I figured I would use this post to introduce myself, I am 17 years old, male, I live in canada. I love the idea of these forums, I think I am going to like it here. Hopefully I will get a picture of myself up soon. I just wrote this one tonight, hope you like it.

"Few and Far Between"

Every waking second
pounds in my head
like a migraine you cant rid yourself of...
My life rushes towards me
flying at moch speed
only breaking now and then...

I am dictated by time
forever aging, ever dying
I grow older as I write this
to think this minute will never happen again...

Experiences are everything
Memories are tenfold more

When time seems to stop
and I know that always
I will hold this minute in my mind
I will take it to my grave

Although few and far between
these are the moments I live for...


and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

I'm so glad that you like Passions so much!  

This is a wonderfully written piece of dark poetry. We all have times like this, but I hope you find those "moments worth living for" more frequently in the future! Thanks for posting.

Oooh... very VERY excellent poem.
I love what you did here.

"I am dictated by time
forever aging, ever dying
I grow older as I write this
to think this minute will never happen again..."

What a great thought... it is difficult to mention in a poem that you are writing a poem without it sounding cheesy.  But you did it, man!  I actually had to stop and ponder after reading this.

Great job.

That was a great part, and allan already quoted it, but I decided what the heck, why not do it again.  This poem was written well, it makes the reader stop and think, reflecting on their own lives.  That'
s what it did for me anyway.  I like it, good job and I hope you stay here a long time to enjoy everything
