Ehh... was going to post some today but I didn't because I need to work up the nerve and two of them are lost and I want to find them. My old notebooks, scraps of paper, and last year's school agenda books are sitting on my closet floor and I lost two scraps of paper. lol

You should've have to worry about working up the nerve; we're all supportive people out here.

And yeah, I know the feeling of losing stuff...it's not too fun.

Please post...we're waiting to read!

Aww... I'm sorry. *hugs*

No need to work up the nerve. We're all friendly here. I can't wait to read your poems. I hope you find them.

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd post this one... I wrote this for my wife on her first Valentine's Day.

*********************************************

True Love


Lying here beside you;
In the dark, I hear you breathe.
Feeling you so close beside me;
Closer than I could believe.

Wrapped in your embrace,
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
The pleasant smile upon on your face
You're so beautiful to me.

Slowly try to catch my breath.
Pull you closer, hold you tight.
Never knowing love like this
Love so perfect, Love so right.

With you, I could do anything,
And this is true, I know,
For you I would do anything
But ever let you go.

And cradled in your arms tonight;
I know, I never knew,
That True Love really could be right,
'Til I fell in love with you...

I LOVE your latest, Dinadan and Twrch! They are so cool!

ALL I WANT

May my heart be stomped into a thousand pieces a dozen times over

May my body be wracked with pain, cramped under stress

May my mind be boggled with problems too big for me to handle on my own

May I spend many nights alone in my lonliness, cold, hungry, and afraid

May I be bedridden with a terrible illness, critically injured, frail and weak

May I fail at many things I attempt, sweat for a success only to have it dashed away at the last moment

May I live to see many of my loved ones perish and suffer, feeling their pain along with my own

May I take all my suffering, all my pain, all my troubles and cry out for help, for vengeance, for justice...and may my prayers and pleas go unanswered.

All I ask is that this comes to pass...for a thousand nights of pain make the one sunrise of beauty and pleasure ten thousand times more enjoyable.

May I feel enough pain to enhance my joy.

Great sentiment...

[twyrch]

Wow Booky... That was very deep. Did you write that one?

COI, thanks... I'm glad you liked it. I have a few more I'll post later next week.

[Lady Bookwyrm]

Yeah...it's kinda crappy, b/c I wrote it as I posted...and I was running out the door to go to a party...so...yeah

Well, I don't think it was crappy at all. It was very thought provoking and stirring.

Not bad for an on the spot piece.

[dinadan]

I don't think it's crappy either. It's got a strange sentiment to it that I enjoy--contrasting positive and negative experience, understanding the former through the latter. That's something you don't see too much of these days. Good, solid, outside-the-box thinking.

Just goes to show, we're always our own worst critic.

Keep 'em comin' Booky.

[Lady Bookwyrm]

Well...I'm glad you guys like it, then...thanks to all for the compliments. Yeah...I am very, VERY critical of my own work...I'll post some more on here later.
