what has your leaving presented my fears with? (waking to pictures with missing persons)

distance veils my emotion,
hiding the deepest sighs,
softest whispers, quiet lies.

keep a hole close to your heart
so i can crawl inside somtime,
with lonely songs, sorrow in each line.

fake a desire in your voice
a longing with no attempts or tries,
blank smiles, dull shimmer in your eyes.

what will tombstone tomorrows love?
a surprise for the oldest prize,
love's grand canyons and greatest heights.

you never cease to amaze me. the metaphor usage and rhyme just helps to strengthen the poem. Good write and keep the spectacular writing coming

I like this one!

"keep a hole close to your heart
so i can crawl inside somtime,
with lonely songs, sorrow in each line."

I wanna hear the music to your poems... )

I see me frowning in your eyes...
I see the fear in you...
Where no one ever should be...

Alex.. if I could breathe out my nose, I might be able to think of something more intelligent to say than that you totally rock my world. I think this is one of the best of yours that I have read. Kudos.

hmmm..well, first i would like to say, how much i loved the poem, which you should already know.

There isnt much to critique in this, except, that maybe some of it sounded a little forced. but other than that, i cant really think of anything else...just that i loved it.

I ask why, but in my mind,
I find i cant really rely on myself.

hmm...I liked this, like much of your poetry it gave me something to think about. I greatly disliked however, the one ryhme scheme with the sighs, eyes, tries, prize, it would have worked except that you didn't use it in the second stanza and in the last stanza you didn't rhyme the last line to prize which to me through off the flow. But I LOVED the second stanza, definitly my favorite, just everything about it was wonderfully written. Overall this was another vastly enjoyed poem.
