Maybe now you'll know

You made me skip broken heart beats
but still thats nothing new
I smile when I see your face
but thats been done before
*
I used to seein smiles and hugs
but yours is something more
I dont know how this can be true
this is why I liked you
*
Your safe warm hugs i know I need
are tight and never end
Your smile mirrors on my face
and wipes away my pain
*
My heart stops cause of what I know
and what I meant to you
As you brought me something to love
by simply being you
*
With just one blink I see your face
As clear as bright blue seas
And yet I see the memories
that still can make me smile
*
You always meant so much to me
but in so many ways
So once you asked why I liked you
Well maybe now you'll know

About this poem:
I had the most amazing best friend, who had everything a girl would love both from his personality and looks but he constantly doubted himself. As I used to like him he always asked what did you ever like about me every time he felt insecure and I could never come up with the right words so I wrote this. And from love to friendship its still true to this day

If only u could see the missing puzzle piece

I sometimes wish that you would see,
that I'm in front of you,
and hear my calls to you at night,
where I am here alone,
I wonder if you notice how,
I care so much for you,
but it seems that I shall be nothing,
to you forever more,
someday I hope you turn around,
and see what's truly there,
a girl that is a perfect piece,
that fits into your heart.

Your Presense

Your touch is like the sun's bright rays
that fill me up with warmth
They always bring me light and life
With just one single touch

When your not here black storms gather
And raindrops fade my colour
Darkness falls another petal
Is broken with its touch

But your light still lingers inside me
While clouds cover your rays
I stay and wait for your return
As slow time passes by

The clouds begin to slowly break
while you are by my side
Your touch brings joy deep within me
and once again I'm free

A petal starts to slowly grow
while you are by my side
You take away my rough sharp thorns
And then reveal a rose

Priceless gem [5-7-5 challenge]

Sometimes the simplest
things in life can be a gift
most precious with love

Blue Skies of Mercy

Green plums
The famished one will eat them
but will find the taste
bitter.

Cold rain
drowns wind, its chill eating one’s heart
but the scent gives life
to souls.

Worn string
on harp, used near to breaking
but its note, played, is
hope-filled
always.

Italian lover
My tongue licks you all over
You're like sweet clover

my 1st haiku for cs

silence is footprint
of leaf shorn from branch
before the winter

About this poem:
5-7-5, right?
Please tell me I got it right.
But no, ... no compliments necessary.
& I probably should stop going crazy with the ease of publication on this site... (?)
But it is a real privilege, and I must be sure not to abuse it.

WINGS

wings of gossamer

gently pulsating the air

butterflies in flight
