Poet Introduction
I randomly write poetry but do not consider myself to be more than what I am. What I write may be from self expression of self or perhaps humorous. I am not a soul searching kind of writer. I enjoy feedback/comments.

If I could
by gentlegirl
It's finally happening
the long awaited time
My Karma's coming to me
I deserve, the fault is mine
I didn't let it go
my reasoning to be
why I couldn't bring him
here to be with me
His mind was in such turmoil
my heart with love did swell
yet with my fear of losing him
the truth I could not tell
We argued, cried and loved
Forever one now two
my lies are the devil
our love can't live through
I relieved his mind of turmoil
sharing all my shame

The Final Break by gentlegirl
The Final Break
(for the only love of my life)
by gentlegirl
How do I breathe now
with pain oh so deep
How do I manage
the tears that I weep
We're over and done with
almost like a dream
Please wake me wake me
is what my heart screams
This pain in my heart
so physically real
It's bringing me down
to actually kneel
My love runs so strong
how do I let go
I sob and I sob
as the tears quickly flow
I have to be strong
this time no return
Will I never win
the true love I yearn

Silence
by gentlegirl
Silence is so deafening
can't even hear my mind
heartbeats sound as drums
running to leave behind
My mind is overflowing
to empty I wish to do
as with a carton of milk
you throw away when through
I hear the darkness even
without a sound it makes
its trying to get in
this feeling I can't shake
Lightening bugs are few now
the coolness of the night
has taught them to disappear
not showing their beautiful light
Fall has come upon us
Summer now in our past
Before we can enjoy it...

Did I Ever Tell
by gentlegirl
Did I ever say the words
that hide within my heart
Did I ever mutter them
or hide for fear we part
Did I ever say to you
how beautiful your eyes are
or tell you of your sexy lips
or did I go that far
Did I ever breathe these words
of plans for you and me
of pictures that I've viewed in mind
of how our life would be
Did I ever sing the song
that plays within my heart
of love and my devotion
til death do we part
Did I ever hold you close
and whisper in your ear
how I long to touch...

Travel With Me by gentlegirl
i sit all alone in my rocking chair
with nothing to do nowhere to go
noone to care or tell
of all sad thoughts that flow
How did i get here to be this old
I've worked so many years
so why am i sitting here all alone
feeling so many fears
I fought off two Cancers
God Blessed me that way
giving me breath
and words to say
But no one to listen
or care how I feel
my family's all grown
their problems to deal
So advice now i give
to one and to all
no one may be there
when its your turn to fall
with nothing to do nowhere to go
noone to care or tell
of all sad thoughts that flow
How did i get here to be this old
I've worked so many years
so why am i sitting here all alone
feeling so many fears
I fought off two Cancers
God Blessed me that way
giving me breath
and words to say
But no one to listen
or care how I feel
my family's all grown
their problems to deal
So advice now i give
to one and to all
no one may be there
when its your turn to fall

The Sweet Smells of Life by gentlegirl
The smell of a newborn puppy
as it wiggles beneath its Mother
Searching for nature's food
and snuggling under her cover
The smell of Earth's cleanliness
after a gentle Spring rain
the smell of golden wheat
waving in open plain
The smell of freshly plowed earth
for a garden soon to be sown
The smell of fresh tomatoes
after they have grown
The smell of newly mowed grass
and trimmings of the lawn
The smell of the Summer heat
after the storm is long gone
The smell of the Autumn's frost
shining as diamonds on...
as it wiggles beneath its Mother
Searching for nature's food
and snuggling under her cover
The smell of Earth's cleanliness
after a gentle Spring rain
the smell of golden wheat
waving in open plain
The smell of freshly plowed earth
for a garden soon to be sown
The smell of fresh tomatoes
after they have grown
The smell of newly mowed grass
and trimmings of the lawn
The smell of the Summer heat
after the storm is long gone
The smell of the Autumn's frost

Life Doesn't Wait...by gentlegirl
The wind gently blowing her hair
as the swing goes higher and higher
Toes touch the dirt beneath
burning as if on fire
Breathing in the cool Fall air
so crisp as ice on the pond
Her thoughts swirling in her mind
taking her far beyond
Only Ten years old now she is
grasping for adventure and fun
Yet holding back not reaching
her young life's only begun
At Thirteen everyting changes
as the night after a storm
Nothings the same as before
as if once again she is born
At Fourteen she looks in her mirror
her...
as the swing goes higher and higher
Toes touch the dirt beneath
burning as if on fire
Breathing in the cool Fall air
so crisp as ice on the pond
Her thoughts swirling in her mind
taking her far beyond
Only Ten years old now she is
grasping for adventure and fun
Yet holding back not reaching
her young life's only begun
At Thirteen everyting changes
as the night after a storm
Nothings the same as before
as if once again she is born

What Ever Happened To by gentlegirl
What ever happened to
climbing trees
feeling a breeze
smelling a rose
reading a prose
What ever happened to
walks on the beach
lessons to teach
sunsets to view
going without shoes
What ever happened to
tears in our eyes
happiness we cried
from new baby breath
or loss love in death
What ever happened to
kisses and hugs
or lightening bugs
chasing butterflies
watching the skies
What ever happened to
cute little boys
with Tonka toys
spreading their wings...

Ebb and Flow of Love by Gentlegirl
I feel it again
as I did before
slowly leaving again
soon out the door
Me wanting to end
to get up and run
to stop all this pain
but its only begun
My avoidance of you
your avoidance of me
like a cat and mouse game
I think involves three
The distance between us
is more than just miles
our forever has ended
now only fake smiles
Neither wants to admit
the defeat now is real
Our love has turned cold
our fate is now sealed
The excuses you've used
have now become mine
to avoid love's...

What Is It About Me by gentlegirl
What is it about me
This thing I cant see
The part that's hidden
This thing that must be
What is it about me
he loves then he hates
then tries to deny it
disrupting my fate
What is it about me
my quiet gentle tone
or is because of
required time alone
What is it about me
makes me run and hide
causing thoughts of him
with another outside
What is it about me
that little voice within
its nothing to show
but arrow is at him
What is it about me
i cry in my sleep
he says please dont cry...

Was I the Game?
by gentlegirl
How many players were in this game
You don't know the number, "just some"
I was just one of many
And never the number One
The game began years ago
you soon made the rules
while i maintained my dignity
and played like many a fool
Maybe you all played each other
while i was the innocent guest
im sure I made the game interesting
and soon became your quest
Secretly you juggled more than one
until your secret was known
discovered by this one so gentle
the one you called your own ...

When we met
bye gentlegirl
I met you when so young
only girl of 18 and few
so wonderful was your nature
breathtakingly honest and new
So fresh as naive boy i heard
though you 3 years more than I
I started loving you then
before we said goodbye
Weeks went by we talked
such sweetness from your voice
felt only through your fingers
the words of your choice
You were so lonely as me
we exchanged friendship talk
of your life there mine here
through the rain we walk
So gentle man i learned
and oh i felt at ease...
