A Thousand Little Love Letters

IAmTheQueenOfHearts

The language is simple, but very fluid and functional. You really manage to put a lot of emotion and thought into four lines. Each poem is clear and concise, yet the afterthoughts of each separate poem linger and invite you to read again, like there's a prize hidden in the words. You managed to catch subtle moments in the everyday and make the experiences seem more than simply the sum of their parts. I really enjoy them. Especially this one:

I don't know when it happened
But at some point
I stopped striving to be like my beloved characters
Because I was older than them

Thank you. I appreciate it. I try very hard to be honest. Very honest.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I try very hard to be honest. Very honest.

The honesty shows. In a good way.

Might as well join in on the fun while I'm here. ^_^

I went away for a long time.
I thought we'd be fine.
Now I have a stranger before me
where you used to stand.

Your laugh is addictive
and you hooked me long ago.
I quit you cold turkey.
Withdrawal's a b***h.

They say love is blind.
When I left, the lights switched on
and I saw it for the first time.
It died without you.

Numbness enveloped me.
Step after empty step,
you warmed and filled me
as I made my way home.

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

I woke up scared
See, I dreamt I hurt you
But you were still asleep
So I couldn't say how sorry I was.

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

If it weren't for your sister
I'd be just a name and a face
But I falter smilingly at you
Falling in love is a terrible habit really

Oh wow. I am in love with your writing!
This is definitely becoming my favorite poetry thread ~

i remember our late nights
full of laughter and fond memories
but now when i see your name light up on my caller ID
i feel nothing but hesitation, sadness, and fear.

even though they'll never come true
i still waste my 11:11
wishes on
you

"was falling in love really worth it?"
because when i fell, not only did i skin my knees,
but i also shattered my heart,
and you weren't there to patch either up.

picking up the pieces
is a lot harder than you think
when your fingers are bloody
and your hands still shake.

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

I have liked you long
And finally
We went on a couple dates
But no butterflies, none.

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

I get this sad squirmy feeling
And I don't know if I should
Or how I could
Say that I don't feel a whole hell of a lot for you anymore

[Erogenous Jones]

You have an absolutely wonderful way with words! heart
It's already been said before, but how you manage to condense so much impact into four small lines is exceptional.

"Sometimes, I don't sing along
So I can pretend
You're singing to me
Not with me."

Has to be one of the best things I've ever read.

From time to time,
I tried to paint pictures with words.
Then I read the Mona Lisa
and burned my brushes. emo

[Erudimedi Sebastian]

Visions once unseen became my reality
As you illuminated my life's path;
I now stand before your path's end,
Recalling our past embrace lovingly.

Loving tides ebb toward the setting sun,
Where day's warm kiss ends once more.
I praise our fortune beneath the stars,
For we may eternally kiss as one.

As if by ethereal delight,
I met your catching sight,
But another had more might:
I evermore regret that night.

Once born, a soul thrives on love.
Once grown, the soul thrives to love.
Once two souls cross paths in love,
They entwine, thriving once more on love.

Gracious children are wiser than most.
With eyes more pure than spring's rebirth,
A merry world reveals to them truth—
Sincere embrace is blind to most.

An artist seeks to capture the world;
A writer seeks to describe the world;
A musician seeks dialogue with the world—
Love is the stage for discovering this world.

[Erogenous Jones]

Bumps because he can. smile

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

I have been thoroughly duped by Jane Austen
I fell so definitively in love with Darcy
I can't replicate that
With someone not made of paper and perfection

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

Mum said that I am a Degas woman
All soft curves, breasts and bum
I don't know, I think
That I just like Ice Cream too much

[LadyoftheGreenKirtle]

I wish I could feign indifference
A raised-eyebrow smirk
My goofy grin is sexy right?
Only according to you
