Most Commented Prose Poems (416)

Time just makes me older
Never bolder,
Infrequently wiser...
Maybe a miser
with my love.

I refuse to think sensibly
it's me
a facet on a coarsely cut stone
so atone
but feel more at home? but how?

I can only be poetic
it's pathetic
I'm defeated.
My value's badly meted,
I'm defeated

Singing Beach. A haven from the streets of life,
The sound of shell bells, from the cities of
The Sea echo through the salty air, yet heard
Above the splashing of the ocean as it kissed the shoreline
And splashed against the rocks.
Each morn the Porpoise, with slippery limbs and silver form
Would arch above the rolling waves, a bow without
The piercing arrow, then descend to depths unknown,
Screeching, once again in play before heading to the shore.
My simple bow in greeting never could compare to his
Trick of paddling tail, suspending him in air.
His wavering click of screech was his personal form of speech, Yet
I understood and talk of life ensued,
His graceful leap so high and a
Special kinship grew between this fish and I.
one morning, on the sand, beneath suspecting clouds,
I saw the fish afloat.
Weekened by some inner wond
He circled round and round,
His playful screech muffled,
An unfamiliar sound. I waded in the water to comfort, feel and touch
But the fish kept his distance, insisting "nothing much." then
With mustered strength
All for my delight, the fish attempted flight.
He cut into an easy roll,
pure pain to flap his tai and my tears for one so young
Gave way to silent wail.
In the baron wasteland of my heart
A silent chant echo's.

Standing at the top of a waterfall,
I swan-dive off the edge
with no fear of death.
So long as you hold my heart,
I need not fear a thing,
for I will never truly die.

Romance Games

What's in a romance game
A fictitious name
The winding path to fame
Like a moth drawn to flame

Should you refrain
From any obvious gain
Or just remain
In the frame

Why do you lie and exclaim
Words meant to mislead and maim
While proclaiming your good name
Cut and paste lies the same

Only meant for monetary gain
The rewards you feign
That only causes pain
Don't worry about the drain
You cause on the brain
You're so vain
Living a life so plain

Tethered to a chain
Untold and unexplained
No chance to complain
Moving faster than a train

Let me explain
You're only in pain
Utterly alone and inane
living your life in shame
A game player you became
Just change your name

Deceit was your aim
Destruction your claim
Only yourself to blame
Due to you being so lame

Burn hot in Hades flame
Only there will your name
Have any fame or acclaim

There's something in the Stars
It doesn't have to be so far
To capture the sparkle of a ball burning bright
It's not hard to wonder at an ever glowing light

There's something in the Stars you see
Ponder a Star and you will agree
Just look up at them and see what I mean
Magic in the glimmer and the sheen

Cast your love inside the Stars tonight
I told you there was something there all right
Maybe it's the love or the magic that's in you
We all have a universe of Stars inside us too

Each and every Star holds something really special
Something awesome that takes you to a new level
Beautiful and wonderful, so awesome to revel
Basking in the transcendent light
Believe in love on a Starry night

Now dazzle at a Star if nothing seems to faze you
Knowing that a single Star has the ability to amaze you

Hello beautiful
How are you doing today?
I hope real good
Better now that I came your way

I really want to know you better
You look so gorgeous in that sweater
Just contact me at my private email
It’s mindf*ck@loveyou.com
From there I will hail
How great I am

I am just not here very often
Go ahead and email me
No need for caution
I’ll answer with glee

I don’t care if you’re brunette or blond
My goal is to only to abscond
With your heart, soul and money
Come on beautiful sweetheart honey
Waiting to hear back from you
For now, I bid you adieu

Yep, my job here is done
I’ve only sent out a ton
Of private request emails
Because not all of them fails

Find serenity and tranquility in a world we may not always understand....
May the pain we have known ,and the conflict we have experienced ,give us the strength to walk through life, facing each new situation with courage and optimism...
Just look around us...

Always know that those who loves and understand us will always be there for us ...

