EVERYONE WANTS HAPPINESS,😁
NO ONE WANTS PAIN;😭
BUT U CAN'T HAVE A RAINBOW🌈
WITHOUT A LITTLE RAIN.☔⚡
Never misuse the one
Who likes you....
Never say busy to the one
Who needs you......
Never cheat the one
Who really trusts you......
Never forget the one
Who always remembers you.!
@PluckyStrawberries3154, This sounds like really great advice, the best!
In a cold, lonely room,
She sits on the ground.
The tears pouring down her cheeks,
The pain in her eyes.
every night,
the same.
She doesn't know and,
maybe she never will.
But as she sits,
You stand
very
still.
sorry if it's horrible! I made it up as I went so I hope you guys like it (:
Thank you for sharing with us here. Will you be posting more of your poetry here?
@beautifulwaterfall101, I like it, especially like the last three lines! There is a shift and the poem takes on a stillness, just as the person is still. Very cool.
Too late
@amymarie17, One of the saddest things is when a parent, who's supposed to love and protect us, is unable to love us the way we need. Your poem really captures that sorrow.
I have sat beside the functional magnetic resonance
Imagining machines as part of what I do for dollars.
And I have looked at screens light up with colors
Instead of the source of light itself.
What the heck.
@shoegazing
Interesting thoughts! :)
Prelude
Move your lips
three breaths
towards
the sundown,
where I hide
all my secrets
beneath the padlock of my earring
embroidered with the gold,
silky thread
of sunlight.
I adore the sound of this and the unexpected turns of phrase!
Maybe I'm not much of a poet:
I might know it...
Just wanted to share,
That I really do care...
About the poetry shared here,
to me, this thread is so dear
Thank you to every poet that has posted here.
i don't know much about poetry but i wrote this around may!!
on your birthday I would spend time with you
you'd always talk idle talk
and I liked it every word of it
maybe we could've gone for a walk
though I love being in my room
I always know but I am always lonely too
i remember sitting in white stone
next to you for a while
whistling wind it was all sun and it made me smile
what an idiot i was
thank you for reading.
I like this poem. It tells an interesting story. I can almost hear their conversation, see her sitting there. The feelings expressed here are finely delineated and very real.
Monster made of mistakes
Why be myself
I'm fragile
I'm broken
I get tore down
Exposed for everyone to see
They see all my tears
All of my scars
All of my failures
And from this
I've grown into something I hate
I'm a monster made of mistakes
@pikachu12398, Oh, this poem gets to my heart. Please don't believe these things. You are not a monster. You are beautiful.
Dusty Pages
Grievous hurt by my own hand,
Has dealt a brutal blow.
When does pain that runs so deep,
Ever cease to flow?
I once could walk upon the shore,
Staring at the placid sea,
But alas the tide has slid away,
As if taunting me.
The castle I built for you my true
Is gone for evermore,
You with all my hopes and dreams,
Escaped through the shattered door.
I often strummed the haunting tune,
Of what we might have been,
As the gnarled and crooked hand of his,
Kept pointing out my sin.
Alas, I stood and walked ahead,
With a steady but cautious gate,
To amble down the dusty trail,
Before I miss my fate.
My star to north that guided me,
When I was cold and lost,
Has led me to a better place,
Despite the grisly cost.
I gaze the sky and watch the moon,
Rise up from her sleepy rest.
Are you watching too my dear,
Are you East or West?
I wash the wreckage of my life,
To make a soft warm place,
For you to lay whilst in my arms,
Protected by God's good grace.
@Seany7411 - This is beautiful and warm and comforting. Thank you.
