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
...
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.
Once I dipt into the future far as human eye could see,
And I saw the Chief Forecaster, dead as any one can be--
Dead and damned and shut in Hades as a liar from his birth,
With a record of unreason seldome paralleled on earth.
While I looked he reared him solemnly, that incandescent youth,
From the coals that he'd preferred to the advantages of truth.
He cast his eyes about him and above him; then he wrote
On a slab of thin asbestos what I venture here to quote--
For I read it in the rose-light of the everlasting glow:
'Cloudy; variable winds, with local showers; cooler; snow.'

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
...
I come to a room adorned with whispers of time,
Where the shadows dance in a rhythmic rhyme,
And there, an old woman stands with a heavy heart,
Gazing into a mirror, looking at the crooked work of art.
Her eyes, once bright, like stars in the night,
Now hold the weight of a fading light.
Lines etched by years, like tales on her face,
Each wrinkle a chapter, a journey to trace.
...
Springs throw a dice
many days rain
The dachshund brays
tempus fugit
...
War we need to pay the bills,
Kill some babies, sod the ills.
Trash some houses steal some land
...
There stood the lonely thorn, yet full of joy!
Gnarled upon the moorside steep.
A travellers sign as man and boy
Through rain and snow, bleak or deep.

Note: Ray F. Gricar disappeared in the vicinity of Lewisburg, PA in April of 2005, and a botched local police investigation ensued in which police refused to follow concrete leads that suggested the police/F.B.I.were involved in Gricar's disappearance, for example, the use of "body doubles"—men who looked like Gricar—who appeared in Bellefonte, PA and vicinity immediately after Gricar's disappearance, remaniscient of F.BI. use of body doubles in Dallas, Texas immediately following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. (That the F.BI. uses and used body doubles following Kennedy's assassinations has been proven in Florida courts by the testimony of former F.BI. agents themselves in a recent Florida vote-rigging scandal.)

The Greatest Friend I will ever have,

And in God's house for ever more,
We will meet again I pray.

Dream of one World Turning Into Heaven Sure Soon!
We achieve fulfilmnet by doing the thing we are interested
Deeply and love in life by aligning with such groups of the world;

I needed you like a child needed her mum
Just as a sinner longed for redemption
This world wasn't mine, I belonged to none
Does love exist? , I thought with obsession.

In the land of maple syrup, poutine, and snow,
There lies a road where only the brave dare go.
The 401, they call it with dread,
A path of chaos where even angels fear to tread.

Who will chase the pallid moon of May
on slow descend behind the river bank?
Dry air of dry summer confronts the queen in haven
Turning her drier to the core of beaming luster

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.

Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

If you had the choice of two women to wed,

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
