.Harmz's poetry

[Niall!]

Well, my good friend Harmz is an awesome poet, but she won't sign up for Habboxforum because she's busy. So I've decided to post them for her =]

Poem 1: Directly from my broken heart to paper


I smile so widely when I find love,
And cry so hard when I lose it,
Now my heart is in pieces,
There is no one here to help me fix it back together,
I find a shard of touch,
Some splinters of warmth,
A sliver of a kiss…
With glue made from my tears, I fit them together like a puzzle,
I have toiled for many days, but my heart is still not whole,
Then I remember,
The last piece is with you.


Poem 2: Handsome Intruder


Lost within my own thoughts,
A labyrinth of memories, ambitions and fears,
I walk alone in this maze, seeking an answer,
Past long ago deadlines and forsaken lovers I wander,
Until a new thought passes the threshold of my mind,
The thought of you.
You enter as though you have always belonged here,
Maybe you do, but until now I have not recognised you,
Like a ghost gliding along dark corridors, you search for a place to settle,
To implant yourself in my permanent daydreams,
You find my core, the centre of me, and nestle there comfortably,
Causing me to think of you day and night, forsaking all other worries and problems,
But what do I do with this handsome intruder?
With a firm call do I push him from my mind?
Or is he entitled to always be smiling in my dreams?
Come, some angel, lead me clear of this labyrinth,
And maybe, reveal to me the answer that I might tell this beautiful, wandering thought.


Poem 3: My Heart's Healer


I placed the shards of my broken heart in a black velvet bag,
Sealed with tears and tied with a red ribbon,
I held the bag close to my chest,
Hoping that I might feel a pulse, but the bag was as lifeless as myself,
I felt alone, so helplessly lost,
But then I remembered something, a feeling,
A feeling that has lain dormant for many months,
Rekindling like a small fire deep inside of me,
I turned to you.
Stricken with sorrow, I held out my velvet bag to you,
And with a gentle smile, you accepted it and emptied the pieces of my heart onto the table.
After what felt like an endless lifetime, you came to me carrying a black velvet bag,
Sealed with love and tied with a red ribbon,
I held the bag close to my chest,
And felt a solid heart beating merrily, full of life and happiness once more,
The spark that was my love for you was growing as time strolled on,
Until it was strong enough to set the world alight with beautiful, dancing flames,
Never have I felt so certain of what I was destined to do,
My mind, body and soul were all in agreement as I came to you,
As you answered your door, you gave me that sweet, gentle smile,
That was when I knew that what I was feeling was right,
Returning your smile, I took your hand,
And into your hand, I placed my joyful, love-filled heart in its black velvet bag.


Poem 4: Emotion Like Thunderstorms



What is happening to me?
I see smiling faces turn to disgusted frowns,
Gentle hands that have once touched me now hit me across the face,
Hateful glares follow me as I walk alone down the alleys of despair,
How I long so desperately for a warm embrace,
I wish day and night for support, yet my cries fall upon deaf ears as I tumble into chaos,
Drowning in my own confined emotions,
I struggle to keep my head above the surface, but the storm of my thoughts is much too strong,
Heavy rain, each drop a hurtful memory, hit me like stones,
A howling gale is a collection of every scream I have uttered, which smashes into me now with such force,
That it may blow many lives up to heaven or down to hell,
But what about me? I stay in this tornado, whirling round and round,
Every direction I attempt leads me back to sorrow again,
What is happening to me?


These are NOT by me, .harmz on habbo made them :)
Rate, I'll show her this when there are a few ratings.

They're alright but tbh the imagery is just general stuff that anyone who's read poetry or even a book could concoct. The best poetry needs to have some clever wordplay, like using double meanings of words and linking things through. For example I recently wrote a rap (not finished yet) in which the chorus part includes "I've fallen so far my words gotta be deep", because deep can relate to meaningful, as per the intended idea, or far down, as per having fallen far. Not trying to big myself up here btw, just using that because it's fresh in my mind as an example.
