Best Expressing Poems
From happiness to sorrow
from frustrated to pleased
another new tomorrow
and another emotion teased
Cheerful, loving, passionate
despairing, desperate, used
First I'm feeling confident
the next I feel abused
The words cannot express
the dilemma deep inside
and I cannot confess
although God knows I've tried
the feelings that keep taunting
through day and in my sleep
a feeling more like haunting
harried, scared and deep
Depression is the monster
that chains me in the dark
and makes me feel inferior
and silences the lark
Expression is the key
to releasing these dark chains
but I just don't seem to see
the light to end these rains

The question for us my dear friend is not to define love
but
to express our love with each thought, word and deed!

One beat.
Forever overcoming

I write wildly,
Expressing, emoting
Fierce,feelings flowing
Quickly, quietly through my head
Placing, pen on paper
Releasing, recurring ,wraths within
Clearing, cleansing, the clarity conquers
Images influence entirely everything
Piles of pictures purged from my mind
Silencing my souls, shadowed secrets
Freeing a forbidden feeling of my past
Slowly, solace seeps
Renewing and refreshing
Entirely everything
Free to forge forward
To try to trust

Alliteration
Expressing your individuality and uniqueness
It's strange to me, how people express their individuality and uniqueness by copying other people!

Love is about forgiving
when you really would like to hate.
Love is about letting go
When that seems like embarking on an entirely new day.
Love is about searching
When coldness is all that you see.
Love is about praying one day
Situations will change so each many discover their destiny.
Love is about accepting faults
without complaint.
Love is about giving each other encouragement
Even when emptiness remains.
Just wanted to take a second to express thoughts of love to you.

I still need to feel loved
When I am old, it fades away
But I am still the same
Saying it is not enough
Nor is buying it
I feel ignored
I feel alone
The smallest things can make a change
A hug
A kiss
Sliding your hand into mine and whispering from depths of your heart, "I love you so much"
For once if it is you and not me who acts first
I will know
I will know that I am not ignored
Not alone
Not forgotten
And still loved
It's the tiny tiny light in my heart that lights up most
For I am still the same
I have not changed
I want to be loved

Choking, churning dense river of clouds.
Vengeful, raging, wrathful airspace,
where seraphs and cherubs are murdered,
where cold torrential demons are unleashed.
Dank deep noons and nights interbreed,
incestuous and quailing, unholy waters
wailing, exploding, spilling specters,
erasing, defacing, disgracing all that was.
We all know the inequality of cruelty.
Cloudbursts inflict the most on the least.
Drenched hopes and soaked assumptions are
undone by mudslides, unhinged in flash floods.
There are so many conversations we wish
we once had, before the rains started,
before the blast of tainted waters scoured
our private rooms, and it was too late.
No, we don’t know we’re drowning in
the life we repudiate.

your love is like a flower blooming in the hands of time
i am honored to let the world know that you are mine
my days are brightened knowing that i am loved by you
your giving heart alone makes me feel brand spanking new
my life feels like a little boy just discovering things
every angle of your presence makes me feel like three kings
i do not say this much, but when i speak it, it's true
you are the spring water that purifies my roots, and for that and so much more....i love you

when I see you, I fell. & when I fell, i fell pretty hard.
Maybe next time I should just, watch where im going before I fall even harder.
You're always on my mind, there's not a day where I can't stop thinking of you.
Maybe its cause every time i think of you I remembered why i fell for you.
I can't tell you why i fell for you or like you.
I have no clue. Maybe its just how you are? your personality?
Your looks or just everything else about you.
But just remember the main point, I just fell for you.

Light Verse
My mother burned us all…smoke
rose from the ashes that clinged
to our beds, to the tables and chairs.
No one knew of screams that
echoed through the night, of the
sleepless nights from lying in
wait for what may come.
Nothing stoked the flames
we burned like unsmoked cigarettes
slowly our flames died out.
My father sat in silence
Ignoring blood soaked pillows,
ignoring us, and how we were
expressing invisible scars through
silence and self harm ignoring his
own house engulfed in flames.

A lot many interactions
On those umpteen ‘social’ platforms
Exchange of views and ideas
Between the two
Pouring their ‘hearts’
Or better still ‘minds’ out
Wearing your heart on your sleeve
Is a complete ‘No, No’, you see
Still there’s ‘trust deficit’
In this opaque, false, goody-goody world of appearances
‘Understandings’, ‘Misunderstandings’
‘Jumping to conclusions’- everything goes
Now don’t ask me
Amidst all this
“Where are the emotions”?
As true emotions and words can clear the air
But you see people are clever, emotions are trained
Given ‘thinking space’ in the mind
Worse, language is kept aside
And we are made to go back to
Those pre-language days of signs and gestures
Emotions expressed from the other side-
A laughing and weeping emoji at the same time
To let confusion reign supreme
And keep different possibilities open
(Even a laughing emoji, in context, may not make any sense)
‘Folded hands’
Expressing ‘thankfulness’ and ‘enough’ simultaneously
To keep the other person guessing
So, in this complex world
You also better not look for straightforward answers
Express your emotions the ‘emoji’ way
Language be damned!

Prose Poetry
It's like grinding-
Thistle-lips when speaking--
Trying to trample,
'Assumption'
Told us melancholy
With which; I wear
Knives-as-skin.
My Cerebellum-doesn't
Know-how-to
--Connect?
Channeling changes,
You'd rather see
Becomes me.
I listen sideways; stepping
Speech--
I'd eat bramble branches
For impediments of you.
Screaming red-raw-thorns
As they skewer-
My throat.
I giggle blisters instead.

I love you and you loved me,
We’ve been as close as close can be;
Every year you filled my life,
I’ve been so proud to be your wife.
You brought such joy to everything,
Made me smile, my heart sing;
Only you held me so tight
Giving comfort to each night.
You may be gone but not for me,
For everywhere I look, you I still see;
Sweet memories help my spirits soar,
For you my darling I adore.
We’ll be together once again
And what I want to say till then,
Is that I’ll miss you in every way,
For each minute of every single day.

I'm going to level with you
I don't know how to say it
Everyone has already told this story
It's all been said before
But it's true
Every word of it is true
I guess I never realized how true it was
But now I know
Every story about butterflies my stomach
Every song about setting my heart aflutter
They've been told time and time again
And every word is true
Every story
Every note
All of it
It's all true, and it's about real things I feel about you
The words seem trite, but they're all real
For me, anyway
I love you
With every story and song
