Obscure
as an incentive to the rest of you I include a few examples of my own efforts, they may not be award-winning but they dont have to be. They were written with emotion and they mean a lot to me. If you have your own poetry you would like to see on this webpage then email it to me. It cant be worse than mine now can it?
Hope is the guiding star between the nations,
the only true substance of mans creations
Shrouded in shadow,
Overlayed by fear,
Always hidden,
But always near.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The irritating scheme of things
is what no person loves,
yet the fear-abating theme it brings,
the symbol of the dove.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The earth shook and comets fell
the world, it was split in two!
and across the sky, in blazing fire
was a message
'I love you'
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once have loved
and I once have lost,
and I once have felt the winters frost,
you will survive, they say
you will live to love another day,
but all I know is,
when you smile in my eye I feel a dart
and your name is blazed across my heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see a familiar nightmare,
It falls across my face
The shadow of its wing proceeds me,
Whilst I'm in the chase
Negativity arrives,
I'm sure you know the truth,
For of all the judges,
There is one without ruth,
God and his angels,
Could stand on thrones a thousand pillars high,
Yet its the judgement of thy own self,
That lets the hearts love die
~~~~~~~~~~~
Several million times a day,
I felt my love being given away,
now what do you do,
when a thing like that, happens, to you?
do you run, or hide, curl up or die inside?
because love, should not be taken,
for love, it should be given
for love, is the greatest gift that you can give.