Love is here even when we feel most alone...
Discover enough goodness in others to believe peace is inside out..
A kind word... a reassuring touch ...
A warm smile will be ours everyday of our lives...
Give these gifts to others as well as receive them...

Always remember the Sunshine, when the thunder storm seems unending...
Teach true love to those who know hate...
Let love embrace us as we go into the world...

Integrate the balanced teachings of those we admire ,so that we will call upon them for solace...
Remember those whose lives we have touched ...
Remember those who have touched us ....
They are always apart of us even when the encounters were less, than what we have wished them to be....

Its the content of the encounter that is more important than its form...
Everything happens for a reason...
All People are lessons , coming into and out of our lives..
All happens for a reason, season, or lifetime....
All are lessons for our growth on our journey of life...

Don't become too fixated with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in our own hearts...
Find moments to see the beauty and love in the world around us...

Realize that each person has limitless abilities ,but each of us are different in our own unique way...
What we may feel we lack in one regard will be more than
compensated for in another....

What we feel we lack in the present , will become one of our
strengths in the future....
Live in the present, this is our gift....

The present is the "Now" moment to creating our future...
Be balanced,well, happy ,and proactive ...our future will be filled with infinite possibilities ....
Learn to view everything as a worth while experience, because we grow from all of them...


In our inner standing love,we will surely find enough inner strength to determine ,our own self worth-by ourselves...
We will not be dependent on anothers' judgment of our accomplishments...

Love is who we truly are... Feel love's flow, and know we will always feel loved!

Poetry reading first thing in the morning
Goes perfectly with a nice hot cup of coffee
Nothing is more beautiful than this dark elixir
Mated with a little sugar and light cream mixer
As it swirls in your cup and revs up your cells
You begin to contemplate as if under a spell
From that bitter little bean that reins so supreme
This umber dark brew is a drug-induced dream

Reading words brought to life by your poet friends
Taking you on life’s tours like video camera lens
Imprinting indelible pictures delivered by their pens
As you read and sip savoring the words they spin
Of visions their painting from thoughts deep within

Ah, coffee, some call it cafe’, still some say Cuppa
I just call it sweetly every morning “come to mamma”
Now I’m thinking about how many poets the world over
Are sipping their brew and writing their little hearts out
Percolating on those dark alluring coffee beans no doubt
Climbing to such creative heights with deep soulful minds
Coffee and poetry are synchronistically aligned

Time for another wee cup, as some call it a “cup of Joe”
My secret blow of magical beans that sets my mind aglow
Allowing me to experience the depths my thoughts show
Of the pageantry that poetry delivers like a sinful gateau
The only thing missing in this picture is my fabulous beau
If my coffee would only help me write him into existence
How awesome, yes, the ultimate pièce de résistance

The softness of your touch slowly slips away
Another lifetime lives clothed in a secret array
Strewn with silver threads of fading memories
Time frozen in a distant sculptured frieze

Remembering the laughter of children's play
Smiling while peeking through the doorway
Time seemed endless in that golden moment
Full of warmth and peaceful contentment

As our minds remember we try to recapture
Our life lost in emotion and wounded fracture
Those days we spent immersed in this or that
Never looking forward and never looking back

Nothing more than an earthly creature
Waiting for the light and distant rapture
Living in circles of unidentifiable stories
Accepting the fate of other worldly glories

Our journeys consist of many ups and downs
Where joys, laughter, tears and loss abounds
Days go by in never ending turns and twists
Suspended in memories where peace exists

The first light of a new day
Near in the middle of June
Even the mating birds song
Is muffled in a softer tune

Bright promise of summer day
Still hidden away will stay
Cloudy skies laden with grey
Misty fog out over the bay

Wind is calm and a little chill
Even the distant church bell
Muted by a heavy air so still
Rings the entire town in a spell

The long drought is finally over
The dust is washed from the earth
Looking out over fields of clover
Softly falls the rain giving birth
