Ok, I'm a big poet, mostly either about Love or Depression, heh.....


This one I wrote quite some time ago.... it makes me sad everytime I read it, heh....


A bright light in a world of darkness,
A glorious moon in a starless sky.
I'd spend eternity with strangers,
for a moment with you.

Life was not worth living,
Hell was just around the bend.
Then you crossed me path,
and the demons scurried away.

You make my steps worth walking.
You make heaven seem closer than before.
You light up my life like a flame.

I want to feed off your words,
I smile when you smile at me.
We could talk for hours,
but the silence is the part I love.

You don't really now me.
I'm afraid you wouldn't understand.
My ways are so unlike yours,
it might scare you away.

Why can't I say "I love you"?
Why won't I let myself?
My head is so confused.
I'm not sure what to do.


This part I added on to the poem later:

This is what love is.
Its a pain in my side.
I still believe in it,
no matter what happens to me.

Your radiant beauty surpasses all others.
Your wonderful smile could melt a rock.
My heart beats in rhythm to your breath.
And my love for you will never die.

That can't be what love is.
I'm too young to love.
Infatuation or perhaps a crush.
But this is not love.

It could be love, how would I know?
I can't describe what love is.
This has never happened before,
and I wish it would go away.

Its not that I don't want love.
Its not that you couldn't be the one.
Its that the pain is tearing me apart inside.

I want to hold you.
I want to watch you walk.
I'd settle for the smallest thing,
if only I knew you were alive.

So you fall for another guy,
thats fine, I can wait.
He won't last forever and he might just be a pawn.

How do I know whether you like me?
Do you think of me and write about me?
Have you ever lied in bed thinking of when we'd meet again?

I hide away in a dark corner,
I protect my thoughts and secrets.
I spend my days thinking of something I'm too afraid too admit.

What an enchanting poem..it smacks of emotion *sigh* With a talent like this, Jabberwock, you have my vote to be Emperor of the Known universe anytime http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/wink.gif
I share something I wrote some time ago with you:

<center> º YOU...º

Your beautiful mouth
Gives me the feeling
That it has to be kissed
Although I have never seen it

Your beautiful eyes
Reflect the walls of fire
That are burning in your heart

And I have to look into them
Drowning inside your fires
Although I have never seen them

Your voice fills me up with
Joy and pain at once
Because I want to hear it

I have asked you to permit me
To touch Your heart
But in reality you have
Touched mine before

Every second I miss you
Lasts years for me
But it is worth this pain
When I am with you

I cannot tell you often enough
That I love you
I cannot tell you often enough
That I want to be with you

But that is nothing compared
To you when you open your mouth
And your words touch me

It is nothing compared
To you when you open your eyes
And I catch fire

And our flames shall ignite
Our world as well as the sky
And our love will win
Over everything between us</center>

You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms. The rim of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, and your heart, as it was then, will be on fire...

JHowse : vast wells of imagery exist in words - I but dipped into it and said it my way. That you appreciate that, is a lovely compliment and I thank you http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif
Jabberwock : Read your poem again. It is profound. Have you written any others you may wish to share? If so, pleade do! The part you added...*sigh* Exquisite http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif My favourite poets are Sylvia Plath, Byron and Poe. Yours? Don't you sometimes feel frustrated that you cannot express almost ANYTHING in a new way? One almost always feels like a plagiarist dripping with guilt because your words simply reflect what many have said before. Better.
Anyway, I write because it relaxes me and I can give expression to both my Ligt- and darkside http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif

Actually, I find even vaster wells of imagery in music than in words, for it is here that you can be original.

At any rate, I'm no great poet, but I did post my take on love, a while back:
