The Wind That Tell

Last spring the wind did lightly blow
beneath horizons left aglow,
A silent breath out of the east
brought me tidings ere it ceased.

Through the leaves it told the tale
of things that are that soon shall fail.
"Thy home shall not forever last"
Said it to me before it passed.

T`was so I saw the end of such
as I had come to treasure much,
by waning moon and rising sun
it dawned on me what must be done

I had to leave, for loth I was
to witness such a bitter loss,
and with the roaming birds above
did I too leave that which I love

I wandered far, and found the sea,
as birds of passage beckoned me.
and by the beach was laid a boat,
by some strange chance there left afloat.

I entered it, though torn in two
I set my sail, turned `round, and threw
my final glance upon the coast
that ever I did treasure most.

Then I fell into a dream,
in which I saw a single gleam,
that clearly shone upon a shore
and then I was asleep no more.

Before me was a land, and lo!
upon it wandered to and fro,
a blear-eyed man, bent with time,
the wisdom in his eyes, sublime.

I set my boat ashore, and said,
"Hello, old man", he raised his head,
and turned around and spoke to me,
"How blind of you to cross the sea"

Enlighted by the dawning sky
his tired eyes caught mine, and I,
I saw his fate, alike to mine
and felt our very souls entwine.

For within this man was laid a truth
that he too learned through flaws of youth,
and thus could teach to me this day,
when I did sail my boat astray.

"Do not wilt when life does change,
and see what's fair 'tween known and strange.
Do never take too lightly on
such as grows when all has gone."

Thus having spoke, the old man sighed,
and with the turning of the tide,
Within my boat he set his feet,
to sail, and I felt bittersweet.

For though the truth I learned was great,
I grieved to know my lonely fate
Bound to stray upon this shore,
to see my homeland nevermore.

I love your choice of words!
Well done EoB!
Anyone else? Its a hard match but try =)

I'll meet you again...in Heaven...
by ~Łost ₣airy~

My life wasn't complete till the day I met you,
You give me strength to go through this,
My life, my family, my friends, and you,
There wasn't a day when I don't feel bliss.

I love you, is what I say each and every day,
I never did grew tired or bored of the word,
And I will call you every second just to say hey,
It's because in my eyes you are just like a bird.

The minute I saw your face in that crowded place,
I knew you were the one that I've been searching,
To me you are an angel that no one else can ever replace,
For each time I thought of you, I will be dancing.

I will never forget how lovely and kind you were,
The way you melt my heart with the heart of yours,
You were always the one, whom I'll prefer,
No matter if you are a human or if you have turn into a corpse.

I can still picture your face the very day I met you,
Your hair is straight and your eyes are beautiful,
When you turn and look at me, I immediately went blue,
Ever since then my life has never been so sorrowful.

My dear it has been a year since you left me,
But the memory of yours I will always cherish,
No matter how much tears I've dropped into the sea,
The times we spent together will never perish.

I don't know if you can hear me from there,
But I will try my luck, to tell you this,
That I still love you that I can swear,
And to let you know how much I miss your kiss.

The Elegy of the Lovers
by HansRik

I cannot say in words how much I've loved
For words help not t'express the lover's wish.
Canst thou not see the pain of being unloved?
Or more the languid dolence we anguish?

Now I have lost yon opportunity,
The fire of love has burned this heart of mine
Crying, waning, yonder atrocities
Committed for love, for this thought of thine.

But I shall make myself an oak that stands
Upon thy doors and howls thy name fore'er.
And nevermore this pain will understand,
The love I have for thee, my dear girl.

The hills that sing and dream about thy love
Think not that they shall be eroded, yea,
The willows chant their elegy forgone,
And rot in fetid, rancid ideals.

And walkest thou in vainest thoughts and lies,
Laughing at the trees and hills that, for you, died.
Waiting for mine heart to expire its last sighs.

How beautiful thou seem'st outside,
The sun is but a phantom by thy side.

But nay!

Thy soul is cruel and cold, like the darkest night.

Home - Confessions of a Broken Heart

I've learned home isn't a building or structure,
Or a place to hang your hat.
It isn't numbers that make up an address,
Or anything to do with a welcome mat.

I've learned home isn't a location,
Or place made to lay your head.
It isn't about a yard or garden,
Or table where bellies are fed.

I've learned home isn't a setting,
Or a beach house on the sand.
It isn't built with money,
Or materials used with laboring hands.

I've learned home is a tender melody,
Played between two hearts.
It happens inexplicably,
From when the music starts.

I've learned home is a place of joy,
Decorated with the finest things in life.
It's there with a smile or goofy grin,
Or tears that fall at hard times and strife.

I've learned home is a place of peace,
With purposeful natural design.
Warming the heart and healing the soul,
From gloomy days when the sun doesn't shine.

I've learned home is a place of love,
With a porch light brightly lit.
A door that opens without effort,
For a key that perfectly fits.

Sadly...

I've learned home is where you are,
But I didn't arrive on time.
No porch light was on to light my way,
And no open door did I find.

I regret not speaking while I had the chance,
The words "I love you" way back when.
But I'm blessed you taught me the meaning of home,
and thankful and ok being your friend.

These are confession of a broken heart.

