Heartbreaking poetry- make me cry
Cover image for post You Were My World, by CaroleTPoland

You Were My World

I had never truly known romantic love before you

Certainly not being one man’s only desire in life

Our relationship was all consuming

It was sadly destined to end in tears

The tears became fresh again with news of your cancer

I felt relief that you were working during your remission

I prayed so hard that you would live

That you would find love again, marry and have children

So much kindness did not deserve to suffer

You reached out for the last time

You lied you were not in pain to spare me

You were gone a week later

At only 30 years of age with only four ex-girlfriends to your name

I will love you to my dying day

"You can't love someone back to life."
I'm thinking to do a series of challenge where the prompts will be from my favorite movies or series or just "the lines that caught me" in general...You can either explain the quotes or just write anything that comes to your mind. Anything! And yeah I'll also mention the reference, in case you like it ;) This one is from 13 Reasons Why ( You'll find a lot from this series ♡) Please tag me in the comments :)

Live Beyond Death

Loving you more in death

If that is possible

Heartbroken beyond repair

If only you could come back somehow

Reincarnated into a beloved dog

With the same devotion you once had for me

Love beyond death

Falling like the stars
Falling like the stars is a song by James Arthur. This piece of lyric has always been my favorite so write something that uses the phrase "Falling like the stars" It can be anyway of using this phrase in any format you want.

French Kiss

Falling like the stars

How could I resist

To follow your heart gladly

Not a moment’s thought to what I would miss

I leaped without looking

Lost in your French kiss

Remembering Jon-Erik Hexum

I fell in love with your masculine features

You were so strong

With a deep voice

Then came your accident

You soared so high only to die so young

Leaving fans to mourn you

Journalist to question why

Mean people to never let anyone forget how it all came crashing down

The word is “blur”...... your piece has to centered around it. Have fun!
Tag me in the comments!

Blur

The haze she was feeling

The blur she was concealing

As her eyes had a mind of their own

For dreams she was living

To sleep without giving

The blur of what life would be alone

Time for a rhyme ...
Take the title of your poem and line by line based on the title create a piece where every two lines rhyme ... this is similar to couplets, but for this challenge it will be more like an agnostic. The first letter of each line must be in bold ... minimum title length is three words and they must read straight up and down ... your piece should have NO spaces between the lines and the last three lines MUST rhyme ... if this seems confusing, I will start it off and you can come look to see what I am explaining ... the winner will receive a Prime Time Rhyme award certificate ... make sure you tag me as: @Danceinsilence in the comment box and not in your actual write. Failure to to do this will prevent me from finding and reading your work sooner ... the winner will be chosen based of rhyme ability, style and ingenuity ... have fun with this!

Imperfect Romance

She felt his disinterest

He knows she is different

Yet the melody lingers long

Like a refrain from a song

He let her know his intentions

She ask him no questions

As they muddle along

she looked at him and understood nothing
Cover image for post Man of Mystery, by CaroleTPoland

Man of Mystery

After so many years

She realized how little she knew about the man in front of her

His heart was not hers for the taking

It was borrowed like a library book

She knew what annoyed him

He made no secret of it

His sanity had been lost along the way

Perhaps buried with his late mama

How much time does it take to discover so little

When does the past end and the present begin?
Cover image for post The Present is a Gift, by CaroleTPoland

The Present is a Gift

The past ended a second ago

Now you are in the present

Cherish the present

It is really all we have

We cannot change the past

The future is not guaranteed

Write about your career.
Your dream career or the one you've already lived. Have you worked (or do you want to work) in one field or many? How did you figure out where you belonged in the workforce? As someone just beginning her career and feeling a little lost I'm curious!

My Brilliant Career

I was blessed with a passion for fun

I was lucky to get my dream job

Worked hard

Made a new family

Meet guests from around the world

The fringe benefits were amazing

Entry to Disneyland

What could be better

I look forward to returning to my work home again

Hopefully soon as a guest

Butterflies

Since my mother died

I have been blessed to see butterflies

At her cemetery

Or whenever I am weary

They brighten my heart

They are of much import

The beautiful butterflies fly

Seen then go yonder in the sky
