Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Words: 4 of 260
I danced with the devil,Because he fed me a line,Words upon words,Mixed with rose colored lies.Words of deception,Flowed sweet like wine.And I drank every word,Savoring his lies.Words are just words,I yearned to believe,Falling helplessly to my lover's feet.Losing myself to the mask that he wore.Losing myself to words,Nothing...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Destiny: 9 of 158
Dream with eyes wide open,Upon that open road.Feel that rush of freedom,As stories, you unfold.Dream with eyes wide open,Through the rolling hills,Take in what surrounds you,Each and every thrill.Dream with eyes wide open,Let your worries free,Feel the breeze surround you,Love and serenity.Dream with eyes wide open,Let your e...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love gone wrong: 8 of 137
My love,Come sit and talk with me,Beneath the weeping willow tree.Hold me close,Though we both know,Our story is now at a close.My love,Think not of a love gone wrong,As winds whistle a lonesome song.Tears will shed;Though soon will dry,Beneath dark but moonlit sky.My love,Waste not time on blame,For the love that was shall h...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lust: 30 of 320

Bodies entwined,Souls on fire,Burning with passion,And Untamed desire.The scent of his skin,The taste of his kiss,Hands exploring in fiery bliss.Beads of sweat glisten,In soft candle light.Bodies as one,In lustful delight.Two hearts pounding faster,With each gentle thrust.Moans growing louder,Ecstasy and lust.Bodies collapse....

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Betrayed by my best friend: 5 of 52
Throughout our youth, best friends come and go, sometimes changing from week to week for one reason or another. As we age, we begin to develop friendships that are more permanent and occasionally find that special person in which we share a bond. We call this person our best friend.Dana, her name rings in my head now like a w... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Should we apologise for the slave trade: 7 of 69
Tuesday, July 29, 2008, the US House issued a formal apology for years of slavery and injustices commited against black Americans. Now the question is, have black Americans forgiven white Americans for the atrocious crimes they committed against their black ancestors? Have they forgotten? I doubt it. If they forgive they will...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A gentle touch: 25 of 198
I see time passing me by,With broken wings,I now fly.A gentle touch upon my skin,Letting passion now pass in.No lies be told,Behind closed doors,What they don't know,Is I want more.A gentle touch deep within,Fires lit,No longer dim.Growing stronger,With each thrust,All began with a gentle touch.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Suicidal thoughts: 23 of 164
I sat upon my bed and stared,Just stared into a sea of hopelessness,That had no ending.I prayed not for the promise of a new day,But for the end of all my days.If I sleep, I'm still breathing,Still thinking, still dreaming.I stayed awake.My thoughts eluded me,Wanted them to cease to exist.If God will not take me,Then why can'...

Health & Fitness > Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder: Illness or excuse?: 16 of 107
Is bipolar disorder an illness or excuse? I have bipolar disorder and I wish that I was just making up excuses for my sometimes over-zealous behaviors because that would mean that I didn't have bipolar disorder. Although I choose not to think of it as an illness, I know that my severe mood shifts have a great impact on my lif... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Virginia Tech shooting: Should America ban firearms?: 8 of 53
Should America ban firearms? It would be wonderful if placing a ban on firearms would prevent another shooting like the one at Virginia Tech. However, banishing firearms will not solve the problem of violence in the United States. We must remember the old saying, guns don't kill people, people kill people. A person, like the ... More..
