Best Dared Poems


Premium Member Words I Dared Not Whisper
I've written of longing and pensive fears,
of sorrow, pain and my ravished emotions.
Tomes of poetry are an expose' of my soul
before my pen ran dry and my heart resigned.
Despoiled by devotion and ribbons of lies
is a tarnished ring, my circle of gold.

Love's wounds on paper,...

Premium Member Because I Dared
Because I dared, I have tonight
This is my flight into soft light
Where flowers drenched with dew,
delight, as canopy of sky turns heavenly blue.

Because I dared, I have new twilight
With hues of evening glow
And serenity, as I converse with trinity.

Because I dared,soft sanctuary I'll rely on
With...

Only Those Who'Ve Dared
Only those who've ridden recklessly,
towards the cliffs of 
I love you,
can reckon how it feels to fall,
when there's no bridge to 
I do too

When there's only air to catch you,
silence is oh, so very cold, 
as you tumble to the rocks below
and wish you weren't...

Had I Not Dared Break Free Or It Break Me

Had I not dared break free or it break me
would an unhappy soul have never sang
or songbird's nest grace willing willow tree
or prairie not fed herds of wild mustang.

Had I known, life too oft, becomes a...

I Dared To Dream
So I dared to dream.
Whiles my colleagues were asleep I dared to dream dreams of hitz, which will one day become a reality.
So behind the scenes, my medulla oblongata never took advantage of the cozy weather condition.

For when I look behind, there was a need...

Premium Member She Dared the Tigers
Daring the tigers to toss her aside
To flay her open, and eat her hide
She sat prissily and primly, happily too.
Planning to take these tigers out of the zoo.

The tigers got wind of it and threw her over the wall.
They liked not having to hunt dinner,...

Margaret Dared
Margaret dared to poke the bear
She thought she was so smart
With eyes of coal; she lacked a soul
And shot him straight through the heart

She sat and laughed at what she’d done
Because she thought she was smarter than everyone
She played the victim and tried to sway
the...

Premium Member We Dared To Dream
We dreamed to dream long decades ago
  of a future where we could easily go
from bedroom to office in a step or two
  skip the commute and the weather too

Well, now that the future has finally come
  So many seem downright depressed...

Premium Member One Who Dared
Striped lighthouse was thrilled to share her cloud
Young man’s optimistic attitude was notoriously refreshing
Bet there is a fishing pole around here, he mused.
It came into his hand instantly. She shone her light.
Sharing her cloud with one who dared, one who hoped.
One who believed in wishes....

A Devil that dared
The return to youth was what he brought me back to, but this was the issue. I've attempted leaps and extensions far away from my youth. From its eternal beauty and ego-driven agility and the experiences I’ve come to associate with my youth, I wanted...

She Who Dared To Dream
She dared to dream
And started to believe

She wanted to fly
So she gave it a try

She fell up a thousand times
But she gets up fast

And because of her will
She stand still

Today she will fly
With a pride and a genuine smile
Forever flying high...

Premium Member I Dared Not Speak To It
My sense of humor was laying under the French toast
Looking forlorn and angry
I dared not speak to it.
It is less of a morning person than I am.
I did not acknowledge that I had seen it
or even find it at all….
Until we both had three cups...

Fallen Angels
FALLEN ANGLES

They dared to dream
They dared to question
Wanted what wasn't meant to be
Craved that which wasn't theirs
When nothing happens without consent Divine
Why this longing in the hearts of hearts...
When we weren't meant to be
Why did our paths cross in this endless sea?
The pain, the anguish...
