1.)Do You Hear?

Do you hear my broken heart
Calling out for you to mend
Each fragile peice and mangled part
In pain suspending end from end?
In hopeless words surrendered I
My heart and soul forever yours
And in each thought these words apply
This pain occurs, this pain endurs
Incurring tears from empty eyes
Suffering within each moment
Without hope of compromise
Nor reparation or atonement
Do you hear, oh do you hear?
Did this not your soul impact?
Don't you long to hold me near
To help me keep this soul intact?
You promised me, you promised that
Forever couldn't hold us in and
Even though the world weren't flat
You'd walk with me off it's end
Yet, seems that through this ruined vow
You've left me with a heart that's broken
If only you could hear me now
Calling out with words unspoken

2.)Short Story

If only the words that lie inside,
Openly would show,
Than you would see the pain subside,
And how I love you so,
But here I stay where I am well,
Away from all the pain,
Here in my heart-broken hell,
Where living is but vain,
And my only hold on life,
Beats within my chest,
Pierced, as if it were a knife,
Heartbroke and at unrest,
Doctor, won't you check my pulse,
To see if I'm alive,
Is this life or is this false,
And how could I survive,
For life without it's reason,
Is that even life at all,
Living only for the season,
As passes summer to fall,
Is there life beyond that place,
Where you dream to be,
Why must I the future, face,
This futures not for me,
So give me life in all its wonder,
Give me air to breathe,
Give me hope to cast asunder,
Upon the day you leave,
Give me pain and give me hell,
Above all of these things,
Give me a short story to tell,
For death the future brings.

Hard to choose my two best. I have about three that are my favorites. But these two are my most recent. The other one would be Succumb. Hope you enjoy.

3) Lying Under The Stars

Lying Under The Stars
Waiting for the perfect moment
To call you my own
This was no accident

For I love you
More and more each day
I can't believe this view
Out here by the bay

It is beautiful
Just like you
The sky so colorful
Almost as if it was drew

Looking at you so deeply
I move in for the kiss
Touching your lips amply
Hands in hands, what a heavenly bliss

Holding you tight
Not wanting to let go
Thinking what a perfect night
As we sit there in aglow

4) Starlight Night (Reprise)

Starlight night
shining ever so bright
take my hand
by the calmness of the moonlight

As we walk
hand in hand
I ask you this
as you look at the stars

Will you be mine?
I know I've waited a long time
come with me
I have something to show

Sit here in the ever so soft
light of the night
look at the stars reflection on the water
as I seek you with this soft melody of mine

I glance at you
as you look at me
our eyes meet
and we can't separate

I start to play that soft melody of mine
as you sit and sip your wine
we start to intertwine

your warmth next to me
listening to the sea
I can't help but to agree
This is the place to be

you make me feel so right
on such a beautiful night
being here with you
is such a delight

As I turn to look you in the eyes
you say "you are not like all the other guys
that people speak of
you are one of a kind."

very nice poems :) wow.. keep it up guys!
keep them coming!!

5) ~Unanswered~

Was it that hard
to forget my face,
am I that easily forgotten
like a star without a name?

Did you not fall
when I stumbled for you,
are you really that grounded
like a statue in the rain?

Did I scare you away
with my transparent poetry,
am I really that bloody
like a murderess eating hearts?

Did you escape
when I turned around,
are you really that mysterious
like a magician's slight of hand?

Will I wallow in vain
in the wondering essence of you,
am I really that senseless
like a woman gone insane?

Are my eyes forever stung
with the one who slipped away,
are you really that admirable
like a hero in his grave?

6) ~Spit my heart out~

They say that every man steals
some poor womans heart away
and I've got one thing left
that you can't have, my voice.

This hollow chest haunts me
with it's absent beat,
and I can hear the creaks and moans
of my lonely mind wanting.

My imprisoned heart sleeps in a cell
labeled "foolish hostage"
and it's too weak to loosen these chains
for an elaborate escape.

Poetic words pour out like cheap wine
inside the chambers of your heart,
overflowing your capacity to love
and I only thought you could handle me.

