I knew you before you were born, but not what you would become.
I saw you open your eyes, for the very first time. I gave you your name, and called you mine.
I told you stories every night, and sang sweet lullabies. I tucked you in your bed.
I did not always give you what you wanted; but what was best for you instead.
I prayed for God to watch over you, and protect you everyday. Even when I knew It was over, for you I decided to stay.
I told you corny jokes. I fixed things you broke. I watched you grow, and gave you space. I solved your problems,
forgave your mistakes. I paid all the bills.
I marveled at your skills. I fought with you, for you. I cried with you, for you.
Now as tears roll down my cheek writing words you will never read, I am left with nothing, no words do we speak.
How did I let this happen, how was I so weak? The strong man I once was, now brought down to his knees.
I think of my dear Father, and what he is to me, It is more than I can bear, knowing that I'll never be....that
source of strength and wisdom, a person to which you can lean, someone that you can trust, someone you can tell
everything. The man my Father was and is to me. Through all of my faults, disappointments, shortcomings, failures,
failed promises, things you remember that I cant even think of, One thing will never ever change my son.....
thats a Father's unending eternal love. Gladly will i lay down my life for you, without hesitation.
You are and will always be, my most wonderful creation. More precious to me are you, than anything on earth.
No matter what you think of me, in my thoughts you are always first. I hope that when someday, this cruel world
takes me away, you will have at least one fond memory of us, one nice thing to say. I may not have been, the best
Father in your eyes, but to me you'll always be, the best son a dad could see. I love you to the moon the stars
the sun and back, and even farther than that. Im sorry for all the things I did wrong.
If you ever read this letter, perhaps it will make things just a little bit better.
And one day maybe, when your a man, you'll have a son of your own, and then you'll understand....
just what you mean to me. I love you for eternity.


Lie to me, I will understand.
Cut me, I will bleed tears of forgiveness.
Burn the bridge between us, I will build it again, no matter how many times you destroy it.
Curse me, I will pray for you everyday.
Hate me, I will never stop loving you.
Shut me out, I will never stop sending ILY'S.
I will wait, for however long it takes.
I will suffer one million heartbreaks.
Hoping and praying for that day, you will return to me.
I will welcome you with open arms, and rejoice to the heavens above.
There is no limit to a Father's Love.
This is very moving I hope for you and don't even know you but can feel the emotion thru your words hugs xx
 
My Sweet Child ~

Planned you were sweet baby girl, we wished and you came into our world

Some long days one could say, but the years have gotten away

Right here, right now I stare at you, my heart overflows with love that's true

If beauty & grace mean anything at all, my baby girl YOU are standing so tall

Go now you are on your way...and perhaps when the time is right...you will have your own sweet child one day

I'am ice and other one is the water because melts and the other one flows with pure and wonderful abandonment. Far off my eyes catch beautiful horse of heavenly blue gallop on the water like it is on land and it is coming towards me like elegant old world ship of antiquity. Finnally the vibrant colored equine was standing in front of my greatly shakened small form compared to this gaint blue horse beast of this exquisite beauty of graceful form. This strange water creature was talking to me troug my mind and into my very sense of being it even told me my name and told me things that nobody knows anything about me. It painted the sky with massive powerful storms and atlast I was forced to obey the water horse of kelpie horse and it's orders were for me to go into water. I obey and removed my shoes from my feet and walked to the sea but instead of drowning I saw a bunch of other water beautful spirits in the shapes of half women and half water horse start to drap sea weeds upon my body. Their scaly blue skin and soft blue flesh glow with radiant beauty and her lovely singing voices say welcome our sister has returned home and I feel a overpowering sense of calm familiarity and humble understanding. They gather around me like a gaint fishingnet and I can not escape and oddly enough maybe I don't want to leave this place. And somehow maybe I even belong here but sadly I don't remember them or even know how I know them and I catch myself wondering what their names are.

Odd that with so many so called clever people that there isn't more Poetry in here.

Kudos to the man who started it. Whilst I can write, Poetry is a little style beyond my ability.

And congratulations to those who have been kind enough to share words to date.
 
HOLY DAMN!!! O.O :eek: *speechless*
The waves, they,
the fluxing constants
weigh
nothing
in the reflective
deflection of
your eyes.

your mind, it,
contemplates,
complicates,
melts.
and I'd lap it up,
someday
off the floor
of my body
like melted lava:

precious. scared.
warm, scared.
hold, scared.
rearranged
sacred.

rearranged
deranged
ranging
aging
in

me.
"I'll owe you some,
then own you full.'

my mind, it'll
crash and burn
crash in sin
graphs,
burn
like the sun
spelled 'sin'.

Daybreak came so fast too soon
Was not ready to let you go
Now each year I send a balloon
Lil' gesture just to show
You are missed more each day
At times I feel at a low
Especially at night when I lay
See you sweet Father on the other side

Nicely done.
 
@Tinytiny that's amazing. I've never attempted a piece that long before. I love the way it flows in shorts bursts..
 
Thankyou ! Just came by on this one . It was a miracle lol

When I did creative writing at college I was told if you get the whim.to write just do it. You can always edit it later for sanity.

But honestly a nice piece and thank you for sharing.
 
Look Up

At times a void, dark and alone
Nothing to see, nothing to hold
Despair and regrets slip in
Putting out the light like a strong wind

At times bright, happy, and full
Eyes wide, wild
Hope and joy rush like lava
Engniting the senses once more
