andshedied posted a new Poem titled Child On His Breath 24 years ago
He said it smells like children,
And there's child on his breath,
And though she tries to fight it,
She only can invest.
But in a faded moment,
The story has all but ended.
Hidden in a hundred years,
Swallowed and descended.
He said you taste like... [read more] |

Electric stars an the ceiling so bright Lighting up the palest little night Best friends sit on their makeshift hill Toasting to dreams that may always stay still A picnic of hopes they hold deep inside Together they'll never have to hide A... [read more] |
hardgal posted a new Poem titled i have never 24 years ago
I have seen thousands of sunsets that
Would take your breath away
Taken pictures of its beauty so with
Me they would stay
I have awaken to sunrises full of wonder and hues
Colors so bold and bright in pinks and blues
I have stared at the sky until... [read more] |

Drifting
I feel as if I am drifting on an open sea Emptiness and longing overwhelm me I shade my eyes to the sun as it burns my skin Not knowing where i am going or where it is I have been.
I close my eyes to the pain inside Still it... [read more] |
hawksquaw99 posted a new Poem titled A SEAMANS LIFE 24 years ago
Boats and bait
smells that take your breath.
Crews of young men,
fish to clean and weigh.
Waves and raging waters
winds that cut right through.
No thanks ever given
to a man that makes his home on the sea.
He leaves home and hearth,
traveling far... [read more] |
gentle posted a new Poem titled Mean Mr Selfish 24 years ago
Everything here is a mirror to you.
When you awaken & the sky isn't blue,
You suggest that God has been quite untrue,
For rainy days aren't allowed in your queue.
Everyone adds an offence to your life.
Nothing is your sin, not even your ex wife... [read more] |
rosebudblooming posted a new Poem titled WALK ON WATER 24 years ago
I would cast out my anchor,
And hurl my wretched body over this railing.
I would walk on water,
If I thought I could,
Just to be able to close the gap
Between your ship and mine.
But I can't walk on water.
I would just drown.
Would you try to save... [read more] |
rosebudblooming posted a new Poem titled DID SOMEBODY...? 24 years ago
Did somebody knock over
Your tower of Oreos
Before the judges
Could even see how high it goes?
And did somebody
Just kick you in your face?
Laugh at you,
Or put you in your place?
Did someone hurt you?
Did someone break your heart?
Did someone... [read more] |
dragongreeneyes posted a new Poem titled Do I have to ryme 24 years ago
Do I have to rhyme???
Because I never learned
how to turn
that clever phrase.
The rhythm of rhyme
escapes my mind
my brain refuses to work
And just to show
my talent won't grow
it took me an hour
to write these few lines

andshedied posted a new Poem titled X 24 years ago
He said with a sneer,
As he slithered on by,
"You are the reasons I make children cry."
He grinned with that mouth,
And squinted those eyes,
He knew what to do to make your heart cry.
That devil, that troll,
That monster that tries,
He always... [read more] |
terry posted a new Poem titled OVER YOU 24 years ago
When first I saw you
I passed over you
For girls with model looks
And no brains
When next I saw you
I looked over you
I heard your sweet laugh
and fell under your spell
When I asked you out
I marvelled over you
You had so many things
To say, all... [read more] |
toobuena posted a new Poem titled Vestals 24 years ago
We are celibate in our servitude,
attempting to achieve...
parallels of latitude.
We stoke the sacred fires,
all the while enhancing...
your desires.
We are creatures of mythology,
tending the hearth...
transcending theology. [read more] |
milaamo posted a new Poem titled Things Now 24 years ago
What happened to the way things use to be?
Talking on a warm day by the dock.
Laughing at a small joke no one else would get.
Being in our own world.
What happened to all that?
Everything that made life fine.
Everything that made me smile inside... [read more] |
dragonzite posted a new Poem titled Will You Go On? 24 years ago
Afraid to live,
Afraid to die,
To weak to laugh,
To strong to cry.
I walk alone,
I cannot trust,
I will not hurt
The love I must.
I reach for help,
I pull away,
I'll let you in,
But not to stay.
You're in my heart,
You're in my head,
Will you go... [read more] |
