The smile falls from the stars

Liquiod spilling from the rims of my teeth

A beautiful disaster

An unforgetable memory

A breath of roses

Silent but sweet

Tears dripping like dew off the leaves

Sleepless nights turn into countless days

As I remember the way you said my name

Your sunny touch

Your stormy words

How your kisses crashed down like lighting

Your hands grip like thunder

Shaking the hand of my father

The fake hurt you pretended to feel

While I stood by your side

As they called your name

The sun will never rise again

The boy will never fish from the moon's rocky edge

I will never again say your name

Let it rain drops of sparkling juipiter.

Hey, would this be inspired by Train's "Drops of Jupiter", by any chance?

Anyways, lovely poem here. Strong and effective imagery, especially the first two lines (though watch out for typing errors!)

Your sunny touch

Your stormy words

How your kisses crashed down like lighting

Nice change in mood.

Perhaps I'm not reading carefully enough, but I'm not really sure what this is talking about exactly. At first it seemed like a love poem, but then you mentioned a father, and a fake hurt, and somehow, that didn't seem to quite fit in. Try making the situation a bit clearer?

Overall, nice job! Keep on developing the idea with your very nice sense of imagery; I'm sure this poem'll go far. :)
The wittiest thing is the simple truth.

Sorry but there's no O in liquid. Why would you connect an idea that suggests beauty, smile ... stars, and liquid ... teeth; a more disgusting image in my opinion. It just doesn't really seem to match up. And since you don't continue with this kind of description as closely. Which makes it even harder for us to figure out what this could mean.
A beautiful disaster
An unforgetable memoryThe flow between these lines a bit bad. A like or some other connecting word between disaster and an can make it flow a bit better.

Here, I like the close relation of the subject of everyline, it gives it theme and an overall connection set up. Which is easier to use when figuring out what you mean.

You don't need both fake and pretend in the same line, since they are the same thing basicly, it's redundent. And how does shaking hands with your father bring you into this idea? It doesn't, there needs to be a connected chain of thoughts from one to the next.

The boy will never fish from the moon's rocky edge What? And this is like what is said above, it doesn't really follow that storm theme you had going. So we don't really have enough connections from other ideas in the poem.
I will never again say your name
Let it rain drops of sparkling juipiter. I don't really think this connections to the above line too well.

Over all:
There was some flow issues that I already pointed out.

As well as the idea of this poem being too subtle to understand. Adding a theme with all the imagery being spawned from one type of location. Such as everything being in terms of a storm in the middle of your poem.
When you have a theme, it can make an over all web of ideas that can be connected togeather and changed around a little based on how they would react in a reality / in a real storm.

Good luck, keep writing.

Hilo (hi and Hello combined)! Let's see here... I don't do Poems... sorry. But, for your sake, I'll see what I can do!
I like the whole thing, but, it sometimes goes away during the poem. What I mean by that is: The scenes in between the whole poem don't match up. It's a bit confusing.
Like, where it says 'father' then after 'fake hurt'. What are you trying to say here?
That's pretty much it. I have nothing to poems, but I just don't know them so my help was kind of worthless :)

Keep Writing!
