Creative Poems

Hi, so yesterday I had training for my new job as a student ambassador; we took part in a creative poem activity that the scheme runs in primary schools. Below are the poems created by the activities I completed :) 

1.
Salfords Salvation provides and broken City
Adebayor pays his way to the wonder
King furious at Terrence Malick's mystic love story
NOW build on your strengths the look of love
Hearts deserve rewards in Dreams...

2.
Climbs through spirals
Swoop above sky
Falls beneath blue
traces pattern flies

3.
Bright waves dance
Waves words wings
Silver sparks beneath air
Waters, Dance.
Fish.

It's just a Game

Hello, been keeping myself so busy lately I haven't really had time to write, but the last few nights I have not been sleeping well so I thought this might help me tonight, get a few creative words out before bed. This poem does have personal significance to me, it is not one of my best but I hope it's enjoyed.

It's just a Game

Emotions play by their own rules

Controlling me, it feels so cruel

Knowing my personality at length

Using my weaknesses and strengths

Like a puppet I smile and sing

Until they pull upon my string

Then its up to them to choose

Whether I'm happy or have the blues

One day slides into the next

They decide I am feeling stressed

Late at night trying to sleep

Into my dreams, sad thoughts creep

When they allow excitement to appear

Its usually followed by nerves and fear

You know that we are just their fools

When Emotions play by their own rules

Conflict

Been struggling with inspiration recently so haven't written anything that's worth a post. However I am a little bit down at the moment, just hormones going nuts I think, but anyways I wrote this to clear my head. Hope you like it. 

Conflict

Put your trust in someone again,
Hope they never cause you pain.
Never learn from your mistakes,
Who's to blame when your heart aches?

This time, I know, it will be fine
We agreed he's always been mine
And I his, it's not one way
All relationships are grey.

How can you fall for it again,
You know it'll be just the same
Weeks down the line, maybe more
You'll be walking out the door.

Maybe so, but its worth a try
Even if he makes me cry
Why can't everybody just see
That I love him, and he loves me.

Is someone there?

Written after watching The Awakening with Rebecca Hall. It is a very good film that has some horror qualities but the ghost in this film isn't like typical ghosts in horrors. 

Empty Room, lonely chair
Busiest of places now so bare
I sit and look all around
Listening out for any sound.

Call out, nothing's heard
I can't speak a single word
Time goes on yet I'm the same
I shouted out but no one came.

Feel a presence, just behind
For some reason, I do not mind
A peaceful soul fills the space
Now not such a lonely place.

To the tune of Pink.

This is a continuation of the song Pink, Just Give Me a Reason. I was listening to it on my phone one day and it was the last one on my playlist so when the song stopped it was quiet, I just kinda carried on with my own lyrics. At the time they didn't mean much to me and I didn't blog them but now I think I would like to. 
Imagine the tune if you can;

Used to hold me close night

Make love in the morning light

Now I sleep alone in bed

But you still go around my head.

I think of how we fell apart

Wonder who's the broken heart

Are you also stuck at home

Feeling like you're all alone?

Memories we made, so strong

Been together for so long

Do the feel the same as me,

Or have I really set you free?

Words are Easier when Written

So this was written a few nights ago during a a very emotional night. I am not feeling like it anymore but hand wrote it and haven't had time to type it out and post. It is based on a book I am reading by Jodi Picoult and the picture at the bottom is one I drew before writing it.  

Stomach knotted, head a mess
So much I have to confess
He is the one, so how's it fair
That he finds it hard to even care.
I know it;s over, that's what right
But I won't go without a fight.
Maybe a week, maybe more
I will find him at my door,
Autumn may pass, winter may fall
And I will wait for his call.
Found it difficult to express
What I thought was for the best,
Now, pen to paper it's easy to say
How I feel in a rhyming way.

Silly me.

This poem is written to help me sleep, me and Luke are struggling to sort something out and don't want to end the relationship but also don't want to continue as it is now...

Silly Me

Feeling lost in my own mind

Too scared to think what I might find

I know I love you, without question

But you are not my possession

Trying to keep you close to me

Makes it the last place you want to be

I feel we have no time to live

But you only have so much to give

You feel you share it fairly well

I think you're trying to raise hell

The friends you live with follow you home

And then you wonder why I moan

I've made you my world,  now I see

How foolish that was of me.