A picture lays on the table
As color begins to fade away
Memories of us are still fresh
As if we just took it today

It seemed like so long ago
When we would sit down and chat
We used to get into so much trouble
We were the happiest little brats

Best friends forever
Together till the end
We were there there for each other
Your sorrows i would mend

We grew up together
Time flew so fast
Despite the changes in surroundings
Our friendship had no contrast

We were joined at the hips
All the people would say
But it broke my heart
To see you go away

You took away your life
It was too hard for you
You couldn't take it anymore
So your life you threw

I still remembered that night
You cried on the phone
You didn't know what to do
You felt so alone

I rushed over to you
I knew something was wrong
You used to be so cheery
You used to be so strong

I found you on the floor
Your body lifeless and cold
A little knife by your side
A letter in your hand i started to unfold

Smothered in blood
Told the story trapped inside
The pain you felt
The tears you've cried

I held you in my arms
You looked so pale
My angel
You've turned so frail

That memory broke my heart
One year has passed
But you're still my angel
Our friendship will last

The Secret Only I Can Keep

The secret only I can keep
Is who has truly changed me
Is it my mother, my father
Or my friends that help me fly free?
Who has really torn away
The threads that washed me dry
Who has turned my tears into
The sweetest loving smile?
Who has ruined me
And yet built me up?
Do you yet know what I do know
Who's really helped me through this stuff?
Who is my enemy
That threatens my entire life
Who is my most trusted love
I can depend on everytime?
It's only one person
That reminded myself of the true me
It's the person being put down
By each and every broken dream
It's the one that loves and cherishes
That can crush desire into dust
The one who has ignored
All the meaningless lust
I know who it is
But it's my own secret
I wish you could know too
But would you keep it?
Who is my savior, my role model, my rock
Who is the one who has been through a lot?
My protector
My love
My life
My friend
My enemy
My shield
My sword
My story
The person I can always depend on, even if I don't say it....
Is...

Me.

Wow, this is really hard choice, give me time to decide

After a Fight

All alone,
can you feel the pain,
everything just cant be washed away like the rain,
you sit alone and think,
should i,
should i not,
thou can not help to think what he/she can not ponder,
making the hard decision to stay alive,
make your thoughts past not once but twice,
knowing in your heart you know whats right,
people just think they can change your life,
but now you think,
look what they have raised me to become,
a person within is just waiting to rise again,
the times get vicious to much on your mind,
all you can wonder is who or what is mine,
loosing track of time,
you have none to waste,
you pick up your knife in shameful haste,
one direct incision,
can make it all just turn to tears,
hoping you can take you life,
putting all the pain behind you,
letting it all go,
but you stop and think,
you know you have to stay,
theres someone wanting you,
all you can do is say no to the blade,
because the girl you love,
you promised never to let her down,
to always be there for her,
to cheer her up when she is down,
to make her feel like she is wearing a crown,
to always love her,
you take the knife and you throw it forth,
the knife hits the wall,
and bounces back shattered in half like your life,
you take a breath,
you grab the phone,
you dial the number,
you set things straight,
everything is perfect,
everything is great,

~~this poem is dedicated to my girlfriend Bianca!!~~

Conversation Between Life / Death & My Soul

LIFE ASKED DEATH

MY SOUL TOLD LIFE & DEATH
i think i have played role for both of you now

MY SOUL REPLIED

My poem is titled "Last First Kiss"

Never in my life,
Had I felt as good as this
it was a love short lived,
Which ill forever miss.

For a moment in time
The world had stopped moving
I was caught in the best
What then, was I proving?

It was all so cliche,
How fast he had my heart,
But things dont last forever
How soon, it was torn apart.

I just dont understand what happened
It seemed so perfect, or so I thought,
We kissed that night ,
It just seemed so right,
To me, it really meant a lot.

After that night, I waited so long
To hear his voice once more,
But he avoided me, and forgot I could feel
It was his last walk out of my door.

When we used to hang out,
Hed tell me how shy I would be
And to just say what I was feeling inside
But its not me, its him
That needs to grow up and see
That his silence just makes me cry

I just want him to say, why he left me this way
Without a single word of goodbye
His truthful words would have caused hurt feelings
But his silence hurts more than a lie.

I just long for the day to see him again
To show him the hurt hes endured to my soul
To make him realize, what hes done to my heart
The piece ill never get back, which he stole.

When I see him around I Hope he realizes
He lost the best thing he could have had,
But I want him so much,
despite how he broke my heart,
for eternity, ill forever be sad.

But I wont say a word
I will just let him slip away
What I thought I had, I have lost
Hes gone from my life,
Its something Ill forever miss
Ill always remember him.
And our Last, first kiss.

... When will the results be announced?

lisa.. perhaps 2 days is more than over??

I read all of these poems and they were great! Good job everyone!

Well I don't know if this contest is over or not but oh well, here's my poem anyway...

Promises that you made,
But failed to keep.
The sincerity in your voice,
Made me fall deep.

Words that you said,
Did you mean them or not?
I expected too much,
And deserved what I got.

What started as innocent,
Ended in pain.
The happiness you brought,
I could not maintain.

In times we didn't speak,
The reasons were not clear.
Despite what you did,
I will always be here.

The feelings rush back,
When I see you.
Secretly hoping,
That you feel it too.

I'm edging into this again,
Without any blinders on.
The last time this happened,
I blinked and you were gone.

I'm not expecting much this time,
Seems you like to let me down.
Say you like to see me smile,
Yet always make me frown.

I will just sit here waiting.
Will you notice what you use to see?
Beginning to think what he said was right,
You are just using me.

Knowing me, a sucker for pain,
I'll wait around anyway.
I will just be here hanging
Off every word you say.
