Hi, this is my first time sharing anything I've written and it's a quickie so please don't tear me to shreds.

Moment

A pre-emptive chance
In the midst of a feeling
To leap and grasp

All my decision

An effort to right in vain
Cowardice blankets the blame
Derision in my lungs

Rips at passions flames

Doubt can consume
I can't control a moment
Endlessly drawing into you

Sleepless, thoughtless devotion

A constant wave is one motion
Unabashed by time
Good-byes are stagnant

Like a heart, eclipsing in defeat

Another quickie

Clarity

Words lack tongue ---
Suited to whispers in the willow
The sun is without beams
When I do not know you

Sighs kindle me blue
Time reveals a tepid erosion
Of the truth, balanced on the seams
Kept from me and wrung

On the telephone you breathed me
A dull lull of heartbroken apathy
And never had you spoken words so fine
When you uttered a heartfelt good-bye

Short quickie

A matchbox
ticks off
the brighter aspirations
I put off

Another quickie

Lost

Where's the moment?
How did I lose the capture of thine eyes?
Was it by tether nor this meek design
That I slipped to clench his ear
In desperation of my tiding fear
That you belonged on a surface far nearer
Than what I could hold dear?

Failed to rhyme you to amusement
The music was lovely but her glance - flits
Across the room, I turned her
Yet her focus remained singular
Noosed in my wrestle of morbid corruptions
A jangly hall devised to yield my destruction

I roamed in his iris to alleviate the danger
Found but that I, was the lost stranger

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed reading them. =)

Make no claim to be good, just enjoy what you do, and that will be most evident in what you write and share.

The most important thing, is that you are satisfied with what you have created, it may be one of the toughest though. Song writers, poets, playwrights, script writers, all take a long time to create something they feel is 'finished'.

Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams.

Thank you for enjoying them, Swift! Creative writing is like getting struck by lightning for me; it's hard to keep together my thoughts, so editing is a great suggestion

Thank you, Ayelet I will try posting one at least every week? I can't make promises though - I'm awful with commitment.

I've often stuck with the theory we can't critique another's thoughts, their work, their spirit; but we can celebrate uniqueness and the beauty of their work.
I enjoyed reading and hope you share more with us.

I think your style is just fine Iced8Ace...My suggestion is to keep writing exactly what you feel. That's what makes your style distinctive. An analogy of sorts: pomegranate- from the outside it doesn't appear to be much- yet while halving, coring, and tasting its overwrought fruit; so very much is discovered within. As in writing (poetry) we explore from the inside- out. no rules, no form- but your own, is how I feel.

That's a wonderful analogy. It tucks away my insecurities - thanks. I genuinely want to work at writing, so your advice fits.
