You are one who has known darkness and pain.
You have felt the heavy burdens of grief -
grief caused by others seeking selfish gain.
You have stepped out with pride but stepped back – cried,
your tears falling unnoticed in the rain.
You are... – by Susanna Elliott-Newth | added by susannaelliott

Is freedom our rite of passage?
Is it gifted to us at birth?
Can we say, do, think, dream or love
Whatever we desire?
What does it mean to have freedom?
To speak our minds and know no shame
In disagreeing with others,
Would that be our... – by Susanna Elliott-Newth | added by susannaelliott

The wind in the trees
The buzzing of bees.
The lapping of the water,
Sitting by the lake.
All of these sounds
That creation can make.
The birds in the yard,
Looking for the worm.
It’s gaze and determination,
Are nothing less but firm.

Outside, the weather is cloudy and grey...just like her heart.
It begins to rain and she falls to her knees with an unbearable feeling of loneliness and hurt.
She looks at her reflection in the muddy creek water. All she sees is a sad woman,... – by Brandy Baldwin | added by MissBrandy222

Written In The Stars
Written in the stars is my body and soul
And I am made by Love Divine
The same love is star stuff in me

And opened my eyes to the world
I am filled with... – by Charles Edward York | added by charlesedwardyork

In the quiet chambers of my soul, Where shadows linger and memories unfold, I trace the contours of a love once whole, Now fractured, like shards of moonlight gold.
The heart, a fragile vessel, once ablaze, Ignited by the touch of your fingertips,... – by Chris E Morganroth IV | added by ChrisMorganroth

I wrote a book of poems back
In autumn of last year.
There never seemed to be a lack
Of rhymes and patterns here!
I wrote and wrote. They quickly came.
It almost seemed just like a game!
But when I tried to get the book
Out to the public... – by Steve Cochrane | added by stevec.24118

I let the olive oil seep into my desk,
wearily, one can try to absorb it
(Oil is youth they said, live forever.)
my writings, stained, creased, STICKY.
the fountain pen leaked an oily substance, inky, dark.

Fret not of the evildoers,
Jealous for their iniquity;
Envy not of the pursuers,
They have no credibility.
For they will soon fade like the grass,
And shrivel up as the green herb;
Judgment upon every trespass,
That has contradicted God’s... – by Richard Newton Sherrer | added by richardnsherrer

Keys to a better life
How great our need today to use correct judgement
To know the things that are true,
To know which things have greater importance,
To know which things we must do!
ToLove what is good;
To Hate what is bad.
To Make our... – by Oghenekeno Odhegba | added by oghenekenoodhegba

There is a voice inside of you
that whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
or wise man can decide
what's right for you - just listen to
the voice that speaks... – by Shel Silverstein | added by JokerGem
