Right... well, the last one went so well that I decided to start up a new poetry thread!!
So I guess I'll start .... this poem is one of my newest poems ...
Fallen
Am I such a fool To fall for you again? If I had a choice, perhaps I wouldn't clutch your hand So tightly, But all you have to do Is say "Hello" And i'm yours. Or don't say anything at all, For just seeing you Fuels my captured soul. You've kidnapped me And i've let you do it. But I can't help it, I turn to jelly in your presence, Your eyes burn holes in my soul, You hold me captive With your gaze, your smile. And I just can't help it, I'm in love with you.

Some people come into our lives, show us love then dissappear, leaving footprints on our hearts... and we are never the same again."

I'd like to recite something by one of my favorite kid poets...Shel Silverstein...
Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy Jane... She wants a drink, so she waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits for it to rain.

Here's a medieval-style song that I wrote for one of my short stories. It's untitled in the story, but I think I'll title it "Song of the Blue Birds".
There was a Dragon of noble rank Who loved an elven maid. Everyday by the river bank He met her in a glade. The blue birds sing of this tale, A tale of one joyful love.
The Dragon disguised as a warrior Who always strove to win. The maiden loved her warrior, Oblivious of a Dragon within. The blue birds sing of this tale, A tale of one faithful love.
Finally the Dragon released The truth beneath his fa�ade. Fearfully, she disbelieved And accused him of a fraud. The blue birds sing of this tale, A tale of one woeful love.
Forevermore the maiden wept For the return of her valiant knight. Forevermore the Dragon kept Waiting for his beloved sight. The blue birds sing of this tale, A tale of one eternal love.
I have two other worthy songs, but I'm not gonna give them away all at once, am I?
------------------ "I have come to the conclusion that one man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a congress! And by God I have had this Congress!" --John Adams, "1776"
Fear is a friend Of mind and walks Beside me with Long Earthcovering Strides. From a Far flickering light, My friend casts A shadow that Mixes with mine. They become one On the wall; The shadow moves When I move; Goes where I go.
Fear is a friend Of mine; I think I'll take him out For a beer.
------------------ Mine is the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

I just wrote this a few hours ago. It isn't really done yet. Or maybe it is. The first line is borrowed from an exercise.
Pomegranates don't grow on trees, but Men do. Their fruit is malignant, twisting Picked at by gruesome shadows Whose collective nature forms a shroud Buzzing and boiling It hides their face, terrible And haunting. But the shape remains

This one is for J&S. And if you know me then you know what i'm talking about...
"Nothing Left At All"
I can see it coming a mile away What you did behind the bushes today You can lie to me till the sky will crack You think you�re so smart but you come running back
Don�t look for absolution from me Don�t seek forgiveness from me There�s nothing left at all for you to say I�ll be happier when i�m far from you someday
Don�t try to threaten me with your ways Your threats are nothing but a drunken maliase You can promise me you�ll give it up But I know it�s all a lie when you sneak it in your cup
You can beg and plead all you want You can cry and feel sorry but just don�t... Don�t expect me to stick around Just to watch you hit the ground
Don�t look for sympathy from me Don�t seek pathetic hopes from me There�s nothing left at all for you to say I�ll be happier when i�m far and away You�re too happy when you�re in a daze You�re too sick to wanna change your ways There�s nothing left at all for you to say I�ll be happier when i�m far and away
------------------ Goodnight my love...the brightest star in my sky...
Goodnight...you have been my sky, my sun and my moon...

well, Someone you all know very well. *GRIN* (sorry, that's all I'm allowed to say )
To my ashk'e, with love....
I love the way you love me
I love the way you hold me in your arms so gently, As if I were so fragile, You could break me With your strong embrace.
I love the way you touch me Softly with your hands, As if I were a work of art, You want to memorize With your touch.
I love the way your lips Kiss me so tenderly, As if you'll drown me with your passion, If you don't hold it at bay.
I love the way your eyes Enthrall me and invade my inner soul, As if you want to burn my face, Into your memory.
I love the way your voice Can soothe my resltess soul, I love the way you make me feel, Your half that makes me whole.
I love the way you love me.
*goes to bounce off the walls and be happy now*
