~*~What~*~


What comes up,
must always go down.
Even if its a smile,
that turns into a frown.

What shines so bright,
may never fade.
Almost like a star,
hiding in the shade.

What looks so good,
but goes bad in the end.
Is just like a relationship,
that turns out to be just friends.

What breaks into two,
just like a heart.
Putting back together the pieces,
for a brand new start.

What is so precious,
like the gift of love.
Is God sending sweetness,
from up above.

I love doing this to people.  Just when you think that you are going to be through reading and replying to replies, you get another one.  But anyway, this really is an excellent poem.  Your poetry is some of what I missed most while I was away.  Keep it up dude!!

now I like this one a lot.
One note, just me being the style editor that I'm payed to be, I think that in the line "that turns out to be just friends" it might work, feel, sound better as "jade" rather than "friends" while both make sense, I'm just always an editor in the heart (as well as many other things).
that is JUST my opinion though, nothing else to it.

let me first note that my mind seems to be slipping and somehow I posted a reply to your reply for that other poem on this one, which just seems, odd. But it's 12:35 so I guess I have an excuse. Somewhat.

Anyway, jade would be refering to jaded. Some one who is jaded is often more self centerd, they want what they want and are not often willing to work for it. If they have to they may hurt someone who gets in the way of what they want. In a normal sentance you wouldn't use just "jade" but rather jaded. However in poetry actual sentences are not always needed, and playing around with syntax and structure is always fun, and you can make your poetry flow better by doing so.

~_~ forgot to mention that if used in the context that I was refering to (using "jade" rather than "friends") then it would be comparing the relationship to something that you can't get anything out of that is needed/wanted, or if you do it often costs you.

very true Erin!!!  Don't you just wonder why it has to be that way?  But, that's part of life i guess...if there's no bad then there's no good.  Love to read your other poems.  And by the way, thanks for your offer in my last posted poem.  I'd love to talk
