POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I randomly write poetry but do not consider myself to be more than what I am. What I write may be from self expression of self or perhaps humorous. I am not a soul searching kind of writer. I enjoy feedback/comments.
And You Are?
by gentlegirl
Do i know you
whats your name
have we met
in some game
The game of love
or could it be
we've never met
it's only me
You say you love me
how can you dare
i don't know you
this love you share
The sound in your voice
look in your eyes
why this now
this love disguise
Are we friends
of long ago
where do you know me
to let love flow
Thoughts aflutter
like angels wings
breath coming faster
as my heart sings
But i don't know you
or did i forget...

Deafening Silence
by gentlegirl
Silence is deafening
as i sit alone
breathing so softly
no one is home
Alert for each sound
touching my ear
senses so fragile
forever a fear
You're not coming back
Are the words I heard
how can i breathe
life is now blurred
Where do i run
where do i hide
what have i done
has our love died
Over and over
i see your face
tears like rain
so out of place
Smiling and happy
your usual norm
what have i done
for you to transform
Lifting up eyes
Lord...

No Words
by gentlegirl
I have no words I wish to say
my mind is just a blank
while yet as i just sit here
a prose just quietly shrank
So here I am with smirky smile
covering my winsome face
Eyes closed and trying hard
to put some words in place
You know I thought this isn't right
That I should take up space
to write of nothing to say
would be an utter disgrace
But here I am with keys tapping
like a woodpecker on a tree
scattered thoughts run rampant
yet nothing will set them free
The quiet of the early morn...

The Final Break
by gentlegirl
How do I breathe now
with pain oh so deep
How do I manage
the tears that I weep
We're over and done with
almost like a dream
Please wake me wake me
is what my heart screams
This pain in my heart
so physically real
It's bringing me down
to actually kneel
My love runs so strong
how do I let go
I sob and I sob
as the tears quickly flow
I have to be strong
this time no return
Will I never win
the true love I yearn
im hiding from you now
i can't turn around
must...

Time
by gentlegirl
Time will come and time will go
if once we slow in pace
So don't look back lest you shall fall
For the future you must face
With goals of grandeaur and fame
you dream of futures bright
then comes the dread of doom
quick like a thief in the night
Time will come and time will go
if once we slow in pace
So don't look back lest you shall fall
For the future you must face
With goals of grandeaur and fame
you dream of futures bright
then comes the dread of doom

What Did You Do
by gentlegirl
When I came to you
filled with desire
heart all a glow
body on fire
When I searched for you
you were not there
was i that mistaken
you'd play the game fair
When i couldn't find you
where you said you were
never in my lifetime
did lying occur
When finally i saw you
with face full of lies
deceit flowing freely
contempt filled my eyes
When you spoke at that moment
i felt the disdain
but even then my heart
filled with such pain
When i finally could breathe

Look in My Eyes
by gentlegirl
Look into my eyes
tell me what you see
flames of passion
or hint of a plea
Look into my eyes
they tell you a lot
if only you knew
How much they forgot
Look into my eyes
so warm and so cold
which have you done
the stories untold
Look into my eyes
of passion and fire
was that your deed
the need of desire
Look into my eyes
the wonder and awe
of life and its angst
full irony to draw
Look into my eyes
of deceit and pain
cracks in a heart
filled with shame
...

Oh No Not Again
by gentlegirl
Oh no not again
why you have to do
mixing up your feelings
and then away you flew
Oh no not again
chilling with the girls
making them all giggly
giving them a whirl
Oh no not again
coming back to me
as if it never happened
you acting as if free
Oh no not again
throwing it all away
what you had is gone
by all your flirty play
Oh no not again
coming back to me
you really think you can
well this time you will see
Oh no yes i do
walk away i should
you hurt me one...

If I Lead
by gentlegirl
If I lead
with you in tow
Will you whisper
Okay let's go
If I lead
and we fail
Will you remain
or would you bail
If I lead
and we are lost
Will you complain
angry words you toss
If I lead
to the pot of gold
Will you run
our hands to hold
If i lead
and go astray
no matter the end
no matter the way
If I lead
you follow me still
we both hold on
though not our will
If I lead
and finally share
that magical place
just over there
...

The Happy Place
by gentlegirl
Would you like to go
for a ride on the wind
just for a short while
just around the bend
Would you like to go
way up in the air
It's not very far
Just over there
Would you like to go
up up in the sky
To a wonderful place
That's really close by
Would you like to go
up above it all
Where no one is
and no one to call
Would you like to go
to the all alone place
of beautiful dreams
and open space
Would you like to go
find a smile for your face
just you and me alone...

Not meant to Be
by gentlegirl
The moment came swiftly
like lightening to earth
I loved you from the start
and love quickly gave birth.
I spoke it first i think
or were we same in time
You seemed so lost and lonely
Our hearts gently entwined.
The warmth that came so readily
enveloped my whole soul
As would a woolen blanket
to keep you from the cold
The wondrous feel of our love
I've never known before
by such a gentle person
I longed for evermore
You gave your heart to me
it overflowed with love
and you had...

Gentle Heart
by gentlegirl
Today I feel so wee and small
For things I may have done
Without intent nor ill will
He took away my sun
Words of hurt he said to me
not meaning to I think
but Spanish eyes are crying
heart broken in a wink
Friendly am I and gentle too
he knew this from the start
why oh why did he go there
intent to drive us apart
I ask forgiveness from my friend
heart broken and in pain
tears flowing freely as I type
while calling out his name
Void of words my message board
He would not talk to...
