eternity_________________
the stars that shine
bright in the sky
will, in due time,
fall and be gone
taking their place
is another
knowing it's fate
but there is one
one lonely star
that remains there
a sign of hope
it will not fade
eternity
shine in midair

your tires squeal against the pavement..
saying, "goodbye,
i just can't love you anymore."
with an apathetic attitude
i'm thinking 'what a mistake..'
but who cares?
i don't need you anyways.
that dress you bought for me
looks good on my best friend.
the ring you wouldn't take back,
wonder how much money i could get.
and thanks for supporting my pyromania,
our pictures give me something to burn.
you'll come crawling back to me
i'll laugh when you say your lesson's learned.

Nice poems. I can see you put a lot of feeling into them.

I appreciated much the last one!:)

OMG! WOW! You sure do write a lot of poetry. Ever tried rhyme schemes or do you always write free verse? :confused:

i've tried rhyming but it's a little harder to get my point across then. lol

any scheme ideas?

I'm mostly for the seven syllable a b a b. That's tougher than the a b c b scheme but it gives more poetic grace. Seven syllable is easier to write than eight.

You're right though, free verse is best suited for deep emotions. Somehow though after a while it just seems to me like bent prose when I write it. I'd much rather fancy a well written essay at times. I've always been pro-rhyme scheme from the start. The challenge just eggs me on to write it better ^_^.

Keep those great poems coming IDF! :vsign:

Courage______________________
she stands on the shore
watching the rise and the fall of the tide
alone and wearing her heart on her sleeve

the white tips of the wave reminds her
of the sparkle in his eyes
and the sunset is his smile
it makes her heart beat
the sand between her thin fingers
it is the way their hands interlaced
like the last time they said goodbye

she's walking towards the water
and the pain hurts a little more
she says, "it's so stupid", what she's doing this for

a sigh is released as she walks closer
the water is at her knees
she takes a leap of courage
and lets herself go

her body is screaming for help
her heart is saying "no,"
the air from her lungs has vanished
and it's starting to show

he stands on the shore
watching the rise and the fall of the tide
he regrets what he said to her
and wishes he had the courage to apologize

Our Salty Moon_________
Let's sit beside the sea.
No one else,
Just you and me.
Let's dig our bare feet
Into the taupe sand.
Let's let the waves crash onto us
As we sit together, hand in hand.
Let's forget the world.
Tonight, all we need is each other.
Your chest is my pillow,
The midnight sky is my cover.

Winter Love_________________
A snow covered forest stands still
Two pairs of footprints make a secret trail
The ground crunches below us
Colossal trees become so very frail
Hand in hand together
All but our hearts are cold
A touch like a heat wave in winter
No feelings are left untold
The last two people on earth
Or so we seem to be
My eyes carefully focused on you
And yours steadily on me
