They say that times a healer they say that you'll be fine,
They say that wounds heal quickly given thought and time.
They say that broken hearts will one day beat again,
But since you left me darling all ive seen is rain.
They say that times a healer they say they say you'll be ok,
But how can i stay with you when all you do is stray.
I wish that you were here with me to wipe away my tears,
To hold me close and comfort me and chase away my fears.
When i am feeling lonely theres no place for me to go,
For everybody's left me and now i stand alone.
They say that times a healer they say dont fall apart,
But how can i forget you when your still within my heart. -

It is certainly not a crime
If your poems do not rhyme
As a matter of fact it's now thought
It may be better if they not
Unless they come without haste
And fall naturally into place
It is neater, there's no doubt
Simply just to leave them out
Iambic meter or otherwise
Not rhyming is never a vice
It may even be seen as awkward
Unless employed in a formal sonnet
Especially if you try to force them in
Although that's not exactly a sin
The present participle is just too much
If used repeatedly as a crutch
Vers Libre is the way to go
As most current poets know
Don't get caught up in the past
Write yours modern, make them last -

Heaven can wait
Imagining how things will go,
Right at the very end.
I hope it's hot; I hate the cold
And working with my hands.
I would love to float on clouds,
Look down upon the world.
Just hope the harps are not too loud,
Cause string ensembles make me hurl. -

Im writing this post its my very first
A joke it is niether nor is it rehearsed
i dont really try to find words that rhyme
but flow like rivers that fall from the sky
who cares if its truth
who cares if its lies
u think that ill care about stupid replys
it crys like the ocean
floats like dung
emotion is joking
and still so much fun -

I've been looking for a cogent word other than kiss (of course) rhyming with Balkis in English or French. I'm a new member but an old hand at poem crafting. Lending me a useful one would be a welcome gift into this revered community.

Please my horror poem 'The Room'. I changed quite a bit of the piece for a better flow. Any comments and/or ratings would be appreciated, and I will be sure to do the same for you. Thanks!
