Topic: Who We Love
Subject: Who We Love
i debated for a long time whether to share this, but decided in favor of it simply because it feels liberating. idk if anyone else will get something out of it but it is what it is.
Who We Love
There will be no prince charming,
No knight in shining armor,
No tall dark and handsome,
For me.
I'm tired of this lie I live
I'm tired of this shame.
I'm tired of the secrets.
I"m tired of this game.
I want to tell you who I am
I want you to be proud of me.
I don't know if you can.
But please remember
That our love is the same
You love him,
I love her
We're all in love with who we love.
I'm sorry I'm not the woman
You thought I'd grow up to be
I'm sorry that this hurts you
But I'm not sorry for being me
I finally have the freedom
I've wanted my whole life.
It's not a choice, or just a phase,
It's who I am inside
So please remember
That our love is the same
You love him,
I love her
We're all in love with who we love.
You love him,
I love her
We're all in love with who we love.

Topic: Without You
Subject: Without You
This post was inspired by Kriea's poetry. As I was reading her poem, I was absentmindedly picking around on my guitar and this song was born. I asked her permission to use the lyrics, so half the credit for this song goes to her. I hope it touches you as much as it did me.
link to song.

Topic: Motivation.
Subject: Motivation.
i wrote this last night. i don't really know what it is. there's a random mood change in the middle cuz i got angry.you'll prolly be able to tell when that is. other than that..it's self explanatory.
Have you ever felt invisible? Like nobody sees you? Like you are the only person in the world? Like those faces you see and the voices you hear directed towards you are just figments of your imagination? Welcome to my world.
Everyday they walk past me with fake smiles and glazed eyes. To them I'm transparent. A whisper. Part of their conversation but not in it. With them but not belonging. Together yet isolated. Day after day goes by with no change. I am alone. My heart is gone. Shattered in a million pieces and scattered by the wind, never to be restored again. And so apathy sets in. The passion of the past has dissolved. The hope of the future is buried too deep to ever dig up. All that is left is the present.
And yet with nothing left, a small flame still flickers. Anger. Resolve. Desire. Determination. Tear stained eyes focused on the future once again. "They can crush me. They can beat me. They can shun me. They can mock me. But they can't stop me." The flickering candle is now a blazing fury, burning pure white. Fighting the current, the storm, the wind, and the hatred I will overcome. Not just barely, licking my battle wounds. I will explode out of this hellhole leaving everyone else in the dust. And the faces of those who used to stare past me will be a fading memory..invisible.

Topic: Melody of the Heart
Subject: Melody of the Heart
Bright melodies explode into action within the first few measures
Dancing all over the staff, jumping up before crashing down,
Only to slowly climb their way back up again.
Unusual rhythms beat into the heart of the song, causing unexpected periods of rest.
Perfectly blended harmonies melt in sync with the tune,
As all the while an underlying dissonance lies below.
The key switches from Major to minor.
Haunting melodies now grace the stage.
Mournful notes cry out in agony.
No longer is there joyful dancing,
As step by step the song descends
Down.
Suddenly,
A crescendo.
Hope.
The tempo picks up,
Racing along as fast as the wind,
Minds lost in the enchantment of the whirlwind melody.
Following their hearts.
But the music can’t last forever.
Left unnoticed, the darkness surrounds the light
And within seconds, everything crashes down, yet again.
Only this time without recovery.
A few whispering lines are all that remain
The song ends.

Subject: no surprise here..
Amazing as usual. I really like the set up of this one.
Also, I think it's good that you don't know/don't tell us the meaning of it.
A true artist's work can be interpreted in many ways. That makes you a master artist.

Topic: Slightly Unoriginal Reply
Subject: Slightly Unoriginal Reply
This is sortof a reply to Chessicfayth's "The Bracelet" (which if you haven't read yet, stop reading this and read it.) I decided to tell the story from the point of view of the dancing woman. I apologize that it isn't entirely original as it is taking some elements from his story and using them in mine. Let me know what you think.
The waves massaged her feet
As she twirled, mindlessly through the endless stretch of sea.
Day by day the wind carried her farther, leading her to mysterious lands.
At times she would encounter someone, but the meeting would be short.
She was alone. Alone with her thoughts and the sea. Alone with Fate.
The winds changed, spinning her in another direction
And she saw him.
His hurt. His pure heart. His desires. His sadness.
And she knew.
He was the one.
So she gave him the only thing she had, and unable to go with him, wished him well and departed.
The years to come were stormy on the sea.
Confined to the water she was tormented by thoughts of the boy.
Day and night she searched for a glimpse of him again, but their paths never crossed.
Despair had his death grip on her until the winds of Fate intervened yet again.
Her eyes leapt with the last flicker of hope lodged deep in her soul when she saw him.
She paused, sensing the pain he was feeling.
Gathering up all her courage, breaking all the rules, she invited him in.
And they danced.
Twirling, swooping, spinning,
Laughter, joy, peace.
Bittersweet moments.
Happiness.
Time ran out. The last note ended.
Parting time had come and grief overcame her.
Keeping herself under control she managed three words,
“Be happy boy.”
With that, she disappeared into the sunset,
Leaving behind a part of her,
As the salty tears of the man on the beach
Ran into the water that kept her afloat.

speechless..
you're right. they are very situational but you can still feel the emotion behind them. especially the second one. you are quite the poet even if you don't want to admit it. your poems are really honest and people can relate to them.

Thanks to both of you- it's very encouraging.
And Chess- people were just so blown away by yours that they were speechless. That's why mine has a "better reception".

Topic: Aspiring Poetry
Subject: Aspiring Poetry
Here's a poem I wrote tonight. Based on feelings that were pumping through my body. I'm not sure how well they come across in this creation but I just wrote what my heart told me to..
The Other Side of Love
It takes years to tear down walls of fear
Countless assuring moments
To stack the bricks of trust
Step by step we climb the vines
Victoriously arriving atop.
Vulnerable and unguarded lies my heart
Helpless against the winds of fate
The slightest breeze of doubt
Knocks me off the wall
Left to make the treacherous climb once again.
I fell off the wrong side
Onto the hard cold ground
I climb as fast as I can
Wanting the warmness and comfort
Instead feeling aching and hurt.
Truth dawns as the top again is reached
There is no wrong side of the wall
While one is more desired
Both are necessary, both are good
Both are love.

Wow. Both poems are breathtaking. You are so good at expressing emotion. As I was reading them I could feel what you were feeling. You have an amazing gift with words. My psychic abilities sense that there are more poems in your future.
