Wow, I am so glad I found this thread - there are some beautiful words here!!! It is lovely to know there are other writers here - I have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember - about 3 months ago, my clever youngest son helped me build a website to display some of my favourite things on - see what you think of this one - it's called 'Will You?'
Will you still love me, my darling,
When we're older, and wiser, and grey?
When our skin starts to sag,
And our feet start to drag,
Tell me, will you still love me this way?
And will we still laugh and be lovers,
With our teeth in a glass by the bed?
And if I can't hear
Your soft words in my ear,
Will you shout your sweet nothings, instead?
Will we dream as if life is forever?
Will we live like each day is our last?
Will we cruise down the street,
With the world at our feet?
(Will I still say you're driving too fast?)
And will there be love ever-lasting?
Will we welcome the end, without fear?
Side by side, hand in hand,
Leave our mark on this land -
I was yours,
You were mine,
We were here
I have been lucky enough to have a few little bits published (sadly not enough to let me give up the day job!!) and love taking part in poetry readings when I get the chance.
PLEASE keep these lovely words flowing - there are some more of mine here if you'd like to have a browse
Hope the men appreciate all these beautiful lines written about them!Originally Posted by Hilda>^..^<
Lou...
Thank you for joining us here. I visited your Poem Zone...impressive...most impressive (ok, that's my best Darth Vader impression). I do love how you write....will you be posting more for us here? I hope so! Thanks again!
In the meantime...here are a few more of mine...
My love comes to me from far away places
From distant valleys and familiar places
From sunlight and moonlight in heavens above
I've searched far and wide to find my true love
Morning and evening, I yearn for his touch
Soft spoken whispers that still mean so much
The west wind brings me news of his arrival
I need to have him close for my very survival.
~*~May 11, 1998~*~
Wait for me, my love, in my dreams
Where nothing really is as it seems
That's where I left you last night
I opened my eyes and you were gone from sight
What as it that we were saying?
And what sweet game were we playing?
I remember your smile, I remember your face
If only I could go back to that place
And start again from where you faded away
From my embrace at break of day.
~*~May 20th, 1998~*~
What if I said...'let's run away!'
Imagine how far we would go in a day!
Across rivers and valleys we'd roam
In that endless search for a place to call home.
I imagine its somewhere full of soft, wet places
Fields of grass covered with delicate laces
Where colours seem to go on forever
Where trees stretch upward with little endeavour.
~*~August 31st, 1998~*~
MY STAR
I like to think of the way you are
Splendid and wonderous, like a bright, shiney star
Untouchable, unsinkable...unthinkable too
Twinkling brightly in heavens of blue
Out of reach...but never out of mind
Never really knowing what you leave behind
Smiling faces filled with starry eyes
Gazing with wonder into your skies.
~*~May 11, 1998~*~
HIS WIFE
I wonder if you know just how lucky you are
You're that one special person who captured his heart
You'll forever have a place in his life
Forever to be known as his loving wife
To your children, you'll be the perfect mother
And in his heart there'll be no other
Yes I wonder if you know just how lucky you are
You've captured the brightest, shiniest star
One that has blazed a trail that will burn like fire
One that has filled many a heart with desire
Yet I know he remains ever faithful to you
You're the one who makes all his dreams come true
My head keeps telling me how much I should hate you
How with these words I write I should try to berate you
But I can't and I won't..ever, because you mean too much
I wouldn't want to be the one to crush
His heart and soul into the ground and make him sad
Because you've made him feel so happy, so glad
I hope that you're as beautiful and good as I think you should be
But I cannot deny the fact that instead I wish it was me
Who's face you'd see when you look into his eyes
This is all so futile I know, and I do realize
That for that part there can be only one star
I wonder if you know just how lucky you are.

This is wonderful. Did you write this? So sweet.Originally Posted by 4BadCats
Had a busy day with the kids today - one needing to be rushed all over the place from one activity to another, and youngest not well and ion need of love and hugs.................reminded myself of this one to get me through the hard times...........
MY CHILD
I am captive, I am helpless,
Release me for a while-
I am blinded by your eyes,
And I am dazzled by your smile
You are stars, and rain, and sunshine,
And the world is your to take -
You have made me cry with laughter,
You have caused my heart to break.
I will shoulder every hardship,
And breathe for you each breath
I will give till I have nothing
And then fight for you till death
My love is without end,
You have bewitched, I am beguiled,
My heart, my soul, my everything,
My life, my love,
My child
That was beautiful and heartbreaking. Take care.Originally Posted by maddensmom
This one I posted on the site last year right after I wrote it, and it has to be one of my poems that means the most to me. I wrote it after I had a miscarriage in June of 2006. My due date would have been next month, so I have been thinking about it a lot lately.
I was a mommy for a moment,
a tiny slice of time,
and if only for that moment,
all the world was mine.
I never got to hold you,
or look into your eyes,
or to tell you that I loved you,
or listen for your cries.
I didn't get to buy you,
all sorts of baby things,
but now you've got much more than that
'cause now you've got your wings.
Now you're my little angel,
with your daddy's bright blue eyes
smiling down at me from Heaven
telling mommy not to cry.
This is so touching. I too have had a miscarriage (3 of them)...its so hard. Thanks so much for putting it into such sweet, heartfelt words.Originally Posted by maddensmom

That is so sad. Every time I see a dead animal by the side of the road, I wonder if there are babies waiting for a mom who will never return.Originally Posted by furryferals
I'm sorry if this sounds a bit sad but I wrote this a couple of years ago,when I caught a feral female in a cat basket.I didn't find out till after I dropped her off for
spaying that there was a good chance she had babiesand when I took her back
she wandered round crying for what seemed like a lifetime.
I lived my life in fear at night,
my earliest memory....no daylight
waiting for hours 'till mum came back,
snuggled with kin on a dirty old sack
I hungered and cried and watched my siblings die,
Taken in the mouth of a predators eye
Why is this happening?I wish I could die!
I'm all alone my siblings gone,
No sight of my mum I'm all alone
I learned a lot from that....
