Hope is the sweet, sweet scent
of flowers in the morning
Hope is the cool gentle breeze
on a warm summer's day
...
this cycle or hurt, this cycle of pain
my mind says its different but my heart knows its the same
I'm left helpless, cracking from stress
pressure from all sides, not given a rest
...
I found my shoebox
of letters and dreams
sent by a friend
or so it seems
...
when the night burns into day
and the sun begins to shine
the promise of your love
never lingering behind
...
Its being misunderstood, people making you out as someone you are not.
Its feeling lonely, with no one to talk to.
Its feeling angered, emotions boiling.
Its being lost, not knowing what to do.
...
Like a wolf that howls at the moonlit skies
I beseech you to remove her from my eyes
And remove from me the sweet madness of love
As the wolf howls at the skies above.
...
Asked to describe life
I said: ' the peaceful moments
with the friends you meet.'
...
Since when was it right for me
To sit here and wish for things to be
Even though I've came back to this home
...
The boy stood on the edge of the cliff
Glancing down at the sea below
The waves crashed down on the many rocks
as they did oh so long ago
...
The land was blooming with beauty
with green grass and blue sky
Land free from tyranny
where, freely, all birds could fly
...
Not the hero that saves the day
Not the child who loves to play
Not the lost one with no place to stay
Not the wronged one with misunderstood ways
...
And in the midst of darkness
who will answer your call
In the perfect utopia
...
I've been walking around with a pain in my back
Never seen it coming, only felt the attack
Into the left side, out through the heart
Our friendship mutilated, you cut it apart
...
It rolls down my face
one clear blue drop
it would if it could
but this pearl can't stop
...
And it sat there, deadly still
Stuck in the darkness, against its will
It tried to stretch its arms and feet
But this thick darkness, it could not beat
...
I'm a shockingly young 15. I've been writing poetry since I was 9 but the thought of putting up my poetry on the internet never occurred to me until mid-September 2006 when I chanced upon this website. Most of my poetry is completely imprompto, written at the 'submit poem' page. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading my poems. Leave a comment or vote if you have the time.)
Hope.
Hope is the sweet, sweet scent
of flowers in the morning
Hope is the cool gentle breeze
on a warm summer's day
Hope is the knowledge of stability
from a son in mourning
Hope is the bright shining light
keeping darkness at bay
Hope is the calming warmth
during a cold winter
Hope is the determination
of an athelete on the track
Hope is the potential
of a newborn baby
Hope is the love
between you and me
Hope springs eternal
