when you read this does not matter
my heart beats once an eternity
wats a couple of hours
knowing you'll read this
is enough for me to dream tonight

how will you read it?
with the heavy eyes of a day
with the foggy eyes of a night
with the open arms of a friend
will you re read it and love it
will you smile and discard it

a rose has as many thorns as petals
a heart has as many aches as beats
for years ive watched the world
instead of living in it
i forgot what it was like
to join in the act

before i dream tonight, of the colours
that arent black or white
and the sounds that arent
ringing and monotone
i just wanted to say thank you
love, is what you've done for me...

LOL...your nickname is actually what drew me in...I like the sentiments you expressed in this piece, and the honest place it seems to come from. I wasn't a big fan of the slang version of English though...it takes away from the meaning somewhat, which is a shame...I do indeed like the thoughts laid out here though. Keep at it, and welcome to ypdc : )

Thanks to all for the positive criticism so far. this is from a txt msg i sent a person recently. while ive tidied up most of the slang vocabulary, i felt it would have lost the setting of the poem for me had i removed it completely. hope thats a satisfactory explanation:)
