My poet's ink is just a lil dried up @ the moment. So, I'm reposting 3 of my favorites from my first month here at Passions

An Eagle

An eagle flying high above,
Just soaring, looking for his love.

A free spirit looking for more,
Hes not just looking for a score.

Friends first is his #1 rule,
I learned when he was in school.

Our love continued to grow,
We were unable to let is show.

I was taken, so was he,
Never a thought of just we.

Until I looked in his eyes one great day,
I knew the love wouldn’t fade away.

An eagle flying high above,
just soaring, looking for his love...

Confused

I live so I must die.
      I love so I must be loved.
I speak so I must be heard.
I sleep so I must awake.
I'm dead but did I really live?
      I'm loved but do I really love?
I'm heard but did I really speak?
      I'm awake but did I really sleep?
      Am I really doing what I was put here to do
or am I just living a lie?

“Crush”

Come here, boy,
     i need you.

Rarely showing my love,
     hiding in the shadows

Understanding that i must,
     tell you what i hold for you.

Sharing a secret,
     no one understands.

Here, now i must,
     say "i love you"

*sigh* nobody cares

I really liked these poems, Tamma. In the first poem, I really liked the way you wrote the poem with couplets. I've always liked couplet poetry.. need to try it sometime. In the second poem, I really like the format. I thought it was impressive the way you turned the lines around in the second half and turned them into questions. I like that one the best. I didn't like the third poem as much, it was different from the others. But I did like the style you used. Nice work on all three. I enjoyed them quite a bit. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Well done.

Sandpaper tears corrode the filth,
And I need you now somehow." --Silverchair

Great poems Tamma. I especially liked the 2nd one. I wrote one similar to it a while ago. It really makes you think. But isnt that what good poetry does?? Well, sorry about your dried up poets ink, but maybe when it rains you can write again.

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow. I feel kinda sorry for it...

Tamma I'm a fan of all your work. I'm sorry for never telling you. You do a beautiful job writing. I hope your poets ink starts to write again. Look some motivation...I know it's hard but I'm sure you can find it somewhere...
