Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wrote these not too long ago. No, I don't follow formats and such too well. I feel they are a restraint on me.

Please comment and give suggestions. Thanks! ^.^

(Title Unknown) - someone help me come up with one?

A river flows by, pristine and clean.
Past mistakes, past tears, past memories flow on by.
As I remember them, nature lets down her gentle tears from the sky.
After the thunderous fury and rage, all is suddenly serene.

Present events are recalled and reflected.
As I peer into the water, I only see my face, broken.
Time will reveal all both silent and spoken.
My image shatters, as by society, I become corrected.

The river seems endless, to the future it leads.
Past and present is swept away by the winds of fate.
Leaving something for the viewer to contemplate.
I walk along the trail of the river as from scars I bleed.

My future is uncertain, memories are long past.
I must live for the present, for it is all I have.

"Justice is a Lady Blind"

Justice is a lady blind,
Full of loopholes and compromises.
Subject to one's opinion,
It's too easy to escape it.
Only one in a million ever see justice, ever.
To receive justice is to receive a miracle.
For in this world, true justice exists not.

"A Longing Love"

Longing for you,
building for a future
that may crash before me.
I only have you to trust.
Only you, always in you.
I will trust this faith I have.
I will push myself to see your face.
In the end, if I am bruised,
battered,
beaten, torn, scarred, and dead
before I reach the line,
and I see your face,
your happy smiling face, waiting for me,
then my life will be worth fighting for.

"Lover from Hell" (written years back)

Past life itself, past the soul
Lies a dark relam of the heart.
Mine is of the blackest night.
None know of the beast that lies within.

As I lose my mind again,
My heart speaks to me,
It whispers of love long gone;
Memories come like a flood.

Now there is no sun...
There is you...only you.
My lover from Hell.

I think you should call the first something like "gentle and clear"

For the first one:

I usually name my poems after something that was written towards the end, but usually in mine whatever the poem is about is kinda revealed the most in the end. In this one, that happens towards the beginning, so maybe "The Future I Lead" How does that sound?
