Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Insanity: 10 of 143
Sometimes I wonder if I have a soul,Sometimes I wonder if I have a heart...So What if I watch myself bleed?Aren't they my choices, my own life to lead?Or does that make me a monstrosity,a freak of nature, and empty figurine?So let me be, just let me wallow,I'll find a new path for me to follow.Stay away from civilized men,mak...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Uncontrollable feelings: 14 of 152
Shiver shake, and quiver quake;There's something coursing through my veins.It boils my blood, and shortens my breath;it strangles thought, and buries love.It's fiery red, and burns in my head;it makes me shriek, it makes me weak.A flood of curses, a deluge of hate;a storm of fury, and waves of cuffs.It pries me open, and gush...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Tragedy: 7 of 74
He once was a boy. His raincoat lay upset on the living room floor- not a drop, a splatter, of rain cooled its dry body. A torn envelope caught itself within a frozen hand- the letter lay shivering open upon a lap. "We regret to inform you-" More..

By Your BedsideDaylight slips in through half opened curtains,revealing shadows that play across my face:those mirrored within.How long must this go on,until I...The moments pass with graveyard stillness,old smiles fade away.So long I've stood by your bedside,there are no more tears.Watching as your heart stops.Then starts be...

(refrain)Laugh at me,oh won't you dance with me?Just whatever you do don't you leave me be!You made me seeand you set me freeand every time we touch I shiver in glee!(verse one)I met you thereat the county fair,the sunlight being bested by your golden brown hair!I walked on air,but I proceeded with care,afraid of letting you ...

drizzle,the rain comes down lightly,pecking the ground with its wet lips,moistening the tender earth.rain,an emptying of the sky,still soft on the eyes,evenly and wonderfully,it cleanses the world,makes things new.Storm,pounding, pummeling, uneven, horrorstearing and ripping our beautiful skylightning flashes and trees topple...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thoughts of you: 5 of 33
Just youI've worn my eraser down to a nub-trying to write today.A brilliant spark, I'd start to writeonly to fall victim to you.These thoughts strike me,invading my mindstealing my train of thought.Your voice entices me,soft in the air,a maddening siren's song.But still I try,my mind's now reelingtugging at the poem on the li...

Last MomentsMy breath laughs shamelessly, in my faceas I stand - out in the cold.Haunting memories, dancing bystories untold - they're taking hold.Watching through crystal mirrors,watch as my life hurries past.Look at my face in the mirrors,looking for someway to pass.It's going too fast!Tears bite at my cheeks now,leaving be...

Eulogy for my love:He led his life so full of love-never afraid to stopand be with the lost or lonely.He was a teacher, only thirty three-but with wisdom beyond his yearshe saved so many from darkness.He shared the love of all-young and old,quick and the lame.All changed in the course of a day-betrayed by one then stoned by a...

First and foremost, Iraq is not yet strong enough to defend itself on its own, secondly, by demanding troop withdraw by a specific date only sets the date that the insurgents will be able to strike back with l...
