It's that wonderful day.People are confessing, some already dating
Hearing so much “I love you”, it’s driving someone crazy
So let’s exchange hatred with love and just get along
And celebrate the day by listening to a corny song

Singles shouldn’t cry or start weeping inside
Just wait for the one, even if it takes a long time
Couples show your love, but explicitly has always been grime
Nimble kisses and a hug, anything else will be when you reside

Just remember to show care to the one who’s fair
It’s Valentine’s Day after all, and I’m sure you’re aware
That the “special someone” is waiting

I'll wipe off your tearsTrust me when I say this, everything will be alright
I’ll be here, to comfort you every moment of your life
Cry on my chest if you like, only if it lets you feel right
Because I will always be here, right by your side

I know some things can be unexpected,
And sometimes the bad can’t be evaded
But I’ll try my best, so you can be able to rest
And I’ll try my best to relieve you from stress

Because I care too much to leave you with pain
It tears my heart to see you like this again
You’ve told me to step back, but it's too sad and tiring
I promise you, this will be the last time you’ll be crying

Please, don't give up.You’re not alone, even if you feel such sorrow
Please try to calm your mind and forget about tomorrow
I know that life can hurt, but from my happiness you can borrow
Please don't cry anymore, I will help you with the troublesome morrow

Even if the bad seem to be everywhere you go
Just keep in mind that you have to stay away from what’s below
And I know that you’ll learn from these bad experiences
So then you can help those who are inexperienced

Please don’t be sad, everyone has a reason for his or her existence
You can’t ever give up, push through and have resistance
The worst thing you could do is to l

Sincerest Hope

I'm not looking for sobs, I'm not looking for tears
I'm praying that you'd want to transform the rest of your years
That you'd make that decision that would deliver you from all of your fears
And that all the confusion in your mind would be finally cleared

It's been so long, but I'm still here
Praying and believing that you'll let God near
That one day I'd wake up to the sound of music in my ear
Hearing your voice worship, singing, how Jesus changed your life after so many years

I'd often ask my self Why is this so important?
Why not give up the hope and just ignore it?
Why feel discouraged when I hear you're still exploring?
Frustrated whe

Leave your past behind.

I know that you remember all of those bitter moments
But what is it worth for to keep those memories working
They’re not making you happy; they’re just making you hopeless
Then follows depression from the feelings that you’ve let lurking

Because you went through it, but you relive it every moment
When it’s all in your mind and you’re making it a necessary component
It’s just jarring to your heart, yet you keep it for your mind is uncertain
Many broken hearts, from family to friends, something you won’t admit was certain

I’ve been like you, for months to years, having a mind that’s unc

Rain reflectsYou walk around, your leg throbbing, slightly confused… how did I get here? Your heart beats in your chest intensely and rapidly; sweat drips off your forehead. Your vision become’s steady and your eyes focus on the forest floor. Your knees give in and you collapse onto your back, through the branches you see glistening light, beaming through the leaves, coating you in a yellow glow. Where am I? You attempt to stand, slightly painful but bearable. You look down at your bare feet as they lead you forward, through the trees, Who am I? You open your hands and look thoroughly at your fingers; you move them up closer to your face and

Between G and E MinorI once dreamed that I was alone,
Trapped in darkness with an empty chest.
This was my childhood, and no dream,
And in darkness did I walk for so long,
Alone, with empty hands, no friend in
The world, and no love for it from me.
But I turned my head, and saw light,
From eyes so bright, I was blinded by
Beauty, brightness which turned the
Darkness white with love, and hope for
A brighter future, in which love was
Blind and life worth living.
I turned to white that day, and swore
That I would never return to such blackness,
That love would live like a candle in my heart,
Bringing light where darkness once walked, and
That I would

An Ode To DorianOn this dark and stormy night,
I’ll dance the ballet – I think I might
Go crazy in this black little room,
Amidst the sleet, the snow, the gloom.
I’ll sit and ponder forever more,
What waits beyond yonder door?
And as I wait for the skies to light,
I dream of the birds who yearn for flight.

A single candle in the corridor,
Stops for a moment – outside my door
Is there a world like I have never seen,
Or a person that I have never been?
A crack in the corner – is that a mouse?
But I swear I was alone with the house,
With this tortured soul and crippled knee,
And only my portrait for company.

The Show Must Go On.The Show Must Go On.

You’re meant to be sad,
As long as the flowers last.
Well at least that’s what they say.
Then why do I still feel bad,
Even though time has passed.
I find myself thinking about you everyday.
After mourning and mourning,
On the dawning of the next morning.
Your unplanned departure will still be daunting.
How am I supposed to grasp your sudden disappearance?
When every time I close my eyes I can see your appearance.
How can I class your death as an untimely interference?
One that is destined to occur throughout my life time and time again.
These engraved names are the people I call my family, confidants and

ConfectionsSentiments and caramel mints
love is sweet
this is what you really meant

when you sighed
the world goes round
when you breathe
I won't make a sound

Oh, you're the one
Oh, you know you're the one

Cherry lips, blossom lips
Let me see you swing your hips
stay with me
We can take a little trip

Things so sweet
We can taste a bubblegum rain
And whisper softly through the pain

Oh, you're the one
Oh, you know you're the one

cherry lips, xylophone ribs
let me feel you shake your hips
play with me
We can take a little trip

Words so sweet
taste the strawberry rain
Our hearts were made to endure pain

Oh, you're the one
Yes, you know you're the on

This Is Our PoemThis is our time
living our prime.
This is our light in the dark.
Let it shine.
This is our race
keeping our pace.
This is our eye of the storm.
Let it rain.
This is our knife
carving our life.
This is our love for the lost.
Let it flow.
This is our seed
planting our need.
This is our hope for the land.
Let it grow.
This is our code
writing our ode.
This is our word for the young.
Let it speak.
This is our praise
blessing our days.
This is our path through the fog.
Let it run.
This is our bone
setting our tone.
This is our warmth in the cold.
Let it burn.
This is our blood
soaking our mud.
This is our strength in the war.
Let it rise.
This is our poem
reading our tome
building our home
ending our roam.
This is our peace in the pain.
Let it be.

Fingerpainted ExistenceI run away with my imagination...

Take me by surprise
your sandpaper lips against mine.
Forgetting the fingerspaces
we'd drilled into our mind
when we were children.
Our handwriting barely legible,
making shapes on car windows
with condensation-filled breaths.

And I am blinded by your light.

So we wonder what it's like past
the double-paned glass.
Our styro-foamed-bubble-wrapped lives
melt away like better pasts
the ones we used to know.
Our tears fading into nothingness,
pooling into fingerpaint
painting our own worlds across the windshield.

You fill up the room.

Yet the paint dries, it shrivels away
with the light of each new day,

Not all who believe have faith
Not all who fall are weak
Not all who lack sense are mad
Not all who think can speak

Not all who have ears can listen
Not all who spell can write
Not all with heart can feel
Not all of us are living

Not all with eyes can see
Not all is certain
Not all who change are good
Not all is mercurial
Not all who escape are free
Not all is God's doing--
Not all who have power really should
Nor the Devil's--

Flightless Birdoh, why aren’t you flying?

amaranthine feathers belong to you, the flightless bird.
wings, calloused and frayed;
your body burning from sunlight, flames bursting from within
little hot-headed creature,
mad at the airborne world above him.

oh, flightless bird – why are you so alone?
once you were the sun, but now you are the moon;
you fell into its craters, came out the other side,
but who are you now?

bruised,

your bones have stiffened, cracking beneath your skin –
you are held back, lost.
you don’t know who you are.

You're worth waiting forLet’s take it slow, if you want us to grow
Our love is our gentle abode, and I just want you to know
That my patience is unknown, but for you, I will hold
I’ll just have to flow, and always remain with hope

Because much time has already passed
And a lot has happened, so sudden and fast
But with each moment, we get closer and forget the past
With each mistake, we start growing, with each, we understand

But now that patience is a big part of my life
I hope that one day, you'll also be mine
It could take a while, it could also be soon
But none of that really matters, because I truly belong to you

King, let me take her handKing, let me take the princess hand
I’m just a jester, but I’m sure you’ll understand
That we’re in love, and I truly make her laugh
I’m no prince, but you have to give me a chance

I’m not wearing shiny armor; because I’m not weak
And I have no servants; I’ll finish my own deeds
I might not be rich; but she’s always happy
And I might not be perfect; but we are both who we need

So please King, open your eyes so you could see
That the princess and I are truly meant to be
I’m just a jester, but I only plead
For you to let us live joyous and safely

The tenderness that's herWith every word written, with every word spoken
I try my best to express myself, without it being broken
For what I feel is deep in my heart, is love that I want to be showing
Every day it develops, every day I feel more loving

Is the tenderness of passion, which I’ve never felt before
A feeling that I got from a girl who I truly adore
Beautiful as a rose and gentle as a peaceful dove
My heart gets filled with warmth, a feeling I describe as love

She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve seen, that’s as simple as I can be
So very cute and filled with joy, she’s the only girl who I want to see
Her adorable smile that

She left for heavenWe lost an amazing woman this week
A beautiful angel that was taken back to heaven
And from our eyes we shed our tears, for a woman we hold dear
That we will never forget, because in our heart she’ll always stay

A great woman who is proud of her son
That from heaven she yells “That’s my one”
The one she will always watch over and protect from the dark
Because she is sweet, kind, and always full of love

So please do not fear the obstacles that you’ll take
You have people who care for you and your mothers embrace
She will hold you tight and from heaven she’ll say
“I love you so much and with you forev

If I kiss youWhat if I kiss you?
What if I pull you close?
And whisper you the truth
Will you say “I love you”?

Because you shine light into this dark room
I wish I could turn the whole world to slow-mo
Just so I could see this beautiful flower bloom
Maybe then you’d see how much you mean to me

I go on my days with my heartfelt thoughts
Warmth is what you’ve brought into my feather heart
And all of this just feels like the start
I know that one day, we will never be set apart

Lend me a kissLend me your sweet lips
Give me a soft kiss
Stay with me till the end
Let's stop playing pretend

Don't let my heart break
Let's learn from our mistakes
I'll let your love embrace
Mend me with your lovely grace

They never leave my mind
Your cherry colored lips
The roses that I have picked
And the sweetness that one day I'll kiss

Pursuing my happiness

by ~GentlePeace, Mar 7, 2013, 4:23:04 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I can feel the rubble beneath my feet
My eyes are clouded with a fog that restricts me from seeing
For now I feel blind, but from a distance I see a shining figure
Though I seem to be in a malevolent environment, I don’t feel like fleeing

With each step I take, the rubble pierces my feet
Though the pain is sorrowful, faith strengthens my heart
I know I won’t be disappointed with finding someone who shines in the dark
All of this will be worth it; this will be where my happiness starts

The world we live in is dark confused pain. Rare, or deluded, are those who find light in the darkness.

~GentlePeace Mar 10, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

The people who found light are the people who had faith and never gave up.

Thank you for the good wishes as it is in fact night to me right now! But that aside, I continue to marvel at how your poetry seems to reflect my life. I'm trying to focus on that shining person at the end of the road, even though the road right now is difficult to walk. Thank you! <3
