I was quite happy until you came along.
It didn’t set the world alight,
It wasn’t right,
It wasn’t wrong.
But it wasn’t right,
And I knew it all along.
And, then, you came around,
Tearing me apart with just the sound
Of your voice.
Confusion abounds.
Should I stay here or pursue
These strange feelings I’ve found
Invade my heart and grip my soul
Whenever you are around?
Someone please help me to find
The right way.
Logical mind says
I should stay
With what is safe
But each day
I find myself wondering how it would be,
Just you and me,
Love running free.

Can’t ever be.

Doogle...
HI and welcome to Passions..this is SO good...great rhyme flow and well expressed emotion... I look forward to more of your work...enjoy your stay...
take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

Sad little first poem Doogle.  But welcome to Passion and the dark forum.  I'll be watching for more of your work.  You CAN feed me, I don't bite and I'm certainly not fat!! LOL

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

I came here to read someone else's poem. But something drew me to this. I can honestly relate. Welcome to passions, I look forward to reading more from you. Please check your email for a special welcome.

Wonderful poem and welcome to Dark Passions! Just follow your heart..it'll take you where you need to go.

Oh yes, sometimes that temptation is so strong and sometimes it doesn't stand a chance.  James

I really identified with your poem.  You've expressed exactly what I've been going through for the past few months.  I hope you have better luck figuring it out then I have.
