Love Poems

Love Poems

In commemoration of Valentine’s Day, which is coming up:
 
Because of You
Joy and love have filled my heart
I know I’m weak, but I have a start
I can dance as long as you’re by my side
When you smile I swear I can fly,
My life is dark
But I’ve made my mark
And now I can reach for the light
You have given me sight
And now, because of you, I can fly
 
Courage

I live in a darkened night

My own heart blackened my sight

No way out of this nightmare

No way could this be fair

My own mind full of dark life

Always coming into strife

I saw them, living so well

With jealously my heart did swell

Yet you extended your hand

Led me from drowning in the sand

My own life you gave to me

Strong once again, I was free

My envy not all gone,

Even after you came along

But I had a start to becoming fine

and now I can go back to the starting line

And try once again

Even if I don’t know how this story ends

Evening Smith

Evening Smith

Here’s a little poem I came up with at the competition last night. It was inspired by my friend giving me one of her bottles of soda that were marked E. Smith for her name, and I joked around that I was secretly her sister Evening Smith.
“I am the Evening Smith,
From the last rays of sun I paint the sky,
And when the paint fades,
from the dust that remains I make night
and light the sky
With silver stars”
