Waves crash
Winds whisper
Snow tumbling
Rain falls
Each one so natural
Like a rose.
Each one fighting for its existence to be known
People too entertained by drama
To notice the beauty of each of these
The waves aren?t crashing they are kissing the shore showing its loneliness when it?s swept away
The winds aren?t howling they are whispering there love
The snow isn?t tumbling its dancing its way home
The rain isn?t falling its jumping with joy to be able to reunite with the rest of the sea.
People don?t take the time to think about this.
But I have.
That?s why I?m one with the waves
That?s why I smile in the wind
That?s why I dance with the snow
And why I jumping in the rain.
Wow I absolutely loved it. I loved the way you used the elements, it all flowed nicely!
Oh man I'm so into poetry can I join *^*

I believe where there's a will there's a way. I believe that life is about taking chances. I believe that you never know if you don't try. I believe that with God anything is possible. I believe we owe everything to God. I believe faith should be a person's strongest belief. I believe prayer should be a priority. I believe family comes first. I believe acts of curiosity can revive another's happiness. I believe the lord forgives us for our sins. I believe mistakes mature, teach, and help people to grow wiser. I believe God creates everyone with the perfect significant other, they just have to find them. I believe that everyone deserves to be in love. I believe all girls should have class. I believe a baby can brighten up anyones life. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe we should all be blessed that we are alive. I believe everyone deserves respect. I believe in trust after mistakes. I believe it's unhealthy for anyone to be alone. I believe love can save lives. I believe that a bestfriend is always there for you, even when they know you are wrong. I believe you could never be too curtious. I believe forgiveness should always be granted. I believe that you should forgive, but never forget. I believe life is too short to hold grudges. I believe a smile can make someones day. I believe the best things in life are family, friendship, and love.
I feel i'm loosing control.
My hands are getting sweaty, there slippin.
My grip is getting weak.
My body begins to shake.
I can't hold on much longer but, wait..
For my fate is fadin away.
How much more can I take?
Will you be there in the end? Should I even wait?
I'm falling oh so very fast, I don't expect a catch...
I do expect a fall.
I feel so very small.
What a big world after all.
Now let me go i'll be okay.
I have this world wrapped around my finger... Twice.
@BeautifulMessimin -- LOVEthe last two lines -- wonderful!
One quality which is mostly looked askance,
one trait which could be a form of clairvoyance,
one which could only be found by chance,
is none other than munificence,
more commonly known as generosity,
being a mere function of alacrity as well as nobility,
is one of the many nice traits, which in terms of abundance, is nothing short of scarcity.
This poem is about a bird who feels bright
in the middle of the night.
She flies and dances with freedom and joy
in the night
which is quiet and bright.
Bound to live in dark
Bound to lose...
Whilst she desires to taste the day light
which always ends with a doom in her life.
She has mastered in every subject along with her utmost shyness
but except in finding real happiness.
She believes in love,
which she considers worthwhile.
She dreams about the boy
who, she thinks would heal her and
bring her the real joy.
Being naive and shy,
there is no malice in her heart.
She, who has feelings for everyone
doesn't have one for herself.
She is obscured by the gloomy thoughts
which she allows to swallow all her liberty
to chase her beautiful dreams.
She knows, that she now needs someone
to express all the deep sorrows in her heart
but, she doesn't like to vex anyone.
She finds light in the gloomy night
dreaming about the boy with might.
Eventhough she has yet to meet him,
she awaits with a gleam of hope.
Dear @theSciKid,
This poem evokes a lovely picture of yearningand hope. The images of shyness and need for healing and love make my heart ache.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.
:) no problem
Before you come;
Mix the scent of birch trees,
Gunpowder and
Fresh, mowed grass.
Rub grey apathy
And a breath of sunburnt hay
Onto theredness
Of somnolent poppies.
Lay the stillness of a Dumka
On the purplesuffering
Of an imminent sunset
Inside the Gypsy voices
At last, beloved,
Find me
In the prison of thoughts
Braided into a spider web
Of doubt and
Swallowed tears
Then, alas, you'll know
The scents, faces and sounds
Of a long lost
Halychyna
@NataliaNectarineBeautiful!
By the way, I looked up the word Halychyna, and it seems to be a place in Ukraine that was once in Poland. Terrible battlegrounds.
I'm glad you liked it :D
Yes, it is a historical region between Poland and Western Ukraine, but there is no such thing any more. And I was born in Lviv, so...yes. It's a place that's more of an imaginary land than a piece of history.
She ran out
Of tears to shed...
So she forced her skin
To do it instead...
Eyses with tears Mind full of fears Skin with blood Am i that bad? Monsters are not under my bed Its inside my head They want reality But my life will be fatality Death is not the solution But its always an option Just think that dying Is a start of a new beginning
