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;
...
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
...
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

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.

1.
Award, and still in bonds, one day
I stole abroad,
It was high-spring, and all the way
Primros'd, and hung with shade;
Yet, was it frost within,
And surly winds
Blasted my infant buds, and sin
Like clouds eclips'd my mind.
2.
Storm'd thus; I straight perceiv'd my spring
Mere stage, and show,
My walk a monstrous, mountain's thing
Rough-cast with rocks, and snow;
And as a pilgrim's eye
Far from relief,
Measures the melancholy sky
Then drops, and rains for grief,
3.
So sigh'd I upwards still, at last
'Twixt steps, and falls
I reach'd the pinnacle, where plac'd
I found a pair of scales,
I took them up and laid
In th'one late pains,

August is coming
and the goose, I'm afraid,
is getting fat.
There have been
no golden eggs for some months now.
Straw has fallen well below market price
despite my frantic spinning
and the sedge is,
as you rightly point out,
withered.
...
Amidst the chaos of my soul,
A vision takes hold.
A dream born from within,
A story waiting to unfold.
A world of wonder and beauty,
Where love and peace prevail.
A place where kindness is currency,
And hate and anger fade.
...
Invisible kingdom's, filled with naked nymphs, wicked pot holes at the end of the street.Fire spitting dragons that are to cold to speak.and you in the bathroom smoking weed.your music music, is every ware so you turn it up loud just to piss off the people who care..so buz off you tell the spider and t ell that bird it's rude to poop on m y window.
...
You're your most priceless gift!
No present on earth can be compared to you,
You're alive today to do wonderful things.
Be happy for yourself,
...
My mother's last day on earth
Making three telephone calls
Life to not be of any worth
Life to be a burden and a curse
...
Long time has elapsed,
The great bell is ringing for me,
It is also ringing for thee,
Now it is perfect time for us
...
Be with people who cherish you,
Who understand your vision, your ambition and your dreams,
Friends who will rub off your rough edges and sharpen you to get to your destination,
Mentors who will monitor you so that you don't drift away from your focus,
...
Yesterday.....
The great thing
Was known to me,
But today.....

Heavenly Hills (2! .9.1996) - 1
The Queen of the Hills keeps the health sound and top;
The herbal plants abound from the plains to the top;
Eucalyptus, exotic flower plants and sweet fruit trees, if you climb
...
As I laid in my deathbed head to my pillow,
Darling death and I did not rest in peace.
While my last breath blew, my knees could bend,
These hips slap could daaaaance… agaaaaain!
...
Slow to anger, filled with unfailing love
Your faithfulness lavished to a thousand generations
The God of compassion and ocean mercy,
Forgives rebellion, sin, and inequity
...
(In my head) Is finding a quarter or even an hundred dollar bill on the ground and taking it amount to stealing? (Having trouble deciding whether to take it or leave it there for someone else to claim) .
Is this what you think about? , You must make yourself nuts! Let's just say God has been very generous to you today and one of his angels dropped loose change down to you from Heaven.
Not every decision I make could possibly result in sin?
Yes, and even if it did result in sin, how were you to know unless God showed you of your error?
...
small ruby trains are chugging up the hills
of the fog bound cities suddenly wrapped in rain
...
To get to your dream,
To achieve your dream of being the president,
You came calling night and day at my door,
Wailing and pleading, tears on your face,
...
Suicide, suicide
Your presence is near
Suicide, suicide
I wish you were here

1. Take a shower you don't want to smell.
2. Pick out an outfit that will blend in with the latest trends and won't make you a laughing stock of the school more than you already are
3. Put on some makeup so you can't even recognize yourself and your face tingles with an unbelievable issue. You can't satisfy otherwise you'll have ruined the hours of meticulous painting you apply to your face.

I will never forget you my dearest soulmate..
these old meomries will never fade...
you've always laid me in your shade...
whenever I trembled or felt afraid....
...
I was like a withered flower in a barren desert,
till I breathed your smile that brought life to my heart.
I was like a homeless child looking for a shelter.
...
............sitting here in the stillness
.............................staring
...............staring out the window
...at darkness my friend and my foe.
...
He was before his beloved,
Kneeling on his thighs……..
His shoulders were down,
With his soulful cries…….

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 -

When Gentlemen can see—
