Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nighttime blues: 9 of 146

I've never known heartache until today. The story of my life always ends up this way. The things you said dug deep and tight. Although every word you spoke was very polite. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were the one. I dreamed of you daily, I believed you would come. I waited and prayed, I prayed for a week. Unti...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Jazz: 2 of 23

JAZZ I have a strong need to elucidate my unfathomable love for You, named JAZZ The improvisational sound of ragtime and jive. Bop to the bebop of your rhythmic stride. O what you do. You, named JAZZ As I rouse everyday to harmonious sounds. Melodies of synthesizers playing, sotto voce, with Caribbean tinkling drums in the b...

Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles Is trust important for involvement: 1 of 5

Trust is definitely essential for involvement on a relationship aspect. However, most relationships have very little trust in them.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When you look at me: 59 of 268

There are a multitude of words I can relay, In order to convince him of who I really am. I find myself spending extreme amounts of time, ignoring my needs. In order not to dissuade him from his master plan. Confusion is a state of being confused. Not knowing from which to come or choose. I'm not there! I'm fully aware of my ...

And when the fiasco of Bush winning the elec...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Passion: 197 of 392

As chocolate as a Hershey's Kiss. Tall and sexy, "oh yes, he is." Stimulates my heart and mind. Each embrace sends chills up my spine. It's hard to believe this man is mine. Tracing my lips with his sensuous tongue. Passionate caresses, make me truly want to lunge, At him. Can you imagine? Down my neck with perfection and ea...
