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 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.
You smiled, you spoke, and I believed,
By every word and smile deceived.
Another man would hope no more;
Nor hope I what I hoped before:
But let not this last wish be vain;
Deceive, deceive me once again!

[Book 1]
I am like,
They tell me, my dear father. Broader brows
Howbeit, upon a slenderer undergrowth
Of delicate features, -- paler, near as grave ;
But then my mother's smile breaks up the whole,
And makes it better sometimes than itself.
So, nine full years, our days were hid with God
Among his mountains : I was just thirteen,
Still growing like the plants from unseen roots
...
Hydrangea flowering plants,
Meaning water vessel in Greek
For such capsule shape circumstance
To hold the water which they seek.
When the soil is alkaline, hue
Of the flowers is pink a lot.
When the soil is acidic, blue
Is color most flowers have got.
The flowers bloom from early spring
To late fall in large flower heads.
...
Ignorant people
Are the people who don't own books,
Those who don't read them are sheeple
They just ban them with their dirty looks.
...
When you get married these words are so true
Marry the person who is a lot like you,
One with the same habits and the same belief
That way it will cutback on your sadness and grief.
...
In God we say we trust
But, in God do we really believe,
To the Lord are we just
Or unto the Lord do we deceive.
...
when you feel sick and cannot rest
may there be cooling winds for you
out of the west, gardenia scented
and soft weave blankets made for you
...
Wood swells with moisture's gentle kiss,
Absorbing life, in nature's quiet bliss.
...
I dipped my finger in the rose, then began to smell it,
A fragrance sweet, a story untold, in petals delicate.
Each petal whispered secrets, a garden's hidden lore,
In nature's fragrant symphony, I found myself explore.
...
You want to offer
your eyes to celebrate the ceremony
of the break up of life in the bright sun.
...
In Time's embrace, where mysteries unfold,
No keys to bind its secrets, yet untold.
Its sands flow on, relentless in their stream,
A boundless river, life's elusive dream.

Some things that are true and helpful for you—I will list in this message and more in the future. These are things you need to know.1. You have the right to have peace and to go to war for Peace: that is to say, you have the right to be at peace and to expose and fight those things that are against Peace (or the mission or message of true Peace) . And you have the right, if your intention is honest and you can prove or have proven (sincerely within yourself) that someone is committing evil and has no intention of stopping their behavior of evil (and in the right/righteous way) , to expose them by name or to give some kind of description about them, which reveals who they are. This is a fact—this is a truth—and I'm not recanting it. Beware of trying to counter or falsely expose me, because you're not only going against me but the angels of God, who(m) I'm a manifestation of.— 2. The Positivity message is a lame game a part of white supremacy. Another method of their doctrine it is to control you. Individuals of every (so-called) race of people are either being targeted by or are the perpetrators (and perpetuators) of (the) white-supremacist cult(s) or doctrine(s) . The true agenda of positivity is not just to agree to everything (or anything) , nor be passive because people tell you to be, but to be positive towards those things you truly agree to, that are beneficial to you, that are aligned with your true purpose or message, and most conducive to the benefit and well-being of all, and in the most perfect-and-acceptable-by-God way. That is the kind of positivity you should accept, and not that of the multi-national, multi-cultural, or multi-racial white supremacy. On-bent-knee submission, instead of head-held-high permission, is the condition of the majority today. If it's not consentience (or consentient) , then I'm in (at) contention with it (against it) .— 3. I don't apologize for my good behavior. All of my behavior is good (this is from an email message I composed on August 11,2023, around 4: 00 A.M.) . Flawless, faultless, and perfect I (am and) will always be.— I will continue this discussion in the future. Have a wonderful and blessed day! (Peace and Love!) - Joshua Aaron Guillory

In bustling Mumbai's Colaba street,
A sanctuary waits where souls can meet.
Meera walks in, the chimes ring clear,
A hint of coffee in the air draws near.

In the absence

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

Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

Life's flushest feather -
