LET LOVE

They say you reap what you sow
We planted seeds but let nobody know
If there was a way we could be the path would not show
but you brought your light to my world and I love how you glow
And despite the lack of fruitful future
We let love grow

Pumping the brakes at every turn
Just trying to keep it slow
Even amongst our selves  we kept it on the low
Over time we would ignore the alarming signs
And Against our better judgment
We let love show

When seen Our love blossomed
Uncontrollably flourished
What once was just seeds is now an untameable forest
We made a beautiful symphony from what was just a quiet chorus
a rushing stream of passion
We let love flow

Now out of fear of what Towers before us
you ask me to ignore us
And go cold cover the field in ice and snow  
Turn my back on what we have
Just go on with the show
the one question that I must know
Is how can
*We let love go?

Hello.*
You're beautiful. I'm shy.
If I could live near you, I'd try.
I'm an awkward guy,
so, for now, *goodbye
.
Greeted a girl like this on a chat, and I liked it, so I decided to put it up here :)

I couldn't think of a poem today
But still felt the need to write
So as not to disappoint myself
I took these random thoughts from deep within my mind
And placed them in some sorta order
So that they would rhyme**

How come Hippopotamus is only one of us
And Hippopotami is more
Whenever it is that I say my
It's I, me, mine, not four

If it's raining cats and dogs
Is it safe to go outside
And are they chasing their own tails
As they're falling from the sky

Do butterflies
Spread well on toast
And if they do
Which ones would be used the most

What jelly or jam
Would best compliment
If you preferred the Giant Monarch
For it's majestic stance

If we were all
The same color blue
Would what I did or how I lived
Still bother you

Just a few random thoughts
I felt the need to say
Since I could not find a poem
In which I could write today

Even the heart of a lion can break in two.
Courage counts for nothing if I can't have you

It's a fine line...

Between love and hate
Between good and bad
Between the heart and the break

It's a fine line...

Between what is and what was
Between here and there
Between it all and never enough

It's a fine line...

Between right and wrong
Between hope and despair
Between silence and song

It's a fine line...

Between you and me
Between joy and sadness
Between the sky and the deep blue sea

It's a fine line...

I had the strangest feeling
That if I cut my hair
All of my crazy poem ideas
Would suddenly disappear

Like Samson with Delila
I'd loose that added edge
If I didn't keep this mop top
On top of my knotted head

All the poetry would be zapped from me
And I would lose my purpose
Start rhyming things like moon with June
At that point my pen would be worthless

But I couldn't take it anymore
It was driving me insane
So I got out the heavy duty shears
And did something about this mane

I now see the pile in front of me
Expecting the Philistine's to crash through the door
But the only action that there is
Is me sweeping my curley remains up off the floor

I now face the day in front of me
Showing no lack of courage
Continuing in my quest
Of looking for that elusive word that rhymes with orange

She sang the most beautiful melodies,
just not for me.

Sip a lonely dosage.
Click the Bick.
Wear a lovely personage.
Ready the pressure.
Throat clenching.
Eyes forever.
Without you,
I'm turpentine.
Wasn't I clever.
Wasn't I?

Thirteen steps up the gallows
The first step I think of loved ones at home
All the fond memories they hold for me
As I take the second step alone

Third step I have a guard wipe
A lonely teardrop from my eye
It's not for myself I cry
But for those I leave behind

Four, five, and six I gain composer
Step number seven I lose it all
I wish I had learned from my past mistakes
How far and fast a man can fall

Step number eight is where I call out
In a barely audible voice
I hope those that are listening will listen to reason
Learn from me and don't make this choice

Steps nine and ten I break down again
As guards grab me from both sides
Helping me up step eleven
At twelve I say I'm alright

When I do step onto thirteen
I take it all in stride
Stepping up onto the platform
Leaving number thirteen behind

Now all that stands between me and my destiny
Are the thirteen knots on the hangman's noose
No need to count, I know that they're there
I only count what I'm about to lose
