Shy

by Lance Hardy   Oct 8, 2004


I stare in awe,
She smiles, and gah!
My life grows brighter,
My knees strain tighter.
I have longed to speak,
But I feel so bleak.
My words are mapped,
But inside, they are trapped.
She continues on,
Walking further along.
I've lost all hope,
But no time to mope.
I cannot act dumb,
A new time has come.
Oh beautiful girl,
You are my pearl.
You will never know,
How I've longed for you so.
While time will pass by,
I will try and try.
Though I may fail,
I'll follow the rail,
Around the bend,
Until the end.

    "I'll follow the rail.
    Around the bend,"
    for those two lines, I would suggest getting rid of the period after rail, so that it sorta is explained and completed by the next line. Hey I wouldn't worry about the syllables, not all poems need perfect syllables. I think the words you used in your rhymes were very true-to-life, and you did a great job expressing your pent up agony. My favorite lines were:
    "My words are mapped,
    But inside, they are trapped."
    Because I know what you mean by that, it is just you put it so well.
