Poems By Stranger

 

These are amateur and contain my thoughts....

I need names for a couple of them (3rd last and last poem)

Please Contact me to give me names, and feedback.

I will have a public site setup soon with forums and such.

Later I will announce on the site when my book is released.

The book is just meant to give people an insight to a life, and why I do what I do in life...

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Friends

What good are friends that you have known for years?
When they are never there to wipe your tears.
You stick by them through thick and thin
But when you need help, you hold it within
You know these friends dont really care
Theres nothing to do except despair

Along comes a friend, who you never knew,
Breaks the wall of distrust it was finally due.
This is a friend no-one ever wants to lose,
Always there to help when your facing your blues,
A friend who understands you, and your ways,
Who is there to help in your darkest days,
I cant express how happy I am,
All I know is I stumbled upon a gem.

 

Wonder Why?

Wonder why people fall in love
Wonder why they die for someone
Wonder why, wonder why?
Think about it, love has but sorrows,
In love every effort is never enough
In love one has to bow one's head
In pain you have to smile
Why do they mix this poison in their lives?
Love is a useless infliction
Oh from love we are better off staying far!
Oh, those who take the steps leading down to the river of love
Neither do they sink, nor can they come out of it
Wonder why, wonder why.........
Without love what else is there in life ?
The one who has no love is lonely
Love brings a hundred colours
Love decorates life
People in love meet furtively
Wonder why they are scared to say it outright ?
Wonder why , wonder why ?
Love is beautiful in every aspect
Every form of love is true
Wonder why you are the only one who wont admit it ?
Wonder why , wonder why...

 

 

A wish

I dont know what I feel
All I know the feeling is real
My thoughts are to be with you
Forever wish it could come true
You always try to make me smile
It makes my life seem worthwhile
I know I'll never make you cry
Before that day Id rather die
I dont know why I feel this way
All I know is I will reveal it one day

 

 

Life

As I stare up at the dark and cloudy Sky
I realise my life is just rolling by
A journey with no direction
A life with just rejection
Why do I bother with a life like this?
I still dont know why sadness exists

Death is only but a heartbeat away
In this life Im doing time, I dont know what to say
If only you could walk a mile in my shoes
Only then will you realise, youd be angry too
When Im once again facing my blues
I feel in life I have nothing to lose.

I try to keep it together
But its not like I'll live forever
I find it really sad
That the dreams in which Im dying, are the best Ive had
I know My Destiny's to die
Till then I have no mercy in my eyes

I feel that I have been cursed
My journey will only end, once Im in a hearse
My problems may seem small,
But add it up and you'll see it rise tall
this world is full of hate
why cant we all just be mates?
Right Now I drown in misery,
But give it time, it'll all be history.

 

 

Dont Let it be Love (This aint even a poem)

Love is that sort of thing which approves of no rival.
One person, in love, may obliterate everything;
Another person, in love, might obliterate himself.
I reasoned with my heart a thousand times, but it would not heed me.
I explained to it, but it wouldn't listen to my plea.
May you sleep on neither thorns nor flowers;
may the peace of your heart never be lost!
The test of love is so very difficult;
to keep faith with a promise is so very difficult.
Love is sworn enemies with the world;
to fall in love is so very difficult.
Who knows what this is, that makes a lover heedless?
Every moment it torments and drowns you.
Love is bound by a wall of customs;
love is bound to clash over oaths.
No one can stop it.
It's prepared to endure every agony.
It will publicly disgrace you...
May no one entertain this dream.
God, please don't let it be love...
Sometimes no force works on love.
It is a season which does not change.
In its intoxication, the heart loses its way.
Even by guarding it, the heart is not protected.
Look how the flame consumes the dew.
I pled with my heart a thousand times, but it wouldn't heed me;
I then explained to it, but it wouldn't listen;
May you sleep on neither thorns nor flowers;
may the peace of your heart not be lost!
God, please don't let it be love...

 

 

A Hearts Sadness

My heart isnt of steel,
Why shouldnt it feel pain?
It only emits sadness again and again,
It has obliterated all sights,
It will never see the light?
The arrow of emotions strikes a fatal wound
It was all too clear my destiny is doomed.
The world is but a playground
where night and day are eternal rounds
The rules of life and bonds of sorrow,
Taught me well that there may not be a tomorrow.


Candle

The Candle, is no longer lit,
It discharges smoke from its wick...
The flame of love shall still burn
Forever and ever even after Im gone
 

 

Life's Cure

A curse needs a life-time to have its effect,
What is the cure for life except for death,
Whom should I tell what this is,
A night of sorrow is a terrible thing,
I would not have hated to die,
Living this life is living a lie,
This sorrow is fatal, how can I escape,
After all its my heart building a wall of hate,
What is the cure for this pain,
Death is its name.

 

 

A Stony Heart (I dont know what this is, I just wrote it)


Love had given life to this lifeless heart.
A love I cant describe as I dont know where to start
From this battered heart arises a heavy sigh,
My love is built on nothing but lies,
I was given a punishment of love,
What sin did I commit to deserve this?
In my love for you, my heart was utterly destroyed,
Love is so strange: a few moments of happiness,
Then a lifetime of sorrow and loneliness.
Sometimes tears, sometimes sighs,
sometimes rebuke, oh why does my heart cry?
Memories of love torment me,
What I cant have is what I always choose,
All this has done is given my heart a bruise,
Memories of you torment me in the darkness of night,
From this agitated heart arises a heavy sigh,
If I ever meet god I will ask;
Why did you give me a body of clay, and a heart of glass,
Why was it put in my nature to love?
You granted a fate not only of meeting, but also of leaving!
Sometimes we meet, sometimes we part,
Is this the love you intended?
It leaves only bruises on my heart.
How marvelous is your handiwork!
A sigh arises from this griefstricken heart,
I am punished for loving
what sin did I commit to deserve this?
I was utterly destroyed by my love...
I once had a stone cold heart,
A heart which was given life by true love
That very love that has now laid waste to this heart of mine
