Stronghold

Drafted from pain

She emerges to win

Don't think her lame

She'll crush you like a pin

russelprose

Like the Wind

Gone was she, like the wind

Just a gust, gone again

A sweet romance, thought it'd last

Amazing affair, happened so fast

russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

Quiet night, broken heart

Deep sleep, so far away

Wide awake in a big city

Longing for that one touch

You left me scarred

Bruised and can't get up

You tore my heart to a million pieces

How am I supposed to fix it?

The way you handled it perfectly

Like a mother holding a child

So careful, so delicate and fragile

Then you let go, as if we never happened

Thanks to you I realize

That I can still feel something after that

I still have that pain to remind me

I'm still alive, breathing, but wounded

russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

Cold nights, quiet rooms

I lie awake, my mind wondering

Are you safely sleeping?

Are you having nightmares?

Or are you dreaming swiftly amongst the clouds

Maybe you're also awake and cannot sleep

Because something's been bothering your mind

Something you can't keep anymore

Like a wave of emotions, waiting to flow

Sometimes I wonder,

If we're dreaming the same dreams

And sharing nightmares together

Like our minds are connected

Never to be brought apart

My heart wants you

My heart wants to be with you

Do you want the same things

Or is it just me?

A Poem She’ll Never See

If life with you is just a dream

Then let me dream through eternity

If I have to wait for a hundred nights just to see you

Let me wait for a hundred more

Because you are worth every sleepnights

Every hopeful dream, every frightening day

You deserve the stars and the moon,

A garden with all its beauty,

A flower with all its bloom

You deserve every precious gift a man can offer 

Because you are one special lady

Because you are the woman I love...

russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

All My Wishes

I wish I was more poetic

I will entice you with my words

So I can find unique ways

To tell you I love you

I wish I was more attractive

I'll be more confident if given

I'll impress you with my looks

Maybe I'll finally have a shot

I wish I can sing beautifully

Like the ones you hear on the radio

I'll serenade you everyday

The most romantic of songs

I wish I wasn't shy

I'll just walk up to you and tell you how I feel

That I love you dearly, forever and always

And I'll do everything for you

russelprose

A Boy’s Jealousy

Oh how my heart breaks when you look at someone

Because I know that that someone's not me

Your smile, your laugh, your voice so tender

Is it wrong for me to wish he were me?

I'll make you smile truly, the most sincere 

And you'll laugh the loudest when you're with me

Then we'll sing a duet our voices like symphony

I love you.

russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

I often wish to the stars

That someday we'll meet

Wearing different smiles

And different lives

But same yearning hearts

Longing for each other

russelprose in Poetry & Free Verse

One Last...

one last call to let you know

just what i've been feeling

'cause it's bottling up inside

and you just gotta know

one last talk to make you understand

all my efforts and sacrifices

different things that made us here

i did it all because i love you

one last song to make you feel

all the love i'm feeling

this rush of the most genuine emotion

forever, i will long for your smile

one last goodbye and see you soon

you've been a very good friend

i wish it was more than that

but there's only so much that'll be given

The Planet of Broken Dreams

If you're tired and had enough of trying

Been pushing hard and full on fighting

Striving so hard and working for the world

Still you end up, all alone in the cold

People are always breathing down your neck

Sometimes you just want to jump off the deck

Just drown, at least all will be easily forgotten

All you need is a corpse and make sure it is rotten

If all you ever did was mess up and break down

Like a happy machine that did nothing but frown

Welcome to our planet where people are like you

Failures, stupid and even naive ones too

The Planet of Broken Dreams is where we belong

We are all friends here, like some messed up song

Be with us and maybe someday you'll see

That your dreams are worthless, they're dead just like me
