Most Liked Ballad Poems (503)

Whats the meaning of a poem? Something noone can understand? A crypic message lost in meaning, for those that need it most, so we write words that only we can see, decipher it how it should be? I wonder why? Its not shakespere, its just how it is,, how it is here! So, this play on words, hey,, bird song, you are gone too long, so we wait for autumn and bird song, Or wonder why we exist,,, for what reason,,,lets make a list,,, we love it here,, the pain, the sorrow,, we look at the future, we look at the past, they died too young,,, didnt last, when you wake up as i hope you will, dont be a sheep, dont be still,,, take what it is,, take it home,you will realise that you are not alone!

I find that life can f*ck you, leave you all alone,I never asked to be here, I never knew I would, I never changed my world, you came into my life miraculously as one that I could see, I fell in love, instantly ,,, and its always been,,, just you and me! xx

I'm not you, you are not me?
but we are you see?
This seperation was meant to be,
find your place at your own pace,
be the you that you want to be,
then in time you will see,
OUR UNITY.

they said misfortune stalked you.. they said that life was hard
in the genetic school of poker
you were dealt the hardest card

a rogue gene: you misshapen henceforth they would detect
but all I see is beauty
in the poster I inspect

it was hard for me to process
I was new in town
I'd left a girl for the colour
of a certain wedding gown

she wanted picket fences
guess I was too remote
the only berth to interest me
was on a fishing boat

then I saw you in this poster
your eyes two drops of rain
I saw a man recoil from you
as if you held some blame

you followed me around town
I saw your face amongst the stars
I began to see you everywhere
in the licence plates of cars

you removed the night's wallpaper
to paint the air with sky
your beauty far too certain
to entertain a lie

so thank you girl for the memory
of the sky that melted blue
and all the pieces of your person.. stuck together with God's glue

I later met a Finnish angel
who photographed the wind
I sometimes see you in her work
as joy and kindness twinned

a lubberline in rougher seas
a searing bolt of spark
a poster hung inside my head
a friend in times of dark

In the rhythm of the universe, the night unfolds,
A tapestry of stars, a story to be told.
Its celestial ballet, a grand choreography,
Passion's dance of darkness, a divine symphony.

In depths of indigo, secrets are kept,
As Luna's soft glow, our dreams are swept.
Her silver beams, like whispers of desire,
Caress the earth, igniting love's own fire.

The night sky, a canvas, painted with grace,
Galaxies swirl, a cosmic embrace.
In every twinkle, a lover's vow,
With each pulsar's beat, passions avow.

The moon, a luminary, in love's embrace,
An eternal witness, to each heart's chase.
Its crescent smile, a lover's art,
A beacon guiding, from the start.

Beneath the night's veil, emotions bloom,
In the shadows cast, hearts find room.
With gentle sighs, the zephyrs play,
As night unveils its mystique display.

The universe's rhythm, a lover's plea,
In every quasar's flash, a mystery.
The passion of night, an enigmatic spell,
In cosmic silence, hearts compel.

So let us dance, beneath the stars,
In night's sweet serenade, no bars.
Embrace the universe's grace,
And let love's rhythm find its place.

If I could hold
the quill of truth
over the page
of unfolding story

and hold it still
and let the page itself
write the words
of your defining glory

if I could see
the candle
that lights the table
beside your bed

and see that light
in constant fight
against the dousing
tears you shed

but bitter winds
comb the sands
of the fragile breath
that you release

and war minds wait
in the long grass
as foil
against your peace

If I could read your name
in vast retreating sea
and follow the tides
in a raft made
from the bones
of you and me

I would pray
with actions
outside the gate
off all you hold.. most true

and guard from devils
and unworthy men
the very thing
that makes you 'you'

I could've had religion
but I loved God too much
I could've fought for a living
in boxing rings and such

but I guess we are who we are
and we can't outrun ourselves
and the traits that make us rounded
are often stored in others shelves

I could've been kinder
to the girls that shared my bed
I couldve talked and listened
and let some inside in my head

but the world's an inverted question mark
pointing to the east
and the sum of every good I've done
is balanced on a beast

the more dangerous the obstacle
the more determined I am in tone
see I've always been a protector
to every soul I've known

for work I mind for money
the wealthy and great
the affluent and healthy
beneath the cloak of fate

at home i shroud my family
by planning and device
a shield of hard experience
deep roots untouched by ice

I couldve had a different life
I couldve been carefree
I couldve swam in lukewarm ways
but I chose the Atlantic sea

as cold as knives each morning
as salt it licks my scars
I see the dawn's reflection
in a billion floating stars

when I tamed rage
and tried anew
a road emerged
that led to you

when I quit work
and made a career
I fed with tune
my starving ear

when darkness fell
about my boot
I shed the cloak
that hid the truth

when I buried hate
and then forgave
a poem grew
around the grave

I'm rough hewn Lil
you picked me still
to your North star
I'm the black

trace elements fly
to fill the sky..
you bring the things
I lack

I'm running Lil
I'm running still..
from the law
and from my sound

the man who fell
can lodge in hell
he tried to put me
in the ground

I found the Earth's rhythm
it bonded in my core
I get to trace a human face
each year at the General Store

say it in a sequence
of silent lullabies
say it in the echoed
phrases of goodbye

say it a way
that one day makes me care
say it so I kayak
through the rapids of your hair

say it without speaking
without thought or conscious guile
say it in a fraction
of the whole that makes you smile

say it loud in quiet halls
without worry or concern
say it in a foreign tongue
the one I'd never learn

say it by the way you walk
by the way your hips block light
say it by a waking kiss
in the middle of the night

say it as a tidal surge
impossible to curb
say it by actions only..
we both know love's a verb
