Hmm, Here is my attempt at a "love" poem. Every love poem I hear seem cheezy and well, "dumb", I expect you to feel the same about mine, but I did try.
_ = a rest.
Lost from beginning exploring the end
Walling myself in I molded a hope
Excitement is mounting, where have you been?
You cry and pass and all blooms yet again
-standing here _ all that's left
Is the faint smell of whispers,
whispers blowing dead in the wind
I've lost my clay, my great walls of brick
I've lost the hope, I return as sick
Bondage in pairs, I look at my wrists
Tired I am of life gone so frail
Out the window ths son casts the nail
The flowers rejoice as the farmer heaves
at the instance of you_
I see the dead leaves.
NNY, I like the somberness of your poem. I was especially caught up in the opening line. You have a couple of misspelled words, but that is minor in the entire scope of the verse. Don't let this be your only endeavor, NNY.

All that is left is the faint smell of whispers. So beautiful Maggie
I'm sorry about the typing errors, I wrote fairly fast, and still trying to finalize it while doing so. Thanks for the comments-
the son casting the nail is a semi reference to As I Lay Dying, and some personal symbolism. I don't know why I had to tell you that, but the line seemed so vague to others that read it, so I just had to give a little insight.
Later Days
I need thousands of more replies if I want to get my confidence up to give this to someone, now come on people, start a line, NNY needs attention...
Is Egocentric a word?
That's cute. Me so sleepy, goodnight.
