Don't Want To See
Don't want to
hear you cry
in the dark
Blaming yourself
for missing
the mark
Don't want to
see the world
change your
heart
You're the same
as you were
right from
the start
Don't like to
see you knock
yourself down
It breaks my
heart to see
you frown
Don't want to
see you waste
your life
Scratching for
love whether
husband or
wife
Don't want to
see you spend
life alone
Sitting on your
bed
Waiting by
the phone
Don't want to
see you trying
to measure up
To attract that
love who would
fill your cup
So, I've taken
your pain upon
myself
Lifted your heart
from a lonely
shelf
I've suffered
those dark nights
right by your
side
And grieved in
my heart
the times you
cried
Yes, you're worth
every tear drop
I've saved them
all
My loving arms never
let's you fall
hear you cry
in the dark
Blaming yourself
for missing
the mark
Don't want to
see the world
change your
heart
You're the same
as you were
right from
the start
Don't like to
see you knock
yourself down
It breaks my
heart to see
you frown
Don't want to
see you waste
your life
Scratching for
love whether
husband or
wife
Don't want to
see you spend
life alone
Sitting on your
bed
Waiting by
the phone
Don't want to
see you trying
to measure up
To attract that
love who would
fill your cup
So, I've taken
your pain upon
myself
Lifted your heart
from a lonely
shelf
I've suffered
those dark nights
right by your
side
And grieved in
my heart
the times you
cried
Yes, you're worth
every tear drop
I've saved them
all
My loving arms never
let's you fall

starsign challenge. (A Scorpio's Kiss)
A Scorpios kiss...
A scorpios kiss,
Is one not to miss
A suculant dish,
Of secret myths.
A sensual being,
That's hypnotic, yet
Appealing.
Revealed in the eyes
A stare that paralyze
The object of a heart's
Desire.
That dwells in, a loving
Disguise.
Is magnified & personified
By intuition, they thrive.
There emotional ties,
Abhors sufferation, of any kind.
In justice they seek,
To help provide for the meek.
If the cause is worthy,
there loyalty, is unswearving.
Brutal honesty, often misunderstood
For trying to do good.
Although humorous,
creative & kind
Oversensitive nature,
is perceived
A most negative vibe.
But with each kiss
There is a dangerous twist!!!!
When hurt they bring,
A most painful sting!!!!
A self defense mechanism
Sealed with a kiss!!!!
From a scorpios lips:)

About this poem:
I am a scorpion:) lolThanks Spartacus & lady m, for the challenge.
A fun write, that hasn't been done in awhile!!!:) Ty...
My (own) knight in shining armour!
If one day my heart has been broken
You don’t need to fix it for me
If my dreams have all been shattered
Please just leave every piece with me
If my friends and a wayward lover
Have abandoned me in tears
You will see I am a survivor
Though I might drown in brandy and beers :)
If life has knocked me in the teeth
I will go to see the dentist (lol)
Don’t heal me with your soothing balm
I’ll win all problems over time :)
And if ill fortune follows me
I’ll just keep running away (lol)
Or if whenever I feel down
I‘ll stand up by my own from now :)
What e'er it is that troubles me
I will set them all go free
I promise I will always be
My (own) knight in shining armour!!!

About this poem:
:") I loved 'Your knight in shining armour' by Mr. Fellsman so I wrote this one. ^__^ And I always think we should be our (own) knight, we should be strong. ^__^ Cheers!Ref: "Your knight in shining armour" by Fellsman
If your aching heart's been broken
I can fix it all for free
If your dreams have all been shattered
Just leave everything to me.
If your friend or wayward lover
Has abandoned you, my dear
I will help you to recover
That I promise without fear.
If life's left you bruised and battered
I will be your soothing balm
Taking care of all your problems
And I'll see you take no harm.
Should ill fortune come your way
That dragon I shall slay
Or if you're simply feeling low
I'll chase your blues away
What e'er it is that troubles you
I'll send you soothing Karma
You may be sure I'll always be
Your knight in shining armour.
Bye Bye Bernie
Bye bye Bernie
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel I'm gonna cry
With all our hope goodbye
There goes my health care
There goes my free college tuition
There goes my 15 dollars an hour
There goes my voice
It will be replaced by a laughing witch and a rapist
Bye bye Bernie
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I think I'm gonna cry
With all my hope goodbye
And here's the reason I'm not free
Those bought off politicians stole it all from me
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel I'm gonna cry
With all our hope goodbye
There goes my health care
There goes my free college tuition
There goes my 15 dollars an hour
There goes my voice
It will be replaced by a laughing witch and a rapist
Bye bye Bernie
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I think I'm gonna cry
With all my hope goodbye
And here's the reason I'm not free
Those bought off politicians stole it all from me

