Hello,
This is obviously the first time that I have written a poem as I’m sure you will all be able to tell. I just need an outlet and wanted to try something new. Please give me your honest feedback.
As I stated into the deep blue ocean,
My truth was finally awoken.
As waves are briskly brushing, I realise I am nothing.
I am used. I am broken.
I am powerless. I am hated.
I am gullible, always vulnerable.
Always Weak.
Your voice, your whisper impaled my ear,
I am now forever in fear.
Depressive episodes never far in the distance,
You ruined my confident, joyful exsistance.
As the day draws to a close,
I always take a huge dose.
The pain, it numbs
My mood, it brightens.
Overdose will always be a fear,
Though not as much as knowing you are near.
Thank you for reading,
Please provide feedback below.

His name sounds like water
like waves on the sea
like a summer breeze in the tallest tree
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary
His face is pure white
he has a beautiful smile
he is the romantic candle in darkness
He is the sound of the poem
the sound of the music
the rhythm of rhyming words
He came and casted a spell
he came and showed his existence
Even though he's too far
I remember every action of his
Him laughing and smiling
Geez, his warmest hug
his charming face
I don't know what to say
He's unexplainable
he's a dictionary itself
he's as pretty as a picture
They are right when they say
love drives you crazy
love makes you blind
love makes the world go around
A fine country squire name of Zachary,
Made a fortune in his haberdashery.
The ladies and gents,
Put out a fair pence,
In return for the good squire's advisory.
He fancied a dowager lady,
Known as quiet, fastidious Miss Sadie.
She was quite a good looker,
Also a good cooker,
But there was two sides to this lady.
The squire did call on Miss Sadie.
Demurely she promised him maybe,
They could have tea,
Beneath the Oak tree,
And he began seeing her daily.
One week was all that it took,
And the squire was firmly hooked.
He lost lots of weight,
In one week of dates,
'Cause Sadie really knew how to cook.

Accepts all flaws as they are
Believes in one self ability
Comes to every students needs
Dedicate his efforts willingly
Enjoy the company of students
Fail not to attend lecturers everyday
Gives ears and shoulders to cry on
He is an inspiration
Improves all lessons beyond
Just some words to tell all about him
Keeps you close to his heart
Laughs with students and hugs students
Make students his friends
Over appreciative
Points out students efforts and mistakes
Quick to say "I am sorry "
Reliable to ask questions
Smiles all the time
Teaches for all to understand
Unique is the best word for you
Very energetic
Well dressed to impress
X termly perfect
Yes, you are my best teacher
Zachary is his name
Oh joy! Oh bliss! Oh crêpe suzette!
— Dr. Zachary Smith Lost In Space
MISSING EARTH
exclamatory eeks of terra ferma.
Oh meddlesome bother oh heartbreak!
extreme scripted screams: ah ah ahhhh, almost
a sneeze. a snodular lunicious decrepitabilty,
a blunderous crustacean of ineptabilty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel joy that cheers the way of poise,
Opt to breathe light in touch of grace;
Note how love steers your fragrant voice,
Dream of grand sights that flood your space.
Home greets your heart with vibrant peace,
Observe warm smiles as blessings flow;
Meet sparkling art with ample ease,
Etch touch that styles what soul now shows;
Charm finds you well with echoes fond,
Outline deep thrill of flourish then;
Mind crafts sweet dwell to greet new dawn,
Indulge great fill beyond just when;
Now and here see pleasant chimes rhyme,
Glimpse what must be such precious times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loiter with grace
Stretch learning pace
Absence feels sad
Pain ponders glad
Away from home
Read foreign tomes
Work study course
Flavour right cause
Quest helps ponder
Gift of wonder
Style precious time
Watch prompt flair chime
A broken heart
Greets healing start
Each moment seize
A lasting squeeze
Do what you do
Feel your soul cue
Rainbow and rain
Colours arch plain
Absence marks fond
Grand thoughts love spawns

Here by the gate,
Fate is not late;
Study tour calls
In brisk footfalls.
Here as we sip,
Espresso trip;
With kin and friends,
Fond touch attends.
Your night time flight
In the clear light;
Faces share smiles,
Warm feelings style.
There’s much to cheer,
Just being here;
Bon voyage then,
Boarding pass tends.
A photo treat,
Visuals now greet;
For old time’s sake,
Cheers that we make.
Have a good trip,
Study tour grips;
Work smart fond feel,
Chalk up goodwill.
Blessings to each,
Seize ample reach;
Glimpse happy lot,
Dwell with fine thoughts.
January mood
With quest made good;
A dream to meet,
Mellow feels sweet.
So, here’s to you
Where fate funds cue;
Moments now cast
Wonder at last!
May all things good
Caress fond moods;
May success thrill
Wise, affluent feel.
Listen dear heart
As hard work arts;
Be in-sync whole,
Body-mind-soul.
Yet, fun attends
Your action plans;
Let heart and mind
Greet rainbow finds.

Start with your heart to know fond quest,
Spark your sure art with happy zest.
Pique your clear mind with happy thoughts,
Prize your grand finds as play frames plot.
Apt love knows joy in peace of mind,
Ask to enjoy life's journey kind.
Reach for a touch that crafts each day,
Reap more than much good feel your way.
Keep faith and hope your circle wide,
Kindness now scopes each lovely tide.
Live what you feel as wise thought rooms,
Love ever thrills what change now blooms.
End as you start with grateful heart,
Endow each part with awesome art.
See the end game in wonder's quest,
Spice your good name with zeal and zest.
Make room for more to fill your cup,
Mind what you store as soul moves up.
Zoom now in-sync with heart and mind,
Zest anchors think as success signs.
Explore each day the path of light,
Expect wise ways that confer sight.

Seek deeper poise
Beyond mere noise
Seek inner voice
In silent poise
Seek stillness now
Beyond just how
Seek to know more
Where silence shores
Seek to keep still
To honour will
Seek beyond noise
Stillness warms poise
Seek light that shows
Where no voice flows
Seek that grand space
Glimpse hidden face
Seek and seek more
An endless shore

Dare dance
Seize chance
Calm fit
Fine wit
Joy floods
Warm blood
Trust truth

Good times
Cheer flings
Wit springs
Peace sums
Cheer comes
Make sense

TINKERS #3:
Make what you will of time and space,
Indulge wise heart that treats you right;
Cheer helps you heal the hurts you face,
Hope sculpts fine art with profound grace;
Apt joy now grows the way of tact,
Entice pure spice to flavour treats;
Live what life shows in code and pact.
Trust in surprise to ease the heat,
Invest and see the path you take;
Niche that fond feel with purpose grand,
Keep things easy in all you make;
Embrace each thrill that fits your plans,
Rapture in bliss the light of day,
Succeed like this the truth you play.

TINKERS #2:
Meet that sure ease with words that show,
Imprint clear voice to sparkle time;
Charm follows choice in subtle rhymes,
Hinge a calm peace with poise that glows;
Aim to do well with peace of mind,
Exult in grace that puzzles earth;
Love sculpts your face in wonder's birth.
Touch grooms fine tell where honour signs,
Incline fond heart with faith that knows;
Note how you feel as insight comes,
Keep shrewd goodwill with action sums;
Entrance clear art with curious flow,
Risk flavours fact with speedy curl,
Succinct the pact of thought that hurls.
