Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Darkness: 1 of 227
THE DARKNESSDarkness envelops meLike a black satin glove.It chokes the life out of me.It bleeds me of all peace and love.I'm frozen in this latency,Unable to move forward.It takes my courage away,Leaving behind a coward.The ground that I've fallen uponI must use to push myself up again.As I eat the dirt of despondency,I have ...

REALITY OF LOVELove is not some special thing,One experiences once or twice.It's something that existsConstantly in daily life.It's in the smile you wearWhen you come through the door,Even after a stressful day,And your body's tired and sore.It's in the way you listenTo everything I have to say.Although you've heard it all be...

CONVERSATION WITH SALLYI was telling SallyThat my mother had died.She told me of her father's death,As tears ran from her eyes.He had died when she was quite young,But the pain she felt was the same.As if it was only yesterday,She re-experienced it again.I felt such compassion for her,It put her in a different light.As human ...

RETROSPECT ON THE 20TH CENTURYEven though,The 20th century has been an age of war,Culminating in the dropping of the atomic bombThat wiped out IN AN INSTANT, entire citiesIn a death so horrible, those who witnessed,And survived, Were never quite the same.Even though,People have been persecuted for their race,Religion, sex, na...

ON DIALOGUEThere are so many ways of looking at something,We all have our own point of view.If mine differs from yours,Does that make what I think untrue?If after a heart-felt dialogue,We continue to disagree,Does it mean our conversationHas ended unsuccessfully?If at least we come to understandAnother person's heart,Then val...

THE KEY TO ENJOYING LIFEI want to rely on myself-Nobody else.Pick myself up when I fall.Not count on othersTo be my father or mother.I stand alone, proud and tall.I want to fightThrough my dark night.Prove to myself I can win.Mastering my mind, releasing the bindsThat imprison me within.To be truly freeI take responsibilityFo...

IN DREAMSIn dreams you visit me,And it seems real.There's no substance to your form,Except in the way I feel.When I awaken,Emotionally shaken,I long to sleep again,To re-open the Morpheus door.Ah, to have you with meIf just in a dream, once more. More..

SONNET# 19 ON SOLITUDEI dare to find joy in my solitude.Others could think of it as loneliness.I can regard it with deep gratitude,And as a chance to reach my inner best.My time spent alone I have used to findA depth in myself I'd not seen before.In the innermost recess of my mind,I discover a new world to explore.In these pa...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lost cats: 1 of 15
MY LOST CATI opened the door and out you ran.I chased you around for hours,Behind the bushes you hid,Then frolicking gaily in the flowers.To you this was a funny game,To me a huge disaster.The closer I got to grabbing you,You'd take off even faster.Finally around three a.m.You were no longer in sight.Dejected, I went in the h...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Today: 6 of 84
LIVE FOR TODAYLifetimes are spent in anticipation,Always looking for what's around the bend.Such a life can end up in frustration,If our happiness must always dependOn what's next. For if we ignore todayAnd all its endless possibilities,Then we are throwing happiness away.Each moment is an opportunityTo take in all we can of ... More..
