Poem 1- On A Cloud

I look into the blue sky
And wonder with awe
What would happen if I were on a cloud
And I happened to fall?

Would I fall gracefully?
Would I plummit to the ground?
I wonder, wonder, wonder
If I would ever be found

The sun would be my blanket
The birds would be my song
I'd sit and talk to angels
Laugh and sing all day long

Heaven way above me
Civilization down below
It's time for me to leave
But I do not want to go.
Poem 2- Outcast

Outcast
all alone
No one to talk to
No one to phone

Shut away from your life
What have I done to you?
Have I caused you too much strife?
What did I do?

Look into my eyes
What do you see?
Love, hate, lonlieness
A broken family?

Do you know what I've been through?
Then why must you torture me?
You don't have to faintest clue
What it's like to be me.

The tears on my face
Have long dried
Come and take my place
And cry what I've cried

Don't worry about me
I'm not even here
Please don't worry about me
You don't even know I'm near.
Poem 3- Back Stabber

I thought you really liked me
I thought I was accepted
But I knew it couldn't be
What I had expected

You made me feel happy
To really make a friend
To have fun with
Until I  saw the end.

It came ever so sudden
I knew it would come soon
It was too good to be true
To have a friend like you

You think your so cool
To be ever so mean
To the one
Who would be me.


Poem 4-The Empty Feeling

The empty feeling left in my heart
After you went away
Didn't leave
But decided to stay

I feel the love has flown
Carried off by the
whispers of the wind
That left me all alone.

I cry myself to sleep
Asking God why
"Why God, why??"
Then I start to cry

My tears stain my pillow
But even more so, my heart
It feels so heavy
As if it's been shot through with a dart.
Poem5- Falling

Bossed around
As if I have no life of my own
Tossed about
No one to catch me
As I fall alone

Falling, falling
No hands to catch me
Slipping, slipping
Soon, I may cease to be

A single hand
flies up
It holds steady
to catch me there

I fall into the arms
I gaze into his eyes
I could tell
He would tell me no lies

I no longer fall
From being tossed about
But, if I do, I'll have
Someone to catch me
For that, I have no doubt.

Poem 6- Every Day

Every day without looking in your eyes
Every day, I will tell myself lies
Say your not gone
Say your here with me
Safe in your arms, will I forever be

I wake up, these deams cannot hide
My poor disgruntled life
And the lies that I've lied
So much to say, so much to do
But your not here to listen, are you?

Days go by slow
I miss hearing from you
My heart cannot be healed I know.
Are you thinking of me?
Im your dreams, will I be?

Please don't leave me now
My heart cannot bear
The loss of you my dear
It's just not fair.
Hello. You have just read some of my poems  I have written. I hope you enjoyed them. I want to say, please, read my poetry, but don't steal it.I don't want you to take credit for my time and emotions. Thank you, Sarah
Poem 7- Child

I am  a child
You are a child
We are children
We know not everything
We are still learning
We walk, but only with the aide of a hand
We are spoon-fed our lives
Taught to cry and tantrum for what we want
But we will always be children.
No matter what.
Poem 8-Eyes

The eyes of a lover
The eyes of a  friend
The eyes of a human
The eyes of an animal
The eyes of an enemy
The eyes of the living
The eyes of the dead
The eyes of love
The eyes of hate
The eyes of caring
The eyes of forgiveness
The eyes of a child
The eyes of an adult
The eyes of a person who feels, hurts and cries
The eyes of you and I.
Poem 9- Hear

You hear me
But do you listen?
You hear me
But do you understand?
You hear me
But do you reply?
You hear
But is it coming in clear?
You hear me
But, do you HEAR me?
Poem 10- Crowd

I'm standing in a crowd
I'm yelling over the people
I'm lost in the crowd
I scream
I cry
I yell
Listen to my distressed calls
Listen to my lingering cry
You can't hear me over the crowd
Anyone?
Poem 11- Book

My life is a book.
My body is the cover
My feelings are the words
My cover is worn and tattered from the death and destruction around me
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Poem 12-Water

So pure
So clear
So clean
So tasteful, yet tasteless
So fresh
So quenching
So cool, yet warm
It flows from the earth, yet we are 80% water.
Does that mean we are a piece of earth?.
We are not clear
We are not pure
We are not clean
We are not tasteful
We are not fresh
We are not quenching
We are not cool
We are not water.
Poem 13- My Love

I have not known
Of  a greater love
One of which God sent
From heaven way above

I do not know
How your voice sounds
I do not know
How my heart can bear these bounds.

I have yet to touch
Your soft and sweet face
We have yet to meet
In our long destined place

My heart, it does flutter
When you talk to me
But how do I tell you
That in your arms, i want to be?

I sometimes lay awake
Late in the night
And wonder what your doing
Where it's full of light?

You say such soft
And sweet things
My cheeks turn red
And my heart sings

I do believe
Love can start
From far away places
I believe with all my heart

So take good care
Because you do not know
All the happiness and joy
You bring when I'm low

My love for you
Is very strong
But you will never know
That in your arms is where I belong


Poem 14- I Long

I am alone
I have no lover
I have no boyfriend
I am alone

I long to be held
In someone's
Strong and protecting arms
I long to be held

I long to be kissed
Long and passionately
By someone who cares
I long to be kissed

I long to be touched
With soft and warm hands
Of a lover on my skin
I long to be touched

I long to be hugged
With strong, protecting arms
That caresses my body
I long to be hugged

I long for the words, "I love you"
From a person
Who loves me for me
I long for the words, "I love you"

Poem 15-Candle

Life
Like a candle
Burning in the
Cold dark night

When first lit
The candle stands tall
The flame reached
High into the air

But as countless
Hours pass
Wax drips down
The once tall sides

Even as the
Wax burns
The light
Shines just as strong

As the wick
Burns down
The light gets
Softer than before

But the light
Still shines
Just as strong

Countless hours
Yet pass again
The candle is smaller
But the light shines just as much

The wick is small
Not enough to support
The once small
Strong burning flame

The flame gives
One final flicjer
And puffs out

The flame
Which brought
So much light and warmpth to the room was gone

But it was a
Useful candle
It was bright and
It brought warmpth

Life.
Like a candle
Can be strong
And weaken over time

But when it gives
It's final flicker
Remember all the
Warmpth and the light it brought.

Poem 16-You

Your face forever imprinted in my mind
Your heart full of love for me i seek to find.

In my head, your whispering voice echos forever.
Every word I use to give me strength through every endevear.

Your crystal blue eyes I wish to look in
Every unbearable moment is considered a sin.

The need to be near you grows with every day
Confessions of love are all I need to say.

While I care about you with love so dear
I have the only eyes to shed the only tears.

You are blind to these facts which are so true
No one can love you as much as I do.
Poem 17- Meant To Be

I lie half asleep in bed
As your voice quietly echos inside my head.

The reminents of you tender kiss,
Your touch I silently miss.

Our conversation clouds my mind,
Your heart I longingly search to find.

Your eyes so pure and true,
I can honestly say that I love you.

I pray you'll say it back to me,
Because then I know it was meant to be.

In your arms, I breathe you in,
Your soul I longingly wish to win.

Give me all you possibly can,
All you have that makes you a man.

Love is greater than you and me,
But I know this love was meant to be.