So take my heart and swallow my words
chew it up then spit it out,
now it's time for me to do some fishing,
for every piece of my slobbery heart.

aww.. very good poems! i especially love this line in the second poem "for every piece of my slobbery heart." hehe.. i dont know why, but it made me laff.. :)

keep them coming guys!!

7) Intoxicated - by dhaval

The weather beaten garden clock betrays some laziness
The once precise hands have now grown rhythm-less

The laced hammock sways beneath the winking stars
And the silver moonlight floods the dale of flowers

But something strikes my heart as I lie in that light
Enveloped in the velvet silence of this queer night

The dancing flame of fire still burns the candle wick
The bottle of cherry wine`s smashed by a drunken kick

The wind is steady; blows strong without a change
But somehow this heart of mine has never felt as strange

But now my thoughts chase each other to victory
And I finally understand the cause of my misery

On this very hammock she used to be in my embrace
I`d kiss her till she fell asleep, exhaling on my face

On this quiescent trail we had patted smiling flowers
Invented sailing hearts by connecting the stars

Between these very hills our winter moons had sunk
We`d break the wine bottles each time we got drunk

The butterflies had blushed upon seeing our first kiss
Laying on the fresh-cut grass, enclosed in a smitten mist

And now I lie, drunk, with wine and memories of two
I hope missing her is not something I must get used to

The air of strangeness transforms to a glacial breath
This new life of loneliness is in fact a living death

The wind puts out the candle, darkness adds to gloom
Even the gusts bring the rosy scent of her perfume

And as it intoxicates me, my eyes turn to scour
I look around for her, until I realize she is afar

And each time a star dives, this heart of mine believes
And searches for her, once again, amidst the mocking breeze...

8) Dying For A Rose

She looks in the mirror
Clutching her cold knife
Tears falling uncontrollably
She's ready to take her life

Never before has she been loved
The emotion had never been shown
Until one day he said it
He told her over the phone

He couldn't live without her
He said she had to be his
He was longing for her touch
He wanted to taste her kiss

The promise was made
His love would never die
He promised to be around forever
He promised never to make her cry

She's crying now
His promise was shattered
Her heart broken
Her emotions are battered

He said he'd come for her
When she would not know
He promised a gift of love
The gift of a red rose

He never came
He had found someone new
She was no longer his true love
He didn't give a hint, not a clue

The day he crossed her
The day her future became her past
Would be the beginning of the end
This day would be her last

Blood spills to the floor
Her body now froze
An innocent life was taken
All because of a red rose

9) Treasure

Tears stream down my cheek
I watch you fly away
To a kingdom unknown
A paradise of better days

A place of love is your stay
Emotions haunt nevermore
Sin is not a fear here
Surroundings so pure

Lies are no longer an issue
The truth is what you find
No more rage and hatred
Peace too complicated for the human mind

So comforting for me now
The memories we shared
Close to my heart they stay
Forget them I wouldn't dare

To the end of my days
I'll mourn you forever
You were my only love
My only true treasure

hey um like wat if its a poem about like losing someone that you loved..cuz they like died..?

A year ago...
by J. Lau

A year ago...
I told you I had feelings for you,
That it's something I cannot control.
Your heart was occupied,
So you never felt any sparks.
Friends it is we agreed,
For we both treasure this new friendship,
That was clearly meant to be.

A year later...
My feelings for you never faded,
I held onto a dream... of being with you someday.
The situation is complicated,
Yet you took me pass the limit.
I finally shared my secret thoughts,
And showed you a couple of my poems.
You claim that we are impossible,
That all that happened was a mistake.
Emotions felt were only mixed confusions,
That I need to forget and erase.

A year of waiting...
A weekend of hope... and now memories.
Feelings that were once burried,
Must now disinigrate forever.
Your heart was never truly healed,
For your hopes never gave in.
Living our own wishful dream,
Crying our own painful cries.
Friends I wish not,
Cause I truly want you to be by my side.
Yet I promised to step back our friendship,
In fear of loosing that only chance to hold onto...
A dream... from a year ago.

Friends it is we claim,
But how true will it remain?
Can a friendship be broken by love?
Can feelings and emotions truly be undone?
Only time will tell...
In the year to come.

