The Life of a Poet discussion

Love

A delicate flower
whose beauty enraptures us
drawing us into each silken layer
until we get too close
fragile souls caught on sharp thorns
we struggle desperately to be free

I like it.

Loveless Sea

One day you walked beside me
The next day I was free
Adrift on the endless ocean
A sailor lost at sea

No steady hands to guide me
As I face the violent storms
No light shines in the window
No harbor safe and warm

Alone I drift through time
Upon the loveless sea
A lost and lonely sailor
No heart to pine for me

Thanks :-)

I like the way you write :)

I loved the second one. I really enjoy rhyming poems and not many people write them now the second was my favorite!

Both poems are great, but I agree with Meagan that the second one is my favorite! Keep up the great work:D
