She sits in a castle made of glass,
and waits for the guard bellow to pass.
Then slowly, she lets down her hair
and climbs down gently with some care.

Finally, her feet can touch the cold stone.
So she walks and walks till she hears a groan:
It was a wrinkled man; helpless and old;
beaten and poor but heart made of gold.

She bent down and sat there on one knee,
then played with her hair to earn some money.
Slowly but surely the money came pouring in
and, for a long time since, the old man was no longer thin.
Honestly it didn't take long to write but its a story which I wish could be seen more often

He came in with ease
Everything froze in a beat
In beauty and breeze

What can I do?
When I think, I've fallen for you
Would you believe it's true?
If you've already fallen for another girl too?

Everytime I'm talking with you
Every moment I share with you
Would you believe that I've cherished it so true?
'Cuz I think, that's the only thing I can do

Please open you eyes
Tell me the truth, not lies
Do you like me?
Or I'm just ANOTHER FRIEND you see?

The elephant in the room
was a kid in the high school cafeteria
with an acoustic guitar.

Meandering forlornly through the aisles
hoping that someone would listen to him
stumble through the opening chords to "Crazy Train."

He was just trying to fit in, same as I,
but God did I hate him for it.

Emotions spark like 4th of July
Hands locked together
Smile that can light up the darkest days
Staring in your eyes, I see it
There it is. Love
Shortest word that has so much meaning.

Everything that has been happening so far is finally turning out somewhat okay,
Or maybe that's just me thinking that it is.

Today I stopped writing poetry, and just listened to music, and checked out poetfreak because it's full of drama and it's weird. I really like that site and the feel of that place. It's just how I imagined my favorite poem to be.
This is kinda my first poem, so sorry if it is not a great one. I just have no talent. But I figured I could try to write something for starters.

Author's notes:
Corrected a typo on April 14th...
Added few more commas and a 'because' to the first sentence of the second stanza. Hoping it's perfect now. *crosses fingers*
Me and You

Me and you,
wild and young
stitching our veins to bonds
Turn this friendships for life and beyond

Cuts and wounds
I Sense the pain
So We Let it rain
Mouth speak the words
Heart collects the ache
Didn't mind to break the chain
So our Trust will gain

Speak my little nightingale
Freed me from my jail
Stuck in a dark opaque road
Buddy that ain't no fairytale

You have a hallowed out heart
Been hurt but it's hopeless
Darkness caving inside your soul
Seemingly blinding the best part
That nobody saw
