When I look

When I look at you, I see a fighter,
that deals the everyday with his lonely sword.

When I look at you, I see a fugitive,
that hides the truth inside of him.

When I look at you, I see a fortress,
that shows no despair.

When I look at you, I see a prison

When I look into your eyes, I see the need for companionship,
that wrecks your lonely hearth.

When I look into your eyes, I see the fear of rejection,
that torments you so deeply in the gate of tomorrow.

When I look into your eyes, I see the pain of loneliness,
that hurts you so hard every night.

When I look into your eyes, I see the mirror.


Ok guys, this is my first poem, I hope you like it, and please feel free to make any comments and suggestions about it. I would really like that you help me with my poetry. Thanks




It's been raining since you left me.

Welcome my friend, to our humble online abode…Known as (Drum roll…) Passions!

I am, Deranger, resident wacko and all-round nutcase.

I must commend you one your first post, it’s taste of an excellence still developing, which is better than  static greatness, for it’s is ever blooming into something more…
As for advice to improve your poetry, I can grant none…For poetry is the ultimate expression of uniqueness, and it would not be my place to covet yours.  You know what you like and what you don’t.

Approaching me quickly
Living a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear...

Welcome to Passions
This was a really good first post.  I really liked the end where we find out you're looking in the mirror.  It seems you've been doing some looking at your life and you've written of it well.  I can't wait to read more

Welcome to passions!!!I hope that you enjoy it here...

When I look at you, I see a prison

What a choice of words...You made me think of someone while reading this...That I think could really be the same exact person...Same heartless person...But I highly doubt it...

Except for the last line...That doesnt portray this person or anyone I know..

Keep up the good work...Hope to see more by you soon...
