The feelings fell like rain that day
Puddles reflected like pain that day
Failing to dampen the shame today
But washing the sound of your name away.

The love could only try that day
Time could find no lie that day
The trees could only bend and sway
The streets to wash their tears away

The wind blew with fear that day
The clouds far too near that day
The sun cannot show it's face today
It longs to shine down on yesterday

When your voice was not so far away
Your smiles to fill my everyday
When I only lived in fear of the day
When God would steal your breath away.

This is great. For your first poem ever, or one of them, this is an excellent way to start. It just really hurts me that we have to feel so bad to be so passionate.

some catchy lines. pretty good for a first poem!

...and yes, alot of poetry is derived from sadness --but from that sadness come pieces of writing that people enjoy reading and makes them happy to have read a good piece. So out of sadness comes good things as well. Ok I'll stop rambling aimlessly now.
