Dear Heart

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up those steep mountains

Into the stars

Across those great plains

We traveled afar

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Into the church

Up top the hill

We traveled there first

A cross stands there still

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up the walls

Into the depths

Across that bleak fall

We traveled past death

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up past the border

Into the mo

Across we forded

We traveled low

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up, up, up, away

Into this place

Across the way

We traveled to chase

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up to our home

Into the peace

Across the lines we roamed

We traveled in pieces

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

Up away, I send

Into oblivion, you go

Across the great bend

We do not travel together, no!

Oh where you were

Oh where you’ve been

Oh where you were

I followed you then

But no more.

I found this poem that I wrote last month that I forgot about. I tried to make it a bit like verse for a song. I'm not a song writer and I can't sing but still I like to try to do that occasionally. I don't think I succeeded. I don't like this poem a whole lot but it's ok. What do you think?

Update: Not a poem

Okay, So I have been writing poetry in all this time that has passes since my last post. I'm just not happy with it so I'm probably not going to post any of it. I am however taking a poetry class this semester. In this class I am reading poetry from our text book and our teacher assigns us to write essays about them and what we think they mean. I will post the poems I choose and the essays I write about them. =) I have three to post already. So I'll get on that this weekend probably. I will also try and post any new original poems I write. Anyways, that is all.
Thanks!

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 :)
