I Enjoy Poetry

Please Hear What I'm Not Saying Don't be fooled by me.Don't be fooled by the face I wearFor I wear a mask, a thousand masks,Masks that I'm afraid to take offAnd none of them is me.Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,but...

I will keep and hold back the tears,

take each moment as a gift and elicit a purposeful smile.

I will place my armor in the weakest throws and hold my shield out in front of me as I pull down my iron mask,

I breath, I move...

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other...

“You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope.
And when you take the lead,
I become your footstep.
Your absence leaves a void.
Without you, I can't cope.
You have...

Never again will I over explainall my actions to you.Your face turns sour, I gave you the powerto do what you’re going to do.When you got me scared, I wasn’t prepared,and so I pandered to you.You justified your torture,and...

Born a prince, raised in a castle
Mother was kind, father was mad
A king not above, eating his young
To live, I grew smaller
Weaker, more bent
On self destruction
With each year
Then one crimson morning
Fate hurled me...

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul,

I love you as the plant that never...

Take this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow-You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less...

This poem gets me everytime the last stanza esp. It's deff one of my favourite poems of all time. It's just so beautiful and poignant. Seriously the last stanza can have me welling up.
 
The kiss, dear maid !   ...

"Always dress proper
and act lady like."
That was so long ago.

A button unbuttoned
A glimpse of white breast
saying notice me.

For a moment I thought I knew you,
it seems so distant now.
Gone like a fart in the wind.

Beautiful Dreamer
by Stephen Foster

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee,
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away..!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of...

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's sizeBut when I start to tell them,They think I'm telling lies.I say,It's in the reach of my armsThe span of my hips,The stride of my step,The curl...

Christmas soon be here
It's quickly drawing near
People full of cheer
Some with happy tear
Joyous wishes of the year
Christmas soon be here.
A hum bug my be in the air
Christmas one may not care
But joy remains in the air
By all who...

Still so young
But always dreaming,
Always planning...

Still so young
With few opportunities
so she dreams...

So full of life
Making the most of today
While longing for tomorrow...

Longing for the days
when she'll live out those...