Lost in the city
by J. Lau

Wandering aimlessly,
In a city full of people.
So lost...
Mindless...
Nothing seems interesting anymore,
Nothing appears to the mind.
No sense of urgency,
No sense of time.

People all around you,
In a shopping spree.
Talking...
Laughing...
Browsing shops with their loved ones,
Looking for the perfect gift.
Some enjoying the moment,
Some rushing to get back home.

Walking alone quietly,
Without memories to claim my own.
Pacing...
Without purpose...
Just painstakingly waiting,
For a friendship on hold.
A relationship that never started,
Uncertain of its future.

Lost... in a city,
Counting... Every second.

14: Forever the Soldier's Daughter

With the grace of the lone white dove flying north,
Hands folded, with gentle care, material between them.
Dreams fulfilled within fabric being turned, imprinted faith.
Freedom sung through leaves rattling beneath their feet.
—Child remember where I have stood, where you are now.

Liberty from imprisonment, where nameless souls rested.
Where forever was never a word but instead a definition.
Blood spilled, innocent spirit, written within newspapers.
She raised her hand in her father’s memory, final salute.
—Never forget those who gave you freedoms you have.

Heartbroken child presented with the medals left behind,
While her mother was handed the folded heartbroken flag.
Never would she forget the love her father had for his job.
For now she knew who she was, who she would become.
—Forever the soldier’s daughter.

ok, i dun kno if this is rite, but im gunna enter it b4 its 2 late.

15. Goodbye Darling

She watches as they slowly, lower the casket,
Wishing she had never told him to take that shortcut.
If it wasn't for her yelling, he'd still be alive,
As she goes back into her memory archive.

Back in high school, when they first met,
He asked her out, because it was a bet.
Then he realized, money didn't matter,
He didn't care who knew, for he loved her.

They were only freshman, yet madly in love,
They had maturity far up and above-
the rest. Then at 18, he popped the question,
"Will you marry me", and "yes" was her reaction.

Now she cries, after 5 years of marriage,
She wishes more than anything to give him one last message.
That's she sorry, and she loves him more than anything,
She will miss him, and don't worry, he'll always mean something.

The priest then states, "He died in a car,
As he, and his wife, drove to the local bar.
She said, take a shortcut, because it's getting late,
Because tonight was special, since their child, their first date.

A drunk from the bar, must've not seen them,
Because he hit the car, and the car went in flames in mayhem.
Luckily for us, the wife got away,
As we can see, he didn't, that's why were here today."

He says a little pray now, as all throw in roses,
As in his coffin, he eternally snoozes.
All the guest go home, except for his wife,
She says goodbye, he was the love of her life.

"Goodbye, my darling Husband, I've known you so long,
I'm sorry that this happened, I was so wrong.
I'll really miss you, I'll never forget about you,
Goodbye honey, I know you love me too."

I wrote this a long time ago... but I have a feeling everyone would like to read it...

Heartbreak (#16)
by Just Rain

Heartbreak-the hardest thing you'll ever feel

You know how hard something can be
If it's screwed up?
Imagine being with the person of your dreams
The lover of your life

And then to love them, hug them, tell them everything
Be madly infatuated, not having to speak
Making your final decision
To always be with them

Giving up everything for them; trying to be free
Considering them yours, for eternity
Planning out your lives, dreaming of your future children
Giving them names, knowing it will be heaven

Amazingly like paradise it seems, it feels
And when you go to sleep, it's heaven
To know someone loves you; will always be there for you
And imagine

One day the world just comes crashing down
This lived-up fairytale has become ruin
And those words of love, they fade away
Even though you ~knew~ you loved them

Heartbreak after an intense desire
One love that used to light your heart on fire
God, it hurts, it really hurts
To know they'll never be by your side

Heartbreak-it can make you cry

(#16- my favorite number)

.(#17)Song pills for any girls with broken hearts
by Just Rain

Girl,stop crying
Please stop streaming tears
It's such a gray day
Did you make it like this?

