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.
...
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.
Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want freedom
Just as you.

Maud went to college.
Sadie stayed home.
Sadie scraped life
With a fine toothed comb.
She didn't leave a tangle in
Her comb found every strand.
Sadie was one of the livingest chicks
In all the land.

Wow, the salty ocean,
Water crashing in rage,
Longing something to wage,
Sand resting as treasure,
With ecstatic pleasure!
The lovely horizon,
Upgrading for a mission.
Along with the ocean,
Looking all WHOLESOME,
...
A LOOK-336
A quiet ache begins to grow
when I see another bask in your glow.

Find me one -
A girl so flawed,
Her eyes dashed in sunlight,
Not soft, but burning,

Jouw inzet voor iets of betrokkenheid bij iets is misschien natuurlijkerwijs maar niet meer zomaar en zonder meer vanzelfsprekend!
Ik ben zelf sinds een jaar of 10 uit nood geboren positive awareness activist, gewoon omdat het gevoel van systeemstress en opgedrongen onmacht ons niet moet tegenhouden de regie zelf te herpakken op positive wijze. Dus niet bij de pakken neer, maar denken en handelen, welke 'bescheiden' bijdrage vanuit mezelf kan aan een schrijnend lijkende situatie een positieve draai geven. Dan na een tijd bemerk je de medestrijders en amazones, die hebben begrepen dat het vanuit onze eigen innerlijke kern moet blijven komen allemaal. Media en troebele journalistiek, zogenaamde waarheidsspreekbuizen, we zien het allemaal steeds meer helder! We staan er dus niet alleen voor. Als je een mondige burger de mond snoert wordt ie bondiger en autonomer, vindt en neemt zijn/haar eigen kracht serieuzer daar waar instanties of medewerkers van apparaten hoe goed bedoelt en onopzettelijk vaak ook trachten, ons geluid te dimmen en onze stem te winnen op een manier die niet goed voelt. Je stem terugnemen en het koesteren, liefde moet verdiend worden en jouw inzet voor iets of betrokkenheid bij iets is misschien natuurlijkerwijs maar niet meer zomaar en zonder meer vanzelfsprekend!

What are you afraid of losing
When nothing in this world actually belongs to you.

Not all love fades, not all love dies,
Some live in hearts, some in the skies.
No matter time, no matter place,
True love will find its warm embrace.

Descending through thickened mist
An old man reached inside and tore out my slumber
Ivory twists an open claw
Set upon the skulls of man

Phuphu ma-maregan'a Tlhapeledi,

Through tainted mass
A scourge unseen
Brought three winters forth
And set between
...
She was the ocean, open wide,
Not bound by beauty, nor by pride.
Her grace was not in sculpted art,
But in the kindness of her heart.
...
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.

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

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.

Two thrown together
