Colin Night

A favorite poem of mine

Life is short
and pleasures few
and holed the ship
and drowned the crew
but o!
but o!
How very blue!
How very blue the sea is.

    Let me hold you, / Let me touch you, / Let me want you for just one night. / I don’t want you, / And you don’t want me, / But were lonely and alone, / Wanting to be loved. / There is someone else, / You are pretending I am, / As you come

    Birds in the tree’s / Birds in my heart / Laughing in that warm way of theirs, / Like warm, bubbling water spilling over the rocks. / Watching birds soar, / I let them bring my heart with them, / I know how they feel. / I too can have the cu

    If I could stay just one more night I would, / I would watch you as you went through, / All the rituals you hold onto night after night, / Too afraid too change. / I would watch you as you tried to fill up every moment, / So you wouldn’t have to

  • Brian Balzer : Hello Colin Night on November 26
    It's a shame that you have been here this long and only Ash has bothered to take a moment of her time to say hello. I've come to know her as well and I know that she is not a loser. Besides, a loser wouldn't be the only one to say hi. A loser would be the only one not to say hi. Welcome to sharepoetry, even though you've been here much longer than I. It was a pleasure to meet you. Feel free to say hello anytime.

    I like this. I really do. It feels really real, like a stream of conciousness, like thought. It's a little sad but it's good. Just these two lines though "throw caution to the wind
    while i persist to wallow in self-pity" Throwing caution to the wind and wallowing in self pity. Those phrases are a little bit cliched, you might want to try putting in different phrases there. But otherwise, I loved this poem. Good job!

    Dear Ginger,
    I really liked it. I loved your descriptive imagery, it forms a clear picture.(Gee, that's a cliche isn't it?)It's a very painful poem, one I think a lot of people can relate to, especially poets. I can relate to this. My poems were a lot like this when I came to the site. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of rhythmn and flow to it, just to make it easier to read.
    It's very, very good. Hang in there, we all have pain.
    -Colin
