I Need Poetry 

Lately my poetic compositions have not gone much farther than lame 4 lined rhymes like:
It rips at my heart And tears at my soul I'm falling apart No longer whole
There is something called forgiveness which I would like to impart. There is no way I could hate you, it's just not in my heart. What you did to me is terrible, but life can go on. I just pray from this day forward your life sings a sweeter song...
or stuff that doesn't make much rhythmic sense like:
My heart is confused and my soul is hurting. My mind is shattered and life has become a lost cause. What is a girl to do in such a situation? Turn from the darkness and step into the light Turn from the darkness and you'll be alright...
No one is ever there when you need them, but when you decide nothing matters anymore everyone rushes to your side to rescue you from something that has already devoured your soul...
I need to write a poem!!! I'm so desperate for poetry. I'm hungry. I need a good piece. I read other people's poetry and I wonder what happened to my inspiration. I hope I find it soon.

Obliquity 

This poem is old. I read it at the Poetry Jam on Tues.

spinning all around
in a world full of darkness
chaos coming from every way I turn
innocently believing
that you are there to help me
I'm susceptible, when will I ever learn?
I open up my heart
for you to step right in
will you take it and run with everything I have?
Or will you embrace the love I give you
offering yours back to me
So that what I have dreamed will come to be at last?
will you be the light that will lead me?
will you be the love that will free me?
will you be the one to break the spell that's cast?
will you be my future?
will you be my forever?
will you be the one to take away the past?
Until this revolution ends,
until this turmoil ceases,
until I am enlightened and obtain knowledge of your ways
Until I gain sophistication,
until this illusion becomes transparent,
until my world is brightened and I am no longer in a daze,
I will step back into obscurity,
I will become aloof
my reticence a shelter
from the utter confusion
that seems to want to consume me
my vagueness like a locked door
to which you wish you could have a key
to open up and figure out this labyrinth of perplexities
Circumvolving in this cradle of humanity
Isolation, seclusion, and murkiness-
they do encompass me
Impulsively concluding
that your mundane existence
is to succor this being;
my very essence
to you I am proffering
will you abuse this precious gift
or seize it
perceiving the forlornness with which I have denuded it?
I shall choose to hide behind a wall of reconditeness
until I have descried your form and my misimpression
that is if I have misconceived your purpose
and all of your intentions
I look into your eyes
and wonder what has carried you here
is it a desire to love - or deceive
that has brought you near?
You and I alone on this terrestrial sphere
is it you that I should trust...
or you that I should fear?

You Know Who You Are 

I've lost a part of me that could never be replaced.
There is a pain in my heart. I long for it to disappear.
I just need a friend. Someone to hold me through these times.
Don't you care about what it is that I'm going through?
Why can't you just be there to support me?
Why did you have to walk away?
I thought things would get better. I felt that maybe you'd understand.
Was I wrong? Or is it just that you don't have the guts to face your feelings?
If you ever read this know that I am disappointed in you.
I thought our friendship would grow.
I wasn't interested in anything more.
I don't know why I felt so much in such a small time
I miss you
Please talk to me
We can put the past behind
My hand is stretched out to you
But you have to make the move to accept it

I Love You 

I want to share my love with you
I could never imagine loving anyone else
I want you to know how much I love you
I will never love anyone else
More than you
I can't explain what it is that I feel in my heart
It's almost beyond love
But what is beyond love?
If I could find some way to express it to you
Maybe then you'd know
It's more than physical pleasure
That you bring me
It's not something that could be expressed
In my attempts to gratify you
It surpasses my desire to be with you forever
It's much deeper than my coveting your love
It exceeds my comprehension
And transcends anything
That I ever knew had breath in my soul
I love you
Yet, it’s more than just
"I love you"
But there isn’t more that I can say
To make you understand
The profoundness of what I feel
So it must be simply put
I love you
