Writing Some Poetry to Reflect Upon

[RicoTranzrig]

I've recently been writing these late night...I compared them with my previous ones and they seem a little different in style. What do you guys think??


[COLOR=darkblue]I don't want to hurt you
but I need to talk
to talk about our love

I don't want to hurt you but I need to walk
Walk away
Walk far away from you

And I
You know I like to find
To give our love another chance
New romance
Give my heart with you

Love is in danger
And it's gonna die
Loving a savior
You got to survive
Love is in danger
I want to give my love a life
A life forever...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember me...
I feel you
so close to me
I hope you
still think of me
even though
I know
you've found another love.

You took my chance to
be with you forever
to be your love and stay together
you gave away the precious thought that we had to somebody else
baby I wanna to tell you.

Remember me,
remember everything that we used to be
can you feel my heart pounding
we'll be forever
when you remember you
remember me
I remember everything that we used to be
'cause my blood is still pumping.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...I will wait now
And for everyday
To be with you
To make your sky more than blue.

Time goes by
Lifts me up inside
Waiting for a new day.
I'm trying to get through.

I'm burning up
Burning up for you
burn everytime I'm close to you
I'd never love anybody the way I do.

We will leave one day
We'll find a gate
To leave alone
That's why I keep holding on.

So my love
Can you wait for me?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel the silence and the motion
As I watch on the metal docks
Up above Fisherman's Horizon.
A thousand vessels just launched.
One of them, carrying my love.

The ripples of her departure echo
Far into the sea, never ending.
Just as my dear plea.

To have those ships come back
to renounce their sending.
If I could do just that,
This dream would still go on
But my soul would never sing.

They're not coming back.
Forty years have passed.
And the fayth continue to sing
The song of this place.
I turn towards the inner sanctum
and let out the echos of the ripple's ring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never again
Shall you light my fire with gasolene
Every time you call my name.
To be your shining star tonight
only to fall into shame the next morning.

Never again will my heart beat
the same way as it did;
now plagued by the scourge of betrayal.

A darkness looms within me,
devouring me within.
I guess it's my punishment
for someone else's sins...

Never again will I be
drenched in the foulness of temptation
It only breaks my heart
To open such a "box" and see...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How could you take advantage
of a tender heart?
One so trusting and loving only to be destoryed,
shattered, humiliated, scorched by my own flame.

Running in circles
incapable of finding a safe haven
where a solid foundation embraces me
and keeps my fire, my life, inside of her.

While I continue to burn brightly through the night
the chain of trust is broken away.
In an instant, my flame slowly dies away
Into ashes.
Carried away by the eastern breeze.


~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting here late night
gives me a lot of time to think
to write my true feelings out without flaw.

The insomnia overwhelms me,
breaks me free from the darkness.
Paranoia grips me deeply.
Fear of the possibility of relapse
breaks down what sustinence I have so far.

What can I do to go on with my life?
I seek out the truth only to see a veil of shadows
in a valley of mist.

I beg someone to light my path clear
it's been forgotten for a while now.
And I don't know my way back home.
In the arms of my savior...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is this my destiny?
What my favored plan is?
So young, and facing someone
that might be the one I will spend
the rest of my life with.

When I look into your eyes,
something's missing in my heart.
I try to get it back
but it keeps getting pushed back
further and further away.

I wish I had never or lost whatever it was
that made me feel teary eyed
but no tears came
only a warm smile that carries on far.

But Fall hit
the branches of life began to fall far
and so did I, and so did I...
It was too late.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want to go back
to what we once were
It's still possible.

We'll miss a lot
but it would be better than to take a safe step back
than risk the unknown.

The temptation may be still lingering.
But like storm clouds in a mid-July afternoon,
We'll be alright, we'll be safe from the heat...


~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ones we hurt the most
are the ones we love?
To boast about it: The Strife.
Plifering the stars up above.

You take our wishes away
Paths stripped from our sight
Our destination delay.

Why bring on the pains of past sins,
To manifest them into a harsher reality?
To relive the crimes over and over again?

rico i like the fact that your stanza's have a distinct pattern.. its great to see a good competant poet..also your poem's style changes for each poem.. never the exact same tambre... agian good effort.. i love the work.

[COLOR=darkblue]Thank you...normally, when I write poetry...it's whenever I really need to get something out and I just don't have the choice of output (whether it be talking to another person or through other means of venting). Just writing these late night kinda prepares me for the next day so I don't have the sour feelings of yesterday...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listening into the ambient wind
fly through my soul.
I hear a cry within myself
A part of me
that makes me who I am.

It cries for attention
the seeker of anyone who would care.
Yet, that part of me is never fulfilled.

The mists of a humble character also linger,
The Silent Protagonist,
strong stronger than the craver, but empty.

In a world of an endless breeze,
passing through a shadow trapped
between hills of shrouded grey,
I lay there.

Fleeing memories rise
from the shadows of my mind
Am I forever dreaming
to define the way I'm feeling? [/COLOR]

[color=red][size=1] That's really good Rico. Nice emotion and wording. Very good job![/color][/size]

Nice job. Although I can't really relate to these poems, because they are all about something I have never had (love) they still are quite good. I also like how all your poems are diffrent, or they don't show some of the same likenesses with the next. I usually can't write a very good poem unless there is some conflict or something which bothers me greatly. It's those feelings that we have that create the best poems. Keep writing.

[vegeta rocker]

the style is good. Mine are never that articulate, yet they each have a diffrent style to me. The way you feel sounds confusing but you make sense out of it. I enjoyed reading them and will again...over.....over.....and possibly one more time.
