This poem is just to convey my feelings at the current time. It is writen about my boyfriend who lives far away.


The more I think about him
The more I love him

The more I love him
The more I care

The more I care
The more I want to be with him

The more I want to be with him
The more I despair

Despair In that place where I cry out in confusion
Where my emotions are everywhere and I reach no conclusion

I’m fearful of making mistakes or taking the wrong turning
God come and rescue me from this pain which is burning

Come and set me free, hold me tight and carry me through
Answer my prays, O Lord and help me to know what’s true

The more I think about him
The more I what to hear from him

The more I want to hear from him
The more I want to share

The more I want to share
The more I want to be near to him

The more I want to be near to him
The more time I spend in prayer

To pray in that place where I cry out in confusion
Where my emotions are everywhere and I reach no conclusion

I’m fearful of making mistakes or taking the wrong turning
God come and rescue me from this pain which is burning

Come and set me free, hold me tight, and carry me through
Answer my prays, O Lord and help me to know what’s true

Hey Fuschia,

I'm first off going to say welcome to pip! Cause I haven't seen anything of yours yet, I know it's probably a late welcome but better late than never, no?

I liked this poem quite a lot, it's something I can relate to at certain times of the day, not always because... Well, just because. As you will soon find out, i'm sure, i love poems I can relate too! They are awesome in my book, and so is this one.

I'm not sure what I think about the whole thing put together though, for me it repeated itself just a little bit much. I'm not really into repetitive stuff, so I think everything that's said twice is to much, so don't take anything i say wrong...

I did like it though, I really, REALLY, liked this part,

"I’m fearful of making mistakes or taking the wrong turning
God come and rescue me from this pain which is burning

Come and set me free, hold me tight and carry me through
Answer my prays, O Lord and help me to know what’s true
"

for me that sounds like something I would do, well, what I do, do. I loved how you voiced it though, it was awesome!

Anyway, I'd like to say more but i've got to run, I look forward to reading more of your posts in the near future. I think you are a very talented poet and I can't wait to see more

Absolutely loved this part. The only part that kind of threw me was the "wrong turning" part. To me the rhyming sounded forced there. If you want ot change it up a bit you might try using a different word or a different phrase. I still liked it alot though. keep it up!

Thank you for your welcoming and your comments. I will take your ideas into concideration. I think i know what you mean by it sounding forced. I will try to come up with something else. This definately isn't one of my best poems, just something i made up at the spare of the moment so it is a bit repetative. Maybe i should not repeat the second and last stanza twice. Just have it once. Thanks again

God Bless

I didnt really like this poem...moderately written...I think that a few of the lines were stretched and the flow was off considerably...dont distaste me becuase I dont really like this one just keep elevating and writing that is the onyl way any poet can grow...good luck...elevation is the key

i really liked this part...... i didn't really like how it was repeated though it kind of, i feel, lost it's originality (well if thats even a word) but it was good i look forward to reading more from you.

Thanks again for your comments. I will take all of what you say into account. It certainly isn't my normal style of writing -just something i was trying out.
Perhaps i should try something different.

This isn't your normal writing style? Really?!?

I'd love to see some of your poems in the style you are most comfortable with.  I think you did an excellent job with this one though

I think this is really good!  great write!  
did you mean answer my *prayers* instead of prays though?  idk just a thought
I love seeing other poets who bring God into their work.  It impresses me greatly!  good write!

Yes- i did mean prayers- i am hopeless speller and always making mistakes. I know that could aggravate people so i'll try my best.

Thank you again for your comments. I will try and improve on it and perhaps post an updated version.

God Bless
