Words of a Poet

I took the road less traveled by

I Miss You Like the Sun Misses the Flower

[ 0 ] September 6, 2011

I haven’t seen this movie in a while, but I always like this particular scene. What threw me off thought was the sun missing the flower. Wouldn’t the flower miss the sun? Cold and alone… not feeling warm… or loved.

A Knights Tale – The Letter

It is strange to think, I haven’t seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face.

The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle.

I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to.

I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there.

Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and especially the night. The hope that after you’re gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you.

With all of the love I possess.

You Don’t Know Me Lyrics – Ray Charles

[ 0 ] August 18, 2011

I heard a few lines on this watching Ray and I had to look up the lyrics and hear the whole song.

You Don’t Know Me by Ray Charles

You give your hand to me
And then you say, “Hello.”
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don’t know me.
(no you don’t know me)
No you don’t know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I’m just a friend.
That’s all I’ve ever been.
Cause you don’t know me.
(no you don’t know me)
For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, “Goodbye.”
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you’ll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don’t know me
(For I never knew the art of making love, )
(Though my heart aches with love for you. )
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
Oh, you give your hand to me,
And then you say, “Goodbye.”
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you’ll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don’t know me
(you don’t love me, you don’t know me)

Where Do I Go Lyrics – Automatic Empire

[ 2 ] March 30, 2011

This song was featured on Teen Mom 2, the season finale. Right after it was there I searched for it, as did many others. Today Automatic Empire uploaded a Youtube of the single.

The lyrics are pretty simple, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. I liked the song so I typed them up in case anyone else wanted them as well.

Where Do I Go? Lyrics
by Automatic Empire

Who am I supposed to be
It’s not easy when you’re free

Who am I suppose to be… When I’m lonely
When I need
Where could I run to
Who could I turn to
Where do I run to now

Where could I go
Who do I know
Where do I run to now

Who am I suppose to be when I’m angry… When I’m mean
Who am I suppose to be when I’m lonely… When I need

Who do I turn to
Who do I run to
Who do I turn to now

Where could I go… and who do I know
where do I run to now

Where could I run to
Who could I turn to
where do I run to now

Where can I go… and who do I know
Who can I turn to now

You can download the single or album on Amazon.

If You Forget Me

[ 0 ] March 10, 2011

This poem definitely stuck out to me, what do you think of it?

If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Tortured Heart

[ 0 ] February 18, 2011

Tortured Heart

My words don’t matter
Regardless how they come out
Organized into lines
They mean nothing.
The words can’t describe
How I feel inside

Before I could write about the darkness
The pain, the nightmares, the broken heart
What I feel now, has no words.
Broken hearts can heal
Mine continues to go through that pain
No closure, the same thing everyday.

It’s as if it gets thrown against a wall
Almost to the top, almost over and through
At the last minute it gets ripped down
Hitting everything it can on the way to the bottom
But It doesn’t hit the ground…
Only to be picked and thrown again.

The torture is unbearable..
Having you but not truly
Wanting you but more than you want me
Loving you, and you loving me..
Not enough.

Caring to Forget Poem

[ 2 ] February 14, 2011

Caring to Forget
by Jessica Hartley

It’s so hard to admit I miss you
When I know you don’t care at all
It’s so hard to remember the mountain top
When I so vividly remember the fall
I remember when we were happy
When nothing could tear us apart
I remember how complete I felt
Now I have the pain of a broken heart

My mind has been running in circles
It won’t let me sleep at night
My body has become exhausted
My heart wants to give up the fight

I never imagined I’d be here
Missing everything we had and shared
I thought I was over this feeling
I thought I no longer cared
But this pain has become too much
I can’t keeping hiding how I feel
Everything has come crashing down
Nothing in my life seems real

I never thought I’d be here
I didn’t think it was true
But here I am, still in pain
Because I’m missing you

Forrest Gump “Sweetest Voice” Movie Quote

[ 0 ] December 29, 2010

I watched Forrest Gump the other night and I really like this part. I had to change it when Bubba dies, it still makes me sad!

I listened to it a few times, this should be the exact quote. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a good Youtube clip to go with it.

You know it’s funny what a young man recollects. Cuz I don’t remember bein’ born. I don’t recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic, but… I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in wide world.

I had never seen so beautiful in my life. She was like an angel.

All I Need Is You Poem

[ 0 ] December 28, 2010

All I Need Is You
December 18th, 2010

I can’t help that I think
About the past
The Present
and What could be in the future

I can’t help to miss you when you’re not there
I can’t help to think about you when you’re gone
I can’t help to want to talk to you constantly
I can’t help that I put you first.

I love you more than you know
You are the one I chose
The one I want
The one I can’t live without

When I am with you, I have no doubts
With one word you can change my mood
My world, every emotion
The power you have over me,
Is as scary as it sounds.

It’s not my words, but my actions that should prove
That no matter what, I will always love you.
And I hope you will see
That all I need
Is the same thing.

The I’m Sorry Game Poem

[ 0 ] December 27, 2010

The I’m Sorry Game
December 18th, 2010

It was hard to say I was sorry
I did my best to show you
After all I put you through
To prove that my love was true.

Now I feel I need the same
Take some responsibility and blame,
But now it’s your turn to play…
The I’m sorry game.

Prove your love
Go above and beyond
Make me feel like I used to
Way before you were gone

Give me the fight
The effort, the desire
Don’t leave me out in the cold
Bring back the fire.

Ignite what it used to be
Save it for just you and me
After all we’ve been through
I know all I need is you

(Tangled) I See the Light Lyrics

[ 4 ] December 6, 2010

I always think the Disney movie songs they sing are a bit cheezy. But if you look past that into the lyrics some of them are pretty nice. Recently I saw Tangled and this song (besides the singing) was nice.

I See the Light Lyrics
From Tangled (Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi)

All those days
Watching from the windows
All those years
Outside looking in
All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been

Now I’m here
Blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here
Suddenly I see
Standing here
It’s oh, so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be

And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days
Chasing down a daydream
All those years
Living in a blur
All that time
Never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she’s here
Shining in the starlight
Now she’s here
Suddenly I know
If she’s here
It’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go

And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new

And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
