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.
...
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;
...
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.
...
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.
Awed by her splendor
stars near the lovely
moon cover their own
bright faces
when she
is roundest and lights
earth with her silver

Late August, given heavy rain and sun
For a full week, the blackberries would ripen.
At first, just one, a glossy purple clot
Among others, red, green, hard as a knot.
You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet
Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it
Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for
Picking. Then red ones inked up and that hunger
Sent us out with milk cans, pea tins, jam-pots
Where briars scratched and wet grass bleached our boots.
...
Laughter, the universe's oldest, greatest medicine.
Healing young and old.
First time dates, anniversary gifts.
What a present you can give, and it's all worth while.
If you find it in yourself to find a reason to smile.
- J.B.
...
In the silence of your gaze, I found my song,
A melody so tender, where I belong.
Your touch, a whisper, soft yet profound,
In your arms, my world unwound.
...
When I say I love
I say it with all my heart
And not just a little piece
...
A hand extends, soft and bare,
A fragile bond hangs in the air.
A paw meets it, rugged, worn,
By countless battles, weathered and torn.

অকিঞ্চিৎকর প্রেমের কাব্যকথা
এমন করে কাঁদলে আকাশ সকাল সকাল বৃষ্টি ঝরায়
লাল গোলাপি তোমার নাকে ইচ্ছে মতন নোলক পড়ায়
...
এক পৃথিবী অন্যরকম,
অন্যরকম প্রেমের চ্ছটায়
একলা আকাশ কাঁদতে থাকে
অন্ধকারে ভালোবাসায়।
...
আমি বাবা ভালোই আছি সঙ্গী করে দাঁতের ব্যথা
এক জীবনের পক্ক কেশ ছড়িয়ে দিয়ে সবটা মাথা
বালিশ ছেড়ে অন্ধকারে দাঁড়িয়ে ওড়াই গোপন কথা
অজস্র সুখ ছড়ানো ছিল কিশোর কালে এবং সেথা!
...
অবিশ্রান্ত স্বপ্ন ঢেউয়ে বয়ে যায় নারী।
তুমি কি সুখ খুঁজে পেতে চাও?
মানুষকে মানুষের মত যন্ত্রণা নিয়ে
...
নিষ্ঠুর
নিষ্ঠুরতা নিয়ে পড়ে থাকে এক জন্ম,
তাকে নগ্ন করলেও একই থাকে।
...
অপরাহ্ন
কাল আমার এক বন্ধু এসেছিল।
প্রায় পঁয়ত্রিশ বছর পর দেখা।
...
বেঁচে যাবে এ পৃথিবী
ঘুম আসে না নীরব হলে গানের কথা। এক পৃথিবী আগুন নিয়ে বসে থাকো যদি, সে আগুনে পুড়ে খাক হয় মায়াহীন স্বপ্ন জাল। আমি মনুষ্যত্বকে ভুল করে ডাকি নি, ডেকেছি অনেক ভালবাসায়। হাতে হাত রাখো যদি, তীব্র সুখ বয়ে যাবে চোখ ও চৌহদ্দিতে। এ পৃথিবী বেঁচে যাবে শুধু তোমার প্রেমে এ অসময়ে --
হে ঈশ্বর!

In a world that's rife with cruelty, hatred and prejudice
may we spread a little joy and love and happiness instead…
because a world that's rife with cruelty, hatred and prejudice..
needs all the joy and love and happiness we can spread.
...
We've seen time and time again the horrible consequences
when Mother Nature turns her wrath upon our nation….
Like when the high tides, the winds and the rains of Hurricane Helene
left in her wake a path of devastation.
...
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!
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)

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 -

When Gentlemen can see—
