Best Lighter Than A Feather Poems


Dark Skin
I was not told that I would be dark as a shadow in a solitary hole.
No not my soul, but the flesh that doesn't match the man who birth 
me; but all of the one that spent seven months moaning for my release

I was not...

Mcdonald Hamburger and a Cup of Coffee
I wonder what he was thinking, the man 
mounted on a stool, with his elbows resting on the bar, 
eating a Big Mac and sipping coffee from a McCafe coffee cup. 

The outside view he was watching through the glass wall 
is the flickering lights...

I've got a clever new invention in the works
Going to make a fortune when I work out a few quirks

It's no bigger that a breadbox and lighter than a feather
It's easily transported and is not affected by the weather

It measures poetry frustration on a scale...

Cant You See
I see you, but do you see me?
Do you see what we can be?
We could be together forever,
keeping our love as low as a treasure...

I can see you very clear...
These feelings are kicking me in the rear...
I want to ask you a question...
But can you...

The Void of Flight
Into the depths of depression I sank,
To the dark bottom of that  bottomless pit,
In which problems abound and worries are heightened
Funny enough, this pit though not physical
Tells on my physical
'Tseems the force of gravity is increased upon me
My gait is slow
An my countenance an...

Love Justice Born From Nothing
Love Justice Born From Nothing

Love does not come in bottles or packages
It travels light, actually it has no weight
Children play with matches that ignite
They cannot wait to burn
Hungry to see love in front of them right now
But too young to understand the simple things
Adults play...

Premium Member The Kite
A little hand
A thread
The kite thread
The Shemal Wind
Piled clouds over the coast
Where you were running
The thread in your hand
You breathe in the joy of flying
Your heart hops
Feeling light in your play
The thread extends toward the sky
In your hand
The kite
Climbing into a cloud
You are enveloped in...

She Is the One
In case of loud thunder
In jungles of fears
Starving for happiness
In floods of tears
I look back to her
My beloved mother..

When the world stands against me
When I face discrimination
When I need support
Or a reason for fascination
I sleep in her lap
To feel her kinder tap..

If I need some...

Pecker
Feeling the need to put my words/thoughts in a letter
Not sure if hearing from me makes you dither...
Or rather makes you want to quiver
Sending shock waves to your liver

Saying you want to get to know me better
Wanting/liking/needing a girlfriend to prosper...
Checking your compatibility setter
Don't know...

Untitled
Along comes thoughtless driftwood;
lighter than a feather, yet as strong as the river
it came from.    Magickal & smooth,
Carved from the endless current.
Just like bones & blood.

Soar
I am lighter than a feather
 I'll fly up to the Father 
I will fly away up to
 the Father farther than anything
 He'll embrace me engage me
 Gently my Father baptize me 
And in His holiness I'll be in...
His the holy of holies

The Weight of Life
In order for me to find out the weight of my life
I took all my clothes, shoes, accessories and even 
my pride off; and pain and grief are offset by 
the happiness and the joy, and stepped on the pan.

The number delivered from simple math...

Premium Member A Plucky Thanksgiving
A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.

Now the turkey's in the altogether 
He is feeling lighter than a feather 
He's thankful...
