    Hi everyone,

    here you may post original poems on any subject that you wish, including but not limited to lgbt themes. It's a space in which any contribution is welcome; even just one line or two that you felt inspired to write, would add to what I hope will be a very diverse selection of poems by fellow ec members. Whether you have written poems before, or are totally new to the idea, this is a place to express yourself in a supportive and appreciative environment. :slight_smile:

    Re: Share love poems here, if you wish.

    OH i love writing poems!

    ---------------

    I see her from a distance, wishing she was near

    Too shy to call, afraid she wont hear

    I'm scared she will be mad, tell me i'm weird

    Ever since i told her, it seems like she's scared

    Scared that i'm someone else, now that she knows

    If i only dared to tell her, that i want to be close

    Those three words that always gets stuck, and wont come trough

    Oh how i wish i could tell her, i love you

    ---------

    That was fun to write, still kinda scared to click The button. Never really showed people any poems before.

    I loved it, thank you for posting that! I can certainly relate to the nerves when sharing something you have made yourself, and I'm hoping that gets less over time.

    Re: Share love poems here, if you wish.

    Let’s lie together underneath the stars

    And dive into a pool of mutual bliss

    And deep in your embrace, oh let me feel

    The world dissolve around me as we kiss.

    The glowing love we share will make the stars

    Feel envious as they look down from on high

    And they will wish that they too could be human

    To feel such joy as we do, you and I.

    Re: Share love poems here, if you wish.

    Why do I find myself waiting for you?
    Lying next to my phone,
    Feeling all alone.
    Why can I not stop thinking about you?
    Wanting you to be here,
    Wanting you to be near.
    Why does everything remind me of you?
    Even the trivial things,
    Even as the phoenix sings.
    How is this happening?
    Never before,
    Stone cold no more.
    Why can I not tell you?
    The terror inside,
    The truth must hide,
    For fear you may never feel the same.

    (Another poem addressed to no-one in particular, just expressing a desire I never knew I had, until recently.)
    _____________________________________________

    Fix me with those eyes that I adore

    Take my wrists, and pin me to the floor

    Then your willing captive I will be

    As I await your passions joyfully


    The fragrance of your body I’ll inhale

    As with your strength, my body you impale

    So plaintively I’ll look into your eyes

    The space around resounding with my cries


    And in such sweet defeat I won’t complain

    For savouring the pleasure and the pain

    I am a shore, and you, a raging sea:

    Just ravish me, until my soul is free.

    Trust

    Such a painful word
    Cuts through me like a sword
    With tears my eyes are blurred

    My friend, you’re not the one
    By whom the hurt was done
    I don’t mean you to shun

    I see your loving eyes
    But something in me cries
    That loving eyes can lie

    I want you too, so much
    Don’t mean to be unjust
    Just give me time to trust

    ehhh i'll think of one on top of my head haha, here goes nothing,

    The night grows darker, as the moon turns black,
    just as my soul, when you turn your back,
    How long must I yearn, for you to return,
    without your presence, i've grown no concern,
    I've learned of warmth, the passion within
    pinned down my yang, for you are my yin
    How long must I yearn, for you to return,
    just one more night, i'll become whole again.

    ehhh i don't know, haha i try :confused:

    I loved it! (I'm not kidding when I say this; I enjoy seeing how every member's style is different; how people express themselves in their own unique way.) Thank you so much for posting! :slight_smile:

    Tumultuous storm
    Its coal black veil
    Unrelenting fury
    Engulfs the sky
    Ahead of us

    A vista
    Of shimmering sand
    Aquamarine water
    Serendipity
    Awaits you

    :slight_smile:

    Hmm. My poem is gonna seem really negative in comparison :grin: but I find it easier to write like that.

    Smiling at the others as you talk to them
    Positively, happily, agreeably
    Yet inanely and passionlessly
    Carried by the wind coming from their mouths

    They’re talking amongst themselves as you look on
    Laughing, throwing all their weight around
    While you feel weightless, voiceless, drifting
    Just looking in from the peripherals

    Their eager eyes beam at each other
    Almost shining with enthusiasm
    Much like the golden sun overhead
    Enthroned in its rich sapphire sky

    But no, you can’t share in that
    The light from your eyes is borrowed, reflected
    Only a dimmer version of theirs
    You’re only here at all to appease

    You look in from the sidelines
    In at them and their close, tight-knit group
    Analytical, studious, jealous even
    As you keep searching for the light that is your own

    I did a poem here as well http://emptyclosets.com/forum/anonymous-discussions/143923-poem-feedback.html

    But wasn't it a sign -
    Lovers lose lies?
    Intellectuals whisper why;
    Some others only sigh.
    Simplicity cries,

    Water dries,
    Illness says the last goodbye.
    Lost at night,
    Losing sight,

    Doesn't cause a single fright.
    Into the ocean of your eyes,
    Every heart will deny.

    Gotta love acrostics.

    Seriously, though, I need to work on my literature. :tears:

    On the contrary, sam: amazing imagery in that, and it evokes for me the inner experience, of being the odd one out at high school, observing all the popular kids in their cliques - I'm not sure if you intended that, but it described that feeling for me very intimately. Thanks for posting :slight_smile:

    I just looked up acrostics, that was a new term for me:

    Thank you Nychthemeron, for introducing that concept here, and once again as with all the poems here, the individuality of expression is so interesting, thanks for sharing that! :slight_smile:

    Hmm... lets see, what poems have I written lately that aren't about grilled cheese sandwiches?

    Is it so deep..
    that it could stay this long...
    why then, not leap...
    into consciousness, not gone.

    That's my poem about questioning sexuality later in life.

    Uncut, that's how I like them.
    Thick and waiting for a bite...
    Drooling, dripping delight!
    Cheese, beacon, tomato and then some..
    Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, you are the best!

    And that's one of my many food related poems.

    Re: Share love poems here, if you wish.

    Thank you so much, richie. It's actually harder to put one's feelings via poetry out here than I thought, which is why I am grateful that so many others have joined in also. I appreciate your positive response to that.

    If I understand it correctly, that which 'could stay this long' is that attraction that lay under the surface so to speak, and yet lasted all the way until it was rediscovered...yes?

    Hmm well whether that was *just* about food, or whether there was also a deeper, sensual meaning to that as well, either way I liked it and am now hungry for a grilled cheese sandwich!

    Thank you for posting these. :slight_smile:
