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

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.
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle-
Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea; -
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

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)
...
Everything begins with a night, and ends in night;
A realm of fears, a well of tears.
It holds happiness; it bears loneliness.
It weaves struggles; it offers snuggles.
And yet, the most amazing thing of all—
It is the most fearful time of all.
...
In Boston town, where freedom grew,
A mighty bell, for all to view,
Will ring again, a joyful sound,
As SAIL250 sets the bound.
...
A rock from space, so big and bad,
Six miles wide, made Earth feel sad.
It crashed down in the ocean blue,
Sixty-six million years, it's true.
...
Arise, all sinners
Ye emotions that are forgot
Give just one last drop
To this dried up well of distraught
...
Before I begin, I would like to dedicate this poem to my mother and every mother who carried us in her body and carried us to Allah in her prayers.
She didn't just give me birth, she gave me direction, she gave me protection before I learned self correction, When life pulled me down with invisible tension, she stood like gravity and left no room for suspension.
Before I knew my name or the shape of my fear, she was already praying, my future was clear.
...
A lie which reveals the truth
Makes the headline today,
I read it again and again
With profound concentration,
...
The hair is greying, the joints are creaking,
It's professional competence I'm seeking.
While peers are planning exotic holidays and cruises,
I'm nursing academic bruises.
...
When I told my cardiologist
that whenever I get a nosebleed
I skip of dose of my
blood thinner medication,
...
The snap was quiet, a silver thread
Severed by the cruel things you said.
A label pinned—'pathetic, ' 'liar'
To feed your cold, egoic fire.
...
We're born with love, a gentle light,
A kindness shining, pure and bright.
It makes us care, it makes us see,
The good in you, the good in me.

We're born with love, a gentle light,
A kindness shining, pure and bright.
It makes us care, it makes us see,
The good in you, the good in me.

بحران عمیق روانی و اخلاقی جوامع انسانی؛
تهدیدی بزرگ برای آینده بشریت.
مقدمه:
در دهههای اخیر، جهان با موجی از بیماریهای روانی، ناهنجاریهای رفتاری و بحرانهای اخلاقی روبهرو شده است که سلامت فردی و اجتماعی را به شکلی جدی تهدید میکند. این معضلات، که در بسیاری از موارد از بیماریهای ویروسی، میکروبی و ژنتیکی خطرناکتر به نظر میرسند، ریشه در تغییرات شتابان اجتماعی، فرهنگی و اقتصادی دارند. این تغییرات بنیانهای ارزشی انسانها را بهشدت متزلزل ساخته و موجب کمرنگ شدن مفاهیمی همچون مهربانی، محبت، آرامش، احترام متقابل و لذت بردن از نیکی در جوامع شده است.

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!
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—
