Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Tears: 4 of 230
TearsThere it is again,the unavoidable burning in my throatthat signals the trapped emotions of tears wanting to escape. I feel them pushing against the flesh at my neck,striving for release.They singe the inside of my eyes as they threaten to greet you. With resolve and determination,I keep them imprisoned in their temple of... More..

The Bullets of LoveShe did it.I watched herIn monochrome slow motion.She did it.Her lips moved like a gun cocked,Finger on the trigger.The barrel pressed in to his chest,Cold, hard.And she did it.Bam! His heart shattered,Ten thousand memories flying like glass.She put down the pistol,Tried to take back the bullet.But it was t... More..

The Globe.I'm bundled under the blankets,Pillows cushioning my thoughts,On a cool evening in July.Summer should have adorned the Welsh coast by now,But it's late this year,Making the warm, cotton layers even more of a comfort,A cocoon from which to dream and plan,Encouraging thoughts of warmer lands.The miniature globe, a gif...

When finalising destinations for our round the world trip, there was no discussion or debate necessary for Hawai'i.

YesteryearRemember when life was easier,When days were filled with friendship and fun,Standing in old Mr Thomas' field,Mud on our faces, the smell of nature on our skin.The cool breeze didn't matter.As long as there was a glimpse of sunshine in the evening sky,We'd stay in that field- in that world.Summers were endless,Punctu...

I caught you looking at me last nightAnd for a second, I thought you knew.I thought you were seeing inside my mind,Seeing everything I couldn't sayBut, unexpectedly, you smiled.You didn't see it at all.When there's a silence between us,I want to fill it with the words I need to say,Words that catch in my throat-A suffocating ...
