just wondering if anyone else writes, and if they wrote anything when they parted with their ex. when mine cheated on me and we broke up i couldnt stop writing. it definatly helped me more than anything else. check out mine and let me know what you think or if you need any of it explained. you can even vote on it or not. doesnt matter to me. just give me your opinion on it. also ide like to hear anyone elses poem about their break up.

It's a good poem, a bit sad. It's kind of odd that so many people write excellent stuff when they are in pain. But I do think it helps a lot to get through the shock part of a break up.

 

I'm retired from break ups...no more of them for me. I've had enough. They aren't fun. No more poetry either. The next poem I write is when I win the lottery. No chick is going to bring me down like they have in the past.

I enjoyed reading your poem. Yes, pain does seem to be a some kind of catalyst for good writing; Tony's comment made me go on a search for happy poems I found this one (not so much perky as positive)...

 

maybe I'll start a thread 'happy poetry'.. hmm

I wrote the first two 14 years ago when I first met her, and the last two some time in December, I think. Meant so much to me at the time, and helped work through some s**t.

 

Hope you like them and find some use out of me putting them up here for all to see.

 

VISIONS

 

Visions

Of long summer nights with you

In a grassy field with just enough room

For two

 

Sometimes

The emptiness inside I feel

My heart cannot make real

The dreams I have

 

Sometimes

The feelings I possess

In my mind so true

My truth a lie

And yet I try

All the ages I'm away

Nothing but a single day

And still I break down and cry

 

Sometimes

I feel guilty of my joy when you're not there

My happiness to share

And still I try

Realism of fact..not dream

Yet I always seem

To keep wishing on that star

 

Sometimes Visions

Of long summer nights with you

Enter into my dreams

And so I try

My mind reaching to hold them

And make them real

So I can feel

The soft gentle touch of your skin

In a grassy field with just enough room

For two.

 

 

 

FEAR

 

Fear the stone left unturned

Fear the things you've yet to learn

Fear the thoughts deep in your mind

Fear what approaches from behind

Fear the feeling that everything's right

Fear the loneliness at night

Fear the light of the coming day

Fear it still as it slips away

Fear your pain and your sorrow

Fear this day and tomorrow

Fear your life the way you live

Fear that you don't have enough to give

Fear that feeling within your heart

That fear can be the hardest part

My greatest fear is something new

Fear of living without you.

 

 

 

SHE

 

She's my angel when I pray

She's my sunshine through the day

She's my breath when I inhale

She's the princess in my tale

She's the breeze that keeps me cool

She's my diamond, she's my jewel

She's the moon that shines at night

She's my everlasting light

She's my priceless work of art

She's the beating of my heart

She's my dream when I'm asleep

She's my tears when I weep

She's the stars that shine above

She's the reason I feel love

She's been all these things and more

She's the one that I adore

She's in everything I see

Everything but me.

 

 

 

DO YOU?

 

Do you lay awake at night

When summer storms are cause for fright

And ponder where in this world I may be?

Does it fill your mind with wonder

When you hear the sound of thunder

If the rain is falling down on me?

 

Do you find your mind adrift all day

Whether at work or at play

And see only the vision of my smile?

Do you hope for just one note

Any words that I wrote

Just to keep you going for a while?

 

Do you dream when you sleep

That vision of us that you keep

Of you and I laying side by side?

And when you wake for the day

And the dream fades away

Do you pull the covers up and hide?

 

Do you ask God when you pray

If you can have any say

In just what it is He wants from you?

Because I'd have one simple task

That I'd really want to ask

Please God, make her feel like I do.

I wrote this just a few weeks ago....It's not for a breakup,but rather why my life is like it is and my struggles with accepting to live alone.

I wrote this with the teachings of a great friend(Zona76) This was spoken from deep emotion that night.

 

"***************************************************

I stand here on the shore trying to just ignore,but what am I ignoring?

I'm deep in thought of what my life is now or what it should of been,a girl for me to love and an airforce pilot she could love back. Thats the thought I hold true and someday I wish I could know you. I open my eyes and soon realize,that it was only a thought,a wish,a dream...My life is lonely and hopes have passed.

This written today. I write a lot. Normally I Rhyme and this is out of my realm

I need a critique on this. Please advise. (PM if you can)

 

 

Have you ever felt we're in a bubble?

We make our lives invisible yet unaware we're on display?

Have you ever wondered if they knew?

These pictures we create and see within ourselves.

Am I wrong to want them to know?

To understand this glory and wonder. This power we hold.

They watch the tableau, view it as obscene for they can't ever know this to be real... This what we feel.

And we share, and we give, and we project into tomorrow.

We think it can't get better than this and yet it still grows.

Lets soar with other spirits like ours.

Lets fly away. Lets join the clouds to be one.

I was once in poetry.com. DON'T be duped into buying their book that contains hundreds of poems only to see yourself in print.

If you are serious about writing I can connect you to a publisher that will publish your work. And publish for no fee. You don't get much money unless you sell a lot of books.

I wrote a childrens story. And I am given 2 free copies. That's all I wanted was to see it in print...

I'm not allowed to type the web page for this site but you can PM me.

im not sure you can pm on this site. or maybe im retarded?? i cant seem to figure it out. anyway thats the way i write most of the time. i almost never rhyme. i will throw in a few every now and then but its rare. it makes what i write feel more personal to me.

 

the 2nd line in the poem seems out of place to me , but that might be because its in your head not mine. its good none the less.

 

i wrote a really weird one today on my cell phone. i need to go over it and patch it up a bit and then i'll post it up.

They may zap me for telling you. But the key in the PM's is in your profile page. First is to chose if you want to be visible. Left unchecked people wont know if you are online.

We all start with not being able to PM. You have to turn it on. You have to access this ability. I only saw it once. I carefully went over everything in my profile page and found it. Now it's on, I can turn it off. The choice is still mine.

The poem is in the imagining.

When you fall in love part of you wants the world to know and part wants you to conceal it. Keep it safe and secure.

I think in this second line I refer to myself in a time when I was in an internet romance(we're married now)

The whole of this is a symbolism. I feel so much so deep how is it that others can't see or feel it too?

I too began writing, I decided to try something different (I used to take out my frustrations, anger, etc on anyone around me...) It is wrong i know.. (guess i have finally grown up) but i have learned that writing is a much better way for me (and my friends and family) to deal with things...

Here is a few of the many poems I have written:

 

 

My Reflection

Kreg_02-09-07

 

From across the room i saw her

A stranger standing alone

I noticed she'd been weeping

As she stood there on her own

 

She had given up on love and life

This was obvious to see

I read her lips as she said to herself,

"How could he do this to me?"

 

I wondered had he broken her heart

Did he pull it out and then tear it apart?

Her hurt was displayed like a work of art

 

I decided to walk on over

To lend her a friendly ear

That's when i realized that stranger

was my reflection in the mirror

 

 

 

 

Haunted

kreg_03-30-07

 

Desperately holding on to our future plans

Like a little girl squeezing a baloon's string in her hand

I knew it was wrong and a sin not to mention

But i dove in head first didn't question nor listen

And by crossing that line
so
selfishly,

I let down my guard and you betrayed me

You lied when you called me the love of your life

It was proven when i found out

you still slept with your wife

Foolishly believing, "you're all I have ever wanted!"

And to this day still, by those six words I'
m
haunted!

 

 

 

Empty Promises

kreg_01-29-07

 

Once again it has happened

you didn't keep your word

Now you try using empty promises

and you sound
so
absurd

Because of you, my hearts been shattered

and all i can see, is to you, it doesn't matter

You want me to believe in you

when you say, you'll never say good bye

There's one thing you proven to me

...That words you speak are only lies

There really is no reason for me to keep hanging on

We'd both be better off

If you'd just stay gone

Well... I guess i have my answer

I now know where i stand.

Was playing me for a fool all part of your plan?

I have said this before...and i'
m
telling you now

Start showing me respect ...

Or you can go to hell!
