When I had YouWhen I had You1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I remember there was a time,
When I thought I had committed a crime.
I remember feeling my mind wonder,
As the first idea of you went through me like thunder.
First all I could feel was a hollow fear,
Then came the first happy tear.
My little baby nestled within me,
I just thought of how it would be.
A warm little someone to love and protect,
This little person I would never regret.
A son or a daughter,
Would be my joy and laughter.
I didn't care if they threw me out,
This child was mine without a doubt.
I would sit awake for hours,
Thinking of the blessed powers.
How wonderful it was to have you!
Being absolutely steadfast a

I look in the mirror reflection,
I hope my true self avoids detection.
I am not who they believe,
I find freedom when they leave.
I see myself with this refinement,
It's all traditional confinement.
Who is she?
That beauty staring at me.
Not who I was meant to be.
This personality and this face,
My family's disgrace.
Honor and poise,
Someone save me from this choice.
I hide behind this façade,
It's a delicate charade.
I see myself as a warrior,
Everyone around sees me as inferior.
Why can't I let my true self shine?
Why must I let this cage confine?
Behind this face I fade.
Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight ba

My face shows that I'm smiling
But my eyes show I'm dying.
Alone and full of regret,
Sighing wishing to be content.
Actions I'll never commit,
Pushing to my limit.
Let me not be alone,
Going through life like a drone.
Look at me,
Please see.
Lovely Glimmering BladeLovely Glimmering Blade1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The lovely glimmering blade,
Etching memories in scars that never fade.
It has a double edge,
Slicing through promise and pledge.
Protection with the right owner,
Destructive when used by a loner.
Dangerous,
Callous.
Blind to everything,
But once you've slipped on that ring,
Love looks like a blessing.
Perhaps it is a double edged sword,
Protecting or cleaving with a single word.
The lovely glimmering blade,
Etching memories in scars that never fade.
My Lovable PartnerMy Lovable Partner1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
In the summer air,
Watching the breeze in your hair.
You smile at me with familiarity,
I wonder if this is a dream or reality.
I can't help but wonder,
Looking into your brown eyes I'm left to ponder.
You're a snotty jerk,
But that just makes me go berserk.
I can honestly say I love you,
Knowing that you'll always be true.
Listening to Why Georgia by John Mayer,
This level of love almost doesn't seem fair.
You're my best friend for infinity.
My insensitive jerk all the time,
My lovable partner in crime.

What if I knock at heaven's door?
What if I scream and shout all my needs?
What if I do my best to pray earnestly?
What if I still I feel empty because no one answers?
What if there's no relief in my soul after sending up that heavenly flare?
What if I am just a fallen angel?
What if all my prayers fall on deaf ears?

Tense as two lovers,
Closely they hover.
Driven apart by the beat,
Nimble and fleet.
He leads,
She fleas.
Lithe rhythm of seduction,
The sparks and passion.
Romantic,
Erotic.
Entwining around each other,
Intimacy is a wonder.
Without fearing,
Curve and muscle together melting.
Temptation,
Frustration.
Masculinity closing the chasm,
Clashing with feminism.
The tango making love to rhythm.

Silly young boy,
You play with your toy.
Demanding,
Arguing.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh little foolish heir.
Content,
But completely ignorant.
You're so insolent,
You're not even an adolescent.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you little foolish heir.
A golden scepter,
Set of gleaming amour.
What is this about maturing?
Maybe we're just fantasizing.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you surprising little heir.
Greying with age,
What a sage.
Marvel of time,
Gone past your prime.
Sitting in your chair,
Oh you fading aged heir.
How is it you never learned,
The gift that is a kind word?
Your time is over,
Not one single tear shed by a

Trapped in your own room,
Stealing a chance to escape the gloom.
So long and in so much pain,
Wondering what there is to gain,
Know that you are not alone,
You are not in solitude as a stone.
For with you are your husband and son
You feel that God has a reason,
But has yet to reveal the purpose,
With nearly seven years gone,
Wishing He would get to the outcome.
Your misery will not succumb.
Let God show his design,
His mercy shows a sign.
Time for your sun to shine!
PrejudicePrejudice10 months ago in Philosophical More Like This
We all have pre-conceived notions,
They cannot be broken until someone tries to break them.
So if someone judges you by the way you look,
It is not you that they see,
It is the image in their head,
Their experience,
And their knowledge of others.
It is not a bad thing,
It is called human experience,
Speaking as a defense mechanism.
We learn through what has been done to us,
And we apply our understandings,
And memories to everyday life.
Hence,
We go into a situation with a predetermined estimation.
It does not mean the predetermination is always right,
It just means it is there, until that stereotype is broken by someone wit
Integrity or Vice?Integrity or Vice?8 months ago in Philosophical More Like This
Many people say that evil is ugly, but if you asked me evil holds only beauty. For how could something ugly be tempting? No, evil is beauty. Evil has a name, Lucifer the Morning Star, most beautiful by far. Swelled with pride in his magnificence, he was destroyed by his own arrogance. Still he is stunning, even as he is evilly plotting.
Goodness is in severe disparity. Deceit is beauty, while austerity is nothing noteworthy. How could something plain be tempting? There is nothing appealing about one so unassuming. Goodness has a name, but is faceless in the mass gathering. But what makes virtue engaging? It is not the expression, but more in

