Everything you do in life is insignificant, but its important you do it anyway ~Ghandi


If I die in my sleep I want you to take my dreams
If I die in the blink of an eye I want you to take my sight
If I die because God needs an angel I want you to take my wings
If I die because you stop loving me I want to take my heart and my memories
Hold my heart next to yours as you watch my memories, our lives flash by
If you do what I ask I will live forever

I like the imagery in this one. The line about God was pretty original. Nice job.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

I love it, so powerful and beautiful. You let a lot of the emotions seep through in every word.

No matter how high you are, you always have to come back down.

Your writing is amazing, it was very short and sweet and to the point but it was beautiful.

"Inspiration is only as enlightening as you are open to it."

This is delightful... Your simple writing style makes your short poems that much more meaningful (: I love your expressions like "Hold my heart next to yours..." and "...take my wings...". There is a thin line on what is over the top, and what will make your readers want more. You definitely have the latter in your writing! Kepp it up (:
