A Satisfied Mind

Everybody has their hopes and dreams,
Which sometimes play on their mind;
Some are crushed and broken,
In the scheme of things.
Yet others stay in focus,
for as long as we may live.
They build us up to make our stand,
when the need may arise,
let us forget our failures;
we’ve endured from time to time.
That makes our life stable
giving us the one thing,
everyone wants to find,
and that is a satisfied mind.

Every body has dreams, but sometimes it’s not. We are successful in realizing the dream. There are others dream keeps up in order to fulfill their purpose. Those dreams keep you going until you find what you want.

Tones of comedy

Amused

It’s quite amusing the
way you can change
how the direction of
the tides as you manipulate
every emotion that
feeds this heart.
The reality sets in though,
these eyes are not as blind
as you remember them.
I have seen you tears and
realize that there is no
truth to them.
You chose this moment,
but you can not admit to
your treason.
Keep on playing the victim
in your theater of lies,
but open you eyes and
see that it was you
who put the final nail
in the coffin.

This poem is about relationship. One person has betrayed the trust of the other person so they relationship is broken.

Tone of animation

Hopeful Heart

A hopeful heart – handing out illusions –
Worn atop a satin sleeve;
Naivety was dripping out delusions –
'Twas an open gash – to so deceive
A little further, such a pretty mind.
Her whitened innocence, rare today;
And lest we ruin another soul,
Leave and let it be – we'll pray the trust
Will emanate a loving whole
For our appreciation; hear the plea.

Some person has believes and the writer’s saying don’t say or doing anything destroy those believe.

Tone of passion

Don't Be Jealous

Don't be jealous what others have written
In their own frame and time of season
They are there in the place they've awoken
To write down words gleaned from their reason
Lived out each day, their truth gets spoken.
You are not them; you are not there
we’re all just panes in a stained glass way:
The things they've seen you might not bear
could they endure the bed you lay?
No one but you sings your soul's song,
Walks the same path your foot falls on-
Don't silence the poet inside of you
Trying to fill some other's space
Cause then nobody will hear your songs
And the world would miss your grace.

Tone of pain

Worried

Tears flow down my face
and a whisper form my mouth
just sitting at home on my couch
in a gloomy, depressed slouch
People cant see the pain
that is dwelling behind my eyes
they don’t want to know
and that’s why a little part of me dies
I’m so worried about my boyfriend
and the trouble has gotten in
I hope he can come back to school
but the line that’s drawn is looking thin.

Tones of logic

Confused

I can see no way out,
that sick feeling creeping up from my stomach,
another lie just like your heart beating,
or so it seems.
Confused by whether I'm hurt by you,
or disappointed I once again trust you.
You were my best friend; my everything,
I walked away to spare the heartache once more,
but you found a way in,
broke down my defenses.
Confused by whether I'm hurt by you,
or disappointed I once again trust you.
None can see what you meant to me,
now there's nothing left to see,
just my vulnerability,
my bare and broken soul.
Confused by whether I'm hurt by you,
or disappointed I once again trust you.
Maybe it was my fault,
pinned my hopes on someone who seemed so different,
yet you turned out to be the same,
confirming my fears that I'm not worth caring about.
Confused by whether I'm hurt by you,
or disappointed I once again trust you,
I once again trust you,
I once again trust you,
Once again I'm hurt by you...

Tones of self -importance

Confident

Comfort you give
Words you speak
Uncertainties fade
Nothing to peek
Never judging
You listen well
Always accepting
Whatever I sell
Others may run
You choose to stay
Condemned I am
Two hands you lay
Esteem I lost
You found it still
Anger I toss
Respect you will
No one I deserve
You watch my back
Hope you serve
Faith never lack
Gems are precious
Priceless you are
Gold is scarce
But you are rare

This poem is about a person who support another person and that support gives them confidence.

Tones of submission and timidity

The timid lover

What lad or what lass without love has e'er been?--
Miss Page won my heart when I was but sixteen;
But no prospect appear'd, my fond wishes to crown;
Her ruffles were lac'd and she wore a silk gown.

While I issued forth in a more humble sphere,
With a coat you might see through--my best was threadbare;
Then what expectation to win a fair maid,
When the tongue or the dress never come to our aid?

But yet no great difference ought to oppose;
Her father made shoes, and by trade I made hose;
So that, if of true honour we judge not amiss,
My trade was, at least, a peg higher than his.

Besides, the shoe-maker had nothing to give;
Then should we unite, like two nothings must live.
Nay, should she attempt to collect all her store,
If she gave me herself, she could give me no more.

If we chanc'd, which was seldom, to pass in the street,
My head made a bow, but my eyes view'd my feet.
At her sight all my powers in confusion were found;
What was left of my heart sunk as low as the ground.

If at church on a Sunday I gave her a glance,
The instant she caught me my eyes turn'd ascance;
She might send a look, which by lovers alone
Is well understood; but, alas! Mine was gone.

When day-light was over I often crept out,
At the season when lovers and cats prowl about.
Through a hole in the shutter I sometimes could see
The girl that I lov'd--whom I wish'd to love me.

Ten years I was shackled, but never durst speak,
Though I saw my dear charmer at least once a week;
When another succeeded, who spoke as he ought,
While I lost my fair one by courting in thought.

The poem is about young man who loves a young woman he is too shy to say anything to her. And ten years he admires her from a distance, but someone else comes along and wins her.
