The best stanza/line/whatever you have written

Post them here and impress me=)

This is so much fun:P

This is among mine:

His wilting heart withstood not pain,
as he gazed into her eyes.
"To the Golden hall of God, my love,
thy spirit shall arise"

Bob, thats a great stanza you've got there. You could put that one a T-shirt and make serious pounds.

I went low
mostly alone and content with things
yet Butterfly ways show
touching always harms the wings

I love this because it says so much in such a short space...

think this is proabally one of my better stanzas:

"Welcome to my nightmare,
where nothings as it seems,
who knows what is reality,
and what is merely dreams"

Save me I'm drowning,
in this bath full of blood,
save me I'm drowning,
air is no good,

i think this is a little bit deep but its prob the best ive written. XX

Is my strength in my shell, in the realm of reality?
Wounded by the bone of my rib, yet she’s not my marrow?
How could my foolish desire be pleasing thee?

Wave after wave crashes upon my shore
Pain washing over my empty, haunted soul
Things I am feeling chill me to the bone
Grabbing me, an icy claw ripping at my heart
Exposing my deepest emotions tearing me apart

A Ricochet Of Tears
Embezzled All My Pain
As Love Blew Up In Pieces
And Heartache Fell Like Rain
(Last Stanza From "Shattered Kisses")

Thank you Bob!

"God's Angel" (Double reverse Etheree)

"Created special,
To show to all,
Perfection,
Is not,
Love,

Nor,
Is it,
Appearance."

"Remembering The Reason"

"a room of addicts on New Years eve
with motivation to be forever clean
Making promises that most will break
but he’s determined to reach his peace

For a brand new year brings new hope
given to his family and for himself
Only if he remains in this room to heal
and allows himself to let pain go"

those are just a few receint ones of mine that i really like.

this is such a delight to read...

Bob, your stanza is incredible...

Angelina...wonderful...

and everyone else

Battle Weary rocks!!!=)

This is one of my fav`s

When even as you desperately turn your lonely tale
into a piece of sad and forgettable art,
the truth dawns on you again
and again,
and again,
ever brighter
and ever more bitter.

How do you find strength then?
And Where?

Here is one...

What does she mean to me?
I tried to count the thoughts it brings
But, one word can explain it true
To me, she means EVERYTHING

This constant battle that I fight
Is found within my heart
Memories keep haunting me
And it's tearing me apart.

Happy New Year to you too Bob.....

One more:

Striving to get back to where I came from
Not the place I was born as that was a stopping point
Farther back, to where my soul was formed
A time when chivalry was the norm, when people had heart
A time of principle, value, honor, back to the start

I don't know if it's my best, but I'm quite proud of the poem from which this comes from.

People are heard, when to others they listen.
Respect is gained, when respect is risen.
Loud is the voice, that sometimes speaks weakly.
Blessed is the heart, not afraid to love deeply.

You guys are all talented writers, with some really amazing poetry! Great idea for a post!

well... I don't think i have as large of a vocabulary as you guys and girls and i don't think i think as deep... but i have a stanza that i got out of the best poem (in my opinion) that i have written called : I just want to be beautiful...

I know
God created us to look our own ways but
why did I have to be born with this face?
My family says im beautiful But I know its
not true I will spend eternity envying you.

PS: i don't think like this... but i had the idea so i wrote of it...if you want take a look at the poem... and there is a line in it that says something about a TROLL... (i needed a word to rhyme) and i really want to replace that word with something else, if you have suggestions PLEASE tell me.
thanks
