Most Commented Poems (34,318)

How I would sacrifice all to see you once more
But it seems to me you have found my flaw
For I am a man that fell on he’s own sword
It was no request; it came to me untoward

It was no self-sacrifice, no dismal pathetic plea
But once again it brought me down too one knee
Could I deem to contemplate the searing pain?
Of a heart that bled pure sadness once more again

I would hone my blade to keep it thus keen
If perchance with my eye you might be seen
Why not linger? Why do you require your flight?
Would my swords sharpness quell you of this right?

For you it would therefore rust in its sheath
For an aging Lion has no need of angers teeth
Even he would swallow he’s pride and deign
For an empty throne is nowhere proud to reign

I continue to seek what cannot, by me, be found
My heart will not let my mind thus confound
Time to me can seem so blindingly cruel
If it will not see that I have played the fool

The passing of moments are just an empty space
Where amour has left leaving nought of a trace
Then I would plead for passion to change my lot
But I dwell in a lonely place that love hath forgot

Behold, for I had gazed on real true beauty
I had seen it with the dawn of inner sight
My minds soaring wingless flight
So deep, yet shone in the darkest of night

I look far beyond the protective thin layer
That captures many, like Satan’s slayer
Its depth cannot hide, like Icebergs flow
Not cold, like winters iced frozen snow

It radiated out every pore of ones being
All knowing and forever all seeing
It shines so brightly in compassioned eyes
Not concealed in false clothing wearing the Devils disguise

It has no need of self perceived vanity
It does not sap you, nor bleed your sanity
No cloak of deceit for it to wear
It lays its soul out to you, open, bare

If you do not see then surely you are blind
Your life spent in torment of the shallow kind
Seek far beneath that ageing outer shell
Your heart will not lie, it can always tell

A part of me is always a part of you
But I have no ability to begin anew
I have bled my heart beyond repair
We have taken your body and left despair

The rolling thunder plagues my soul
Is it mad desire to bequeath a dust bowl?
I breathe within you and see with knowing eyes
What we have taken comes in false disguise

For we would breathe as seeming one
Forever taking, you would strive to render undone
I would gather your richness within my hand
That slipped through fingers as grains of sand

Your winds of defiance to us tried to speak
We took your beauty and made it ever bleak
As oceans stagnate and green forests fall
It is no passing phase as a nighttimes squall

The arctic winds no longer breathe an icy chill
Mankind will eventually swallow a bitter pill
Within our nature to do too little to late
We tear out your heart and serve it on our plate

You give us life; we bring you your death
Let us both enjoy our last single breath
Like I, a heart laid open emotionally bare
The world had bled, with thoughtless care

IN PASSING HERE ONE AUTUMN DAY,
YOUR HEADSTONE CAUGHT MY EYE,
A LITTLE GIRL OF 3 YEARS OLD,
METHINKS TOO YOUNG TO DIE.

A PATCH OF CLOVER, FOR YOUR LEGS,
SMALL THISTLES, ADORN YOUR BROW,
AND TANGLED WEEDS, FOR YOUR FINE HAIR,
YOUR ARMS, ARE BRAMBLES NOW.

THE SWIRLING WIND, ABOUT MY HEAD,
DRIED LEAVES, ARE DANCING NOW,
AS IF IN VAIN, TO MAKE YOU SMILE,
BY JINGLING, ROUND, AND ROUND.

HOW SAD FOR YOU, MY LITTLE ONE,
TO LEAVE IT ALL SO SOON,
DID YOU BRING DOLLS, IN INNONCENCE,
TO PLAY WITH IN YOUR TOMB.

YOUR BROKEN HEARTED PARENTS,
TO LOSE YOU, ALL TO SOON,
AND LAY YOU DOWN IN HEARTFELT GRIEF,
IN ANCIENT INISLOON.

BUT I WILL STOP BY HERE AGAIN,
WHEN I AM PASSING SOON,
AND PRAY FOR YOU,THE LITTLE ONE,
IN ANCIENT INISLOON, MY LOVE, IN ANCIENT INISLOON.

Well, that's it then!
The end of my day,
Got some ideas for tomorrow,
But, that's a whole sleep away.
I'm sleepy and tired,
All poeted out with not much more to say.
So thank you one and all,
I hope I have pleased some of you,
Be you, handsome, sweet and short,
Or beautiful and tall.
Whether you're here or there, doesn't matter
Because all around the globe, in poetry, we natter,
So May your God go with you,
And bless you one and all!

Diamond blue
The color of your eyes
Love to watch them as they dance around
Hands soft warm and loving
Touches my heart
When I cup your face in my hands
Fills my soul
I can feel the love we share
Making me whole
When I look at your picture
I know our love is real
I give my heart to you
Handle it with tender love and care
Love and protect it .

The depth of her emotions - like a sea; -
Are something that few men can understand;-
Like Einstein with his relativity;
Where in this world we're but a grain of sand;-
Sometimes a spark in lady's eye I see;
(Then I feel humble, for I am just a man);-
The female, and the sacred, and the goddess;-
Where compassion soaks like tears down a dress.

It's women who gave birth to all our life;-
The reflection of her soul is in her eyes;
A gentle spirit in this world of strife;-
She rocks her baby softly lullabies;
And then maybe, she'll make a goodly wife;-
She wants understanding, when those tears she cries;
You must love her most - even when shes old;-
That's her comfort in a world so cold.

I say to all the ladies: we are but men;-
We have our weakness and our imperfections;
Forgive us when we stray, (just now and then);-
To seek solace in another girl's affections;
I'll try to be a better man - and when;-
I find love - it will be my resurrection.;
I'm not saying that, in beauty, you are blameless;-
Though with your gentle hearts, you do ashame us.

Lost and trying to find my way
In a daze not knowing what day
Nothing making sense anymore
Desperately seeking the right door

But every place I turn is the wrong way
Not trusting and not easily persuade
Not knowing what evil awaits ahead
Must use my heart instead of my head

Hunger and thirst a constant companion
Life stretching out before me like a deep canyon
Then suddenly I knew and picked the right door
For behind I knew I would find my Lord

Not lost - my thirst quenched and hunger fed
No longer lost but using my heart - not my head

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to such a sweet caring lovely lady,, may all you dreams and wishes come true ! The corner is a happier place because your in it !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Much love to you!

I love you

would there be a better way to live
than to love and be loved?

I love you

no pressure, just feeling free
no demands, no boundary

I love you

you give me your heart
your failures, success, trust

I love you

you can go anytime you want
but I know, you will stay

because, you love me, too
and this is our way

together

our connection, unrestrained
wrapped secured in your strong arms

you and I feel ourselves entwined
so at peace, yet so unbound

we love each other, with respect
trust we both share

I hope, to last forever.

I love you.
