haha alyssa, a good one! Did you write it yourself?

I Love You

Just three little words
don't seem like enough
for someone whose smile
still brightens my day,
whose touch can make me forget
the rest of the world.

They don't seem like enough
for someone who's always been there
to celebrate with me
when everything goes my way
and to hold my hand
when my whole world
seems to fall apart.

But even though "I Love You"
can't express the depth
of my feelings for you.
I hope you know what's in my heart.
Because loving you
means more to me
than anything in the world
and it always will.

Someday they'll find your small town world
On a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of the shell
Cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth
They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart, yeah

From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody oughta take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When they're under your skin
Never want you to think they would lie
When they're holding you
And you wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you
And you start to wonder if you're ever going to make it by
You'll start to think you were born blind

I'm here for the hard times
The straight-to-your-heart times
Whenever it ain't easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah
Oh, no, no, no

Someday they'll open up your world
Shake you down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still can't erase you

Lay them down on me
Oh yeah, you're just one more hand me down
And all those nights don't give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down on me

I love this song..

P.S. Sorry, I know that is not a poem, but I think it will be nice to put here this song. It is also something special (like poems) and because of it maybe I will make this topic goes on

The Island of Romantics

(Fragment)

From shores of Antarctic to Arctic ?
Men went through all waters of world,
And only the Isle of Romantics
Their maps until now avoid.               

But yet, it exists, to be sure,
And moons and high lands there exist,
But not ? just a single arguer,
And not ? just a single ?sceptist?,

Without Philistines? stupid whispers,
Without any bore and pine,
There, live just the permanent dreamers?
Who fell in a love or a fun.

It has sturdy cliffs of blue color,
And voice of all kinds of a wind,
The white albatrosses there hover,
And sails of bright crimson are seemed. 

It has, else, the Cap of Rob Crusoe,
The Gulf of the knight Don Ouixote,
Guitars, there, are not ?whole losers?,
And honor is always in sight.
.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
Guitars ring in nights midst white roses,
Fly rockets to stars from the land,
The lovers there tell only verses,
And could only them understand.

From shores of Antarctic to Arctic ?
Men went through all waters of world,
And only the Isle of Romantics
Their maps until now avoid.

But don?t be upset, my friend dear,
By maps. You don?t need them because   
This island is utterly near ? 
It is in a soul of yours! 

I am glad, that you liked it...

He is one of my favourite poems... It's a pity, that you dont know Russian language and can't read his poems from original...

I feel

If I had my eyes always closed
As if I were blind
I would learn to hear, to listen
To see with my skin
The warmth, the hair on my arms moving
Light stripes on my thighs
- Whole palm wide

 
Would it be a loss?
- Or a gift
