Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Drug addiction: 6 of 302
Gone Again So, again you're gone from my life, gone like a thief in the night. You get to hide in numbness, I get to live with your lies. Over and over again I believe, over and over again I'm deceived. How many times can I let you in, so you can carelessly let me down? You tell me how hard it is out there, as if I didn't ha... More..

Among the Ruins I walk in fields of dreams, They are shattered and forsaken. I have felt the fluttering of hope, long enough to cultivate despair. I know what love is; such a seductive prelude to grief. Better to be content among the ruins, Sifting thru the ashes of memories; Reaching for the always unattainable is a foolish... More..

and the fog lifts Rain falls in an uneven pitter patter from a dozen or more trees, and the fog makes the world seem a blank canvas. An eerie squeak from the ropes of a hammock joins the comforting sound of the midnight waves meeting the shore. An unfamilar feeling washes over me as I fall into myself, and into the the comfo...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love: 183 of 784
What is love? Your fingers gently caress mine and then trail softly across my cheek, stealing my breath and leaving me weak. Your eyes search mine and see my soul, and for that moment, I feel whole. The first time that happened, I knew, You are the one. More..

I remember how it felt, to not want to feel... More..

Open Door Open Door The night you left, I stayed up late; packing your things equaled taking action. Resolved to be resigned to my fate, that was my initial instinctual reaction. I tidied up all your haphazard mess; needing at the moment to take action, to make the emptiness seem less. Hours don't pass but the minutes tick; ... More..

Glad Your Gone In the beginning of my life I loved you, with the blind instincts of a child. I wanted to make you proud, maybe to smile, or to laugh out loud. As the days and weeks turned into years, I came to know I didn't please you. I often shed unbidden tears, seeing only a child's point of view. On and on the years pass... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Anger: 314 of 403
Dear God Did you bring her up to you God, did you bring her to the better place? Do you let her watch my life unfold, do you let her gaze upon my face? I know you are aware of how she hurt me, she hurt my brother and my sisters too. We can never escape her painful legacy; did that earn her a spot with you? I've heard that yo... More..