Small boy, where do you roam?
Here and there, so far from home?
Place to place, never doing wrong.
Wandering in search for so long.
Into a man so brave and strong.
First to rush into the throng.
Strong man, where do you roam?
Here and there, so far from home?
Over the seas as they foam.
Strong man, why do you roam?
Brave hero, come home.
ShameShame1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
For what you've done you should feel shame.
Look around for who is to blame.
You have no humanity,
No compassion or charity.
You claim yourself a man of God,
But your actions prove you a fraud.
Pleas from people who are innocent,
Ask only for your blessing or consent.
But you sit here on your power,
Over the people you tower.
Using your position,
To persecute and lead the inquisition.
Every loyal Christian,
Forced into submission.
On your "holy" throne,
Your heart is a cold stone.
In my anguish and anger I say,
You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can run from

The first time I saw you,
Through a grainy view.
It was amazing what I saw,
Through pixels not a single flaw.
I saw the devotion in your eyes.
Waiting in the airport,
I felt like it was a day at court.
I paced the lobby in apprehension,
You held me and there was no more tension.
I saw the devotion in your eyes.
The first time your lips pressed to mine,
Oh sweet heaven divine!
The sensation with that simple touch,
It was almost too much.
I saw the devotion in your eyes.
Sitting in front of the dollar movie,
That night it was rather chilly.
You held me tight,
I remember what you said that night.
I saw the devotion in your eye
The Hardest WordThe Hardest Word9 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I sat up late last night,
Battling with this grievous plight.
Some say words of love are arduous,
But how can those be when they are most desirous?
Some say words of hate are strenuous,
But how can those be when a relationship is poisonous?
So I sat up late last night,
Trying somehow to see the light.
No, here is what I would express without delay.
There are many words that are hard to say,
But the hardest are when someone wants to go away,
To have someone leave without duress,
And calmly wish you all the best.
Yes, to anyone that would say,
"I would hate to hear it that way."
I would simply counter,
"Try having someone smile

No one sees them standing

I know not whyI know not why the caged bird sings,I know not why8 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
all I can say is that it does–
imprisoned forever, poor thing.
Doomed to repeat its melodies,
with no one around to listen.
Cut off from the world, like disease–
Lonely, terrible existence.
I know not why it softly cries,
Only that it does. Persistence.
When all of its screams have not been
heard, why, dear lord, do you treat it
so? What is this I feel within?
Such a longing to set it free
grows stronger with each solemn note.
This passion burns inside of me!
I know not why the caged bird sings,
all I can say is that it does,
and how it longs to spread its wings.

I do not have a cape and fly around,
I cannot span the globe in a single bound.
I do not live for eons on end.
There are many things I cannot do,
But there are many things I can live through.
I can feel sorrow or pain.
I can freely frolic in the rain.
I have an imagination,
I can experience elation!
I am not a super hero or a god.
To say I am would make me a fraud.
I have no great amount prowess,
I am perfect through my weakness.
I'm also prone to absolute silliness.
I am from planet earth,
Average from the day of my birth.
But given time I'll prove my worth,
Because I can declare with mirth,
"I am only human!"

Going off to college, hastening for your shot at knowledge. I watch you pack up your things, unobtrusively thinking, "What is he doing?"
With my big brown eyes, I watch you give your sweet goodbyes. A sweet scratch on the chin, you say with a sad grin, "I'll be back again."
Months pass by, I am left to whimper and cry. I run to the door, I am left lying on the floor. I sleep in your bed, you're the only thing in my head.
In the house there is a big commotion, I am left with a question, "What's going on today? Why is everyone acting this way?" It's so strange, does this mean a change?
The next few days go by in a haze, I am still left won

Things are going so well in my life,
Then a rain storm begins.
Feel like I have nowhere to hide.
What do I do?
Come to a complete stop and wait?
Or run as fast as can away from it?
Most of you would run right?
I am here still standing,
In the storm just waiting.
It can't rain all the time.
Here I stand in the cold,
Waiting for someone to take me home.
When a thought comes to mind,
Whispered in the wind.
Get an umbrella and sing.
Dance in the wet sprinkling,
There's nothing wrong with it drizzling.
Learning to make the best,
Blessed with what I'm given.
There's always a silver lining,
Up in the clouds somewhere.

Glowing pink from the blush therein.
Your smile lights up an entire room,
Like a sun breaking through a tempest.
Your hands search the entirety until the very last,
Leaving nothing untouched from where you caressed.
You are always inviting.
Your eyes light up when you're passionate or elated.
Your laugh makes my heart sing.
Your strong, gentle hands make me shiver with impassioned fire.
Even if you request to cease,
Your quiet begs increase.
Whether it be kissing or impassioned embrace,
The same message is always expres

I walk along a quiet path; all I hear is the breeze in the leaves. The soft breeze speaks of the ending spring, and beginning summer; I look to the bright blue sky that is obscured by the leaves as I listen to the sounds of the trickling fountain and delicate Japanese maple tree.
But overall the sounds of peace is his voice calling to me, a caress in the breeze, I look to the maple tree that stands, swaying gently in the breeze, light red lush leaves waving and casting their shade. Under the shade of the tree there is a log bench, there I see him sitting, arms open wide for me.
