I gave this thread a pretty general name so other people can post their poems if they want. I'll put in the first poem to start it off.

A lot of things happen in a lifetime
So many things to remember
Many things you begin to know

Emotions take you on an endless ride
Going up, down, weaving big circles
With no apparent destination

Family you understand
The bond that holds together
That never does break apart

Friends come into play
Showing you how life is
And telling you how to handle it

Someone very special to you
Brings you into a whole new world
Leaving special memories behind

You like to do things
You have a favorite for everything
And never tire of it

Dreams are always there
Your goals, hopes, and thoughts
Are all revealed here

You've probably wished when the first star comes out,
Or while blowing out candles,
Or when you go through a long tunnel

You want to know everything
Experience only what you're willing to try
And just understand the universal question 'why'

A lot happens in a lifetime
But most of it goes unnoticed
And fades into a forgotten past

Never forget your past
But never dwell on it
They are all you keep until death

This poem is one that I thought of thinking of my girlfriend.

DREAMS
To dream is to dream of
one whom you love.
You know I love you with all
my heart baby.

I have deep within me
Turn my frowns upside down
Take me to exactly Turning me,
Loving you eternally.

I love dream of you
To dream is my only wish.

My lost love is found
now. I believe that you
came from above.

Dreams Lives on in
every one in encluding
The one I love the most.

if i'm not mistaken you are supposed to make your own threads to post your poetry in, unless this thread is just for any poem.

She said if you want to post your poems you could.

ok, sorry... i didn't see that. go ahead ^^

I like both your poems very much. I wish I could wright poetry. Tried once but er...not happening. I do know of a peom thay my brother wrote a long time ago, he has forgeten it, but I found it one day so I kept it.**runs off to find her brother poem**.

Thanks RedRaven. ^_^ Well, while RedRaven finds that poem, I'm gonna post another poem. ^_^ And here it is:

I looked into his eyes
At that moment I just knew
How much he meant to me
If I had only known before

He was such a great friend
I knew he wondered about me
What it would be like to be with me
But he never said a word

I wanted to ask him
But the love didn't seem strong enough
I was unsure and hesitant
I thought, maybe I've got him all wrong

But now I've got no more chances
He's promised himself to another
Now when I look in his eyes
I see what I've been missing

You wouldn't guess he loved me
He seems so happy with her
I wonder what it would have been
If I just had had enough courage back then

I feel him pulling away from me
I know he doesn't want to
But he has to for his girl
I understand this, but...

Nevermind, it's in the past
I've got no more excuses
These feelings are new
And can be easily dismissed

It's important to try
Even when you think you can't
You'll always wonder what things would've been
If you never try to try

Here's a poem I wrote for a friend of mine...

Dark, black
Fighting the pain
Cold, alone
Hiding it all away

Dream never
Hopes are all gone
Souls lost
Trying to get away

Bright light
Breaking the hurt
Kind words
Offering liberation

Hope won
Trusting the voice
Thoughts come
Dreams have returned

Life restored
Living once again
Future destiny
Never Forever

I like your pieces Setsuna! They are well-written, romantic and heartfelt. You've got talent!

The last piece though was very powerful and moving. I like. ^^. keep 'em comin'.

Thanx Tifa ^_^ Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I was having internet trouble. But now I'm back :D Well anyways, I wrote another poem. It won't be as great as the others, 'cause lately I've been having writer's block. So this one is really short. :o Here it is:

It's really strange
I didn't notice till now
But somehow you came into my world
You became everything to me

It seems like just yesterday
You gave your smile to me
Now here I am in your arms
Saying goodnight once again

Where did all the time go?
Did we miss it?
Did it pass us by?

Here I am, trying to think
Nothing answers me
Did I forget it all
Or was it too much to remember?

I don't know if I should be worried or afraid
I ask you what I should do
Then you simply smile and say,
"We can make more memories together."

Your poems are really very nice, Sestuna ^_^ I liked reading them because they caught my attention and were very interesting.

And also to Allan Schezar; Your poem was very nice, as well. I liked it and thought it was really kool ^^;

:)

Thanks so much OmegaZell :) It really means a lot to me that my poems are good to some people. I have to admit that sometimes I don't even like my own poems, so it's nice to know that others do. Okay, I've got another poem! *surprise* :D It's a little different from all my other poems, but I thought it was 'okay.' lol here it is:

Pretty Butterfly

Fly up high
Color in the sky
Pretty Butterfly
Take me away

Flutter from the night
Bask in sun's light
Pretty Butterfly
I'm wishing today

Light as a feather
Found in warm weather
Pretty Butterfly
I've got something to say

Float upon a cloud
Dance all around
Pretty Butterfly
I'm happy today

Delicate beauty
Spinning all around me
Pretty Butterfly
You've really made my day

Heh, I really like that last poem as it seemed really perky and all but the one before that was great to cos it seemed real and it had a lot of emotion in it. *Hugs and claps.* Encore, encore! ^_^

Thank you very much, Nozomi. :) I'm glad you liked that one poem that I wrote. That one really did come from my heart. I wrote this next poem awhile ago. This one has a title too! :D It's a person's name (nickname, really). I'm warning you; it's a little mushy (I know some people don't like mushy poems). Well, you've been warned. <~~heehee, I've always wanted to say that! :D

Nu'u

My kuuipo
You know what I mean
My only one
I know you believe

It's been hard
But we've pulled through
Nights have been so fun
Together with you

Been trying to say
But I can't seem to say
How I feel about you
Every night and day

I just want to be close
Just want to be with you
Is it just me?
Do you feel the same way too?

I'm afriad of being left behind
I don't want to lose you now
Tell me that things will stay how they are
Make a promise; make a vow

Maybe I'm asking too much
But I know you understand
There's no one else that understands like you
My darling...my knight...my man
