The cats are scratching at my door.
I had two cats, and I think they were friends. One was fluffy, and the other was gray. They would groom each other, then they would play. But when one died, she was gone. Things in life do go wrong. The other... – by A J C | added by alanswansea18

I dreamed that I woke up beside you just in time to watch the sun set. Love games we play together for an audience of stars. Millions of other astral lovers come to encourage us and cheer us on, until the sun comes to rise again and sends us rushing... – by Numi | added by Numi

It’s manifest destiny that frightens me most. Not the specter of death or any chain-wielding ghost.
When the flames subside and we close what was open wide, I turn to myself to look inside. Desolate and dry, I want you so badly I’m on fire, my... – by Numi | added by Numi

High on a pedestal looking over my head, trying to remember just what you felt for me the day we were wed. Vows and love through words profess, I’m blowing bubbles for you to burst in mid air, these days you look at me without a care, maybe regret?

How much more will I have to run before I can walk?
How much more will I have to walk before I can stop?
I grew up when I was younger, and became a child when I'm older,
Who cares, the vultures of the night will rip my heart out every second day,... – by Prisha Sharma | added by prisha_s

I'm sorry that I had to kiss you as I did last night. It wasn't fair to you. It definitely wasn't fair to him, and my indulgence has made it fair to brand me the hypocrite I've been.
I kissed you for three reasons:
First; because I love and... – by Numi | added by Numi

It's gilded in bright colours
Like a peacock butterfly;
It sparkles in splendour
Like a diamond in the sun;
When it rests, it rests
In confined dank darkness,
In a bowel of nightmare
With what remains of a king:

Trying To Solve My Problems (Bussokusekika)
I’m sorry women
I just haven’t had the heart
To write poetry
I don’t feel very playful
My mind is preoccupied
Trying to solve my problems

In a world of thieves, we roam,
Tagged falsely, yet we're known.
He steals, she steals, we all confess,
In suits and ties, they acquiesce.
Masks exchanged, innocence lost,
Bars of steel, freedom's cost.
The real thieves hide in plain sight,

A cursory stroke in the shrub
Sets the gathering busy;
While rodents begin their chase,
The donkey jeers above a whisper:
"No one is afraid of any cat!"
Sound of a thick snap in the overgrowth
Invites the moon to stare
At a deserting arena,... – by Nwafor Oji Awala | added by nwafor_a

Your Hands
.
From birth, your touch, a cradle warm and kind,
first steps I took, your hand a steady guide.
Through tearful falls, your comfort I would find,
a silent vow, "My love will ever bide."

Your gentle hands brushed tangles... – by MR.P The Silent Poet | added by okello.p

Remember
When life get hard lean on the rock.
