I would come running if you wished
In one magical moment you won me
But I always lose my little foothold
bceause the demon called timere pushed me
days go slowly when you not around
but your so distant when you are
I can't see where this is leading me
To joy or pain I cannot say
Why are you so impossible?
This is painful yet I love it
I'm fed up of being a fallen angel
please help me mend my Wings

wow!

I really haven´t been to this forum to check things out, I guess that has been a mistake!

That was a very sincere poem, Ben.
Since I know (part of) the real story, I can really get what are you talking about :)

Very well written.

Ben, Thanks for sharing your words and feelings. From what Vega writes, you are writing directly from personal experience. I think it took me at least 12 years of writing poetry, before I turned that corner. Wkhat I wrote was a strange poem and a unusual topic, a friend's miscarage. It came out of the following experience; one night a friend of mine had a miscarage, and I happened to be passing by her place that night with my another friend, Bob. So, as the bleeding went from bad to worse, we bundled her up and took her to the loal hospital and bought her a rose. I never knew the father to be, but they had broken up and she had also had cervical cancer a few months before, so I suppose it was not surprising. I saw my friend, (I'll call her Wyoming,) a few times again that fall, (I think it was 1978 or so,) but had not seen her again until last Sunday, when, lo and behold, she was in the area looking for a job and staying with my friend, Bob, in Boulder Colorado. They came up for dinner, and we had a cook out. She said she was surprised I remembered her, trust me, she is one of the more unforgetable characters in my life, and I have known many. Of course at the time, I had a crush on her!!! Life can be very, very strange. gary

Nicely written Ben and very honestly written too! Like Vega I think I know who you are talking about! Trust me...most if not all of the guys at these forums have been there at one time or another! You are not alone! :)

Thank you everyone.

Usally I start with a theme and an idea of a title and work around that. I have to think of words and images, and rewrite what i don't like. Whith this one though I sat down and stared at the keybaord and wrote what was in my heart not my head and this needed no rewrites or though, it just came to me as I went. It is my most personal peom as it deals with my feelings for another person who I really like but am really scared of. Its one of the few peoms I've writen I'm 100% happy with :)

BTW it has no title because I don't want to give it one ;)
