All the hate they gave me
Made it so easy to give in return
How I truly felt inside
Was not a main concern
To me or to them
The hate grew on
Anger in my heart so strong
Knowing I was not where I belong
So blind to who I truly am

"Do you have a family?"
I asked him,
The man by the lake.
"I had a father,"
He answered, in his usual monotone.
"Alexander."
"Why do you call him by his first name?"
I asked him.
"He adopted me,"
He answered.
I did not ask anymore... – by Kristopher Spear | added by kris.spear

The stream of glass.
I see dreams of you and your blue eyes too, and streams of glass. This cannot last. Then I see a ring of gold that can't be sold and daffodils on a lilac hill. I think to myself, I will give her a whirl! I see your golden... – by A J C | added by alanswansea18

At the tower, midnight glare of an NVG in a distant stare,
Smell of cigarette smoke in the desert breeze we share,
Posted for a little while chatting up while listening,
Handling a browning that hits like a gavel rapting,
Unknown bogie, quick... – by Mushu | added by anonymous

As a writer of nonfiction.
With a taking of poetic liberties.
Taking what I observe to see.
Seldom do I express an opinion.
Given thoughtlessly.
And I must admit,
There are times I could use fiction.
But...
In these tumultuous days we live... – by Lawrence S. Pertillar | added by lpahtillah

I was sitting on the edge of the lake
when I met someone.
He was staring at the lake,
emotionless,
monotone.
I did not like him
because he was boring,
But I talked to him anyway.
I found things out,
From the emotionless fellow,

Look carefully at how you walk,
Not as unwise but as wise;
Making the best as you talk,
Days of evil full of lies.
Redeem time days are evil,
Not foolish in what you do;
Heed to avoid the devil,
Understanding what is true.

"Million Sentence"
A great curiosity
It overwhelmed the conscience,
Messing with everything
The inner structure
Who woke up
Your sleeping Self.
An unparalleled experience,
A determining moment
The course of life,
One day... – by EmaKwiny " Dr. Egrégio" | added by kwiny_e

Chains of pain and sorrow.
The love we have will never leave. I have no tricks up my sleeve. Love brings back old memories and pleasure, but I want you to be my wife forever. We will break the chains that hold all your pain and sorrows and create... – by A J C | added by alanswansea18

Soldiers
in the fog of war
body count
a blur
Casualties
both left and right
voices
go unheard
Winners
walk a losing path
politics
in charge
Nothing changes
nothing ends
death
— the final bard

I have a habit
of building sandcastles
Too close to the tide
Foam bubbles still popping
As I drizzle new towers
HURRY!
The tide is shifting
As I run
I have to know
What we could have looked like
From the powdery sand
A little farther... – by Victoria Hughes | added by anonymous

You were a stranger.
A name. A face.
But feelings stirred
like honey-amber slow and flowing-
bringing puddling sweetness to our souls.
May we enjoy this fully, new friend,
as we lick our fingers clean
of these saccharine moments that God
has... – by Victoria Hughes | added by anonymous
