Expression Poems - Poems about Expression

I need words to catch this fire, this burning that eats me alive like a wolf in my chest, this storm that turns my bones to water. But words give me only small, broken things: love, need, want each one is a tiny box trying to hold the sea. Still, I shout, because this love is a wild horse kicking to get out, the sun breaking open...

Everyone reads what I write, Except the one it’s meant for. She never do. She never will. And I ask myself, Do these words mean anything, Or are they just a lullaby For a heart that forgot how to sleep? Maybe I write to lie, To pretend silence was a choice, Not a sentence carved into me. I stitched my mouth shut With thread made of shame, The...

Freedom is somewhat limited In a so-called democratic society At times, people cannot truly tell it like it is People cannot vote freely Without some restrictions or some stupidities In order to weaken the disadvantaged Even though the US first amendment guarantees Freedom of speech, freedom of expression To assemble peacefully, freedom of religion Freedom is not what it is It is not how it...

Forging in expectation a moment unseen To enrich her palette with emerald and cerulean She approaches her stage a white canvas of snow As she softy begins a ballad in harmonious crescendo A brushstroke so daring yet resevered to proclaim To taunt the wandering eye In a delicate maze [] As one yellow daisy blows in the wind Green mountains touch blue skies While a...

Thank You for your wise words, I learnt to be smart in stealing, Stealing other’s hearts with my kind-words, Which is filled like yours with meaning. Thank You for your warm heart, I learnt to be worth-adoring, And stay awake and help others, Even when I can hear their snoring. Thank You for your lovely look, Now I can fluently cook, Cook heart-warming stories for...

You live in my heart, Always and forever, You have pierced it with your kindness’s arrows, Where my mind is your dart. You are in my mind, I have never seen anyone so kind, Your eyes have accepted me as its guest, Now your home is to me- My cozy nest. You may love the Rose, But you cannot hide when I am to...

As the years pass me by, I've remained stuck in a cage. Built up by my fears, made strong by my rage. I sometimes get to wander free in a garden filled with color. A blissful peace within myself, forgotten moments after it's discovered. Retreating back to the comforts of my cage. A confinement of my mind, body, and soul....

I wish I could untie my tongue -- find courage, strength to shine light upon those least illumined recesses still hidden from public view, shielded and scabbed over like festering raw wounds...must I accept that there will never be a time when, freely, I can express my "me"-- that one among those other me's I've not displayed? Depending upon circumstances-- places and the hour...

I don't expect many to understand my voiced words, they are from my experience, journey, and lifetime. I enjoy voicing somethings that were held deep inside writing in ways, formats, rules, or decency just to release. My tone and use of words are decided carefully for respect; no matter what social media platform, you will be censored with such subtlety without...
