Premium Member Diary Journal

The thoughts flowed freely
In the diary 
Keeping memories
Intact in the mind

Premium Member Diary of a Girl

Els are for loves 
Lost count-of: every "ex" and
"Oh" there to show whom
I kissed as I exed them out,
While others left me in awe.

Diary of Whom Thou

Dear diary 
Whom I may be thou
Thoughts and days flow with madness
Sadness and love
Whom may I be thou
Dear diary of Whom I may be thou

Diary

These pages know my name
They know my story
They know my pen
All
My secrets
Holding them;
Like I hold yours

Reliably,
Your 
Personal diary

Premium Member What's In My Diary

NOT for a contest


If I kept a diary no one would see
all the things that mattered to me
I think most of you might even agree
that's why a diary comes with a key

The Diary of Jane

The sun slowly set,
As we silently walked,
Our minds clearly set,
Upon the task ahead.

No one imagined,
Nobody thought then,
Jane could be dead,
Before we caught the men.

You saw my smouldering eyes
You know all the signs by now
My fast quivering eyelids
And the flutter in my smile
Even the bulge in my pants
Darling i now see just why
I've not met your sis before

Premium Member Sevenbits--Diary

Widowed Dad zested for life,
Every day new adventures:
Hiking in the Sierras,
Naked white-water rafting,
Hours of gambling in Tahoe,
Dates with beautiful women...

Then married his best friend, Mike.

Of Their Love Diary

With long deep breaths,
With eyes total moistened,
They both wept closely.
But their hearts were blissful.
As for that moment,
They got United!!
And the best string was,
They both were unaware of it!!

A Date For the Diary

I wouldn't want to meet again the guy I met tonight;
it really was the saddest case of hatred at first sight.

Diary In Dire Need

Diary In Dire Need

My diary did become in dire need
Of more poems as food I should feed
It to thoroughly enjoy and also satisfy
Maybe some knowledge on try to rely;
When you read poems will be well-agreed.

Diary of An Anorexic

People say it’s only skin, but I see lard.
I see it falling down, straight from my arms.
It speaks to me, saying, come on eat.
You know you want to. Come on, feed me.
But I won’t. I think: discipline is key.
You can do it, food’s the enemy.

Makita Xviii: Diary of a Streetwalker

She’d recite the fairest refrains
As upon marble texture I languish
Moxie was her focus to sway me
I, never once yearning to retreat,
Became enveloped by an aura of passion
Spry was the breeze that descended
From the design ‘twas her lovely palms

Her Diary

From  her thick, littered journal
Notes of passion  burn with love
Against clangs of  dinnerware---
Till hours roam  into near morn
Her spouse digging  through  work’s pile.
Upstairs, she jots  tender  lines

Dreaming  of intimate nights .

Diary

With your sudden guise
giving Shirley poppies seeds away
To Welford for the snowdrops
in mid February
a hushed garden
with done, knuckled buddleia
rose hips nipped
no surplus food for the birds
Spring like weather
down the South
no snow to contend

The Shower Diary Part 1

The feeling so subliminal,
Quite eerily I remember,
Face-exanimate, body-
Cold. Suffering,  torture, 
misery, all fixed, voice-
vanished. Querulous-
High pitched cries, 
deafening still,  now that
It echoes, questions put,
Answers lost, could the 
Dead hear them too?

Father’s diary antique
Daughter found and read entries
Unkind words he wrote for her.
Sad, she flung the diary 
Her pale photo fell on floor,
Written on it : words float on
My unsaid love for you deep.

Diary of An Honest Woman

A woman's like a cat,
coniving and keen.
One minute purring,
the next minute mean.
She'll slice open your heart,
with her sharp claws.
And as you know a woman,
she has no flaws.
So don't bother trying,
to put up a fight,
Cause no matter the man,
the woman's always right.

Diary Disease

lonely
I faced my pain.
Around me was,
many things like:
doctor advices ,
friends wishes,
sisters cries.
But all of these without effect.
Although it was
Nice and warm.

lonely..
I faced my pain.
Heart mom, was my wall.
Nothing defeats sorrow,
unless .. mother prayer.
