Niamhs poems

These are a couple of poems that where originally in this thread but I removed so i could enter them into a compatition but got cold feet... I am returning them to the thread. :)

Enough now, Enough Said
Enough now, Enough said.
Keep your fickle feelings aside.
Everything you say pounds my head.
I'm bruised. Just go, let me hide!
You are not here anymore for me.
Why dont you just go away!
There's nothing here for you to see,
It cant be saved for another day.

I imagine you go and leave me in silence
And lie down where the ground is cold.
And i weep, but not for your absence,
But for the love we let wither, let go old.
Its time to say goodbye, time to leave,
There is more to life and love than we believe.

Looking out the window,
What do i see?
I see the world,
It waits for me...
and still waits.

The clock it tolls,
it gives its cry,
but lying i remain,
time passes by...
time and time again.

The light it fades,
but still i lie,
the moon soon rises
in the dark sky...
darker and darker still.

I wrote this in Sprinks blog and with the advice of Kiz Paws, i have placed it here.

Life is full of chances,
Make sure you dont miss yours.
Be Free, Stay Free,
soar through life like the birds.
Choose to live your life the way you want to.
Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.
And always be yourself.

Thanks Kiz :blush:

Once when strolling through some woods,
By the lakes of Glendalough in Wicklow,
We stopped, and side by side we stood,
And watched the buzzards gliding low.

We walked amongst the monastic ruins,
Beside the graves and tower high,
The birds around us sung lovers tunes,
To all who passed beneath the sky

Lovely lyric but please consider changing "sing" in the penultimate line to sang. And for the rhythm, consider losing "those" in the last line

The first poem is (by far) my favourite! Quite Amazing!

REMEMBRANCE

Life so sad and lonely
Full of death an destruction,
Quite close to home, and only
Peace of mind is in construction.

With great fears of sudden loss,
And sudden loss revealed,
With only happiness to toss,
The fate of the world is sealed.

Two towers that stood grand and tall,
Two gliding birds crash into a floor.
Thousands die beneath its fall
And bring the world into a war.

School kids mocked, teased and jeered,
Segragation within their neighbourhood,
In twenty years we may hear they've cheered
A saddened cry against a loss of childhood.

Corruption is nothing but the beginning,
Destruction middle, loss the end.
And with a band of heralds singing,
God his Angels shall he send.

Thanks so much you guys! :blush:

This is a poem i wrote recently. Its a bit on the rough side and needs a bit of work...

Be Not Caged Dear Heart

Be not caged dear heart, be free
To love once more. Break down the chains
That have long contained you. Can't you see
The Passion that comes to soothe, to heal the pains
Caused by a love whose love was
Nothing but sorrow, nothing but hate.

Be free dear heart, beat once more
in tune with loves sweet song of light!
Sing with joy, play a merry rhythm, for
Soon, who knows, those shackles might
Rust, the heart might sicken with poison.
And for love...it may be too late.

nice poems :)

p.s. which yeats poem is your quote from? its beautiful.
