For me poetry isnt about rhyming but about fully expressing yourself in the most simple and wonderful terms possible. When I write poetry I close my eyes and go to a place in my mind of great peace and tranquility. Sometimes its a place that exists only in the past or the future. But most of the time its a place that exists only in the imagination. Some people write poems about heartache and pain, war and death. But I write poetry about hope and love, peace and joy, longing and fulfillment. For me poetry is the best expression of our dreams, the greatest records of our memories; to be cherished for the rest of our lives.
Post poetry that is beautiful to you. Heres one of mine.
Beloved Daughter.
Ive dreamed of you for so long, sweet little one. I dream of the day you are born and later, sitting on my lap while I read you a story. You are so precious and lovely. You love me no matter what. To you I can do no wrong and I am the most powerful man on earth. To you it doesnt matter what I look like, how I dress or what kind of car I drive. To you I am Daddy, I am the one who will hold you when you are scared, and protect you from anything. I am your Daddy, and that is all that matters to you. I watch you grow. From a little girl that snuggles in my lap, your precious head against my chest as I read you a story. To a young woman, dressing differently, driving cars, and dating boys. Sometimes we disagree and sometimes you feel more comfortable with your Mother. But always as long as you live you will be precious to me. Always will we have a special connection of unconditional love and admiration. One day you will be grown and have a child of your own but I will always remember my little girl, my beloved daughter, who touched my heart with her sweet little kisses and everlasting unconditional love for Daddy. I love you honey.
