Sometimes I feel tainted
Ruining everything I touch
My face, though pretty painted
Is vial, you should treat me such
Coral from the ocean,
Flowers from the earth.
All faded into nothing
when I was given birth.
Things I see so pretty
Beautiful in my eye
truly are the wreckage of
Their once sought after lust.
People, things and places,
once so clean and pure and fresh,
are now the shards of mirrors
My own looking glass
Even this, my own work
has no scheme or rhyme
Just a bunch of clumsy words
Put together at one time.
Looks like I'm finally feeling the poetry thing again... too bad it's sad.

This is Twister, my dog, the day I got him.
Straight from the desk of a freshman in college. These are my ponderings, my important events, my poetry. Please enjoy responsibly.

Quotes
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
that this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
- Pablo Neruda

I went to the bottom looking for the name of the poet. Keep it up -- sad or not, it's a gift you have.
Awesome! I like it, I think it kind of sums up how I have been feeling lately. This gets it out there and out of my system before I go home so I can start fresh. Poetry to me is an outlet so I don't go crazy!
Water baby, you stole my thunder. I was going to say that writing poetry when you're sad is an excellent way to deal with your feelings. Writing poetry when you're happy is also an excellent way to express your feelings. You gotta have both.
not clumsy - interesting images and intriguing ..... now i want to know about the sadness: its source, its depths .... keep writing. keep sharing ... i see a poet being born!

All these thoughts ore valid and inportant for you to acknowledge in the way you've chosen because they document how you feel now. Some time in the future, you will read this and say, "Wow! Was I really feeling that way? I'm so together now and understanding where all that came from!"
AND I am sure you are not a cause for anything to be broken or shards of glass as you put it.
As I see it,you are rooted in PURE love in its true form. That actually never dies, it just changes its form sometimes.
"truly are the wreckage of
Their once sought after lust."
I remember realizing the same kinda thing at about your age...maybe a little younger...
There is a lot of bad business about baby...
But really, the world ain't all that bad until you stop giving it and yourself a chance.
You are a genius..to be able to speak your thoughts so eloquently.
Keep it up! It's so much better than not sharing- then you end up more sad and broken (just ask me, I know)
You have the Merriest Christmas ever, Water Baby!
You're a special one for sure and are so loved by your family!
Happy Holidays, Water Baby! Hope you're having lots of fun with your family.
merry christmas, water baby!!
