The Night is Getting Close



The night is getting close,

Our time is almost up,

Let not say goodbye,

Insand let hold hands,

On top on the hill we lay,

Looking up into the star lit sky,

Wondering how you will change their world,

Dreaming about being together,

Seeing them smile each day,

Making them laugh,

Knowing that feeling,

That one true feeling,

You won't never let them go,

Just want to tell them everything,

Pour out your love for them,

You want them so bad you won't give up,

Thinking if they are the one,

Hoping one day their turn around and say,

"Take me away to a far away place just you and me"

Ishmael Balfour

I started to read poems when I was 10 years old and was liking writing poems each day. Years later my mom was happy and glad I was writing small books and poems but sadly I lost her when I was only 15 years old and Remember's Day was the day she passed. Since then it has been two years and I wanted to make a poem group on facebook so I did. Couple months went by and my school started a poem group too so I joined. Friends and teachers told me I made amazing poems couple of my friend said they cried and so did some of teachers too. I kept on writing poems and get 14 followers in my poem group but I wanted more. Now I'm here posting my poems to the world all because of friends, family and teachers for being there for me. Thank you all :) more…
