What darkness can lurk behind a gentle smile

There's a sadness, Deep and vast, When I open up the past, Dark stormy memories flash, Briefly driving shadows back, Illuminating forgotten facts, Till I slowly close the hatch, And leave them in the inky black...

Walking in London along the Thames River
you see what you want to see, never look past to just me. In a world of half truths you judge but have no proof. here I stand with no shame a powered girl who wants no fame. The lonely path of a broken world, head held high but a shattered g

Would the world still move forward without me, my absence unnoticed? Am I cruel to dream of a world that ends when I do?
fighting the world and all its glory. wishing for the living to tell a true story. hoping for the dead to live once again. living for the dying is nothing but a sin. what is the reason for them all to live? are they able to vouch in what they wa
Madness slowly gathers me In its chilly embrace I watch from the corner of my eye Its sinister smirk Then I fall and fall into the depths Of its empty cold dead soul Contently I lay there Huddled in the corner Of its darkest walls Anticipa
I came across "looknshare's poem titled Bottom-line" and somehow inspired me to put these lines together... an acknowledgement... I realize sometimes it pays to listen or at least acknowledge love one's efforts to reach out before it's too late...

While the nation mourns for dead police officers who mourns for us? Could these senseless tragedies have been avoided?
In the earlier sonnets, the poet's main concern was to persuade the youth to marry and reproduce his beauty in the creation of a child. That purpose changes here in Sonnet 17, in which the poet fears that his praise will be remembered merely as a "poet's rage" that falsely gave the youth more beauty than the youth actually possessed, thus expressing an insecurity about his poetic creations that began in the preceding sonnet. This disparaging tone concerning the sonnets is most evident in line 3, in which the poet characterizes his poetry as a "tomb." Such death imagery is appropriate given the frequent incorporation of time, death, and decay images throughout the first seventeen sonnets. Ironically, the poet, who has been so concerned about the young man's leaving behind a legacy at death to remind others of his priceless beauty, is now worried about his own future reputation. Will his poems be ridiculed by readers who disbelieve the poet's laudatory praise of the young man's beauty? Not, says the poet, if the youth has a child by which people can then compare the poet's descriptions of the youth's beauty to the beauty of the youth's child — now asking the youth to have a child in order to confirm the poet's worthiness. The sonnet's concluding couplet links s*xual procreation and versification as parallel activities: "But were some child of yours alive that time, / You should live twice — in it and in my rime." The poet's task is an endless struggle against time, whose destructive purpose can only be frustrated by the creation of fresh beauty or art, which holds life suspended.

Torment In shallow waters, fighting to catch my breath, drowning in pain and sorrow, reaching for the surface that's out of grasp. Shadows are all that remain, in the darkness of all this pain, I can't perceive the dream, and it mak

Into the silvery moon beans stepped a damsel most comely, hair spun like gold shiny dagger at her waist kept clasped towards her victims she was so ice-cold She enticed them into her dark world there to seduce and send them insane captivated
