ok guys I have been going through some changes in my opinions of women and love, and all that mumbo jumbo. Well anywyas I know I can't really explain it all but this poem sorta spawned from it all if you want me to explain I'd be more than glad to, anyways here it is...

Lost at Sea:

Faded emotions
of I life I used to live.
I found nothing in my past journey,
so I changed my course.
Like I dead ship,
floating on the water
and letting the wind take me
wherever it may go.
Now I float motionless
in a vast sea,
Lost in emotions,
with nowhere to go
and no one to guide me.
I look
for the stars
every single night
wishing for HER
to show me the way.

I see the darkness coming all is bleak...

Good poem! I also like the part where you mention "HER" toward the end. Expression in this post is great!

ooooooooooh..i can so relate with the SHIP part..i often feel like im lost at sea and am a huge dark ship floating aimlessly around the world...
to be truthful, i have to say that this needs a bit of fixing up jorge- ive seen how good you can be, and this feels half hearted. there was good emphisis with the 'HER', but i felt that you needed to put a bit more emotion into it. try to lengthen it a tad bit, and cut out pieces like "every single night". i think that with a bit of revision this would be a mother of a poem!
all up though, i think that this is a great collection of thoughts from you. i hope you found my pointers useful.. ..if you didnt then your thumbs will turn into ice cream cones!

I feel like this would be a great start
What I mean is, I believe the poem need more to it
It reads a little like it was cut in half
But you are doing well already
another thing, I believe you mean to say "a" and not "I" in some instances
thanks for sharing

Jorge....de que hablas?
I mean, it's odd that you write about things like this with such passion, but in life actuas como un puto.
So what's the deal dude? You're completely contradicting actions and thoughts.
Enlighten me here...

other than that, the poem was pretty good. A bit rocky in certain areas, but nonetheless a nice one.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Sup Jorge?

I'm bored...Come, Bond with me on ICQ...LOL

ANYWAY
The poem was peachy. The meaning behind it was a great one...Though I thinkn you tried too hard to express it, or forced it.....Something... It could have been written better. And smack Javier for saying that- Mkay?   Thanks for the read man, I haven't been around in Teen 5 much....Sorry if I've missed some of your writings...I'll try SOMETIME to catch up...Keep me coming!
