The World Is Not Enough by ~AlexaSexyBabe:iconAlexaSexyBabe:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Teen or Young Romance > Open




I see glory filling up the sky,
The stars shining,
The moon smiling at night.
I can feel the sweetness of the wind as
It caresses my body,
The sun kissing my skin and
I can smell the rich perfume of the flowers.

If I know and enjoy the beauties of this world,
Why do I feel so empty?
Why do I feel like I need something else;
When I have more than enough?

Why are the wonders of nature
Not sufficient to my soul?
Is it so apparent?
I am an airplane with no where to land.

I need to know that love will fine me.
I can see the stars from here, but
I can’t reach them.

The anticipation torments me.
I keep searching for pure love.
I don’t want to wait any longer.

I need to know that there is more to this life than
What we know, but
I can’t know that without love.
That’s why the treasures of Earth are not enough.

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago. It just talks about how the treasure of earth are not enough if you don't have love in your life. The real title is "The Treasures Of Earth Are Not Enough" but the title didn't fit on the headline so I had to narrow it down to "The World Is Not Enough"

Thank you very much. There is a song? Let me know the name of it. I know there is a movie with this title. It wasn't meant to have this title, but the website wouldn't allow me to expand it. It was meant to be "The Treasures Of Earth Are Not Enough"

Good job, I'm not a poet so I don't know what kinda critique I to offer but I did catch a typo:

"I need to know that love will fine* me." find?

Good start, but I feel like sometimes you're telling the reader rather than showing them. Similarly, but perhaps easier to understand, you use words that you don't necessarily need... Like the last line, 'That's why the treasures of earth are not enough'. You don't need the 'that's why'. If you like it, keep it, but otherwise I'd recommend you take it out, and check for anything similar in the rest of the piece. For the line about the airplane... I'd say either change 'no where' to 'nowhere' if it's a typo, or if you wanted to keep them separate to create a feeling, I'd capitalize Where, so that people know it's not just a mistake. And maybe change 'airplane' to something like a bird, it's prettier. Although airplanes do have the advantage of being just machines. Gah! I can't tell if these things are on purpose or not... Sorry this is so long. Excellent concept, just needs a little polishing.
