take the heart in
your tender warm hands.
It falls into a million shattered pieces - on
the floor it lands.
...
You begin to bend down to pick it up, sorrow and
sadness in your eyes.
...
Apologies are not enough.
...
Looking at you with tears in my eyes,
I ask you not to pick up the pieces of a heart
that has fallen apart.
...
I am the one who needs to pick up the pieces of
my shattered heart - one by one, piece by piece.
I need to put it together again, some how. some way.
...
Each piece of my heart has a memory so true.
Each piece of my heart has part of you.
...
You are the one who is leaving to start a new lease on life.
I'll just be here on my knees picking up the pieces of a
heart that feels like it's being pierced with a knife.
...
All my tears won't keep you near
All my tears won't mend what's not here.
...
Again I look at you with a whisper in my voice,
The only way my heart will mend and finally be complete,
is if you and I can come together without being discreet.
You see, what we have here and today, helps me face the
world, with a love for you that gives a glow -
but now, my darling, you made a choice.
...
My heart is on this floor, shattered and broke.
With each piece I pick up -
I need to learn to let go. | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 2:46:05 PM | This is just something silly I wrote several years ago.
Physics
Nothing is real,
And what if it were?
Heat the particle soup
And give it a stir.
Virtual pions
That weren't there but are,
And life based on elements
Formed in a star.
Electrons that send out
Photons that shine,
Tachyons moving
Backward through time.
Time's arrow pointing
To future or past,
Clocks that run slow
When they move fast.
Einstein and Bohr
Were known to have spats,
And Schrodinger must
Not have liked cats.
Chaos is more than
A theory, I find,
It also describes what
All this does to my mind. | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 6:34:19 PM | OK...here I go...I will make this up as I go...Im a pro at this:
Here we all are on a forum post
What is it really that we want the most,
Is it guys with no shirts and a great looking car?
That seems to be most of the picts so far.
All these people with brains and class,
And the others that want just a piece of ass.
I say tonight why is this so hard
Without sounding like a Hallmark card.
At this point did we think about a date
Or be on a "favs" list as a way to rate
Im still hoping and watch the time tick tock
But really tell me..is this all a big Crock?!
LOL

I don't understand why people are so shy about their poems, I've enjoyed reading them all, and who knows how much they can affect someone's life. You all have touched me, keep up the good work! | |

Posted: 4/19/2007 5:37:29 PM | JUST A MOMENT IN TIME
It was just a moment in time that captured my heart
Just a moment in time too special to share
Just a moment in time after a moment in time
When two hearts became one for as long as they dared.
It was just a moment in time that will never die.
Just a moment in time too tender to bear
Just a moment in time until the last moment in time
When two people lost all because they were scared
It was just a moment in time that cannot be replaced.
Just a moment in time that can never be erased
Just a moment in time that could never be
When two hearts were broken and left to bleed
It was all gone in just a moment of time.
THE TREASURE
My eyes have seen a miracle sent from up above
Not an ordinary miracle but one for us to love
A precious little life placed within our trust.
A beautiful little baby, oh so perfectly formed.
With ten tiny fingers who reach out to us
Ten smooth tiny toes (a miracle all their own)
and two beautiful lips shaped in a perfect "O'
My eyes have seen a wee shiny nose
and two gorgeous eyes with wisdom brightly shown
The delicate head all covered with tiny hairs
and skin so soft and pink that glistens as a rose.
I held his tiny body that smelled so sweet
and one look at this angel my heart skipped a beat
This precious treasure, this newborn one,a showing of our Fathers Love
and the heartfelt warmth of the sun.
My eyes have seen a miracle
which nothing can compare
our future ahead in this newborn child
with oh so much love to share
The miracle of life born to live right from the start
Our responsiblity to bring up right
With love and kisses and hugs and wishes
and dreams and gentle hearts. | |

Posted: 4/19/2007 5:39:57 PM | I wrote this quite awhile ago.... Had one of those days where my mind was racing.
By no means do I consider myself a writer of poems, but I did take a stab at something.. Here it is..
Sleepless Nights
She came into my life like the springs rains
Soft and warm, bringing life to a dormant soul
Gradually getting to know each other and life's pains
Becoming attached to one another like a mare to her foul
Knowing there will be many Sleeples Nights
As the days go by becoming closer, feelings for each other grow
We share trials , trivulations & memories of days in the past
With never ending thoughts of when which one will be the last
I dream of her personality & endless beauty like a freshly fallen snow
Knowing there will be many Sleeples Nights
Time seems irrelavant when dreaming of a gorgeous soul
Her voice is smooth & soft like the pedals of a rose
In my mind I can feel her velvety skin with a gentle touch
Carressing the whole of her body sends shivers to my toes
Knowing there will be many Sleeples Nights
Oh, how I long to have her near, cuddled next to me
Wishing I could hold her close and kiss her gently
Letting the passion built up deep inside flow
Feeling the heat of two entangled bodies grow
Knowing there will be many Sleeples Nights | |

