Most Commented Poems (34,326)

The sun slowly drifted away and shadows crept in
The air slightly cooler as the darkness deepened
Creatures scurrying to their dens while still light
Others waking up to welcome the dark night

Edge of the world trimmed in pink, purple, orange, gold and red
Like apologizing for the colorless black night ahead
The moon and planets debuting in the sky
With constellations and stars of summertime

Scary ragged black shapes silhouetted against the sky
Reaching upward with crooked branches way up high
Black bats flitting around catching tiny buzzing wings
While a large ground chorus is warming up to sing

A mist on the pond like a low cloud from the sky
Adding a mystic air to the night-time cries
Floating like a ghostly mass across the earth
Providing cover for many night-time critters to lurk

Soon several mixed voices fill the night-time air
Soothing the soul like a bedtime prayer
Open windows inviting the night sounds in
Drifting to sleep by the Lullaby on the wind

You are the sunshine
Of my smile
My love
Nothing can keep
Us apart
Heart to heart
I am yours
Words may vanish
In the haze
But my my love
For you is carved
In the golden streets
Of heaven
Cafe

My dearest love
When I'm in your arms
My hearts at home
When I look into your eyes
My heart melts
When were hand and hand
It's only you and me
You're a man who can bring me to my knees
I haven't felt a love like yours
I feel so safe
No other man could take your place
My sweetest skip
Know your in my blood
Your in my soul
Let this love story continue to unfold
All my love
Xx

Confetti bubbles in a heart
while bullets surf a brain
Unspoken deeds rewritten
to hide an act of shame
To Strive and Thrive
within a page of life and love and honor
when trust is sold as promised land
to devil... from a Mother.
When one can see beyond the stench
of death in loves design,
a dying wish...from graveyard shift
will capture greedy minds!
So Shhhh don't tell...
of broken spell
When book of life is driven
A bodies work in all its acts
Is wealth in time and vision
Calmly waiting for the day
Of fate in wheels of mission

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost innocent souls
Killed in a wave of violence

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost souls who
Believe in a Pro-violence Alliance

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost souls who are unable
To stop the violence with compliance

Hear the Angels weeping
For the innocence lost to all
The children of the world

Hear the Angels weeping
For those who gave their lives
To protect the boys and girls

Hear the Angels weeping
For those who have turned their backs
To the light preferring the dark underworld

Hear the Angels weeping
As they pray for the lost souls
To turn from darkness to light unfurled

I had my dog
It saved me from darkness
It gave me quietness
When all was lost
When the stars
Disappeared
And the earth turned
Into a ridiculous globe
And God seemed to leave
The heavens
My dog came to me
And whilst crying
With my face buried deep
Within her fur
I suddenly felt better
The stars came
Back to the sky
And all the questions
Were gone
From my head
She looked into my eyes
And saved me
From my eternal battle.
I had a dog
Her forever name
Was Dera

Behind the black curtain
She sits in a chair
Waiting for her name to be called
As she sits and waits
night time falls
the halls have been cleared
the walls all bare
How long has it been
Since somebody has been here

Her once beautiful black hair
Has turned a shade of gray
Her bright smile
Has no life to it
Her brown eyes
Have lost there spark
How long as she been sitting in the dark

The black curtain
All weathered and worn
This lady her heart so torn
how long has she sat here and mourned

She sings songs of a life that’s now gone
She dances in her head
She pretends she’s in his arms
Her heart pounding to the sounds
The music makes her sway
what she would give
If only she could have him for a day

The light peeps through the curtains
She closes her eyes
She can’t look at the sunlight
She sits behind the dark curtain
Waiting for her name to be called
She falls to her knees
She begs please
Take me to you
Let this be my last call

What awaits on the other side
After death takes one's breath away
Billions have taken that last ride
Yet what awaits no one can say

A belief is just a belief
It may provide some with solace
And give a measure of relief
But it's not a proof in this case

All persons will know the answer
When death comes knocking on their door
That's all that can be said thus far
And how it may be evermore


(iambic tetrameter)

you hung up the phone
tears streamed down your face
You relayed the news
I already knew
The cancer had spread
Not much to be said
The cold rain
It falls like tears down on my heart
In private I cry until the tears run dry
My big brother-you will always be
You ask who will be there for you
I will
Who will hold your hand
I will
Who will help you
I will
Nothing will ever change the love I have for you
I stand with you
I stand by you
I stand beside you
I feel your pain
as if it were my own

I have done my share of falling down
I have battled through the rough,
found the strength within
through belief in the path I took.

I have felt the kiss of betrayal
I have turned the other cheek,
only to have the other side kissed
with lies and deceit.

I have laid bare and naked
garments removed against will,
but still I stood with head held up
I have no shame in mans sin.

I have worn the crown of mockery
being whipped by some for who I am,
watched whilst others defied me
oh the shame of cowardly man.

As I sit here upon my mountain
do to me now your very worst,
and forgive for i do know what I do
when I lift my eyes and you I curse.

Still, I lay myself in your mercy,
with outstretched arms as if but instead I cry,
be it as angel or as person
let thy will be done..let me fly.
