Sorrow
Is just the same
As depression with some
Tang but begining to feel it
Begining to grow into it in a
Way so unappateising and
Sad; No where to turn to just
Lieing depressed
Sorrow

~Your eyes~
By Melissa

Your eyes
squint lustful glares
as hidden agendas
discuss the scent of fruit filled air.
Words elude your lips vocabulary,
but impress my heart's eagerness
with a kiss of substance
that contemplates
your eyes.

Your poems are great peeps keep em coming :D

sounds great...i'll give it a go...i might even try to get out of the suicidal poems lol but no guarantees

reserve me a spot please

reserve me plz

One (Sweet) Day

One day
I want to see
The same look in your eyes
Burn into mine eternally
That same sweet touch of your hand on mine, but
This time, never letting go of
My hand; letting me know
You love me too
One day

Reserve me rserve me!

All your poems are great guys i can't wait until they have all been posted =D

Ray your poem is one syllable short on the 5th line, other than that its great :)

Heres mine

Fading{Rictameter}

........................Fading,
................Hearts turning black,
............Through pain and solitude,
.......Once, the perfect love lived here,
..The tables have turned, we are the victims,
..........Now our futures are at stake,
..............But thats not for us to,
.................Choose if we keep,
........................Fading

Yeah thats better, theres just one more small thing, on the second to last line theres 5 syllables instead of 4...sorry to be a pain lol

Syllable count spot on now Ray =D

its 2-5-6-8-10? that doesnt make sense it says 2-4-6-8-10 on the link u provided

No its 2-4-6-8-10

*Love Me*

Love me,
Stay forever.
What would I ever do
Without you right here by my side?
I don't think I'd be able to do it.
All I want is you staying here,
And never leaving me.
Please say you will...
Love me.

urgh! this was hard!

Heartbreak
Loneliness shown
A poor lovers soul gone
Her happy world crashed around her
Crying herself to sleep day after day
Staring morosely at the walls
The only lesson she
Ever learned is
Heartbreak

Damn this was hard
