Secret poems - Page 2

yes thats tru, one should write on what they know rather then on what they think they know

those poems are really good..

Drowning

I look at you and my anger rages like an ocean..Avast sea of wasted feelings.And precious time.
Hurt by the things ou say and do to me. And the things you don't think i hear..Or you don't think I'll find out.
They always fine their way beack to me. And the gaps and oceans between us grow wider and vaster and deeper..
As words get between us until Neither of us know what to say.And Nothing is left to do but turn around,And look The other way..
Telling lies to let the other one know who's not hurt the most.When really all it does is tear me up inside.

I don't know if my poetry is good or ot so plz tell me how you think of my poetry.....here it goes....

I am war I am pain I am all you ever slain I am tears in your eye's i am guilt i am lies.

p.s don't forget to tell me what you think!

daneen and renae you may want to post your poems on a general poetry thread, or start your own rather then post on this one, though i welcome any commentry. anyhow, i've been gone for some time. here's something i wrote while away.

In my pain.

I searched the lowest valleys
And I searched the highest hills.
I looked in the wooded groves
And I could not find God still.

I dove to deepest depths of sea
And I crossed the desert wide.
I gazed on lands far from home
And I found not where God abide.

I turned to the hearts of men
And read all of man's great work.
I studied deep theology
But there God failed to lurk.

In desperation I cried out to God
And received no answer in reply.
I screamed and wept and carried on
Until it seemed that I might die.

Finally I settled down
And fell in a deep hole
And in my pain and emptiness
A warmth formed in my soul.

As it filled me I realized
That all my searching was in vain
I looked for God and failed.
He found me in my pain.

What I wanted you to be

There is something
I don't like
About having you here,
Because when you were gone,
And I was all alone
I could make you into what I wanted you to be.

When you were away
The bad things seemed
To fade
And I was left
With only the good of you.

I could make you
What I wanted you to be,
Shape you and mould you
Into who I thought you should be.

But now that you are here,
And I look deep into your eyes,
I almost fail to recognize you
Because you are not what I made you to be.

Now with you in front of me
I wonder who I knew
When you were away.
Where is the person
I crafted so carefully
And grew to love?

And staring back at me
From the mirror
You say
'I never was who you wanted me to be'
