Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

[...]

"Fools" said I,"you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence


Simon And Garfunkel

Guys, I was looking at all the poems posted on here and I noticed that most of it is cover poetry. If we wanted to read something by Shakespeare or Edgar Allan Poe we could find that easily online or in a library.
The idea here should be to share what WE write and get feedback on it. Wouldn't that give more substance to the forum ?

I had written this poem a year back....

The Promise

I am keeping your promise
Close to thy heart
Holding on to trust
That was once set aside

I am living in peace
Mind clear of confusion
Life hanging without illusion
Grains of sand loosened along

I am keeping your promise
In that morning accord
When my tears had fallen
A tear of joy

I am keeping your promise
Connection all bounded
In that hard book written
As if by our angels

I am keeping your promise
My heart won’t be broken
The last of my heart beat
Locked and reserved

I am keeping your promise
Of everything altogether
Closing thy eyes
Seeing the day of your return

Your promise
My promise
One day we shall be
Together again

....then after a while, as they say, promises are meant to be broken, this poem followed...

I Know Not

I know not what lies ahead
I know not if heart's at stake
I know not how strong I'll be
I know not the way to me

In those daily doses I breathe
In my disappearance it cease
The crazy irrelevance
Is a chase no one desires

Tap the bullet of the gun
Hardly hammer the nails down
Breaking those bones in my leg
Is bearable than last caress

Tell me when this will end
Like an armour shield down
Fighting internal war
I am bare naked, I am

This is my last surrender
Mustering all courage
I don't intend to falter
I know not, I know not

....and then, this followed...

Five Eternal Minutes

The light on top of the ceiling
Activates a virtual voice of your being
A soft and funny welcoming home
One day it will be your voice alone

Drops of rain, winds of change
It’s coming slowly, path in place
All tears that drop, questions unasked
It’s coming slowly, unhidden, unmasked

The buried truth, lights itself bright
I don’t even have to asked
On your own, you opened up wide
My soul within, this very night, suddenly felt light

It’s a continuous everyday reminder
Never to stop moving further
The simplest thing no man can comprehend
Is the most special thing that kept me bend

The sky I saw as dull as it can be
The night of rainfall sucking our very soul
In five eternal minutes, it lightens itself
Suddenly turning the rain to togetherness

I may have grown over the years
Setting aside unimportant things
When one felt he had it all
It’s time to question, what is wrong?

No, that question no longer is
For one peaceful heart stopped the fear
Trust...only in its purest form
Laid the foundation of it all

Conclusion: Writing poems is a big help to get over it!!! hahahahahaha

Good poetic sense prevails in Dubai.

it may not always be so; and I say
that if your lips,which I have loved, should
touch another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as I know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be-
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that I may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall I turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands.
unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home
...lovers alone wear sunlight.

oreos

dip it in the milk
sh*t i dropped it
now my oreo is to soft
orea orea, orea orea,
why do you have to be so round
i have no place to grip you
orea orea, I will drink the milk. hush.

Alone

I know this place from time of old,
Dark, scary and very cold.
To be left alone to stand and stare,
Out of the shadows of despair,
To be left to feel so tired and stranded,
The doubt of a liar branded?

With no-one there to understand,
Who's with me to hold my hand?
Left to cry myself asleep,
I alone will secrets keep,
For I must learn how to cope,
From this dark place with little hope.

Heavy baggage forever to be carrying,
Will it prevent me from marrying?
Can I ever again feel whole?
At least this has to be my goal.
All I long for is a hug and a cuddle,
But that's what started this awful muddle.

I tell you one thing that's a definite must,
A dependable man to love and trust,
One that's patient and tolerant of baggage,
To sweep me off in a golden carriage,
To a new life, uninhibited and free,
But most of all to love me for me.

But that sort of thing only happens in books,
And besides, I know I don't have the looks,
Someone please strike a match or a light,
Just so I know an end is in sight,
I know I won't feel like this forever,
I would like to think I'm just that little bit clever.

But please will someone share my path?
To chat to drink and have a laugh,
To say everything will be all right,
To share my load and make it light,
Now it's time for this to end,
Guess what I need is a very close friend.
