Hi all.  By the way, I'm new here in case you can't tell.  I'd appreciate any honest criticisms you might have, and I'll do the same for you.  Oh, and for those of you keeping track at home, these two poems ("Shadows and Light" and "Wishing Star") were written for one girl, one while we were dating, and one after she broke up with me.  Can you tell which one is which?  Anyways, thanks alot.  I like to have a place to get feedback on my writing.  Later ya'll.


-Shadows and Light -

There are those in our lives
That slowly fade away, like stars vanish
With dawn’s first grey light.
Brilliant and vibrant for a short time,
They disappear forever, never
Seen again in our night’s black sky.

Still others leave their mark,
Their light too bright and powerful
To ever truly go away.
They haunt our lives, our dreams.
They fill our souls with being,
Impressing our hearts ever more.

But you.

You are my moon.  Always there, never changing.
Shadows and light dance across your face,
Hiding this side or that, but if I look
I can see you there behind them.
Breaking through dark black clouds
Or shadows cast by an overbearing sun.

So goodnight my green eyed angel.
I’ll meet you in my dreams tonight.
Until I hold you in my arms again,
I will look at the sky with wonder.
Watch the moon play shadow games
And feel your light upon my heart.

hello and welcome to you.

I read your other poem first and then this one but maybe i should have read them the other way around. They are both beautiful and you have a very romantic heart. your poetry flows well and gives clear and beautiful tender images.

its lovely to meet you and i for one will look forward to more of your words.

hugs from june xxxxxxxx

Thanks June.  I really appreciate your assessment of my work.  It's nice to know that i'm not just writing to hear myself talk (so to speak).  I hope to post a few more poems when i get the chance.  

Oh, and by the by, I really enjoyed "Relaxing".  I don't think i can look at a bubble bath the same way again.  

"Ain't Got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old.  Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef"

I think this one is first poem for your girl.

Very nice. I wish I write like that!
