"Poetry is the universal language..."

If you knew how much I really adore, You are the one that keeps me together, You would not go abuse my love no more, I wish you knew I want this forever.
 * __Sonnet__**

The way I look into your eyes I melt, When our song plays I tend to fade away, I feel a way that I never ever felt, Before I came here I wanted to stay.

I see us with each other till we grow old, You have been my one and only sunshine, I wish we are together till we cold, I hope that you will always be only mine.

Want to capture all of the perfect times, Always together type wine and dine.

Ode to that special person, I am glad that you stuck by my side. I am thankful that you haven't left even through all the shit, I know I bitch about alot, and think lfe is based of the past, When the only thing you do is try and make me realize that is not. People say this and that about you, I look them in the face and say fuck you. I don't care about their opinions, Because they don't know you like I do. All the tears I seen run down your face, All the tears you wiped off of mines, Not everyone has that. You are the person that I go to when shit gets hard, You are the person that keeps it real, You are the shoulder I lean on.

font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">__Poems by W.B Yeats__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> by [|W. B. Yeats] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. How can those terrified vague fingers push The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body, laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? A shudder in the loins engenders there The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And Agamemnon dead. Being so caught up, So mastered by the brute blood of the air, Did she put on his knowledge with his power Before the indifferent beak could let her drop? In the poem Leda and the Swan by W.B. Yeats uses imagery to tell the story. It’s a love poem in a way but also its like the Beauty and the Beast. “How can those terrified vague fingers push The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?” Its saying how can the wings of the swan touch her like a human can. “Did she put on his knowledge with his power Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?” The author is saying that she looked past the beak and the big white feathers, she looked within and fell in love. When reading this poem, I felt a sense of love and romance, I can see the author reading this with a romantic kind of voice, make you know what its about. Despite what other people may have said about her. The enjambments are what make the poem, without the commas or the punctuation marks makes the reader think and wonder. The poem flows in a way that makes it worth reading.I think the poem gives us a sense of love in a different way. People are to hung up on what other people think about their relationship, not what they actually feel about the person. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">**Never give all the heart** by [|W. B. Yeats] Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O never give the heart outright, For they, for all smooth lips can say, Have given their hearts up to the play. And who could play it well enough If deaf and dumb and blind with love? He that made this knows all the cost, For he gave all his heart and lost. In the poem Never Give All The Heart by W.B. Yeats, the lines somewhat stay the same through out the whole poem, they are short lines. Have a rhyme scheme, that makes the poem flow well together. Through most of the poem, there are multiple enjambments and end-stopped lines. "For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight." The poet, makes you want to keep thinking, about what else is going to happen, there are a few sentences that are completed. I think the author of the poem was feeling in the 'love' mode and decided to write a fairy tale some what. With the thought of what is going to happen next, the reader begins to think of a picture. The imagery of this poem is quite easy to see. A man gave his heart to a female, she played with it like a toy. The poem will speak out to someone who has or is dealing with something similar to this. Speaks for more to a crowd of people within. **When You Are Old** by [|W. B. Yeats]
 * __Ode to that special person:__**
 * Leda and the Swan**

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. In the poem When You Are Old by W.B. Yeats, the author gives a sense of passion. It makes you wonder if this can really happen in the future and is it possible. The image of this poem is vivid, it is easy to tell what the author wants you to see. "When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book..." I would think the author's voice is romantic and intone with the reason as to why he wrote the poem. The rhyme scheme of this poem makes it more wanting, the mood makes it more alive. The enjambments make the poem go steady and at the same pace throughout the whole thing. This a formal poem, because of the way that it is written and worded. The poet is relating love and age in a weird way, when you are old you still want love. I think that is the reason as to why I fell in love with the poem, it speaks to me in a way and is easy to read.This poem would speak to a crowd of people who have been in love and are thinking ahead in the future. My poetry is based off of life experiences and the past, I write and read only this. Rhyming makes the mood drift, from sorrow to happiness. Just like me.
