"Lyrics & Me"

Firstly there are two types of girls
There are the ones who love a good beat
Then there are the ones who look up
On the Internet the minute they hear
A really great song,
I am a lyrical girl.
I love music that can strike a chord inside me,
Help me by reaching that goal.
To wash over me with soulful
Explosive lyrics, songs from Skillet,
When I am lost and alone in the dark,
Casting Crowns to strengthen my faith
Country music like Sara Evans to be a bit stronger,
Rascal Flats, what hurts the most?
Evan & Jaron, the distance between two souls.
You are my song, souls searching for
That one particular song
That has lyrics that spoke to the broken-hearted.
Whether they take me to another memory,
To feel that pain, those tears that fell
At night missing the people who I once loved.
Yes music and lyrics are my life.

Message In a bottle

Love Lost & Tossed

It was a sad day when she left me,

The time I wrote this it was already 3 years

Down the line, she has already forgotten my name

And who I was.

I am the love lost & tossed away lover.

If she should have ever known

How I truly felt about her,

Just maybe you wouldn’t have found

This note tossed away in the deep of the ocean.

You see I was going to mail it to her

And tell her how much my undying love

Never withered from her.

She still holds the passion & the fiery

In my life, but what would that have meant to her.

While I was rolling up this note

To hopefully some pirates would find

And think that a broken heart’s treasure

Could be found.

I guess that doesn’t work right.

That no one will ever know about this

Message in the bottle that would

Drift millions of miles away from

Cape Town harbour.

Ships will pass it; birds would come and rest on it.

So whomever find this, just know.

I might have already found my heart

Somewhere else, while being loveless

And tossed aside by another.

Day 20 of National Poetry Month @ Poetic Asides by the prompt (For today's prompt, write a message in a bottle poem.  Imagine that your poem is being rolled up and put in a bottle for someone to read. )

My Award for winning National Poetry Month from Jingle, Thanks guys.

One Sided Love

One Sided Love

Call it one sided,

Call it unrequited love.

I am struggling with remembering,

How you fell in love with me,

While I was already with someone.

We were best friends you and I

We couldn’t fight our feelings,

But I was with another,

Remember how I told you that

That you should move on

And find another to love.

This is really difficult now,

Because here I found myself single

And the coin has flipped over,

My heart now search for yours,

But it’s gone, taken by another.

I never thought I’d be in this situation.

How our love was one sided

When the other was with someone,

Now the roles has reversed

And I am at that very place where you were

For six months holding onto me,

And finally I let the words slip

From my lips, that I don’t want you.

Call it one sided,

Call it unrequited love.

Call it a lover’s foolishness.

This is my entry for Week 31, Poetry Potluck "These are a few of my favorite things"!!
This is my favourite things which is odd, because I am writing what the muse of Tragedy(Melpomene) puts out there for me, so right now this is my favourite things. Acceptance on the award to Jingle.



Poetry Month Clambake Wk 3, my entry for this week.

Award From Luna's Clambake

Poetic Asides , day 13 of the National Poetry Month.
For today's prompt, write a poem that remembers an old relationship. This relationship does not have to be romantic. It could be a departed (or estranged) family member, old friend, former teacher, or even just someone you briefly encountered. And the relationship may have even been one-sided or seemingly insignificant to the other person. So let's all dig deep into our memory banks and see what we can draw out today.

A Postcard From Heaven

Dear I have been sending you

A postcard ever since I have left,

I have kept most of the letters

Knowing it would never reach you

But this might be the last one since

You are coming here soon,

I can’t wait to be reunited with you.

I love you and miss you,

I’ll be there waiting near the white gate

As you walk over that cloud,

You will love it here.

Till we meet again.

Postcard from heaven with love.

Spring

The day seem brighter,

People seem nicer,

Must be the change of season.

Spring such a lovely time of the year.

Flowers starts to blossom,

People taking there kids out to the parks.

Shedding ourselves of the winter depression,

Smiling as we clothe ourselve with sunshine.

Spring .

The Wait

We waited for this day to have come

For so long, but we never thought

This is how it would end.

The two of us meeting for the very first time.

We spoke so much about it,

Yet there you are, standing, your face

Looking panicked,

She  won't come, she must have seen me.

And walked off.

I see you looking around you.

You can’t see me standing there out of eyesight.

Deep down in the pit of my stomach,

It’s whirling and turning.

I myself was looking forward to this day.

But in my case I wasn’t hoping for you,

But for her to come through those sliding doors

At the airport,

Its another person’s face I wanted to see,

It was another person my face wanted to light up.

As painful as this must be,

I wish I had the nerve.

To

   Walk

           Away

But my legs didn’t want to.
