The Boy Inside

It was early April and his day was just to begin Fresh from tears he rose to his feet The morning mist sprinkled a chill down his back, again she would fail As in his vision nothing stood between Hard, trying to fit Always in sight fo what was to come his way Many hearts came to judge But he stood still with a dream to find his real love In a quest he took off Cast after cast he bit Never understanding why so many fell His heart grew big, and golden to his chest Elegance for he wanted to be Flowers he brougth her, only to see the world was real How many kisses could one steal Yet the kiss he yearned for the most he never got A joy to prentend Another heart to amend Who would call to his joy An angel? He stood to his moon His hope of a better place, alone No one came, he wept the night away into dusk Falling lower and lower Breathing only to live, he saw nothing ahead A dead end, a narrow path Again Romeo was in his mind to chant in romance To speak of love the way no one else could He found a medium of self-fulfilment And he went on to speak of love Many whom payed audience saw the talent that walked on his verse Many too did doubt, but he went on A boy, longing to be a man Love took him by surprise He was a boy inside

im glad if this boy never grows up,cos whose heart is better of that of a boy,innocent and pure?i think men all want to be Romeo,and girls all wish to be Emily's,its wonderful if the tale was for real,but life has its ups and downs,but where there's lov ewe are always winners--and 'he went on to speak of love'and he did it wonderfully--this goes to my favs--charma;-)

Early days in suffering, unforgetable experiences, yet very important to build a base and being able to walk tall because of the sprouting palm trees under one's feet; this poem is sad but not in that very dark, ominous, blood-shedding way I usually find in poetry; sadness in here is more...innocent, and I think that is worse than anything...because innocence feels things just the way they are, with no racionalization; great one!!
