Welcome to Gaia! ::

Very good. It is quite difficult to choose a favorite really. I enjoyed reading them all.

You are quite welcome mrgreen .
Have you read anything by Isis, Dante, or myself? I think you may enjoy Isis.

Come now, I am not some poet genius, nor is Dante. I admit that we may come up with things that some choice people find enjoyable, but I just think she would prefer you. Mine are somewhat grim at times, and on other times they sound like a speech to rally troops.

i like them but i believe that no poem is good or bad its just understanding what the person was trying to say

that's true, Thanks again everyone for commenting!

Heh, I just noticed that. Funny. Though I think they would work as titles themselves really.

New Poems!
6.The Lady of the Moon
Sits upon her silver throne
Alone and forgotten
Her heart's been broken much too often
A simple gown she wears;
embroidery, cotton
Tear washed eyes, once blue as skies
Now a crystal blue from shead tears
Dark brown hair that has streaks of gray
tucked back, in a half bun, out of her way
Her gentle touch lights the lampls every night
The stars you see and the moon,
The lights flicker just as the stars twinkle
So next time you hear her singing
Her hopeless song as the wind is blowing
The trees quaking as they hear her pain
And you feel her tears as they fall from the sky
Send up a prayer in her name
And hopefully you can ease her pain...

7. Nymph of the silver wood
The melodies of the crickes are your music
The fireflies provide your light
Coppery hair and lively green eyes reflect their flame
Feet gently padding on the soft green moss
Gown of plain cotton and a laurel wreath in your hair
the moonlight as your spotlight
You prance across the glade
Yet as I arrive in the morning
No trace remains

8. She said her goodbye solemnly, sadly
Her love going to war
He gently dried her eyes
She cried into his shoulder
And he gently pulled away
He told her "come the sping I will return"
"Look for me with the Robins"
"I will soon return"
He rode away on his stallion
Tears still falling from her eyes
She thought, "I'll never see him again"
she was right...

Through the winter she suffered badly
Longing for her love
When the spring came, with the robins
he didn't come...

One night she awoke with a feeling
Of dread mixed with fear
She knew he was in battle
So she prayed with all her might
That night a change came through her
She knew her love had died

The next morning she heard soldiers
Coming down the path
Already knowing their message
She took out the gun she prepared
Took a deep breath and pulled the trigger
Through her heart the bullet went,
Her heart, that already bled

As her lover rode through the courtyard
All was silent, 'cept the rain
He heard her shot ring
And he felt a deep, deep pain

He ran into the house and saw her close her eyes
Kissed her and held her closely
As he cradled her, she smiled, then slipped away

He took his gun and loaded
And held her in his arms
He shot right through his heart too,
And then he passed
The were together, now at last

And though they died that morning
Only one thing still remains
Separate, all that time, their love, it never died
