Virgin caught in devils dance begotten by his smile Her values and her morals shall stand against his force She always claimed how strong she was No man could break her down But one look into his deep brown eyes her morals began to crumble With every single solemn touch her faith in values began to fall He kissed her gently on her head she backed away in fear "Please, stand back don't you understand this isn't what I want" I promised not to break down and give myself away Now I stand here in front of you body quivering in fear please don't hate me my dear love I can't let myself go I can't let everyone down because honestly I swore to take care of myself and never let it go Until the day when you say those 3 honored words to me I promise that I love you dear but that simply will not suffice I can not be with you now because my angels will cry to the heavens above if my values do not hold up But as many times as you have said to me "If you love me.." perhaps just this once you should listen too If you love me let me do what is meant for me to do Let me hold my values close to my heart for I will not let them go No matter how close I dance to the devil My virginity will not go! |

I am glad that you are sticking to your values, if he really loves you them he will understand. It seems these that most people are in a rush to lose their virginity. It is nice to see someone who wants their first time to be a special occasion. I really enjoyed your poem. ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? " Douglas Adams. Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky "You have your very own number They dress your cage in its nature Once you roared now you just grunt lame Pace around pathetic pound games Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky They drag sticks along your walls Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder Environment not yours you see through it all Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards |

I agree totally with the morals you describe in your poem....anyway, love is more than sex isn't it? Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Thank you both for your kind comments. Although many people often commend virgins it's sometimes looked down upon as well. I appreciate the praise. And yes love is more than sex. Good luck in your next writings and thank you for reading mine. |

Hi Angelwings, I cannot tell you how much I need to show this to my seventeen year old who think that something is wrong with her because she is still a vergin and of yet not had a boy friend, everyone around her is doing it so should she but sometimes somethings might be better if you wait, funny thing is she is waiting because of values she has placed on herself and wants to make the right choices, but life, peer preasure and wanting to fit in with the in thing can have a big factor in what choices you make. Very good advice and much courage for sharing it with the world, thank you so much. Love Cerenity |

No thank you Cerenity~ I wrote this poem for that simple reason. I just graduated high school and I'm turning 18 in a couple of months. This poem is written about my last boyfriend, my supposed first love. I have always planned on waiting until the perfect time. But you know sometimes it is hard not to. The thing that I found the most assuring was that my friends began respecting me for it. Although I may be one of a few people who seem to be withholding from sleeping with someone it is often the most wonderful thing for someone to find out. I broke up with this "love" of mine because he couldn't handle it. I just want you to tell your daughter how wonderful she truly is and how proud she should be for herself. It isn't an easy task to do and many times people will tease her about it, but it's more important to be true to yourself than anyone else! Congradulations are in order for your daughter and thank you for reading my poem. I hope you do share it with your daughter and tell her to feel free to e-mail me I'd love to talk with her. Thank you and good luck in your writings |

Angel, this should be posted on every streetpost across the continent. The values and morals in today's world seem to get lost in the rush of feelings and needs. Yet, standing tall and holding onto such precious a gift is the greatest treasure one may give to oneself and their future beloved when two hearts say their vows of i do's amongst family and friends. Thank you for sharing this poem. Coco |

AngelWings~ I'm pleased to see so many of the youth of today, young men and women alike, realizing that it's okay to stand up for your morals and 'choose' to wait. Wonderful post and wonderful advice to other young people. Hearing it from a peer will go a long, long way in affirming that abstinence is a choice. *Lil' Lizzie~ YES ! Much, much more. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
