 I've come to a place In my life today Where sadness and pain replace The happiness you brought my way You said you'd never go That you'd be here I trusted you so And you took away my fear You broke my dreams And crushed my soul I'm alone it seems And will never be whole I thought you were my reason For life and breath The changing season Now becomes my inner death You killed the hope and the dreams You laughingly took it all away Without second thought it seems As if you knew it would end this way So walk away, don't look back And give no thought to me While I lay here in the black Hiding so you won't see Soon the season will turn And then I'll once again shine But give me a moment to burn In the pain that you have made mine This is my favorite because it was my turning point, in life and in poetry...Thank you S.S. for making me dig!! |

Our favorites seem to be the poems that had a sentimental attachment, same with mine that I posted Butterflies. This was a wonderful verse ... I particularly liked your last verse: "Soon the season will turn And then I'll once again shine But give me a moment to burn In the pain that you have made mine" Positive outlook at the end to move forward ... well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

Butterfly.....This one still overwhelms me when I read it......... God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Butterflies DC, this is a beautiful poem...no problem in seeing why it would be a favorite, I can feel the positive shining in thru the pain. Lovely!! 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." |

now that wasn't so hard was it LOL (ducking as SS throws shoe at screen)  perfect pick girl... heres to digging deep and turning points... heres to butterflies taking flight thanx for picking one for me... love ya girl later, me I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Butterflies DC~ This was an excellent choice to JM's challenge. I really loved this poem- full of such sadness YET also full of such hope for tomorrow. I am glad that you had a turning point and dug down deep into your inner-self...that is not an easy thing to do I admire you and wish you much love and happiness for the future. Now if Janet would let us take a breather...that'd be nice lol. Just kidding Jan...ya know I love you. Great poem you got here. Amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

WOW words straight for the heart. thanks for sharing a wonderful poem, I really love the last verse. We all have to have time alone to release our pain before we continue living. Soon the season will turn And then I'll once again shine But give me a moment to burn In the pain that you have made mine ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |

Hi They were really beautiful words. I begin to love nature when I lost my love. Eventhough I'm alone I'm beginning to like it for it'll change only with seasons but human minds take only a fraction of a second to change. It's all sh**. Sincerely A_L |
