Best Unread Poems

a poem read
sparkling bright,
forgotten it dims 
in a pocket of night...

Is a poet still a poet 
if his work should go unread?
Or is he just a dreamer 
with words inside his head?

Does a poet keep on writing
though no one knows his name?
Or spill his soul 'til his fingers bleed, 
searching for his fame?

Does he dream...

Why is the middle where I put a book down?
My anticipation dies at that half-read interlude.
I lack the discipline that keeps me inbound.
A famous author's endings should be praised, and not eschewed....

I live in this cell with my self-hatred
How I was raised makes me feel so isolated 
These are not my thoughts or feelings for that matter
But I still feel as if I’m an ugly house that will never flatter

Even if you were to fix me
I’d...

A Book Unread
By LeBron Keener

A pale yellow light, a page in an open book,
Awaiting its reader, alone on the bed,
Halfway read upon the fresh satin coverlet,
Newly found romance in the pages ahead

A romantic tale, cavalier and lady faire,
Safe in his caress, alone nevermore,
The book was...

The unread pages of my diary....
Distress & the misery....
Confined to only me...
Which no one else could see....
Makes me just half a man...
As helpless like an orphan!

Wounded words & woes of the heart...
& agonies that will never depart...
Hide in the pages within...
So that they are unread,unseen....

Unread love poems
By
Jude Kyrie

Between the sun and moon
Were the poems that we shed
Words of love  that fell as snowflakes
But were forever left unread
The night stars were ever crying
At the words we left unsaid
They poured stardust down like teardrops
At all the love we left unshed....

He can't see a bright lit end
     to his long and rocky road,
Yet recalls the letters sent
     in the chill of winter's cold.
Now is lost the promise lent
     when the spirit had been...

Words unspoken, words unread!

Forgotten souls beneath the trees, 
Entombed in mud and fallen leaves. 
No more voices, no more pain, 
Times of conflict gone again. 

Soldiers left among the sands, 
In fields and mountains of foreign lands. 
Words unspoken, words unread, 
Their authors left among...

I want to be brave
I can't trail on...when you're gone (2)
Why are you gone?

Hey, I can't save...you from the sorrow - I can save you from the grave
Do you want me to grieve for you?
I can't hold on...when I have no hope - we must...

. for public domain

I fear each Winter's ascendency.
I loathe its long and formidable reign.
I yearn for Spring and Summer showers,
Autumn's chilling wind and brutal rain.

Winter's doom, long on once fertile ground,
entombs a broken stem and decaying limb,
mutes leaves of grass without a sound,
hovers our land...

My life is like an unread book;
Each day the story’s plot unfolds
While hinting what tomorrow holds.

Like “Peter Pan and Captain Hook”
Each new adventure on the way
Is written as I live each day.

I know the road the past once took
For I have read that part before,
But...

ode to my book shelfs filled with unread books

My house is filled with books
thousands of books
old books mostly
lots of musty classic books
lots of poetry books
lots of how to do it books
lots of history books
lots of thrillers, SF books
so many books
and they  are my friends,...

I lift and rise to being chased,
pops half-way, till full, beamed round-faced,
a fire host heightened its facade,
casting daylight shadows abroad.

Cool Earth plunged hot by its keeper,
heat courses like the Grim Reaper,
smiles at darkness to wait its turn,
up curve tidied, noon loses yearn.

Orange turns red, claws...

Don't worry now about past tense,
It's gone, passe'~ no longer hence.
Forget all those words left unsaid,
moments still waiting, books unread.
The future will come, enticed or not
Enjoy the days time has brought....
