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.
...
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.
...
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;
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

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. You can read as many as you want, and also submit your own poems to share your writings with all our poets, members, and visitors.
To and fro, to and fro
In my little boat I go
Sailing far across the sea
All alone, just little me.
And the sea is big and strong
And the journey very long.
To and fro, to and fro
In my little boat I go.
Sea and sky, sea and sky,
Quietly on the deck I lie,
Having just a little rest.
I have really done my best
In an awful pirate fight,
But we cdaptured them all right.
Sea and sky, sea and sky,
Quietly on the deck I lie--
Far away, far away
From my home and from my play,
On a journey without end
Only with the sea for friend
And the fishes in the sea.
But they swim away from me
Far away, far away
From my home and from my play.
Then he cried "O Mother dear."
And he woke and sat upright,
They were in the rocking chair,
...
All actors look for them-the defining moments
When what a character does is what he is.
The script may say, He goes to the door
And exits or She goes out the door stage left.
But you see your fingers touching the doorknob,
Closing around it, turning it
As if by themselves. The latch slides
Out of the strike-plate, the door swings on its hinges,
And you're about to take that step

DEAR LIFE
There's always something on the jaded skies
That thumped the wavy spiral of my balloons
And that is death.
When we shut our lenses behind curtains
And our breath stiffened, our patches rigid
Our lips are stiff, and we can't smell or touch
That which makes us feel like a living flower.
Ah! The dark oceans cleared when my tower kissed the soil.
He was my breath, always spitting white morsels
...
In twilight's hush, where shadows dance and play,
Amidst the whispered winds, I spread my wings to sway,
A fleck of purple, born of blackest night,
I take to wintry skies, in search of sustenance's light.
...
In rain-kissed days, we danced beneath the skies,
Our footsteps guided by the rhythm of demise.
This path unwinds, a novel terrain,
Same heart, yet adrenaline's spark reignites.

Christmas In America
The best of Christmas gives us time to reflect
The blessings of God beyond compare
Who and what we love and respect.

Pas à pas. Ô Femme, l'Ange Gardien de mon cœur
Je te poursuivrais jusqu'au chemin du bonheur
Je ferais d'énormes sacrifices pour rejoindre ta route
Je t'en supplie de n'avoir absolument aucun doute

Where azure wave rocks starfish,
There hangs down someone's paw
From palm tree arched over whitish,
Sugar-like, the sandy shore.

Belief, mockery, hunger,
Laughter, trust, happiness,

Life is a poem divine,
without end—
creation unfolds endlessly,
forming, dissolving,

Someone is still telling jokes they learned from you,
Someone is still using the phrases and words you use,
Someone is still listening to the music you showed them,
Even though you might not; someone remembers that you owe them,

Step by step. O Woman, the Guardian Angel of my heart
I would follow you to the road of happiness
I would make enormous sacrifices to join your path
I implore you to have absolutely no doubt

Affection—
the quiet hymn of the heart,
unspoken, yet fluent,
weaving through the spaces between us
...
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.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
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

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!

Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

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

This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Life's flushest feather -
