POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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.
Helping Hand
by gentlegirl
In a dark and lonely corner sat a little child
No one seemed to care that his mind was wild
With fright of the night or maybe the day
No one caring and showing this small one the way
And this child is the world to some degree
Not helping each other for fear they may see
us as weak or maybe kind
Instead of strong or whatever we've left behind
But wait there's someone helping him up
Thank God for the one who just filled his cup
Surely this ones cup runneth over
There's a smile on the child's face
That makes a nice...

My Poems
My sister is laughing not sure of my source
While I read my poems with a bit of remorse
Not sure of her actions I still read and look
Then she ask me one question, "whats the name of my book"
that I copied this poem from for she'd like to know
where I got such a talent because it never did show
til I started thinking and scratching with pen
and rhyming my words from beginning to end.

Silence of the Night
The yard is filled with lights galore
of sounds that are so eerie
Lightening bugs and wide eyed owls
making kids so leery
But ghost aren't found in tree or ground
cause they're behind the door
Just waiting for the "lights out time"
When good night comes once more
of sounds that are so eerie
Lightening bugs and wide eyed owls
making kids so leery
But ghost aren't found in tree or ground
cause they're behind the door
Just waiting for the "lights out time"
When good night comes once more

The Angel
The Angel stood outside my door
a voice of melodious rhyme
listening to my broken heart
as it cried with end of time
My friend lay down no more to laugh
Oh Cancer such a beast
To take away my Sister Dear
Please take me I'm the least
The gentle laugh no more to hear
Our hugs I long to feel
Oh take away this pain I have
The Angel tries to heal
a voice of melodious rhyme
listening to my broken heart
as it cried with end of time
My friend lay down no more to laugh
Oh Cancer such a beast
To take away my Sister Dear
Please take me I'm the least
The gentle laugh no more to hear
Our hugs I long to feel
Oh take away this pain I have
The Angel tries to heal

Friendship
by gentlegirl
What is friend if not to tell
of nightmare thoughts
and dreams of hell of
sadness in a sunny day
or sweetness in words they say
What is friend if not to take
to all the places we can share
unknown places we will stake
and try escape the end to come
What is friend if not to speak
of loving thoughts you hold deep
between the two you build up each
to use for days of feeling weak.
What is friend if not to cry
when end does come for us
Tears for all unspoken words
not even a kiss of goodbye. ...

Goodbye
Goodbye by gentlegirl
What is the word Goodbye
The leaving of ones place in time
The leaving of ones love
The leaving of ones mind
Tell me what is Goodbye
You seem to know it well
You're a whisper in the wind
No, you ghostly dwell
What is Goodbye to you
To quickly disappear
To run so fast with life
To be in constant fear
When does Goodbye end
Do you decide its fate
Do you allow the time
Do you leave in wait
How to say Goodbye
With emotions running high
With tears of broken heart
With no...
