Silly Love Poem

[orinocoflow]

This about a dear friend who really loved this woman, but she turned her back for finer things when the simplest would have made her so much more the happier.
=============================================
You walk blindly toward his hand
You walk blindly toward this man
I see movitations
I see desire
I see you

Do you see me as I see
He cannot dream or show what I know
My love, don't follow the shadow of your heart
I am here within the fire
Bright
Clear
Burning
My hand waiting to whisk you over seas
A world anew
Dreams to Dreams
Mountains and Flowers to bloom
In my hand
I hold the world

No shadow can tame your fire
I still glow
Waiting for your soul.

Orinocoflow, I loved this poem. Here you have a man describing his undying love for a woman, who does not see how much he has to offer her.

I know this has nothing to do with poetry but, I'm going to ask anyway. Where are you from? I live in Atalnta, Ga. I'm 16, hope you don't mind. I can't write poetry, I can read it however. I loved this poem, talk to you later.

I live in Richmond, VA. Although, I live in the city. I am a country gal. I moved to the city when I was about 10. I rather prefer the country but I am kinda stuck here now.
I am 22.

I am glad you liked my poem. You have to be the first person who has commented on a poem I wrote and posted in here.

I thought I was writing in vain.

Much Prosperity,

Lynn

Hi Lynn! Don't worry I'll be here to read your peoms. I don't have any talent in the area of writing poems, but I have a talent for READING them! Keep writing, I'll talk to you later.

Hello ladies, in Virginia & Atlanta? I have just recently been to both.

I rarely comment on poetry, but I like your poem. It has passion. One can see that you as the writer can clearly identify with the subject (at least I think ). Keep writing.

I've been reading your poems too! I may not comment on them, but I'm starting to. I also enjoy reading them. I use to write poetry when I was in high school. I put it away, but recently have had feelings to begin again. Along with encouragement from someone else. But please don't stop! I'll try to make comments more regularly.
I saw you had posted some of Robert Burns' poems. I've been thinking of buying his biography. Do you have any books on him? Talk to you later.

I don't have a biography on him. I have never been too deeply interested in people's lives as I am into computers amd fiction. I do make time to read about that sort of stuff every now and again.

I love books. I think I got too eager, and I should have posted those poems all together instead of individually.

I am huge fan of Lord Byron, William Bulter Yeats, Shelley, Keats, & numerous others. Burns is the only Scot poet I know of that I read about in Literature class in High School. I have been digging around the WWW to find out about other Scot Poets.

I am glad you guys are reading. It is sometimes hard to know if someone read my poem or not.

I love writing, I would probably keep posting even if no one commented =). I just get a bit discouraged....I dunno...that human sense telling you are alone when you aren't...

Oh well....
