A robin redbreast
Soaring through the cyan sky
So happy, so free

So free are the
Birds of the sky
How I wish that
One day soon, I
Will be free like them

Free to roam and
Soar the vast skies
Free to travel
Without being
Held back in a cage

I need to fly alone
And find my own path
Take a chance and
Don’t look back
All the answers will be clear
If I could just learn
To break free

So free are the
Birds of the sky
How I was that
One day soon, I
Will be free as them ©

I'll do this . . . Just, give me time. And please, understand, I've been through a lot at the moment and plus my internet keeps going down . . . So, if I end up disappearing know it's from the sorrows of my heart.
I'll do this . . . Wish me luck. =]

The Morning Sun
by HiddenxSoul

The grass outside was
Like a bright image of you
Sparkling with love

With love, you grew
Like leaves on trees
Into the world
You were golden
Like the morning sun

The wind was strong
Just like the arms
You hold me with
Hugging me close
I feel your heartbeat

Never leaving my side
You are treasure
My gorgeous possession
Ruled by love and care
You will always be there

With love, you grew
Like leaves on trees
Into the world
You were golden
Like the morning sun

yay!!! another poem. i feel special!

I'll enter. :]

Sea of Fear.

Her mission within;
soul searching the depths herself,
forever finding truth.

Finding truth for
the power that
was lost upon
the sea of fear,
that stole broken hearts.

To receive a
true and better
understanding
of why we fear
the death of our soul.

For, we never found
the answers to questions
we didn't even ask.
We never sought
the truth to lies
we told ourself at night.

Finding truth for
the power that
was lost upon
the sea of fear,
that stole broken hearts.

My Time Alone

The cool ocean breeze
During a warm summer’s night
With sparkles above

Sparkles above
Shine like diamonds
One the brightest
Meaning one love
Who I’ll love until…

Toes in the sand
No one around
The moonlight glow
Shines on the sea
As the tides come in

This is my time alone
To reminisce and enjoy
With the luxuries I have
This air, love and life
As I gaze at the dark sky
And make a wish upon a star
That tomorrow is just as bright

Sparkles above
Shine like diamonds
One the brightest
Meaning one love
Who I’ll love until…

I tried.

Wow. I [[loved]] doing this! What type of poetry is it? Or is it something you invented? I loved it. . . I just may do more. =] I hope you enjoy it.
This is also an Ode...

Babylon {Ode}by XTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Sing to me a song,
Nightingale of Babylon;
A voice of the gods.

Precious angel,
Whisper stories
By nights long gone
Of your sweet sin;
Oh please, pull me in.

I do not mind,
To hold your kiss,
Within my thoughts.
My heart is true,
I will wait [for you.]

Dear Nightingale,
Do not fear the fast pacing hours;
I will stray no further
Than your heart.

Precious angel,
Whisper stories
By nights long gone
Of your sweet sin;
Oh please, pull me in.

-------------------------
An Ode is a poem praising and glorifying a person, place or thing.

Untold Secrets

Tell me of your night
And exactly what you did
Dramas left untold?

Untold secrets
of course it's true
I don't tell you
Everything it's
Not to do with out

I was hurt yes
But nothing bad
A bruise and a
Cut, nothing too
Serious, thats that

If I told you,
I would cry
And I know you would too
So leave it, forget it
I'll deal on my own

Untold secrets
Of course it's true
I don't tell you
Everything, ít's
not to do with you

Lucy :)

that was so much fun haha yay :)

Peaceful
Bye Sarah Elliott

Leaves rustle in the
Wind. Birds singing in the trees
Red flowers blossom

Flowers blossom
Pretty colours
Lovely smells
Beautiful now
Butterfly's fly

Around the
Flowers so
Sweetly now
A beautiful
Site it is, come look

Kids play nicely
In the long grass
Smiling and laughing
How peaceful it is

Flowers blossom
Pretty colours
Lovely smells
Beautiful now
Butterfly's fly

My Life is Screwed Up

The pain needs to stop
I have tried so many times
But it doesn't work

I blink back tears
Trying to hide
My horrible
Life until I
Feel like I should burst

The smell of beer
Overwhelms my
Terrible house
I try not to
Get into its way

Yet at times it's not
Avoidable
So I am the
Victim of my
Parent's rage
And the devil takes
Over my screwed up
Good for nothing life

I blink back tears
Trying to hide
My horrible
Life until I
Feel like I should burst

May we post two? I wrote another in this style [I really enjoy it] and I'm rather proud of it.
If not, it's fine, I'm only wondering. =]
