Most Commented Poems (34,330)

I've towed the line with you heavy on my back, your days filled with empty an future in black. It's my choice to keep you alive in my wake, my future is bright while yours rests in my cloud. If I happen to stop quick in my tracks, I'm pushed off my stop by your shadow so close. They say mimick is a complimentary form, at times it's a burden in one's freedom of life. Back up a bit to open my space that's mine in my life, cause there's times that shared space is welcome to two for the right reasons in the day. I live my own life with each step that I take as I walk through my day~

It is powerful and all-pervasive,
It is inescapable and all-encompassing,
Like the mythical Hydra,
It’s always in front of you, on the path just ahead, waiting to devour the unsuspecting...,
Most, by far, fall prey to it, never knowing it could have been sooo otherwise...

Call it ‘karma’[which I personally don’t believe in], ‘luck’, ‘coincidence’, ‘meaninglessness’, ‘existentialism’, ‘Darwinism’, etc., etc., it matters not...,
Suddenly, one awakens; one realizes it’s all a daydream, a chimera of gargantuan proportions...,
The shock is huge...!!!

Now what?
Indeed, ‘to-be-or-not-to-be’, ‘what-to-be’, ‘what-to-do’, ‘what-to-have’, become the begging questions...,
And so begins a ride that no amusement park can possibly reproduce,
I sure hope you enjoy most of your ride, friend,
Bon Voyage...

I……..Am!
I……Feel you,
You….Are man,
Probing my depths,
Gliding in my wetness,
Taking my treasures, without asking,
Stealing,
I have tried to talk to you,
You……Answer,
With air bubbles, rising,
A primitive emotion!
You….Are not listening,
I could crush you,
I am immense,
I am your....Nemesis,
I…..Am Ocean!

Dangling by a seeming thin thread,
Past outcrop, looking down,
Five hundred metres down,
Sheer drop, sheer dread,
See the ledge to the left,
Bright sunlight,
Nothing’ but air to the right,
If I can just reach that cleft….
So shift my weight,
To the right, then the left,
Carabiner locked, no energy left,
In the hands of God and fate,
Rope walks on the sharp edge… begins to chafe,
This is it…Last pendulum swing,
Lose or win, swing baby swing,
As the maximum push creeps you out….
Of the safe…..

Can we ever see past the choices we don’t understand?
Past action,
Past reaction,
Past cause,
Past effect?
Don’t be afraid, come, take my hand.
Stand with me on the precipice,
On the edge of forever,
The edge of darkness,
Edge of life,
Tiny as it seems, see the light.
Have the confidence,
Take the step into the void,
Know all will be,
Exactly as it should be,
As all in the universe turns out right.
Have the courage,
To walk in darkness, in the footsteps,
Of those that have gone before,
Through the labyrinth of life,
Knocking on door after door,
Until the right one opens,
‘til all is done,
To your satisfaction,
Knowing you have truly done your best,
And, could not have done more.
Then, will come the time,
You will realize,
The final truth,
Enshrined in ghostly golden folds of shimmering light,
Not of gold itself….More precious,
The ultimate prize,
The meaning….Of your Life!

I know you’re feeling a bit “Down“,
Listen to me, don’t frown,
You think it can’t work,
It’s all too far, too much,
Too precious,
Can’t get near enough to touch,
Well, think on this for a while,
Believe in it, it will make you smile,
If in your mind,
You live in a world of “Possible”,
Nothing’s Impossible my friend,
So you will find!

i know im different then you but even i hurt too
ill take everything since i was five years old
everything iv written my poems and all
i tried to fit in where i don't belong
even though it makes me sad today
ill not right another poem ever again
even my songs will be trash all because
you hate everything i do all because
you say im different then you

Spiders is clever see,
Look at this one,
When I calls it,
It comes over ere to me,
Now watch….

I pulls four legs orf one side,
I puts it down,
An when I tells it,
It whizz's roun and roun.
....Amazin!

But no matter how much I shout,
After I pulls em all off,
It just sits there…Does nowt,

It don’t move an inch,
Not west, east, sowf or norf….
Which proves the scientific fact….
A spider goes deaf,
If ya pulls all it’s legs orf!

i remember you like a ghost in the water.
i painted you a picture my strawberry girl.
i lived every day when you loved me.
today i fell down again looking at the wall.
my only world i ever seem to know.
your soft touch on my cheek.
as the sky falls your all i see.
today i painted the sun black.
im in this through till the end.
today i sit alone thinking of you.
falling in your arms for tomorrow is new.
you will always be my only you .
today i painted you my strawberry girl.

Must I tell you
How to love me

Listen and I will
To the utmost degree

Passion so very
Deep and intense

Love me until
Nothing makes sense

Mind focused on
What we need

I am a garden
Plant your seed
