summer heat on rise
glowing lust, budding flowers
ripe fruit, Eve awaits
 Sep 2014 Adam Latham
The Noose
Dispassionate heart
Summoning the chill
A skeleton of your former self
Domiciled within
These impediments

Panic prone
Arguing with fate

Weary of your blue
For how long will you
Linger in the shadows
incomplete.... just a rough draft really. Just felt the sudden urge to "put something out there"

12/10/2014
Update: A poem is never really complete there's always that "not quite" however, I have decided (thanks to fellow poets who commented) this one is complete as it is.
I just clicked the "shuffle" button on the main page, for the first time,
Did y'all know that was there?
Honestly,  it saddened me because all the poems I read only had, on average, about two or three likes and most of them were absolutely amazing!
So, I went to these unknown poets pages and got even sadder, hardly any followers either!  
It's a shame that with all the readers,  poets and writers alike that any poet would go unnoticed.

This is my challenge for you...  It's not to write any poems...
Click the shuffle button! Read the poems, like them, share them, add them,  everything!  

Help the new and upcoming poets get the recognition and feedback they deserve for their writing!  

*Challenge:
1. Click shuffle
2. Read Poems
3. Like and Comment
4. Repeat Ten Times
This is dedicated to CourageWhispers, the first "unknown poet" I found using shuffle, she's amazing,  please go to http://hellopoetry.com/turquoisebravery/ and read her poems.
This is also for all the poets on here that get discouraged by their lack of reads and likes, stay optimistic, you'll be discovered soon.
Sometimes at night,
When I look up into the night skies,
I starting think of you and ask myself "why?".
Why do I love you?
I think and smile
Because I know the list can run on for miles.
Your soothing voice, the warmth of your touch.
So many little things that make me love you so much.
The way that you care and show such devotion,
The way your kiss fills me with desire,
And how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire.
The way your eyes shine when you look at me,
Lost with you is where I want to be.
The dreams I dream that always in love you.
The possibilities I see and the things we can do,
I could go on for days telling you how I feel.
But all you really must know,
Is that my love for you is real.
