Most Commented Free Verse Poems (29,539)

This world is full of delusions and our imaginations are trapped inside
Within this sphere some give into fear never mind the world outside
Excuses are made by common sense as maturity begins leaking from our mouth
But still we attempt to negotiate if there is a north there is a south
Some are in search of science while others believe religion is just a myth
I believe religion gives birth to hypocrites and science is a gift
So many claim to have everything and yet they always seem to want more
It's a thirsts that is never satisfied, but no other shapes fit in the hole
Sometimes in life we try to place the wrong pieces inside of the right times
Giving a name to complications authorizing entanglements design
And if on the day I feel incomplete when my flesh wants to let go
Will I truly escape with peace and life or die forever within my hell bent soul
And as I lay inside the womb of eternal sleep am I just food for the worms
Or does the earth absorb my body and my energy becomes one with the universe
One thing that I'm certain of is that the world will always turn
And if there is a Heaven and Hell one day we all will learn

A hidden treasure
shiny and gold
underneath my pillow
almost a perfect circle
once hanging
from a lovely earlobe
on the gypsy lover
that came and went with the moon.

The wind has brought me
her name this morning
I recall the blue and gold scarf
that draped her shoulders
apple-blossom cheeks
bright red lips slightly apart
affection waiting to love
my gypsy lover with golden earring..

This symbol of such beauty
when the light bathed them
they had a sort of twinkle
elegance and grace
adding to her loveliness
mimicking in a strange way
this piece of her left behind

Perhaps she will return to retrieve it
my heart awaits!

Oh sweet love
when you entered
my life
one beautiful dove
a revelation
bringing peace

The soul began singing
happiness flowing golden
whispering inside delight
a gentle softness
like an angel
gracing feelings
striking deep emotions

As the moon smiles
tying loves string
to both ends
pulling back
with an arrow
shooting it
from this space
spiraling deeply
into the heart

As you walk
into the garden
of my life
coming out from
a dream
step into
these arms
to i kiss you
sweet love

You darling
beautiful sweetheart
mean the world
from a deep ocean
sailing upon
the deepest waters
maiden of my sea

You're a goddess
dazzling lights up
inner vision
one star
even in the night
the moon winks

Adorable love
your beautiful
far beyond
by far
beyond anything
love magical
is you

walking my dog
looking across
and over mountains
a breath taking view
i began patting
my dogs head
one sadness
overwhelming tears
feeling so lonely
loosing my
best friend
just gave the dog
a great big hug

sweet sadness
carried on a fresh breeze
feeling the yawning
in the silence of grief
sweeping inside
holding out the key
standing thinking
of one beautiful rose
blushing angels
sparkling thoughts

sharing spring time
sheep lambing
listening to the bleats
of the baby lambs
my eyes they spot
a bunch of primroses
plucking one
gently putting
it to my nose

pictures flashed
in this mind
i began smiling
looking at such love
a dream in the soft
gentle fragrance
scenting such beauty
floating spring breeze

tear drops fall
smiling deeply
i never stop loving
until the end
i deserve to be happy
listening to birds
softly singing a sweet song
blowing in
a mountain breeze

tasting spring
floating upon air
oh how i await
that gentle dream beauty
who softy sweeps
over this ocean
on wings
of an angel

Seasons of anguish in rhythmic rotation...
Meticulously taking their time...
Summers of sadness...
Winters of madness...
Thoroughly mine...

Like the inner-workings of a complex clock...
Gears of misery, memory blocked...
Autumn emotions...
Springtime erosions...
Raindrops of pain refusing to stop....

One reminds me of
my wonderful mother,
Depictions of sisters
Renditions of brothers,
Found and lost lovers,
Friends and teachers,
Various gods and
mythological creatures,
My thoughts and beliefs
on our worlds origins
and religions,
Plainly displayed while
most keep them hidden,
A representation of my
martial arts skill,
Some don't understand
and maybe they never will,
A few things that shaped
my developing mind,
Comic heroes with whom
I identify,
The devil is there to remind
me "Be good",
For he would ensnare us
all if he could,
A tribal band is a high school friend,
And cartoons make me a kid again,
My pride in my country,
The stars and stripes wave,
An AR15 proudly displayed,
I'm asked all the time
"What's this?"
"What's that?",
It would take me more
than a minute to explain
all my tatts,
Unsolved mysteries,
Beautiful things,
Some about life and
others are dreams,
This is what my tattoos mean.

Beautiful muse
it is cold tonight
the winds of change
has returned your kiss to my lips.

We lie under
the same sky once again
as the hard grass of winter
pinches into our backs.

Behold outside
our eyes see a waxing moon
showering us in blessed taint of darkness
with milky taunts of all creation.

You have ridden
to me upon the wind this night
uncertain of wrong or right
I lay back and dream of dragons.

A shooting star
my wish has come true
I celebrate the words that are her
my most beautiful muse...

Hey doll,
You want to go for a ride?,
Let's get together,
Leave this whole world behind,
Baby,
Want to have a good time?,
No strings,
Just put your hand in mine,
Hey darling,
Let me show you the life,
The kind you thought
that you'd never find,
Baby,
let's go for a drive,
Get in and let the
engine unwind,
Sugar,
let's go for a ride,
Turn the music to
whatever you like,
Hun want to go for a ride?,
You and me just feels so right,
Maybe you want to go for a ride?
Baby let's go for a drive...

There is a little dark girl I adore
just down Mexico way
who loves my poetry written of her
and to hear the Mariachi play...

She smells of golden apples
with scent of perfumed flowers
Senorita Jocelyn you are as
agua falling in April showers...

She smiles with childhood innocence
my heart burns with a dark fire
Senorita, tell the Mariachi how to play
whatever your heart so does desire...

Then the Spanish music flowed like honey
the horns, the trumpets began with a roar
they played, we danced until coming dawn
our feet moving and boots resounding on the floor...

Senorita, my little dark and lovely princesa
the dawn is coming you see
let us run away to the sunlit corona
sealed with many besos and our destiny...

Mi cielo, live with me and be my lover
upon our bed I lay a single rose
with ring of gold and cap of flowers
and a promise in these words I do propose...

Let the Mariachi play...

my hand is out for a dream
holding someone special
to walk in life
you at my side,
a friend for life
to be forever happy
a dream the perfect woman
lifes mystery
you are out there
if my dream comes true
holding out for a miracle
looking for you
loves finest hour
still a stranger to me
