You're just another picture on the fire
Just another face in the pyre
In the ashes you may find
That I've left you behind
Though you think I miss you
I must say who needs who
I'm not even sure I'd cry
If you were to fall down and die
~Michael Kane
From Paris and Helen
To Romeo and Juliet
lovers never win
They're caught in a net
Oh fair Venus leave me
For my work still calls
From love set me free
Lest my mind stalls
Why must you taunt me so
Why must you master me
You tempt me then you go
You pull me out then leave me be
Many try to find love
Yet I spurn it
But into my mind it shoves
and causes my thoughts to flit
~Michael Kane
Thoughts of You
Dancing through my mind
Prancing around my desires
though you will only find
That's it's you who inspires
The fires in my heart burn
And I have discovered
That it is for you I yearn
Though you may not have heard
It's you who I dream of
And it might seem absurd
But I believe it's you I love
And though I am a nerd
Please grace me with your kiss
Or at least a smile
Give me a sign I won't miss
I've been waiting quite awhile
And as my mind has churned
I have thought of you
I beg you to think of me
Even half as much
As I think of thee
But as such
I love you more than these words can say
But no language can say how much I care
So each night I pray
That you understand and this I swear
I love you beyond compare
But I must say something
Though it may not be well prepared
I love you and you make my heart sing
~ Michael Kane
You are Forgiven
When Do I think of you,
When Do I breathe,
Even after what you put me through
I replay the moment every eve,
I will never forget It
But I have already forgiven,
I think I have accepted it
Hopefully I'm not mistaken
I haven't seen you since the hit
You Shot me through the heart,
But I use my mind,
I still think of you
And soon you will find
That these things are true,
I don't find you at fault
Your Decision was right,
Though It hurt me
I forgave you that night
And that realization set me free,
I was ready to die
But now I feel stronger,
The break up was coming
I'm glad it didn't take longer,
And now I must tell you something
I still miss you
~ Michael Kane
You Have No Power Over Me
I used to you fear you
But no more,
I know there is nothing you can do
Now I find your charms a bore
And I shall no longer pursue you
Until you open your heart,
I shall think of others
Yet I have loved you from the start
Such is often the sad story of lovers
Your charms have no power over me,
I shall laugh when you cast your spell
For now you are powerless
As this I just have to tell
I could not miss you less
Do you think you can ensnare me,
Well you are sadly mistaken
I have danced out of your web
And I have learned to ignore your din,
Now your power is at an ebb
You have no power over me
~Michael Kane
Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so cool.
Next time GCPL has a writing contest, we'll have to get you entered. I'
We'll celebrate at the next meeting. It looks like I'll have to bring the Goat Gouda and some of those blow-y whistles too.
Thank you I'm very proud of it in case you didn't notice the UBER PWNAGE remark and I just might have the courage to show this to the girl I wrote it for
I'VE BEEN PUBLISHED WOOT!!!!!!!!
ok now that that's out of my system let me explain. "Thoughts of You" which I have Just won an award for as I said before. Is now also being published by the American Poetry Society in their next Amateur Poets Compilation. However do not let this lofty title fool you it's just a way to publish your work for free and make a killing doing it. WOOT!!!! Now it's out of my system.
insert thumbs up emoticon here
(Of course, not the thumbs up in the traditional Roman way--it wasn't a good thing for the recipient)
Hey michle it's not that bad.
You spelled my name wrong and what's not bad
Thumbs up and in time, the girl I wrote these for is smarter than I gave her credit for and figured out they're about her and rather pointedly rebuffed me so, I'll be posting here with increasing regularity but they will probably be darker. Or I'm going into a temporary retirement which I was considering anyway, We shall see what happens

Hiya Michael,
Yes, I am back from vacation! And yes, you should definitely write more poetry. Expression through verse can be cathartic and healthy (not that you need me to tell you that).
Well I have good news, bad news, and more bad news we'll start with the bad news first. 1 I am going in for two doctor's appointments sometime soon one for a sleep study to determine the cause of my nightmares and and the other is a child shrink to get me on meds for my depression. The other bad news is you can't read most of it (Wait you'll get it) the good news is thanks to a heck of a lot of insomnia I have a newly stocked poetry folder over the past week I wrote about fifty poems most of which I won't post one because they aren't that good and well I have my reasons oh and Niles why can't I create another page
I have great news the poetry folder I lost has turned up
sweet, sweet. is it all love poetry or do you have more redwall eulogies? btw, did you read eulalia yet? i saw that we had a read-along copy sitting around.
I have quite a few more redwalls but like I said I quit until two other people post
