  9. The man walk on his endless journey
    Through the vast land of snow
    Not knowing what his destination was
    Or when he would arrive to it
    He just continued
    On his straight path
    Surrounded by white and utter cold
    He knew he must not rest
    But he was tired
    And the blanket of snow called him
    Telling him to lie down for just a second
    To rest his worn out legs
    And frost bitten feet
    And the man listened to the snow
    And laid himself down in the comfort
    Of the soft snow
    Never to arise from his endless sleep




    Just something off the top of my head, I don't do much poetry. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

    Poem


    Love can be broken and hearts can be abused,
    but even you cant say there’s nothing between me and you
    Because violets are blue and roses are red
    I’ll lay my head besides yours till the day I am found dead

    Sticks and stones can break my bones
    But words can also hurt me
    I know I wear my scars with pride
    But that doesn’t mean I don’t hurt inside

    You say you’ll be there when I fall
    Truth is, you’re not here at all
    Some times the little things in life matter
    More than the game itself

    And when you read this poem
    You won’t realize it’s about you
    You can’t read between the lines
    And figure out how I feel

    So how’s it feel to wake up alone
    Without me by your side?
    I finally realized you played me like Charades,
    Pretending to be my Mr. Right

    Maybe I noticed late,
    But as they say, late is better than never
    For once I’m hating the player
    Not the game
    ‘Cuz life’s not to blame
    When the player is the one to hate
     
  13. That was very nice, Veritas. I like your use of words.
