In an upside-down garden

0 posted 2002-03-07 04:40 PM


Will you brush my hair out of my eyes
gaze at me intently
and never let me slip between the cracks
of my mind?
Can I run my fingers through your hair
kiss you so sweetly
and never have to explain anything
that I do?
Would you let me listen as you play
songs on your guitar
and never stop so I can hear the melody
of my heart?

Will you paint my heart with stories
give me more memories
and never make me worry about something simple
like forgetting you?
Can you let me love you like this
never wanting to leave
and never having to let go
of my love?
Would you let me sing to you and fill
your soul with music
and never worry about being empty again because
I'd have you?
Can you be my one true love and replace all
the bad in life
and never make me worry about
life without you?
Will you let me kiss your hand, tracing
your fingers with mine
and never wonder when
you'll pull away?
Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.

I must admit seeing ---- in the middle of a poem does kind of detract from a poem, although I think that you could have written a toned down version for pip. Anyway it was a most enjoyable read and thank you for sharing it with us.

Allysa, you'd be better to edit it out completely rather than leave something like that in the middle of the piece. Mind you, it can also work with the music of the heart thing. Sort of like bars for music.

Nice sentiments in it with good expression. Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

It just didn't feel right without that verse.
Ya know, when you can hear things in your mind and it doesn't work without a certain part. Sorry.

Thanks for replying.

I don't know what you changed about it, but it sounds good to me. Maybe it's better I was late, cause I liked it alot.

hey, i really enjoyed this poem.  in the beginning and middle i honestly thought it would be kind of a naive, but at the end you made it better by saying not to pull away and that really moved me.  it is a good love poem, but it still lets you see the uncertainty that love has (if that makes any sense to you) well anyways...i still think it was great and i am glad you shared it.

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-
