Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Losing faith: 1 of 31
I look into the eyes of days gone by, There is little there but pain; No substance of hope although I try, Sunshine drowned by the rain. Clinging to words, phrases from the past, Vanity, all vanity, is all hope lost; As a withered soul, an eternal heart fast, Loss of faith leads to ultimate cost. Faith waning, ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A good man: 1 of 27
A man is born, he dreams a dream,A home, some kids, a wife;All that man could want or need,A simple, country life.Time goes by, you pay your dues,Live by the rule of gold;Each one walks in his own shoes,A simple, country road.You loved your wife, the kids are grown,All dues have now been paid;You lived your dreams, now you're...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life is . . .: 5 of 134
Sometimes I wonder just what would be,If I'd gone left instead of right;Or would there be four instead of three,If I hadn't worked late that night?Why does one poor soul live in the street,While others count their riches;Why many live lives that are so sweet,And others toil in the ditches?Is it just fate, or one's destiny,Tha...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Me & you: 2 of 50
Amongst the view of shattered lives,Of friends and families split in two;Between angry husbands and lying wives,I have the very best in you.You are the sunlight in my morning,The soothing breeze in my day,The brilliant diamond in my crown adorning,You are the answer to what I pray.Without your love to warm my heart,It would h...

Thoughts of YouIf I only had a single rose,Each time I thought of you;Our garden would twine,To the end of time,So beautiful would be the view.If I only had a single note,Each time I thought of you;Our song would last,"Til all things passed,And the old became the new.if I only had a single rhyme,Each time I thought of you;Thi...

Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Christian: 7 of 140
I try to run away, but I can't breathe. I try to hide, but you find me. So Lord, I apologize for wearing that disguise in front of you. You saw right through. And Lord I apologize for all the lies that I said. Amen, Hallelujah. Amen, Hallelujah. When I hide, you find me. When I run, you catch me, O Lord. So... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sunsets: 4 of 80
The horizon awash with prisms of color, An orgasm of brilliant hues; Reds and blues give way to the other, The azure sky loses its shining muse. Like two lovers joining in a passionate kiss, Holding hands walking in the park; The day's sun surrenders, yet before the bliss, Ethereal fireworks shower the dark. Firefli... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Don't let the moment pass: 1 of 18
I see her perched upon the threshold A baby bird about to leave the nest Into a world so harsh and cold Each day filled with a new life test My mind rewinds to blinkies and diapers Bedtime stories and toothless grins Animated dinosaurs, lions and tigers Childhood games that she'd cheat to win I remember all her wins a...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dawn: 6 of 61
The birth of light from dark of night, Dawn breaks forth from its shadowed tomb; Hope abounding and all is right, Love renews as a rose in bloom. The rising phoenix of dawning sun, Fleeting moments of fireworks from the gray; Lives divided now are one, Awaken to laugh and love in light of day. Each day brings this eup... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Problems with the world today: 9 of 77
Quite simply, the problems with the world today are you and me. We are our own worst enemy. Selfish beings created by a loving God that can no more live in peace together than imps can sell lemonade and popsicles in hell. It is just not in us. It is our nature to always put ourselves first and make gestures of kindness only t... More..
