So, here's my TOP poem for this week. I don't think that it's quite good enough to post, but any comments, criticisms, etcetera are greatly appreciated. I took a leaf out of one of the examples "I am waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and did my own "I am waiting" type poem. It really turned into three separate poems, but they all kinda take from the previous "stanza," so I wasn't sure whether to separate them or not, so I didn't.
Here you go.
Triplet
I am waiting for a love
A love so pure and delicate
that is stronger
than diamonds
and I am waiting for a heart
A heart that won’t break
at the slightest breeze
and I am waiting for kisses
Kisses that are so sweet
that they sweep
me off my feet
and I am waiting for a life
A life that isn’t molded
by someone else’s intentions
and I am desperately waiting
So patiently
for these things
that never seem to come
I have had love
that was lost
and I have had a heart
that has broken
and I have had sweet kisses
that have soured
and I have had a life
that wasn’t mine
I am living
in a lie
and I am living
in a dream
and I am living
in a madness
created by loss
and dreams
and lies
