danesdad posted a new Poem titled There I Go Wishing Again 24 years ago
I close my eyes, in dream land again,
My wife and kids playing in the lawn,
I sit in a chair looking at the sky,
Then I let out a tired yawn.
There I go wishing again,
I never can seem to stay in reality,
Life is never quite that easy,
all these... [read more] |

I can see you there behind me......
bet you did not know that......
you are like a quick flash.....
only a blur through time.......
I catch a shot only now and then.......
you never want to me to see straight on......
so I depend on the side... [read more] |
toobuena posted a new Poem titled Avalanche Lily 24 years ago
The moment that you step off of the plane...
I remember why I love you.
Has it really been five years, no five minutes...I'm sure.
It was so very important, you explained,
that you find the places where the snow falls silent and pure.
Your world was... [read more] |
eltrue posted a new Poem titled Brothers Deep 24 years ago
Half a lifetime from the golden years
and the tides keep rolling in
and in the mighty waves I hear
their spirit calling me again.
Shaking sails and cetecean
and tales of yore unfold.
In the weeping wind my ancient friends
keep calling out to my... [read more] |
eltrue posted a new Poem titled I Have Turned Young 24 years ago
Now that I have turned young..
when will
that Justason girl's
Married time,
allow her to ever kiss me?
Never caring
that the clock still ticks...
because lust was filling her budding breasts,
when our lips locked.
But I do admit,
that even though... [read more] |
eltrue posted a new Poem titled The Deer Hunters Elegy 24 years ago
After a rain, after a branch soaked journey,
I sit near a clear cut watching silt filled
water lazily run off the open yard.
I stare at the torn floor,
my thinking fractured by the damage
and I imagine a small deer
watching from the trees in the... [read more] |
eltrue posted a new Poem titled Grandpa 24 years ago
This is a story bout a grandpa and grandson
I walked proudly with him when I was young.
I'd try to act older than a little kid
walkin and talkin just like he did.
Well I never asked for anything more than his love
and he'd put his arm around me and... [read more] |
danesdad posted a new Poem titled A writer is born 24 years ago
He sat in his chair with pen and paper,
Writing his heart on the sheet,
Giving every word the emotions he had,
Just to make the world suffer his defeat.
The words were lively and warmed many hearts,
Just like a fresh cup of coffee on a Sunday... [read more] |
drphat posted a new Poem titled The Spice Of Life 24 years ago
A face in the crowd, A player in the game,
Everybody's different, Nobody's the same,
Variety's the spice of life, It's what makes us unique,
The Prep, the Jock, The BeautyQueen, The Skater, and the Geek,
Beauty is inside our hearts, Not on the outer... [read more] |
karen415 posted a new Poem titled Lost and Found 24 years ago
In the darkened smoky hall
it begins, things come back.
A sip of beer, a waft from a
Camel cigarette, the tick
-ticking from the earth
when he's close by.
No tribute either way
just "Daddy" and "KarenAnn".
Innocence is lost by degrees.
Across land... [read more] |

~A Christmas Wish~
Christmas Spirit,
Of long ago,
Show me your face
Once more,
So I may stroll
Back again,
In my mind's eyes
To bygone days,
When I was so young
And fresh.
Sweet memories were then,
Of gingerbread houses,
Blinking lit up trees and... [read more] |
ladydp2000 posted a new Poem titled SO FAR AWAY 24 years ago
My forbidden lover,
Now wearing a cloak
Of sadness,
Like a dress.
How near and far away,
You really are!
Distant,
Dripping and
Instrussive,
Grey clouds.
Falling forever,
In great masses of
Rain.
My eyes,
Shapeless forms,
In yours now
Deepening dark... [read more] |
hhickson posted a new Poem titled To A Sea Gull on Eau Gallie Causeway 24 years ago
Copyright 12/14/00
The gull kneels in the turn lanes as if to pray.
Cars zoom by, but yet he stays.
Is he telling the world good bye?
Is this why, he will not fly?
What brought him to this spot,
A lost love or broken heart?
Or was he resting his... [read more] |

I know you.
You don't think I do, but I do.
I've eaten at your table,
slept in the same bed,
looked into the same eyes,
believing the same lies.
I have looked into the mirror and refused to see,
everything, even me.
I am familiar with you.
You... [read more] |
