hi...i only started writing recently and while i like scribbling my thoughts down, i would like to recive some opinions and thoughts as to the proper way of writing and structuring poetry. here's one of my newer poems....


They say in life that hearts must be broken
When dealing with love's search
These words often i've heard spoken
Though never have they eased love's hurt

I'm sorry that you had to feel this pain
From a boy who thought himself a man.
Your kindness and sensitivity he
Used for his own good
Your worth and trust misused - misunderstood.
You deserve so much more than a coward
Who lacks the integrity to face his
Honour, fufill his duty.

My dearest friend, though the depth of
Your troubles I may not fully understand
I'll be here to help and support you
Beside you I stand

When you feel yourself falling or
Stumbling in your way
When darkness overwhelms you and
Frustration engulfs you more than words can say
Just reach out beyond the silence
And grip my hand tight
Draw courage and strength within you
In the end things WILL be all right.