About this poem:
A parody of the Everly Brothers Bye Bye Love. Hillary seems to have it in the bag and Trump seems to be there to help her.Wishful Thinking
I wander alone through this murky wood
Thoughts of you once again fill my head
Will you walk this wood with me someday?
Carve our names on a tree?
Will you take my hand and place it on your heart, kiss my lips, promise we'll never be apart?
Will you catch me when I fall, love me, warts and all?
Is it just wishful thinking?
Or can it be, you also dream of me?
And so as I walk closer to the end of this long and lonely path
I look up to the clouds and whisper
"One day I'll find my way, for now though, come what may"

Post CommentThe honor is mine
The thought of meeting you
Keeps me up at night
All those poems you wrote
Sunk deep in my soul
I've stirred a course through
Loves sea
And you've been the wind in
My sails
So sad that my hands cannot
Cup your cheek
I send you my tears in a golden
Bottle
I tear my flesh for love unfulfilled
May destiny have compassion on
the desires of my hungry heart
May my eyes close on this dark
And lonely world
May I wake to find you hand and
Hand walking through streets of
Gold
Only then shall we walk in the
Eternal smile
Keeps me up at night
All those poems you wrote
Sunk deep in my soul
I've stirred a course through
Loves sea
And you've been the wind in
My sails
So sad that my hands cannot
Cup your cheek
I send you my tears in a golden
Bottle
I tear my flesh for love unfulfilled
May destiny have compassion on
the desires of my hungry heart
May my eyes close on this dark
And lonely world
May I wake to find you hand and
Hand walking through streets of
Gold
Only then shall we walk in the
Eternal smile

Letting Go
Last night I dreamt of you
I woke up feeling blue
I ask myself is it really you
Could this be true
I beg you to stay
You always turn and walk away
Leaving me sad and blue
My mind plays tricks
Too late to fix
I have to let you go
Before I grow to old
Truth be told
I fear being alone
I woke up feeling blue
I ask myself is it really you
Could this be true
I beg you to stay
You always turn and walk away
Leaving me sad and blue
My mind plays tricks
Too late to fix
I have to let you go
Before I grow to old
Truth be told
I fear being alone

Awareness
Powers that be never give up
Or forget how to put you down
Drowning you in their oppression
Fills the car full of clowns
When every time you speak
They try to shut you up
Because they think you’re weak
But yea you know you’re strong
So stand up and be counted
Let your voice be heard
Even if it has to be shouted
Which is really not absurd
Don’t hide away your feelings
Or ever let your spirit die
Don’t ever lower ceilings
And make it harder to breath
Just in order to survive
We’ll watch out for each other
Being nice is only a disguise
Stemming from an inferiority
Such an awkward awareness
Will not always look so beguile
Lessons learned in fairness
Never goes out of style
Or forget how to put you down
Drowning you in their oppression
Fills the car full of clowns
When every time you speak
They try to shut you up
Because they think you’re weak
But yea you know you’re strong
So stand up and be counted
Let your voice be heard
Even if it has to be shouted
Which is really not absurd
Don’t hide away your feelings
Or ever let your spirit die
Don’t ever lower ceilings
And make it harder to breath
Just in order to survive
We’ll watch out for each other
Being nice is only a disguise
Stemming from an inferiority
Such an awkward awareness
Will not always look so beguile
Lessons learned in fairness
Never goes out of style

About this poem:
Free speech
Kiss of hands
Did you hear about kisses of hands?
So there is a wish to whisper to You about it
They kiss, through piercing with light,
Squeeze a breast delight of sweet torments …
When you run a finger, slowly
In the area of her short life
Will respond a palm, slightly breathing
Her soul on these hands letters …
Kiss hands devoutly and passionately.
her breath and hearts knock.
And every moment it is fine
In embraces of the kissing hands …
Did you hear about kisses of hands?
They can't be silly and rough.
So the first beam sticks into the sky of a lip,
So begins stories about "suddenly"

Where Do I Fit
Down a dirt road, I ride
Trying to forget and clear my mind
But thoughts are not easy to fade
When I remember you say
That I am nothing
And you want something
More than I can give
Why do I even live
You want someone like me
You just don't want me
I feel like this disgusting thing
You hold your nose up in front of me
Like you can't breathe
Like I'm the disease
Do I mean anything
According to you, nothing
So as I drive, I think
And my heart sinks
It's become a bottomless pit
Where in all this do I fit
Trying to forget and clear my mind
But thoughts are not easy to fade
When I remember you say
That I am nothing
And you want something
More than I can give
Why do I even live
You want someone like me
You just don't want me
I feel like this disgusting thing
You hold your nose up in front of me
Like you can't breathe
Like I'm the disease
Do I mean anything
According to you, nothing
So as I drive, I think
And my heart sinks
It's become a bottomless pit
Where in all this do I fit
