You are a hidden heartbeat,
A pale outline in a shadowed world. Wrapped in the warmth of holding life,
Held in innocent fetters, locked behind pale walls.

Soon your prison will no longer be able to contain you,
You will be free, breathe your first true breath,
Share your only moment of true selfless love.

For now you spread your not yet formed wings,
And get lost in your shadow world dreams,
How I wish I could be dreaming with you.

What an innocent feel you kept within this poem. It would have been easy to lose that, but the line that truly keeps it in that innoce...

I used to follow you around, I was your shadow on sunny days, your stray moonbeam at night,
You never seemed to notice me among brighter lights,
You used to ignore me and pretended not to care.

I used to think you were beautiful beyond compare, And I couldn't help myself, I would just stare and stare.
You used to drive away from me, and leave me cold,
Standing there alone on your corner on rainy days.

I used to go through your trash, in order to treasure you,
I took it home in order to feel closer to you.
You thought I was dirty and poor and you pitied me,

I turned you into whispers..

This is an interesting poem. It reminds me of a good old Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Murder Ballad". I do like how you transition fa...

There upon the banks of the water a young man stands watching, engulfed in the beauty of the girl he has spied.. As she spots him watching her, their eyes meet, and hearts soar, their emotions entangled like a web of roots from the trees Which over-hang the Mississippi river.

Anytime now; the road they are destined to follow, will lead them through a mass of emotions,
much like the songs of joy and the blues that are heard along the rivers' banks... They meet, hands touching, electricity coursing through their veins.
Eyes smiling, b

I love the story within this poem... it seems to be a bit of a "Romeo and Juliet" type story (which long lived lost love is one of my f...

I have hung you from the gold chain around my neck, and each night I pray to find you at my door, maybe this world is just a little too big, or just too crowded, but then again I used to think it was way too small.
I thought I lost this that day, in the broken bottles and dirt, I couldn't find you from the tears in my eyes, I was so thankful when I pulled you from that shining heart, but I lost part of my hope that day, in that shining mess.
Truly, I can not help but dream of one days and maybes, and wish upon stardust that I flick out the windows of cars, letting it to

Hanging stardust

Alrighty.. I love how this poem goes from loss and sorrow to hope. I normally do not like it when only two lines in the whole poem rhy...

Come gather round and listen to a tale, Clear all the thoughts and let your minds sail. Smokey rooms, stone wall lined... Drink-filled glass, someone cries....
The Red-Coates are coming!!
Nightly rides of Paul Revere, nothing lives within but fear. Kings and Knights at the round table; Steeds resting,  in the grass near the stables. Winds blow tall trees and grasses...

To speak to my audience I will need my glasses. For though I have a tale to tell, I must be able to see to do it well.

I like this poem very much. You put a lot of effort into the atmosphere of a time and place perhaps only known in the fantastical land...

Challenged; naked flesh pained no-one ... To face away the lies, and the truth of destiny.
Just sway with the music...
