About me - Melissa Brown

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Loneliness: 6 of 108
Side by side with the harvest moon I would trudge; my only companion the still and cool night. My footsteps had memorized each inch of the back five acreage; my soul was ready to burst. Finally; exhausted and parched, I reached the sacred ground where there was nobody to witness the horrifying display. Dropping to my knees, ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My only love: 1 of 14
True love does not have all the answers But it always understands Fighting its way through endless trials With strong and sturdy hands True love knows no reality Relying only on hopes and dreams Daring to reach the farthest star Love can conquer misery Bringing hope into the soul Taking shattered pieces that remain Making on...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Heartache: 10 of 131
Aces and eights, baby; all that I own With this dead man's hand I stumble alone Face down in the water before I began Each new day bringing one more last stand Nothing to lose; drawing closer to death Gaze deep in your eyes with each strained final breath You will see within mine a soul finally revealed Each emotion; each se...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Broken heart: 25 of 249

Once upon a yesterday I walked this road with you Hand in hand we strolled along Knowing only that which was true In another time; another place; bonds of love grew strong In a world that felt no need to judge To that which we both belonged?

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nature's way: 34 of 130
All though the sun shines through the day I can hear the winter's call And within the muggy August heat I can feel the early fall The chill that creeps across the skin That freezes right to the bone The fine hair stands upon your neck As gaze into eyes of stone The reflection there is cold and pale As the love light turns aw...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Seasons of the soul: 2 of 7
Once in a while upon these sun parched plains The leaves change from the standard green; to all colors of the sunset The scorching heat that begs relief subsides And the sweet scent of autumn hangs blissfully upon the air Once in a while comes the perfect of summer eves As the light glistens gracefully upon the sparkling wat...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A love like ours: 3 of 10
Of rebels and rock stars my eyes do behold Scorching my memories; searing my soul Within this blind prison my fate will be sealed Beyond this horizon my scars become healed Through this love harm is healed from the harsh yesterday The rains come which shall wash my fresh wounds away From those hearts never tamed; laws remain...
