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.
...
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 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.
Today I will let the old boat stand
Where the sweep of the harbor tide comes in
To the pulse of a far, deep-steady sway.
And I will rest and dream and sit on the deck
Watching the world go by
And take my pay for many hard days gone I remember.
I will choose what clouds I like
In the great white fleets that wander the blue
As I lie on my back or loaf at the rail.
And I will listen as the veering winds kiss me and fold me
And put on my brow the touch of the world's great will.
Daybreak will hear the heart of the boat beat,
Engine throb and piston play
In the quiver and leap at call of life.
To-morrow we move in the gaps and heights
On changing floors of unlevel seas
And no man shall stop us and no man follow
For ours is the quest of an unknown shore
And we are husky and lusty and shouting-gay.

Through every nook and every cranny
The wind blew in on poor old Granny
Around her knees, into each ear
(And up nose as well, I fear)
All through the night the wind grew worse
It nearly made the vicar curse
The top had fallen off the steeple
Just missing him (and other people)

My dream is hard to reach,
But I must fight for it.
Even though many trials will come,
I can handle them, even if it's tough.
My dream is their dream too,
They make me stronger.
When I feel like giving up,
They are always there for me.
...
An inspired dream I dreamt
In the distance she stood
A visceral beauty from empires unknown

¿Recuerdas?
¿Recuerdas cuando éramos felices? Cuando tus mensajes me llenaban de alegría inmensa, cuando no pensaba en otra cosa que no eras tú, porque solo tú comprendidas cómo me sentía,
Recordar todo esto hace que simplemente se genere un gran vacío en mi corazón, puede que llegue a doler hoy, mañana y pasado, pero solo el tiempo sanará todo, excepto las heridas.
¿Recuerdas?

'Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest phenomena in physics. When two particles become entangled, their states are correlated no matter how far apart they are. Measuring one instantaneously affects the state of the other, seemingly violating locality. This has been confirmed experimentally and suggests that reality is far richer than classical physics allows. Mathematically, entangled states are described using tensor products of wavefunctions:

Look at me... Spreading my words and flying across the page.
Souring freely, I see beneath me, the silenced troll.
Suddenly, all joyful creatures ascend to float above all below - free at last
The troll withers in the shadows of joy he can't see, and drowns in the disappointment of the man he'll never be

Het valt me op dat mensen die opgeleid zijn of zich een of andere functiedrager mogen noemen M/V er toe neigen het gewicht van het gelijk naar zich toe te trekken. Dit uitsluiten van de de doorsnee burger in elke serieuze discours is jawel een mensenrechten schendig, u hoort het goed, een schending van grondrechten. Het is feitelijk nog erger, systeemklassemaatschappijbevorderend en uitsluiten van Kritiek, groepen, of een door u ongeïdentificeerde andere blik/visie. Kijk; 2 wetenschappers die samen het kippenei hebben bestudeerd op de reactie van de dikte van de barst van de schil bij zekere omgevingstemperatuur afgezet tegen de groeistadia van het kuiken, die zullen zelfs beiden een andere "mening" hebben met wetenschappelijke feiten of zelfs eruditie onderbouwt. De kennis van het algemeen dient het nut van het Algemeen, men mag focus vragen en repliek als er kritisch wordt tegengesproken maar meer niet. De grondrechten zeggen dat het is toegestaan je mening te uiten…. Dat je mag protesteren, Arendt noemde dat het zelfs een burgerplicht is dat wanneer het mandaat tot uitvoer ten onnut of oneigenlijk of oneerlijk wordt toegepast. Gelukkig zie je meer meningen en meer mensen van hun stoel komen om gebruik te maken van dat recht op volwassen burgerschap en deelname aan welke discours dan ook, natuurlijk bedoel ik niet de diepe kennistheorieën binnen nanotechnologie en chirurgie bijvoorbeeld, maar verder is er veel mogelijk en dient de openheid de discours te volgen en uitnodigend te zijn.. Natuurlijk voelen de betaalde menigeen zich plots om hun brood bedreigd. Diezelfde burger komt met ideeën die soms zelfs leiden tot herzieningen, of vindingen die anders nooit waren ontstaan of uitgebroed du moment. Je verwacht dat als iemand kan stemmen, internetten en een beetje kan schrijven en lezen, toch gemiddeld meer dan MBO niveau heeft om überhaupt goed te kunnen leven in een samenleving die Zeer hoge zelfstandigheidseisen stelt aan haar burgers, dat die burgers naast dat stemmen die grondrechten ook zullen en mogen gaan uitoefenen zonder die mainstream erkenden tegenwerking! Een maatschappij die scholing en assertiviteit en zelfstandigheid eist van haar volk moet ook hen in de discours ontvangen, het is anders niet een democratie maar een technocratie of een autocratie te noemen, democratie is een te prefereren dynamisch gezonder levend mechanisme als er niemand opzettelijk wordt uitgesloten!

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