Life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.<br /> <br /> You are only as strong as your weakest link.


you promised me the sun and stars,
and i could believe it when
we spent all our time chasing fantasies
but now i’m lost [feeling like drowning]
screaming for all you have denied me
[and for the rest of my life, i will face this sea
and jump ship alone]

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Quite a spectacular whim I'd say. I'm really loving reading your poetry :) And like Mckay said, "AWESOME first line."

I love poems that come out of nowhere, somewhere but subconciously. Title's great: it speaks for itself. I love the beginning: "you promised me the sun and/ stars"—beautiful line.
