I Actually Wrote Poetry

[Warrior_of_god]

I wrote this...when I was thinking about my girlfriend...I don't write poetry, ever. This is the first poem I have written without guidlines, like for a class project. Anyway...without further adieu here is is:

 

Knowing it's futile

i'd do it anyway

If only to keep you

one more day

even though it may be futile i'd still try

to scream into the darkness

of the possible future that is mine

knowing that I would fail would only spur me on

to have you one second in failure

is better than to never have you in the light

fighting the darkness

is easier than losing you from my sight

hoping you'll be there

is better than not having you at all

and knowing you

was far better than the fall

the feelings youve stired in me youll never know

how strong they were

just like a bow

despite all this the darkness remains

haunting me

until cast to the flames

or perhaps only to be removed by your light

radiating ever so brightly

back in my sight

being with you, theres nothing i fear

except for the loss

of having you near

if I lose your radient light my two hopes are

that youll find peace

under the star

and should you choose to take my hand

that I can make you

understand

that ill be with you no matter the cost

protecting you

from the frost

and should you grace me out of sight

ill keep this diamond

in the light

all thats left is one thing to say

will you mary me tonight?

 

PS: Even I am not sure what it really means.

That is beautiful. You have talent!

[Warrior_of_god]

Heh, I think talent may be an overstatement. As I said I have never written poetry before without fairly rigid guidelines. This was a very spur-of-the-moment kind of thing too, no planning went into it, I just wrote what i felt.

good poem!

[RankStranger]

I wrote a poem mostly by accident the other day. Went like this:

 

I like to do what I ought.

So I ought to do what I like.

That seems free enough to me.

But who do you reckon defines "ought"?

'Cause if it ain't me,

Then that ain't 'free'.
