Review: Putting Boys on the Ledge by Stephanie Rowe

Putting Boys on the Ledge by Stephanie Rowe

This was a nice easy read ideal for teenagers who do not read very much. Its the kind of book that you could quite happily read in one sitting as the plot flows so well.

The characters were engaging and fun, some people may also find them and the plot to be relatable. Although the plot was relatively predictable this didn't draw away from the enjoyment of the overall book.

Poem: You’ll Never Be Alone

I want to let you in
There are so many stories to share
Although I don’t know where to begin
To our love, no one can compare

Your smile lights up the darkest of my days
And for this I’ll repay
All the care and love you have shown me
Is more than I can be
To have you by my side
Between us there’s nothing you can hide
To know it’s in you I can confide

You’ve got to understand
That it’s this I need you to know
You’ve got my promise
That you’ll never be alone

Poem: Just The Way

You're on one knee
Telling me how much you love me
Giving me forever
Telling me you want us to always be together
Happiness is spilling out of me
The future is where I want to be
Just you and me
We've got something that can only be described as perfect
It's just the way our hearts connect
We're united by this bond,
Together is how we will always belong

Hook/ Chorus: Give Me

Give me one more chance
To tell you I will be better
This will be forever
Give me, give me
One more chance
To give you all that I can

Poem: What I Need

So many things that I want
Top of the list is a knight and his steed
Second is true love
Followed by an angel sent from above
True love and protection
What I need is your affection
But there are some things that I’m dreaming about, if only
You were the one to hold me when I’m lonely
Then I wouldn’t have to be dreaming anymore

Poem: The Step I Have To Take

How many chances before you call it a day?
How many lies have I got to hear before I get my say?
I’m hearing so much nonsense
Boy don’t you have a conscience
Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?
A romantic gesture, on bended knee
That isn’t going to help you now
I can’t even scream about that other cow
You’ve reduced me to petty name calling
I wish I’d known when you had me falling
That I wouldn’t be your only
The last to call when you got lonely
I won’t be running back
I refuse to let the tears leave tracks
I’m turning my back on you
And everything you say you will do
Your words mean nothing
I’m just going to concentrate on living
This is the step I have to take
Even if it means my heart will break

Poem: The Feeling Inside

Your hand in mine
For all of time
Please guide me through
As I never want to be without you
You’re the breath in my body
You’re the beat in my heart
I’ve been waiting for this feeling
That I’m slowly revealing
I need to hold you
A need that’s become overdue
You’ve opened my eyes
To the feelings I have inside

Poem: The Best Is Yet To Come

A part of you is a part of me
And will always be
But now we’re through
We’ll walk our separate ways
It may take days
But in time you’ll see
The best is yet to come
I hope you understand
All is said and done
Walk with your held high
Because both of us know
How hard it is to say goodbye
With all the memories
And special places
In one of those new faces
You will find love
Another heart to treasure

Poem: Stay By My Side

You’ve opened my mind
To what the future could hold
Fingers intertwined
Hearts beat in time
You’re like the puzzle piece I’ve been trying to find
Your love feels electric
Pulsing through my veins
   
I’m ready to fly
With you by my side
Gliding through everything
Happy or sad
Good or bad
Together is how we’re meant to be

I like the way you say my name,
The way you never want to bring me pain
And those days we kiss in the rain
The small things like the smile you try to hide
And all the secrets you confide

I’ll wish tonight
That you’ll stay by my side

Poem: Something To Remember

Some people call you crazy, I call you mine
Together we’ll last till the end of time
Written like a fairytale, our love is meant to last
Forget about the past, look into the future
Together we’ll make it something to remember

A moment together will last forever
Saying those three words to each other
And knowing we’ll never part
Always treasured in my heart

Written in the stars
Is our future in each other
Guiding us down our path together
Finger interlocked
Hearts intertwined
Just like those two star crossed lovers

