in the pouring rain

painting a vivid picture
upon the blurry state of mind
i let you watch as i smile
drawing you slowly to me

i knew i shouldn't try
new powers unto myself
yet i persist and smile more
closer you come shall you be

likness shown through conversation
lacking basic structure
everything i know crumbles
beneath my slinking feet

shall i laugh so more
to love me even spite
the simple answer is yes
for i do not know my strength

years from now i look back
to the way i smile laugh along
i shake my head in shame
knowing i shouldn't have tryed

yet there you sit years ago
just catching what glimpse you may
in my head the song i know plays
that you sang to me that night

listening i sang along making it worse
wanting so bad to push away
my eyes see lips slowly moving
inplanting in my mind

watching i hear you sing
about many moons ago
when you first saw my smile
and heard my dreadful laugh

i am scared of what will happen
knowing inside of my head
that nothing will be alright now
all because you watched me

you saw my smile and couldn't resist
as many before have done
laughing along gorgeous shunned
no played with my mind

soon the idea got to be good
yet the intention seemed to worse
i got even a smile back
luring me in as well

now as i lay in bed tonight
i think to myself what done
i know somehow i did the right thing
i turn and to your smile

To the world you maybe a person, but to a person you maybe the world

So you are just a beginner, aye? Well you certainly show a real talent! I do have a question, is there any reason you do not capitalize "I", or do you just not feel like it? Just curious! I particularly enjoyed the first verse, you did a very good job at catching the reader's attention here. I look forward to viewing more of your work!

If you're just beginning, then you're not allowed to stop, okay Cause if you stop, then I won't be able to watch you develop the talent that I can see Great job so far with your writing!

Wow, this was very good, especially since you call yourself a "beginner".  This was not a beginner's work!   I like the whole idea of your smile luring him in.  Very good job with this! Hope to see more!!

Always,
Nikki