Crying in the rain
To pretend you are not
There's nothing in your pocket watch
It used to be filled with the time you spent with him

Do you need a kiss?
There's someone waiting to give you one
Do you need someone to talk to?
You have lots of friends
Shoulders to lean on

It's not the end of the world
You will be okay
This is the lullaby
To soothe the broken hearted

Do not cry
Do not cry
Your shadow is here
Sitting by your side

You may be sitting on that swing
Not caring if its cold
It's warmer than your heart feels
This pure minute

Do not cry
Do not cry

Faith will hold you close
Hope will protect you
You can live
You can live

Girl,don't cry
Your shadow will always be by your side
And if your shadow ain't there
Hope and faith will come
To guard you from the darkness

From heartbreak's ruptures,
To the girl with the broken heart

18) You were always an exception.

I still look out the window you know,
Waiting for an answer, maybe a sign.
That you're out there somewhere
But you just got lost in time.

It's almost been three years.
Since I've seen your face.
I'm always searching for something,
To fill this empty space

We got caught in the moment of life,
It seemed as it was just you and me.
We didnt have a care in the world.
Our spirits were so free.

Now, your soul is so distant from me.
You still here with me though ,
Just so much farther away,
But you'll never let it show.

And I may dig my own grave,
Waiting for you to come back.
But it something I'm willing to do
Because acceptance is what I lack.

The cold, harsh reality of all of this is
I wake up, knowing I won't see you
I know you've moved on with life
I guess I always knew.

You always said time was on our side,
That the memories would keep us together
And I still really want to believe you...
But because of time I've lost you forever

And this is my final plea to you
Maybe one day I will get a reply
And I may just be waiting forever
I guess this is really good bye

I always said with brief happiness,
Comes prolonged pain.
But you were always an exception.

--emotionless.19*

19) It doesn't have to be this way.

Every time get lost in my thoughts
And my own reality seems so far away
Then everything I ever felt comes back
And it’s like reliving each day

I can still see your crystal green eyes.
They’re as cold as ice just waiting to crack
I still get lost in them every time.
Just like a memory I can’t get back.

You were always rough around the edges.
But you had always loved me for me,
Made me feel like I was something special.
You opened my eyes so I could see.

But behind your tough exterior,
hid your true feelings and colours,
Behind your eyes lied your fears.
But you could'nt tell the others.

You were never truly happy.
And I always questioned why.
Now I finally understand.
The reason you had to lie.

How could I be so blind in the mist of my life?
That I couldn’t see that you were in pain.
You were slowly fading away.
And you had nothing left to gain.

But you had the chance to escape your life.
And find a place where you could smile
Find a home where you could belong
And be happy for a while.

I knew this was what you needed
You had wanted to live
You needed a brand new start
Something I couldn’t give

I can’t remember the last time we talked.
And over time I’ll be hearing less of you.
Soon I won’t be able to hear you at all.
And there’s nothing I can do.

If I could scream out your name,
You would still be lost in my heart.
I would only find a painful echo.
That symbolizes we are apart

I couldn’t make you stay
And I can’t make you talk.
It was your choice to stay or leave
And you had chose to walk

And so this seals my letter,
I hope you’ll read it one day.
I want you to know that...
It doesn’t have to be this way.

--emotionless.19*

#20 Feel So Alone

Changing seasons, changing time
different reasons, but same old rhyme
same old rain with same pain
same old love song driving me insane

changing priorities, changing taste
but same feelings of being a waste
making love to destiny in my funeral pyre
still breathing while licking this dancing fire

feel so alone in a crowded room
hand in hand with my loneliness i go along
tears storming deep inside my head
and i pretend with a smile of being strong

changing situations, changing life's goal
same expectations, if you could hear my call
same old circumstances running around
same old house, six feet underground

feel so alone when you are close to me
this is not how our life was supposed to be
i could feel your breath as you seems so near
and then you say a word and you just disappear

same old breaths, same old nights and days
different excuses for different killing ways
this love that we had, now seems so strange
as all the intense passion has turned into rage

alone so alone floating on this endless river of time
making love to the smoke of my funeral pyre
and i turn to ashes with my heart falling apart
still beating while licking this fading fire

hehe.. wow.. that was quick.. lol.. kk, will start judging asap! :)
