This text is silly?
I think your mind is chilly...
Read between the lines,
It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms...

A bereft freedom

Revoking kisses
Erasing vows

Empty contract
Failed love story 
Read between the lines

I always tell people, I don't worry much about what you're telling me. I'm more interested in what you're not telling me.

Poets are a special breed
who share their thoughts 
and emotions through rhyme.
Now and then
you can sense their pain
when you read between the lines....

Read between the lines, my love
There is no love
just pretend
A good show for all our friends
I'm dying to know
when you fell out love
that's all i need to know
All i wanted was you and 
slowly you write yourself
 out of my life...

Read in-between lines
Glimpse clear message fine


Catch the hidden touch
That tells more than much


Know that spacious lot
Beyond simple thought


Read the fine print well
Watch secret art spell

A pretty little thing named Sandy.
Made all of the men feel so randy.
She's quite a nice lass.
So I won't be crass.
But it really is quite a dandy.

P.S. You'll have to connect the dots. Read between the lines. However you want to put it. :) Peace. :)...

my heart
went slowly
tumbling
down
low
anger and rage filled my heart
I didn't exactly understand
but I didn't question why
I just cried
cried and cried until I had no cry left
I didn't bother to wipe my tears
they where too much to bear
nobody said it'd be easy...

If you could read between the lines 
My heart holds as my bars 
You'd see that I am trapped
And needing a new start
Can you release me from these chains
So I can be free to love again
I long for you and our heart's new tune
To be in sync and in love with you...

If only women spoke their mystic minds, 
If only men could read between the lines - 
Weary walls, bifurcating sexes, would
Be more transparent, less misunderstood. 

No Venus/Mars dichotomy thereof, 
The only modus operandi - Love!

My message lies not in the sentence
If you learn to read between the lines
You will hear stories in my silence
My life is not about roses and wines

I look strong on the exterior
But I am weak on the interior
I may be smiling on the outside
But I am hurting on the inside...

Class they call it!
Always an obstruction
As I fly to reach the skies.

Class they call it!
Forbade me from loving
The stars
Because I am a child of the sands.

I would soar high
Till I reach the skies
Even if it means 
A broken wing

For I can read between the lines....

Here's a little hint about me, 
(Actually regarding my latest M P D).
Listen to me very carefully 
and you'll avoid yourself a sure fire future disaster.
There isn't anything this poet can't Master.

Some may find this a rather odd rhyme,
but others would be wise to read between the lines....

Invisible, yet shines,
Can read between the lines,
Transmits faster than light,
Though rated grey it's bright,
Cannot be sold or bought,
But can be changed a lot,
When open, it broadens,
If closed, it's a burden,
Encased, so can't be tossed,
But, sadly, can be lost.

so few words disguise the truth
read between the lies!

are sacked for whistle blowing
gagged for truth telling

Deep down in my heart I hold you,
Every breath of you is delightful,
Didn't know that you are the one for me,
Every time I see you,
Every time I think of you,
Peace is inevitable when I am with you,
You can feel my love yet you don't see it,
Amazing it is "LOVE" 'complicated' but that's what makes it sweet....

You hold the wood in your hand 
And 
Wear the robes wrapped around your fragile human frame

You judge the living 
And
The dead although your own breath is shallow

You read between these lines
And
Decide a life's works worth

The verdict
To convict or aquit
Hangs in the balance of the downward hammer swing...

My message lies not in the sentence
If you learn to read between the lines
You will hear stories in my silence
My life is not about roses and wines

I'm happy on poetrysoup but sad in real life
My face smiles while I weep with my heart
A good girlfriend just became a bad wife
Maybe it is time to make a fresh start...

Holding on to my words
Forgot to tell you all I had to say
Holding on to my Words
Missed Chances, Chances not taken
Holding on to my words
The sun set with your kiss
Holding on to my words
The sun rose with my dreams of us
Holding on to my words
The need grows deep inside, I get butterflys

God has tasked poets,
With keeping Hope alive,
Love in all their labours,
Anger under  control,
Sadness from overflowing,
Romance from slipping off the page,
And most poets can take heart from their effort,
To instill in others what they write in indelible ink,
For all who cross their page,
And read between the lines....

I write so many words for people who will never read them
I bleed ink to paper
Climbing my way out of a glass box of brokenness
I leave pieces of me in the poems of a half written book
I don't know if I'm trying to understand the pain people feel
or if I'm secretly hoping someone can finally read between the lines of my silence...
