I Said It

Real life aint
no drama 
with some 
distant applause
it is an 
inconvenient cause

I said it
happy or sad
let us be moved

I only care about the truth
I only care about real life
I only care about me, not you
I really don't care what you do care about

In real-life you go to court
   when you're sure you'll win the case

Otherwise, it costs too much 
   ~ no thoughts of saving face

Real life - evanescent and fleeting.

Hard Life Light Poetry

When real life
             it presents me heavy task,
             I promptly soften       
               it with
              light poetry... !

Getting to say it 
In this real life
Even if we said it

To each other
Without saying it
 To each other

While saying it
To each other.

Premium Member Intrigued By Mystery Woman

she stepped out of the shadows and wowed me.
I had never seen such beauty in real life, only on the big screen.
I followed her around, making up stories.

Premium Member Poetess

Although I always aspire to be a well-known poet,
Ironically in real life, nobody knows it,
But at least I have been writing my own life story bit by bit.

Chess may be a game
However hard it may be
Each move critical
Similar to a real life
Seeking a mate in the end

jungle jerry had no real life
one day he flung his suits into the fire
burned silk ties and designer shoes
headed for remote island
where he could simply live

Real life murder mysteries all day long,
in the company of me, myself and I.
Oh, my, it's getting dark outside!

A Sleeping Martyr

In the hotel room
You feel more at home

You sleep better without

Without anything
Without everything

Without real life

Depriving yourself 
As martyrs often do

Life Dilemma

Shining for sometimes as stars 
And fading on fans keeping far 
Common in the Sky of cinema

Role to role in real life 
All playing in many dramas 
Setting stages to dilemmas

Advice To You

Real life waits you.
Only you can make the 
Decision. You definitely 
Need to be praying and studying the Word
Everyday because 
You gifts and a call on your life.

What a Life

Floating on fluffy clouds
Soaring like there's no tomorrow
Entering the outer limits
Where anything is possible
Back to real life
I'm off the cloud
I'm on my pillow
And I'm wide awake

The Creaking

small and selfish.
When someone I know dies
they own the awe.
I sit and wait
not knowing what to do.
my self
shrinks,
smaller and
alone with tiny
arguments, in a miniature
model of my real life.

In Real Life

in real life you're not real
I got the idea of being there
I constructed myself at your being
I gave myself in your image
I was given up
far from happy psychoanalysts
faithful to your beauty

Real Life Hero

Doom 
Resounds in his head. 
Until today he
Gave up everything.  

And today he 
Dug his heals into the 
Dirt. He gave it all to give
In. Tomorrow will be worse than what
Claims him
Today.

The Nature of the Poets

In different forests,
 there live poets...
They are trees, they are plants...
Some are full of fruits,
others full of thorns,
some offer shadows,
others just haunt...
Just as in real life...!

Premium Member Fifteen Second Fame

Acclaim and fame
sudden
as a March wind,
so quickly
               fade..
pale
      under scrutiny
on closer inspection:
gilded hoops
through which
to jump,
into
the bracket
of
real life

Premium Member Real-Life True Story

   Once I wrote a really good poem
      My teacher wrote

   ‘Lightning doesn’t strike twice, Sam’
      A 'D' in the course spurred my belated reply ~
                                 ‘I know, ma’am’

Vincent Price played many evil characters on the screen. In so many horror films, this actor would be seen. There's one undeniable fact nobody can deny: In real life, he was a very nice guy!
