Loneliness of Perfection

Cross the worn path and fall
Into the deep woods of alone
Where unbroken crisp snow
Is still pristine and deer gaze silently.
Dip your fingers into the iciness
Of alone and perfect
Feel them go numb,
See them go red,
 like the swollen eyes
Of the girl you left behind
The night you decided
She followed the worn path too far.



Hey! Brand spankin' new poem!  Just wrote it minutes ago.  I really like it. =)  That's why I'm sharing it.  Enjoy. ~T

Paths

Which path, which path?
which path to take?
the lands are treacherous
and there's so much at stake
Worlds flow through
Rich with promise
Itching, clawing, begging
to ring the glottis
a hearty laugh
full of soul
smile upon
her senses dulled
which path, which path?
her path to take
all or none
her heart does ache
reaching, seeking, taking all
to sing out laughter
from her stories' sway
string the notes
high with joy
as each path unfurles
each path deployed.


It's been a long time since I have posted a new poem. Mostly because it's been almost that long since I have written one. My mind has been distracted with other writings and readings which actually inspired this poem. I have been working on several story ideas as well as working on one novel and reading several novels. It's hard to choose which story to delve into though, which is what inspired this poem. =) enjoy.

The first Stone

So, this is my new blog that I will be writing in. It will be mostly my poems, new and old. I have tried blogging them on other sites but have not had enough readers to get good feedback on my poetry, so I'm trying this. First I'll give you a little background on myself to help you know me a little bit before reading my poetry.
I am a female, 24 years old. I have been writing poetry since I was 13. I really enjoy writing poetry. It helps get my emotions out and allows me to say things I would never say out loud to anyone. I am a very emotional person, I feel emotions strongly and sometimes am hurt more than I let show to those around me, so I turn to my poetry for my outlet. I am able to take criticism though. I really want to know what people think of my poetry and maybe get some advice for them. :)
I will try to write a post poem explanation of the poem I wrote and also if I wrote it when I was younger as well. It's good to know that when evaluating a poem. I like people to see where I'm coming from. But I'll put it after the poem that way you can read the poem first and see if you can understand it without explanation first. :)
I really hope everyone can help me out with your feedback and anything else. Please feel free to comment on them! If it sucks, tell me. If it needs work, tell me. If it's wonderful, tell me. ;p
Thanks :)
