    Tip
    of the
    iceberg
    she said.

    She was wrong.

    It was everything
    all at once. Coat, hat
    and scarf left right inside
    the door. I would have
    proposed a toast, had I
    had a glass and fork.

    Two short years
    are now equal to a
    lifetime, for as long
    as we both shall live.
    For as long as you both
    shall live.

    It's only half of a country
    she said,
    as she stepped onto
    the plane. A heart that
    has yet to witness
    adulthood, a naivety
    in close grasp of
    a brand new name.

    Onto the backburner.
    On with the back breaking.
    Sorry if I don't have
    the charm. Sorry if
    your second thought
    is committed to
    the west.

    I'm sure
    her waking hour has
    been spent with
    all the best. I'm sure
    she'll soon grow tired
    of asking me for
    second chances.

    It's her beauty
    that has been lost.
    It's her voice that
    will echo a stranger.

    Don't count me out.
    Sometime's to see
    the true beauty, all
    you have to do is
    just shake off
    the dust.

    Thank you so much. I'm really rather shy when it comes to my writing. I don't always think they're good.

    i never think anything i write is good. that's not the point though, the point is you keep writing even when you're not sure if its good, and writing is always good.

    I guess you can say you know when a writer has lost inspiration when they can't find a flaw in their own work?

    This is another gem. You've got talent, that's for sure. There's lots to like about this poem. I hope you continue to show your poems on here, even if you don't like them.
