Midnight Rose's blog: "favorite poems that really touched my heart from other poets"

© By Patricia Harris If a broken heart could cry a river To float my boat upon I would cry all night my love and in the morning be gone to travel far away from here where no one knows I cried because you told me you don't love me and a part of me has died If I could sail my boat upon that salty sea and leave behind this hurt I feel I'd take the chance and flee but no...I'd love you still If a broken heart could cry a river to float my boat upon I would cry all night my love and in the morning be gone If I could sail my boat upon that salty sea would you change your mind and go with me come sail on my salty sea... come sail away with me...

© By Judy A. Jones There is a long road ahead of me In this life, But still, I'm aware That the road behind me extends Far longer. There are times in our lives When we take stock of those things Which shaped us; Those things which we allowed To create us. I am such a crossroads. I don't like to admit it But I still feel so much discomfort In my Heart For things that seem to be so far behind me. I've grown weary of trying And still, I try. I've grown tired of the distance And still, I reach out my hand. I've grown fatigued at the cold And so, I put on my warmest sweater And I trudge forward through the deepest snows. Is it ego alone that brings me to this place? And what of the other things That life has offered up? Do I face the challenge undaunted? I think so. There is a great purpose In the knowing that I have found. Still, I am left with the ashes. Those scattered reminders Of the fire that once burnt so deeply In my Heart. Now where is it that I should Scatter those embers? Or do I just sit in them, Roll in them, And laugh all the while?

© By Michael D. Miller When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand And said my place was ready In heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, And so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible That I was leaving you. I thought of all the love we've shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, for just a while, I'd say goodbye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized That this could never be For emptiness and memories Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things That I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. So when tomorrow starts without me Don't think were far apart... For everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart!

© By Leona Felder I tend to laugh more when I'm sad And I hardly cry at all You told me I had no right to be mad, ever I shouldn't have believed you You told me to be, Someone that I knew I could never be Someone I knew I didn't want to be I searched for something new But you shut my eyes Just in time To keep me ignorant I walked alone on a beaten path I strayed to the side But you forced me to abide So I just walked on that old straight line We're polar opposites We're nothing alike I see black, You see white I've grown up to be, Someone that you had always wanted to be It's too late for you I'll do what I had always wanted to do I'll go my separate way, And look up to see a different sky

© By Qamar Shahzadi Every time the moon beams, It brings me closer to you as a dream Rosy cheeks, air complexion, Dazzling in fashion, love and passion for the things you did in style. Aura of your bright face. The charm and the grace, Every tear bothered you, I knew no joy Until I was in your cozy embrace. You taught me love and care, You were my precious gem so rare. You held my hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever. Your lullaby made me sleep, But now those memories make me weep I want to be your little girl again Can you make this happen? O, My sweet mother You calmly went without a goodbye I promise to see you in paradise You are forever engraved in my heart

© By Brandi D. Bird My dearest daddy 'I love you', I think of you each day. I feel your arms around me, that's how I get through my days. Your looking down upon me, to guide me on my way, but its very hard without you, each and every day. People always tell me, the grieving will subside. But how can it get better, without you by my side. No matter how hard they try, to help me with this pain, I am all consumed by thinking, It will never be the same. I know one day we'll meet, in the Heavens up above. It's the one thing that helps me, to never forget your love. My dearest Daddy, I love you, Your with me every day. I will keep this love within me, until that beautiful day...

© By Samantha James Sometimes I sit and stare I think and hope that life would be fair Nobody seems to get it They just have no clue That I can be a friend that is really true Everybody whispers All the laughs, the jokes, nobody cares The way they all make fun of my frizzy red hair If only life could be easy I wish that life could be fun I wish I didn't have to run and hide

© By Michelle Torruella How sad it is that I shall no longer feel your touch. No longer will I feel the warmth of your hugs. Your kisses placed gently upon my cheek. Your hands braiding my long curly hair. Oh, for so many years I have wept. If only once I could call you and hear your reply. You are my reminder that life should never be taken for granted. You are my reminder that above all else life should be cherished. As I pressed my lips upon the red rouged cheek; I knew that it was not you. Your spirit was no longer in your body. Your body was never cold to my touch. Your eyes were always open when I called you. Your love will always be eternal. For, until I depart, I will always remember my dear mommy.

© By Mary Karamyan Friend poems A friend is a treasure that everyone has Sometimes they come, sometimes they pass Your friends will stay if you don't betray or lie Or leave them behind Just put this on your mind A friend is what you need To succeed in this life In this world were you can't live you can't breath Life will be unfair but your friend will be there To give you hope, and faith And a path that is right to take This will lead you to your dreams That you never thought would come true That is being friends forever with you. Sometimes you forget What your friend has done You just stab them in the back And leave them behind But when it comes to them And they don't do the same You just turn your back And do it again But one sunny day You will be alone Then you will realize that all you once had is gone.

© By Eowyn Wilcox if all the world were but a room and I an inmate in it, I should sleep day and night and watch the fan tracing circles on the wall. if my room were all the world and I could stay inside it always, I should sit in my chair with my mind adrift and watch the leaves as they changed. if my room and the world were one and the same, and I could live inside it, I would drift happy from morning to night, dreaming dreams of dreams and watching the light hovering like butterflies on my brain, shifting and melting and flowing into the wall.
