I've got a different view of life now.
Can't show you how I've changed.

I've sipped water from love's fountain.
Can't show you how much I care.

I wonder why I roll in thunder,
When life goes wrong one day.

And why do I assume accusations,
That you have never shared with me.

Can't take my heart away now,
When I've held on so strong.

Can't beat me with your worries.
Can't kill me with your shame.

I've been in such a hurry,
And now my heart is sore.

I've got a different view now.
I'm not looking back anymore.

For every truth, there is an ear somewhere to hear it
For every love, there is a heart somewhere to receive it".--Ivan Panin

salooma: i like this one a lot    the only confusing part to me was the 3rd line "I've sipped water from the fountain"... i dont feel you're giving the reader enough information here to give any meaning to that statement... perhaps explain what the fountain is (a fountain of pain, of love, of wisdom or understanding??) to help the reader understand your intentions there...

sincerely,
jerome the melancholy priest

 Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone

Yay! This poem sounds like you are triumphing over something, so I'm sharing your joy. (I may be way off, feel free to correct me) I read so much beauty in your words. This was awsome.

Thanks for the replies.

SCG: Thanks a lot....I thought of some sort of title, I guess.

Jerome: You're right there should be an explaination to the third line and I guess the fountain I'm refering to is the fountain of love, youth, happiness all combined. I really don't know how I should change it any suggestions?? You're always good at that.  

LyricFetish: You're absoulutly right! This is a triumph, for me at least. It's breaking away sort of and that's what it's all about. Thanks for noticing that! And thanks for the comment.

I like your expression in this poem.  And the view you have in the end seem so appropriate.  After having read several of your poems, i've developed an appreciation of your work.  I especially liked "Goodbye".
Keep up the good writing.
