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.
...
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
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
...
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.

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.
I.
Let's contend no more, Love,
Strive nor weep:
All be as before, Love,
---Only sleep!
II.
What so wild as words are?
I and thou
In debate, as birds are,
Hawk on bough!
III.
See the creature stalking
While we speak!
Hush and hide the talking,
Cheek on cheek!
IV.
What so false as truth is,
False to thee?
Where the serpent's tooth is
Shun the tree---

...
not of silver nor of coral,
but of weatherbeaten laurel.
Here, he introduced a sea
uniform like tapestry;
here, a fig-tree; there, a face;
there, a dragon circling space --
designating here, a bower;
...
They say the eyes are the doors to the soul
See their emotion, their kindness or anger
I gaze into his blue eyes
I see kindness, joy, and passion
I wish I could see love
Maybe it's there but I am blind
or maybe I see love for her.
...
Love is wonderful
More than all the lovely words
Nothing less than true
Love is more than beautiful
...
Every sight unveils the Divine
within the universe's vast, secret hem.
In silence, a symphony of colors plays;
the wind whispers arcane mysteries.
...
The sun and the moon have their eclipse,
so they can share a moment together.
Even if it's short-lived,
it proves the impossible can sometimes tether.
...
I hope you'll find the peace and love that you deserve.
I see it clearer each day, the longer I observe—
How deeply you need it, more than words can preserve.
Know that it would bring me peace too, even if I'm just on the curb.
...
The flowers of spring are blooming again,
A testament that patience brings beauty,
After the long, dark, and mundane winter's pain.
...
I'm not trying to find answers or validation,
All I want is to create a consistent story out of an inconsistent situation,
Even if it's born from pure imagination,
Please allow my curious mind this quiet fascination.
...
If love finds me again,
I hope it'll be the last.
No more do I want it in vain,
A feeling that will truly last.
...
For those who remained true
despite what you knew;
I thank you!
For what is a man without his lapses,
...
A love so strong it doesn't need to be returned to be valid.
The one who always gives doesn't lose or forbid.
Sometimes the offerings are enough to build
a sense of gratification that is pure and sacred.
...
How can I lower the volume of my soul,
when the heart is too loud and out of control?
Still, I will honor the silence, even though
the intensity has taken its toll.
...
To My Nanay Baby
All I'm asking is for you to hold on and wait for me.
I'll be there soon so we can make more memories.
...
I have been a witness to the beauty of human struggle.
I have outgrown all the adversity, as it no longer fits my bubble.
I have learned how to be a good man without a blueprint.
I had to invent my own version of masculinity to uplift my spirit.
...
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.
...
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
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
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 -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