Poem: Plain for Anyone to See

We’re meant to be together
So give me the chance
I’ll be by your side forever
Be one hundred percent faithful
Give you gifts and buy you things
I’ll treat you right
Be by your side, no reason for us to fight
Never do you wrong
Because in my heart you belong
I’ll never leave you for anyone else
Won’t let anyone come in between
You and me
Because we’re meant to be
It’s plain for anyone to see
Call me when you get lonely
Because I want to be your one and only

Poem: Only Ready

Your voice runs through my head
Your touch lingers on my skin
You’re standing in front of me,
Eyes locked, body frozen
The sound of our hearts beating,
Echoing from the walls
I’m only ready to fall
If you’re going to be there through it all

Poem: One Thing I Would Do

There’s a light above me
Guiding me back home
Back to those I can turn to
Especially as I can’t last a day without you
With my last breath there is only one thing I would do
Say I love you
Please be there waiting
And never be contemplating
I’m coming home now
I hope I’m doing you proud

Poem: Not Ready Yet

Walking around
Staring at the ground
People passing by
Not ready for another good bye
Stay a while longer
Maybe we will become stronger
Just like Romeo and Juliet
We have a love no one will forget
Let’s make this last
We can’t let another moment pass

Poem: Not An Imitation

How do you tell the one you love
You’re in love with another
Who promises the world
Not just material things like diamonds and pearls
A man who treats me like a princess
He doesn’t listen to my past as if it’s something I should confess
Promising to help me succeed my dreams
And test life to its extremes
A complete gentleman
One who will pay for meals and hold open doors
Who will carry you shopping from the store
The only person you want to catch you when you fall
The first to be in your missed calls

A real man
Not an imitation of one

Poem: No Trust, No Love, No Angel From Above

Your side of the bed is empty
And so is the part of my heart that you once lived in
My eyes are so dry
There are no more tears left to cry
Memories of you everywhere I turn
The pictures of you I just want to burn
Your love I would once yearn
But not after I found out about you and her
No trust, no love
No angel from above

Poem: No Doubt

Every time I hear your voice
My heart stops without a choice
The butterflies in my stomach are set free
All the happens just by you speaking to me

When you’re near
I know there is no need to fear
You’re by my side day and night
In you I can confide, we have no need to fight
Because you are my guiding light
My partner in life
No doubt one day we’ll become husband and wife

Poem: My World In You

You’ve knocked me off of my feet
You’ve turned my world upside down
You drive me crazy all the time
But to me you’ll always be perfect

Never thought that this would happen
Saying you are the one
Falling in love
Hoping you are there through it all
Because now you are my world

Laying beneath the stars
Listening to your heart beating
Not saying a word
The silence says it all

There is something about the way you smile
That lights up the whole world
There is nothing that I could do without you
There is something about your eyes,
That makes me fall every time

 

This is a really really old poem that I thought I’d put up because I like it even though there are loads of improvements that could be made…. What do you think?

Poem: My Heart Instantly Knew

To have you is a blessing
And now to the feelings in my heart you have me confessing
Never thought I would find someone like you
But once I did my heart instantly knew
You’re the one to be by my side for life
I dream to be made your wife
With you I have a bond so strong
Everyone can see we’re meant to belong

When we’re apart I can’t help but miss you
And all the little things you do
Your hugs, your kiss
They’re impossible not to miss

 

Another ‘lovey’ one – What do you think?

Poem: My Best Friend and Love, My Angel From Above

From the moment I looked into your eyes
I was greeted by loves surprise
Never thought I would be here in your arms
Guarded from all harm
Please don’t push me away
Because with you my heart will always stay

I believe in you
Have faith in all you do
No doubt that to me you’ll be true

I don’t want to spent a minute apart
Because our love is like a work of art

My best friend and love
My angel from above

 

What do you think? -  I dug this one out from deep within my external hard drive (meaning it must be from way back when I just started writing poetry!).
