A poem of romantic nature

Sort:
Xieff

To my friend William and his girlfriend Skylla, and to all of you out there:            "Match"

 
 For those of you loving symmetry,
 I have something to say for the sake of love.
 Churches are for weddings, funerals for th cemetery.
 It matters not, as long as you're happy, 
 If you come from below, or from far above.
 
 Short goes with tall, I don't care what you say.
 Big goes with small, nature tells all the way.   
 For with romance there is an attraction.
 Chess compares not, no not a fraction.
 
 Weak goes with strong, don't say I'm wrong.
 He denied interest, but loved her all along.
 Sweet is for bitter, like bitter-sweet chocolate.
 Boys go with Beauties, just accept the fate.
 The fate preferable above check mate.
 
  I tell you once more, I will not lie.
  Just simply go out and give it a try.     
  Go now girl, he is  your match.
  Go after her boy, she is your catch.
 
I wrote this in two hours. I was inspired by my promise to write it in honor of my friend William & Skylla.  
First poem I have ever written.

i write poetry. would you like to read one of mine ? btw, i really like yours !

Xieff

Of course. Even though I'm really bad at poems I really love to read them. :) You can either send it to me, or just post it in a comment. Or post a new forum topic on it. But keep in mind if you post it public, that there are a lot of people that like to hate on you, and just act stupid. I am really lucky to have such good feedback so far.

I exceedingly dislike ANY poetry, accept for J. R. R. Tolkien's, so I'm not saying anything

ok, I will. My oldest brother taught me chess back home. And although I love America I do miss home and our times playing chess. Here goes (I can't press the button !)...ok, ok here it is....ahhhh! Undecided 

 

I crossed bluewater in the belly of a bird

but felt as though I never left home

I slept in a tree under faraway stars

but felt as though I never left home

So I peered thru glass watching sand slowly fall

and realized that home’s been with me thru it all

 

Rooks slide in song then float me to when

I danced with my knight – my worries at ease

Tiles where I step take me to where

art filled the board in a warm hazel breeze

Oh! I beg of those days, “Don’t leave me alone

for within me’s a place where I’ll always be home.
