Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Shadow of myself: 2 of 18
In the shadow of myself, I am hollow; I am shallow. In my world nothing is hallowed. To you I am some Wispy unwanted thing. You ignore me Until I confront you, You explore me When you want to But you never do implore me To be more than just A momentary fling. More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love unrequited: 61 of 399
Love Not Meant to Be An exercise in futility, Pretending you mean nothing to me. My heart is caught up in a rhyme That belonged to me when you were mine. You were my poetry, Echoing beauty in all I could see. You touched off dreams in me, Entangled gently, love not meant to be. I know you think that I'll survive your leaving... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Regret: 49 of 300
I hate the rain I hate it all. Cold and I'm wet And I'm sorry That I didn't call. Still coming down Nowhere to fall Cold and I'm wet And I'm sorry That I didn't crawl Back to your door step When you offered your help. You said all is forgiven But I wouldn't listen. Didn't know you wouldn't be there When I decided to give a c... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Procrastination: 4 of 24
Locked inside failure. Frustration my jailor. Too much noise And distraction. Incessant inaction. Frozen by fear; Displaced by despair. Eternal damnation Called procrastination.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Grief: 21 of 121
Grief twists inside me, Blown by your breeze As you rush by me- A grief so sharp It splinters words As they are forming Before they can be written Before they can be spoken. And I am smitten- Broken- And I can't be repaired. There is nowhere To lay the blame. You don't care And I cannot remain Outside the curve Of your heart... More..

Another Song When silence speaks louder than words And I cannot pick up the phone, I pick up my pen And I write you another song. When questions bring no answers And everything I do is wrong, I reach out for you In the words of another song. Another song without a sound, Another way to get around To saying what can't be spok...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Alone: 53 of 276
I am afraid of being known, Preferring to live my life alone. Who cares about my secrets? Who'd understand this screaming, Open mouth of silence? Whispers too revealing. I don't talk Cause I got nothing left to say Shut down emotions Cause words get in the way. I don't feel Cause feelings grow too deep. Can't chance a breakd... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Neglect: 6 of 26
You wear neglect Like a negligee, Projecting all Your faults and fancies Under sheer lace Covering breasts that Swell and sway, Never nurturing Another human. More..

Nate in a Limerick There once was a student named Nate Who went to the beach on spring break. He arrived in a limo, Blew his wad on a bimbo And shipped himself home in a crate. Imagine that young student, Nate, Listening through the slats of the crate To his landlady Refusing C.O.D. For his freedom he will just have to wait. More..
