How I Feel Poems | Examples

Premium MemberAnne Surely

Like Smith and Wesson:
Weaponry,
What comes shooting out,
Every word of me;
Endowed with a round,
Butt, and balcony,
She harkens to hotness:
A Summer eave;
Like hovering the darkness:
A green gable,
Canopy –

Herein lay the words,
That geyser burst in:
She’s a happening tapestry,
Well-versed in,

Person; As an aurum recipe, 
And fly like a dart: trajectory;
Heaven, I declare exactly,
Her sexy lexicon: olfactory –

They shoot, stab, and run,
some are caught and then released
showing no remorse.

Youthful to begin with

Young at heart…
Torn apart by the death cart…
Depart from me,
Ludicrous liberty

End me to begin you…
Mend me to forgive you…
Your sins are covered with mercy
From within, I heard from Your joyous glee

Compassionate is Your spirit to me, oh Lord of Accord

I’m aboard your ship of serenity
Free me for an eternity and beyond
I’m fond of our Bond of grace graciously

On The Money

To Americans, July 4th
is Independence Day,
with; barbecues, concerts, fireworks,
picnics, parades, patriotic festivities,
(a.k.a., Freedom Day).
Despite the star-spangled banner's,
red, white and blue,
to that of the British Union Jack,
being identical in hue,
flag-waving they're compelled,
or conditioned, so to do.
The U.S. Constitution does define,
'Treason' as... the only crime
consisting of levying war
against them, and/or,
to their enemies adhering,
with comfort and aid
by all means conveyed.
To those in England,
considering, in 1776,
colonists went their own sweet way,
it's the ultimate 'Treason Day'.
And, altho' the U.S. touts
'Separation of Church and State',
yea, verily I say,
is it not hypocritically unjust
of them to print on their money,
'In God We Trust'?

Premium MemberAnger

Anger see’s it’s dwelling seldom blessed.
Never allowing a peaceful night of rest.
Gibberish can often leave others distressed.
Edifying words will always pass the test.
Rushed thoughts are never from your best.

Ended in misery

The heat creeps into the empty fabric
only getting colder
inside the tightly closed gray jacket
no warmth of jokes and laughter
nor embraces that are increasingly glowing
please, close your eyes for a moment
let me kiss between your reddened eyelids
bitterness of isolation

And if it's tomorrow
take the time for a final greeting
when I'm still stuck at the end of the road
so that the pressure on our shoulders will lighten

If it's still 20 counts
let's turn away before the bitterness ends and silences
before regret and suffocation grip us even more
before forgiveness and love are expressed again

Premium MemberStormy Blues

Eyes that burrow their way into my soul. 
Bringing out what I do not show or share with most. 
Hearing the pain in my words before I see it myself. 
Seeing the tears well up in my eyes even when I hide them. 
Those eyes colored like a storm over the ocean, blue but with the perfect mixture of grey. 
Those stormy blue eyes find their way through my secrets so easily. 
Calm yet confident, hyper yet sassy. Just stormy blues.

Premium MemberThe Meandering Neanderthal

In his heart is burning aggression
And violence is his lifelong confession
And sure he might wear nice shoes and a tie
But that's a masquerade mask to suit the lie 
A barbarian in heart and mind
He rarely fits in with the civilized kind
Dancing on his victim's grave
He assuredly is a dastardly knave
Devilish desires feed his fury
Quelling the fire inside he seeks to bury
There is no sense in the violence
But also no peace in the silence
Your voice is not noise
Even if powerful people it annoys
If allowed to continue the meandering neanderthal
Will be the fall of it all

Premium MemberWaters of Today

Water pouring like a soothing rhythm. 
A rhythm trying to soothe a restless soul. 
Water rising almost to the peak, a faint scent of lavender lingering amongst the bubbles that hover atop the steaming surface. 
The warmth summoning me, to come and wash away the uncontrollable moments of today. 
Just a girl pouring her heart out, shedding the burdens of the day.  
The evidence disappears as her tears meet the faintly scented lavender water. 
Water once steaming, slowly losing its warmth just as negative energy rips through the day.

paradox

I felt very distant from you,
But I couldn't be remote from you,
Why? I don't know
But this is not comfortable.
But also seeing someone else 
Watching you, crushing on you,
I feel jealous, but I shouldn't.
But now, you are in my life,
 I can't change it.
I tried to stop talking to you, but couldn't.
Even if I understand you, I am perplexed.
You seem familiar, even if you are an unfamiliar person.
The world serves no purpose for me.
Your name is what gets me going.
Even if you lie, it feels like the truth.
But it just shouldn't, I am denying this feeling.
I want and need to get over you.
But is it the right thing to do?

is this even poetry anymore

i tried to end it all last night
i failed, obviously
it's so crazy to me how life goes on
when it almost didn't
i talked to my friends today
laughed with them
smiled as if everything was normal
but i doubt they could tell anything was off
i even hung out with a friend
and i love to hang out with her but
i spent most of our time
just wishing maybe she'd notice
see how lifeless my eyes are
see how yet another part of me is gone
just like the last time
and the time before that
but she didn't notice
nobody ever notices
but that's okay, i know they have their own struggles too
i try to always be there for them
even when i'm not there for myself
it's easier that way
to fix people's problems instead of my own
i'd rather sit back and let my life crash and burn
than confront them
but i'd be lying if i said i didn't want someone to see
i won't tell them on my own
i'll tell them if they ask
they don't ask, no matter how many times i ask them
so instead i'll suffer in silence
mostly silent, besides writing these
until someone finally notices 
or i can finally succeed