Althouigh, I wouldn't consider myself talented in the art of composing poems just yet. That was the only one I have ever written. | |

Posted: 4/20/2007 1:20:42 PM | | Sgl, I think you're onto something here. This is good, especially if it was your first. Have you thought about posting it in the general Poetry Forum? I think it deserves a wider audience, and would be appreciated there. I've posted a few there, and they're a pretty accepting bunch in that forum. | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 5:46:01 PM | I agreed there os alot of talent here . I like the haiku that Amoreena did . It is beautiful.
Many styles, subjects and yes Roamer deserves mention. All contributors are unique and I love reading them all . I hope we can keep this thread going ad Ssl , you should consider writing more.
Here is another one I want to share:
THE ELUSIVE UNICORN
Sometimes I sit and contemplate life in wonder.
Whats this elusive unicorn people call love
That plunders the heart and tears it asunder
And leaves the soul crying tears of blood.
Swearing it as true but soon realized a blunder.
Does the unicorn trample the soul beneath its hooves?
Or does it just breathes life into the dazed?
Does it need a shelter in which it is to roost?
Or does it graze and feed contently on the sweet hays of youth,
Of the weak, the strong. How does it choose?
Does it run rampart, wild and free?
Or is it penned and controlled with strings?
Does its mane entwine all who wish to see it?
Or only those whose hearts have wings'
Or only those who want to believe?
If you catch this unicorn then tell me please,
How do you know it is real and will it last?
If this unicorn is something you only feel
Not something you hold on to or to grasp.
How can you cage something
That you're not sure is truly real.
Yet foolish wars and enemies have been gained
Lives have been ruined and ideas scorned
Battles fought and freedom caged
All in the name of that elusive unicorn.

Posted: 4/23/2007 3:22:59 AM | My Big Old Tree
Sitting here I look and see
Grass and birds and my big old tree
Swaying gentally in the breeze
In the middle of April I start to freeze
I go inside and shut my door
Wanting, needing something more
The summer sun beaming down on me
I want to run and hide under my big old tree | |

Posted: 4/26/2007 12:32:43 PM | Longing
I long for a man to hold me close and whom I won't let go.
I long for a face that shines and always wears a smile.
I long for a heart to capture and it captures mine,
And I know that it really is mine.
I long for someone charming, witty, sincere and kind.
I long for someone who is arresting to all my senses.
I long for this thing calls love you and I desire.
Is it you to warm my heart and find my soul? | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 9:00:32 AM | This isnt a poem, and not really a song, as I have never before wrote anything, so the structure is way off....but just thought I would post it as my first attempt at whatever it is..lol.
What a Mistake I Made
How many times do I have to attempt to go to sleep every night,
Only to wake up every hour with you in my head,
I go down memory lane, just to relive the good times,
Ohhhhh yes I know I am avoiding the bad times,
The tears start falling on my pillow,
My heart stops beating when I remind myself we are no longer,
Never wanted it to be like this,
Never wanted to feel this pain again,
Why did I think you would always love me forever,
What a mistake I made,
Ohhh what a mistake I did make,
So the tears are still falling,
And your not calling,
What it would do to just know you care,
That these last few months were not just in my imagination,
So you say you don’t know if you love me,
Don’t know where you are in life,
Well baby, once the love goes away,
Its just you alone, to fight your way,
Through this hard thing we call life,
Never wanted it to be like this,
Never wanted to feel this pain again,
Why did I think you would always love me forever,
What a mistake I made,
Ohhh what a mistake I did make,
I have been up and down in this relationship,
I admit,
But baby please know, you were my ultimate goal,
To finding the true love that I have been searching for,
I thought I found it,
Just needed some work and time,
But, ohhhhhh
Never wanted it to be like this,
Never wanted to feel this pain again,
Why did I think you would always love me forever,
What a mistake I made,
Ohhh what a mistake I did make,
And now here we are,
Tears streaming down my face,
You walking away,
Like we never did take place
Leaving me to wonder,
Why I always thought you would love me forever,
What a mistake I made,
Ohhh what a mistake I did make, | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 1:38:12 PM | | Life is like a river A river thats so free Never quite knowing where your at Or where your going to be. Life is like a river With all its ups and downs Speeding through big bad cities Cruizing through small country towns. Life is like a river In especially one way It doesnt matter how tight you hold someone They can always drift away. | |
