Ok, I haven't posted in a couple of days so here we go, 3 poems today. The first is from my collection and I wrote it a good while back. I think i stole the first line from someone but the rest is original

She talks with the tongue of a foreign mother,
The language barrier bangs and clangs as she speaks.
So, instead, we'll talk in lover,
Kisses carefully placed on her cheeks.

For every word that goes unspoken,
Five are said in her eyes.
But now she's gone and I'm broken,
And our sweet dialect dies.


this second poem is something i wrote yesterday, actually as a song. It was a verse but i liked it more as a poem. It's very simple in it's wording but sometimes things are more powerful when they're simple.

she says "i want to see the world"
but she's such a little girl
she says "i'm not sure where i'm heading
all i know is i want to go"
and that's a place that i know exists
but where it is i just don't know
you'll find it, trust me on this
lets just smile and take it slow

and just to finish, a short one, written for my girlfriend after a very special time on the back of a random scrap of paper :) i'm glad she saved it

she turns, smiles and says
"i don't feel awkward" displays
a real penchant for
heart wrenching amore
if only she'd stay for days
