Poetry
Every month we get hundreds of e-mails and letters with poems by young people who love to write. Here we have selected a few poems in English.
away.gone.yearning.you.
I don’t want to be here anymore.
I want to go away.
I feel kind of lost.
want to be held.
loved.
needed.
am i asking too much?
and no, I don’t think about you anymore.
sail away on the winds of life
and journey without a destination.
float among the stars
and sit on the moon.
wander alongside the road
and let go of everything.
want.
and no, you don’t get to me anymore.
find new crossroads
diverge from the pattern.
tape over the old
with something new.
stop treading water.
and no, I don’t love you anymore.

Drunk on love
I was drunk, unhappy, confused.
Not anymore, now I believe it exists.
Love at first sight,
it exists. YOU opened my eyes;
now I can see. You opened my heart; now I can love.
Without even knowing it, you have made me drunk again.
Drunk on love. My body is willing, my heart is willing.
Your body is unwilling, your heart is unwilling.
What does it matter?
I am drunk on something wonderful.
Drunk on something I didn’t believe existed.

I’m no longer
I’m not dreaming the dream I dreamt before
I’m not hoping for the chance anymore
I’m not wishing to be the man you love
I’m not praying to the lord above
I’m not thinking the thought I had
I’m no longer being sad
I’m no longer hearing what you say
I do no longer love you the same way
Even if it’s this I show
I know I’m still dreaming, hoping, wishing, praying,
thinking, being, and hearing loving
And the feeling will only grow.
/YoJoe
I never thought
I never thought that I needed you so much as I did.
That I almost could die for you.
I never thought that I did love you so much
That my heart almost broke.
Now when you’re gone I regret all I said
When I remember your eyes I almost begin to cry
When I remember the whole you,
I wish I could hold your beautiful hand again
A kiss you again.
Please Come Back To Me.
Because I Never Thought I Needed You So Much.

You assume too much
I can’t stand your looks
And I can’t stand your touch
Your mislead desires
Are killing my spirit
If only it weren’t so
Then truly it would be grate
But your beauty is made ugly
By these things unknown to you
That which you cannot see
Leave me now to my loneliness
To run sacred, as I please
Away from love and affection
Not meant fro me
For I was born wrong

I want you back
It’s not that I can’t live without you
It’s just that I don’t even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Every night I think about you
If I wasn’t such a fool right now I’d be holding you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
If I only knew the words to say
If I knew the right way
To find the way back to your heart
I don’t want us to be no longer apart
Let me prove my love is real, and make you feel the
way I feel
I wish I could turn back time and make you mine
Give one more chance to give my love to you
‘Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do
You are my fire, the one I desire
Believe me when I say that I will find the way back to
your heart,
Because I don’t want us to be apart any longer.

White wave
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I want to believe
That I’d got caught up
When the rage in me subsides
Passion chokes the flower
Until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
I can’t help this longing
Comfort me
I can’t hold it all in
If you won’t let me
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free
/Becksvart
Some Days
Some days.
I just can’t handle it.
Some days.
I get mad for nothing.
And then everyone is my enemies.
It’s me against the world.
Some days.
I just can’t handle it.
Some days.
I brake down and cry.
SOME DAYS.
I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
SOME DAY
I WANT TO KNOW
SOME DAYS.
IT’S A PAIN TO BE ALIVE!
AND TODAY
Is one of them.
