Most Liked Ballad Poems (504)

One day in life, I may know
That what I feel will really show
I'll be not anymore afraid
Of worthless thoughts that I have made
Of shining parts my heart contains
I'll spur my horse, grip tight the reins
That whom I love shall really know
Once I was in fear to show

Silly said I want to know
For why you are Oh I'm too slow
Better well that you shall go
Or say while others smile, they know

OH MY LOVE IS A RED, RED ROSE,
THAT'S NEWLY SPRUNG IN JUNE.
OH MY LOVE IS LIKE A MELODY,
THATS SWEETLY PLAYED IN TUNE
Robert Burns.

A cry of any living thing
Is so hard to bear.
To save a life, that's all it takes,
You feel a glow that was not there.
A baby needing a warm touch,
A dog fighting to stay alive.
An animal running from being hunted,
An accident in sight.
Some brave soul gives a helping hand
So one may see the light.
Do not hurt the innocent babe,
Or beat an animal till it dies.
There are people who want to help
Each living, hurting soul.
They want to stop the cries out there.
It only takes a little time,
And when you have done a goodly deed,
One has peace inside.
Sue Lee Hart

Mine tears are falling. Alas mine soul is wilting. I fell in love with a passing dream. The delicate whisper in the dark. Thou art not true to thine or I. Where dwelt once the starry night, heavens weep for the lies on thy frozen forked tongue. No rose which is to smell as sweet or wake mine to thy dawn? Hail to thee, God's of mercy, I beg you to take my red bleeding chest for another of thy worthiness. This sadness of sorrow burdens mine shoulders. Doth I stay forever in this cave that is my refuge, not to touch thine hand again or to wear thy encirclement upon mine hand. Confessions shared, a secret kept, forever you will weep. I crouched first at the feet of the uncertain Christian and then found solace in the Pagan hero of the hour. By cast not throw stones, but your pretty words to titter the young maidens forever more. Mine dragon hath reared his head in my stead, forever where I dwell, he will surely follow. By the sway of errant winds upon the seas, the sonnet has been read aloud in the temple. Mine dragon guards dual body and soul. This holy fire breaths truth upon this troubled time. A wreath of fire encircles mine hand in turn from yours, wrought that it be, at bay if be ye not to knock. Forever is only thine moment in time.

Stay awake tonight
till the mornin light
don't rest upon your bed
though your pillow is soft and deep
your not as sleepy as you seem
stay awake dont nod and dream
stay awake dont nod and dream

It started way back when I was young
I believed that life was gonna be fun
Started walking that hard road on my own
And I grew up quick learning back street tricks
I was seven years old smoking cigarettes
I guessed I stepped over the party line
Started living on borrowed time.
Chorus.
I see my baby on a one way track, she never moving forward so shes never coming back
It doesnt matter what I say .coz Karma,s gonna get ya at the end of the day ( ch2 add on ).....always living on borrowed time.

V2 Right now seemed so far away,, not that long ago
And the falling speed falling from grace I got vertigo
But theres not alot that we can do to turn back the hands of time.
And even less to leave the scene of the crime.
Stuck here living on borrowed time.

Chorus (rpt)
Ch2 add on
Running her mouth off all over the place. but aint no one listening cause your always off your face.

I met her but she aint got far drinking luke warm piss talking shit at the bar

always living on borrowed time
always living on borrowed time
always borrowing time.

for my Angel of the North

On your way through life you collect some things that you found,
Larger things may have gravity, to which you feel bound,
But if, like me, you discard things or rent to save cost,
You will only ever remember the things that you lost.

I wandered the world twelve years all alone,
Anchored to nothing, nowhere to call home,
The desert came calling; the dunes whispered ‘Go’,
No rain ever falling, expectations were low.

Drifting along through sand, dust and sun,
A real life outlawed, no chance any fun,
The price of exclusion, extinguish the fire,
An outcast should know when he becomes a pariah.

You see a desert is defined by the amount of rain falling,
Just as a man is defined his name they are calling,
Yet what was this on the horizon now building?
Dark nimbus clouds, could the desert be yielding?

Without calling it Christmas so as not to offend,
Little else going on so I had to attend,
The party was where her glowing smile first warmed me,
That dress and those curves, I so needed to see.

Fragrant the air, dust and new rainfall mixing,
A great storm was now brewing, overhead it was fixing,
Tiny raindrops I could feel at first at the dance,
Her eyes shone so bright, I was hers to entrance.

“Forget it” they told me, “She’s out of your league”
The facts can’t deter, my desire won’t fatigue,
A strange silence in the taxi as our hands almost touch,
I doubt she’ll ever know I wanted her so much.

The rain became steady now, she filled every thought,
Over dinner the next night our shy glances were caught,
Each idea, word and smile realised our connection,
Understanding her soul I glimpsed universal perfection.

But I bid her ‘Goodnight’ at the hotel lobby door,
And under the clear desert moonlight it started to pour,
It had been thirty years since I was a teen,
But she made me feel so alive, so young and so keen.

The old and the new, from the land of the sea,
To another she was promised, she kept nothing from me,
Such a short time and I knew I’d crave more,
To live in the moment and forget tomorrow’s war.

When the stars stop shinning,
And the wind begins to blow
Ill still be here smiling,
can you feel my warm glow.
The world you know so heavy,
Full of darkness sorrow and pain,
Take my hand sweet child,
Ill shelter you from the rain.
Together we can move the clouds
An let the sun rays shine on everyone
Come now little darling together we become one.

The wind blowing through my hair,
The sand hitting my face,
Theres such a cold breeze
it hurts,You then take my hand
and put it in yours to keep warm
because being with you is like the sun
the sun shinning and your touch is like
the heat of the sun on my skin,
You brighten up my day with your presence,
Your my lover my soul mate,
You are the one who saved me from
the dark storm and took me into the light
For you my darling you
You are my sunshine xxx
