Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: You make me so happy: 1 of 6
You make me search my mind, The depths of my soul, Dig in the garden where my memories flourish. You make me pour out my heart, Share my secrets, my treasures. You make me forget all the things I've ever been told- Slip a little. You make me toy with ideas in my mind, Smile for no reason, Giggle even. I think about you all t... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Forbidden: 17 of 78
My Plight I am grieving- For me, For you; My eyes have never cradled so many tears, My heart has never been a more dismal place, Each breath and my chest twists in agony. The world has never seemed more like a cruel land, unfair. You are I in an opposite parallel sense. You breathed hope, joy, life Into my icy lungs. They wa... More..

I can't live with you But I can't live without you. I can't be with you But I can't be without you. No point in fronting, So I'll be honest with you: Now it's too hard To turn my back on you. Yet I can't return to sleepless nights, Lost peace of mind. So many questions Threaten to arise. You said you're sorry- You apologize.... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: College life: 3 of 11
College has been a nightmare to me, one that I pray to wake up from very soon. I am not saying that I haven't had good times while at college. Good people came and went. There were fun parties, events, laughs and pictures. There were fast food runs late at night after being drunk. There were life lessons to be learned that I... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My island of love: 2 of 7
Island Vibes Amorous thoughts don't live in me, But in Trinidad I could fall in love. Leaning by under azul skies, Come away with me to Trinidad And fall in love. Sensuous breezes and lulling heat, Tunes to sway away and smile, Come away with me to Trinidad And fall in love. Hard grey pavement; cold, unfriendly? No. Try beig... More..

The confusion has escalated to its peak And now we see it begin to overflow. It has evolved into other species Such as resentment, anger, tension, sorrow.

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change How serious is global warming?: 4 of 13
1. While I was growing up, the concept of adopting clean environmental practices was very familiar to me. As a child I never really understood why people needed to be instructed to be green, but now after what we have been studying in class I understand the reason. People have not taken our home, Planet Earth, seriously. Peo... More..

The Coldest Winter Ever I've never felt so cold. No warmth, even from those who are Supposed to serve as scarves, gloves, hats. I'm so cold. My heart is shivering, about to freeze over.

"Release" Cry Cry Cry My eyes, Release the pain, And my body releases the stress. Your test- Don't let me rest Until I'm done. You're the one I've chosen to do What I've needed for so long, So don't let me down. I need your strokes to be Long and slow, Strong and true. I need your hands To knead away all the tension And turn... More..

Yearning Reaching out for something I do not have, Something I need, Something that leaves me void Yearning So desperate for it that I'm willing To search through the pieces of broken Relationships and relationships locked Deep in the back of the closet. Yearning Like a crack fiend, Shaking and sweating and crazed In the rec... More..
