Childhood
A crystal
Pure and bright
So enchanting
Where imagination is endless
Laughter beams like sunlight
With sparkling eyes
A child sees the world
And finds it beautiful
Believe
It is
Someday we will see
Just like a child
Such honesty
Such trust
Such love
If we were all like children
The pure crystal of our past
Then maybe, just maybe
We will understand our own life</center>
This poem is my feelings for a guy I loved a few years ago, how I feel about him now. This poem scares me a bit; it’s hard to believe that I actually wrote this myself. Well, enjoy. 🙂
So perfect he is
His body
His scent
His touch
How can I hate him?
He is faultless
He is flawless
Yet I do despise him
I despise his smirk
His narcissistic attitude
His knowing my thoughts
Knowing how I want him
Yet I don’t
I wish I could murder him
For his irritating perfection
But I want him so
I want to be near to him
For him to hold me
And love me
But I would kill him if he did
My mind is in turmoil
I love him
I hate him
My haphazard feelings…
Unspeakable…</center>
Keep it up!
"Childhood" was a sweet poem that instantly reminded me of innocence. I like it. Very rythmic and simple, yet the theme is complicated.
"Unspeakable" reminds me of my current relations with this guy… anyhoo, it’s very powerful and speaks truth about a lot of love/hate relationships out there. Very blunt work.
Keep it up. 😀
I especially like ‘Unspeakable’ because of the doubt and questioing of love that it contains. It’s also a personal, emotional and honest poem which makes it that much better. Keep up the good work Celeste~
You hold out your hand
Ask me to trust you
I wish I understood
What trust is
But I don’t understand
You promise me the world
And I want to believe
That your intentions are true
I should let my past go
Let it all melt away
Forget my past troubles
And live for today
But I do have faith
Is that like trust?
If I have faith in you
Then do I trust you?
I’m still afraid
I wouldn’t be able to go on
If you would hurt me
Just like the rest have
If you ask me again
Then I will believe you
I won’t doubt anymore
I will believe in you
And instead of living for today…
I’ll live for tomorrow</center>

Keep it up girl. Your poems are very well written. 😀
A crowd, standing
Dim and unchanging
Unseen faces
Watch me draw near
I try to hide but I’m found
Pushed out to the crowd
Numerous shrouded faces
Laughing at me
I’m down but I stand
Surrounded
Ashamed
With nowhere to escape to
Nowhere I can hide
They laugh at my failing
Play with my feelings
They think I’m a game
But they don’t understand
I’m not like them
I won’t laugh
I won’t cry
I just die inside
Want to leave but can’t try
Can’t step up
Can’t back down
They all watch me now
The pressure is unbearable
What is there that I can do?
