i dont write often. i would like to but i dont and i would like to write happy stuff but i dont the following is short and sweet but i like the way it flows "run away" i want to run away, run run away, dont want to stay, not another day, and if i run away, they say i'll pay, i'll pay some day, but if i stay, i know i'll pay, i'll pay anyway the following is incomplete i would like to finish it but fortunately the feeling that inspired this is gone oh how i hate to love you yes i really really do the power of this love so true as a knife, it runs my heart right through as i stand, blood dripping to the floor i can only wonder how to attain more my heart and soul so tired and sore my love so strong through this blood and gore a wonderful feeling but oh so painful and for my mind its not so healthful my withered state is oh so shameful but the inner warmth is oh so gainful this one is complete "not my arms" thinking of you, lying in his arms brings me to tears, confirming my deepest fears i hope it is true, lying in his arms that you are at peace, and that your fears will cease knowing of you, lying in his arms puts up for debate, a question so great in moments not few, lying in his arms you way out there, i just can not bear loving you too, lying in his arms i hope he is good, as i feel i could; be and this is a single line that i thought up i have nothing else for it but i like it crying in the shower, helps to hide the pain for the tears as they fall, have nothing which to stain thank you for reading please feel free to critisize, proof read, make suggestions, or say nothing at all peace bob
BoB- I really liked this one, I encourage you to keep writing since you said you wished you wrote more often. Even if your poetry isn't always "happy" its a beautiful way to express yourself! Dig it Peace n` love
bob, i also really dig your style. your stuff is good and i think as you continue to write your voice will change and get better naturally. and don't worry about writing 'happy' poetry, just write what you need to express.
