Most Liked Ballad Poems (503)

I met her yesterday, I asked for a picture I got one eye, no body shot, nothing, but that eye that looked into my soul, and now, yesterday has turned into years, she dispelled my fears, she made me the man i wanted to be, someone I could be proud of for someone to see, now I am real, now I can feel, she is my wonderful entity, that I will love for eternity!

I won't respond if you say this or that, I won't
be available for nonsense chat, I won't accept
text or anything next, I won't reply if I think you
lie, I won't be here to communicate, I won't, I
won't...this is so......why am I alone?....I just
don't know.

you and me
sitting on the edge
of memory

the radio sings
about the things
we want to do

your kisses bring
a rising spring
of honeydew

its gonna be a long memory

searching for the taste
of your sweet love

it's been a long time
since I tasted new

a girl like you

you and me
a bittersweet
elegy

the headlights tune
the sun and moon's
durability

and all the world's
a beautiful girl
as far as I can see

its gonna be a long memory
searchin' for the shape
you left behind

the air is blue
and I am too

inside my mind

there was a girl in china
but the radio signal died
I told her we were hundred
to keep her spirit but I lied

people started dropping
in the spring of seventeen
the white coat fellas called it
it was nothing they had seen

I am a collection of bones
my heart is hollowed out
every molecule migrated
to the continent of doubt

bones be best of me
drum like on my skin
if my loving folk could see me
they would not call me kin

infection steals my lungs
my spirit now wiped clean
alive thanks to seaweed
the root of food and iodine

I trip along a promise
to the wife I left behind
a shuffled wreck upon the deck
a birthday wish to save my mind

she told me to honour
the day that she was born
to mark that day in a special way
before she slept beneath the corn

this old abandoned airfield
it took me years to try
there ain't no practical virtue
I don't know how to fly

alone in this maelstrom
I hunt a haunted 'why'?
but do it still I know I will
write her name across the sky

Can't wait 'til night,
To hold you tight.
Dreaming of you,
Seems like no clue.

But everyday,
I'm making way.
I hope you feel it deep,
When you go to sleep.

In distance,
Like no assurance.
But still falling,
Cares and keep believing.

That's no ordinary love.

Can I then take the pain?
Will I be more stronger then?

Do you remember,
It was your promise 'til for'ver?

It's still you I'd call,
Over and over I'd fall.

I came from the sea
I came from the sea
is that woman still there
does she still wait on me?

I toiled on the sea
I toiled on the sea
until I took a man's life
who tried to take mine from me

I fled the sea
I fled the sea
and hid inside the bark
of a lonesome tree

until lonlieness
of the mind and heart
did lead me to a door
I didn't want to live
inside a tree anymore

I knocked on a door
and her eyes met mine
and two more below in furs
that took chase
against some distant noise
that wasn't mine or hers

the clock above the mantle
swung its arms around the hours slow
as if by chance
the golden bars
had never been aglow

and as days came and went
as tide outside the door
her loneliness wed mine
and was no more

alas fate did intervene
a year inside our faithful dance
some off duty cop
sniffed something off
at some off duty dance

a smile upon a face
that had never seen a smile before
and my hand in hers
too much for this neighbour to ignore

he made the call and suddenly
all my world
was framed by iron bars
assorted lawyers.. judges.. cars

my story was spun on the lips
of legal spin
how I had killed a man
and robbed him of his kin

his blade to my neck
neither mentioned or reffered
but justice was seen to be done
and thus.. justly served

she waits in dreams
with the boy who calls me fondly.. dad
the only time of love and peace
my madness ever had

Unseen
Silent your there
Can't be seen
You wander
You lurk
Victims you seek
The weak the volunable
The sick
Victims of all to the ends of earth
From victims breath you lurk
You don't care
For your the killer of the weak

fragments of stories
half heard in the inn
awoke in me fires
stoked by the gin

catherine anne moored
in secret twilight
buckled neath bullion
jewelled to it's height

a vast templar treasure
won by the blade
fortunes were lost
to greater one's made

made fame in fortune
in furnace of hell
to purchase a passage
to where her boards dwell

war steed I bought
to reach holy land
travelling savagely
mountain to strand

I found her in summer
asleep in her bed
I swam into darkness..

down to the dead
