In light of your heroism |
jenakajoffer
|
I am your girl,
|
1 |
unoccupied and insolvent;
|
2 |
denied by polar existences.
|
3 |
Strong, yes
|
4 |
but weakened by devotion,
|
5 |
guilted by
|
6 |
benevolence
|
7 |
when I think you've
|
8 |
changed your mind.
|
9 |
|
|
A conflict churns
|
10 |
inside, burdening
|
11 |
my pride and I am
|
12 |
wanting, needing
|
13 |
to be more than I am-
|
14 |
but I am always
|
15 |
yours and spoiled
|
16 |
and should be grateful
|
17 |
in my glass slipper,
|
18 |
not a beggar
|
19 |
asking for love
|
20 |
or lilies;
|
21 |
smokes, kahlua...
|
22 |
|
|
self-inflicted doubts shift
|
23 |
my emotional sea,
|
24 |
dishearten me; for
|
25 |
the moment, I am ashamed-
|
26 |
but for you, I will
|
27 |
resist these common comforts,
|
28 |
pour the seduction
|
29 |
beneath my floors
|
30 |
one more time, holding
|
31 |
my tongue, my breath
|
32 |
knowing that arrogance was never
|
33 |
your intention.
|
34 |
|
|
I choose to live
|
35 |
in our vision of friendship
|
36 |
and forever;
|
37 |
my wants and needs only
|
38 |
to make you proud, and in time
|
39 |
you'll find my madness
|
40 |
just an inexplicable,
|
41 |
eternal love,
|
42 |
for you.
|
43 |
|
you'll always be my hero.

What a beautiful poem!! - lines 11-21 are so truthful and heartfelt - you are so talented to be able to express your truest deepest thoughts and feelings so beautifully. You and your hero are destined for a life of happiness and bliss...it is my greatest wish for you! J
— unknown
Well, wow...thank you so much!
I was thinking of deleting this today cuz it's not very good, but your comments and that it's someone fave now make me think to keep it.
I just suck at love poems. I mean, this is a love poem to me and it's still laced with some sort of poison. I just can't do it.
At least not yet.
Your comments lifted me!

delightful.

I really love the endding. Well done!

for line 15, try an 'always' before 'yours'.
some sorta experiment, with line breaks - i've changed a bit of the punctuation and also some language. sorry for taking such liberty - i like your poem.
Self-inflicted doubts shift
my emotional sea,
dishearten me; for
the moment I am ashamed.
But for you, I will
resist these common comforts
and pour the seduction beneath my floors
one more time, holding
my tongue, my breath
knowing that arrogance was never
your intention.
you could break up the following strophe like this too, maybe?

also, for the footnote, would you consider just ' you will always be my hero '?
without the 'no matter what'...
thanks.

i couldn't resist -
A conflict churns
inside, burdening
my pride and I am
wanting, needing
to be more than I am.
But I am always
yours, and spoiled
and should be grateful
in my glass slipper;
not a beggar
asking for love
or lilies or
cigarettes and kahlua.
— unknown
Thank you both for the help on the line breaks v and c.
I try but I'm not very good at that.
I don't like the word cigarettes in poetry right now, thanks tho.
I appreciate the helpful comments!

you'll find my madness
just an inexplicable,
eternal love,
for you.
Yikes, my msn nick reads 'I am your madness' nowadays, I wonder...
— Enimie

Jen, beautiful, defo one of the three! You have taken a risky subject and made it your own. You have taken the usual cliche out of a love poem, which is hard to do as so many have been written.
— angrychick
nice poem
