Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Writing a poem is not about bringing some words together to create some charming sentences. It's so much deeper than that. Writing poetry is a bridge that allows people to express their feelings and make others live every single word they read. Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Writing poetry is to help this community better understand life and live it more passionately. PoemHunter.com contains an enormous number of famous poems from all over the world, by both classical and modern poets.

Innocent heart, what has happened to you?
Alas, what is the cure to this pain?
We are interested, and they are displeased,
Oh Lord, what is this affair?
I too possess a tongue-
just ask me what I want to say.
Though there is none present without you,
then oh God, what is this noise about?
I expected faith from those
who do not even know what faith is.

Australia, my native land,
A stirring whisper in your ear—
'Tis time for you to understand
Your rating now is A1, dear.
You've done some rousing things of late.
That lift you from the simple state
In which you chose to vegetate.
The persons so superior,
Whose patronage no more endures,
...
With someone whose heart is always full of deceit,
Tell me how can I cope?
Smile on my face, love, actually, a deception that comes from the heart,
I have distributed love in one life,
Still, I hear, it was left forever!
What this heart thinks, in meditation and knowledge,
In reality, it can be seen differently,
No matter how much I want to build love
In the world, still it is repeatedly broken.
The love that people find in other people
...
I picked a piece of tinted glass to make my room,
I jointed it gently with the buttons I had already held,
I practiced sewing only for that good,
I bought a red string, for only what it meant.
...
It's past the time I told you I'd be ready for a call,
But I will give myself five minutes.
Five more minutes to be sad and linger on all the things I'm doing wrong.
Four remaining are not enough to cry,
...
If you love me once, I will love you double.
So if I hit my hands don't ask, for they are trying to reach out,
And If I end up bruised and cut I'm trying then to shut my mouth;
Don't want you to see my scattered words,
...
A cricket plays its tune
And my heart shrinks in surrender.
There's so much love, and so much life
That it beats so I can breathe through.
...
I want to start all over, finish to lose, then disappear.
Erase all that I was and how that made people feel.
Be quiet and mourn, for the me that I've lost,
And if it grants me some peace it's worth the cost.
...
Im waiting on my tiptoes for you to appear before me,
For you to tear my ankles and make me fall down to your feet.
My skin and bones are the only things,
That will offer some resistance,
...
I am god.
I am everywhere and I can't deny I.
Every thing I've thought, I has listened.
Every thing I've been, I has known.
...
My hands sting,
My legs still tremble,
There's nothing here
for me to cling.
...
I'm tired of pride and low-valued dignity,
Of walking away, lonely, crying, all mighty.
I'll take off my boots,
So I don't run away.
...
I lend you my pinkie
And now I can feel your pulse,
A whole world wrapped around my finger
I fill with love and your hand's the source.
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

(This is a composition in Pilipino Language the first one I did, the only one, and hope some of the Filipinos will get this funny poem in this site. The poem is updated with English translation)
Noong taong otsenta dekada

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante
...
you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen
...
On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:
...
If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:
...
A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.
...
Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
