That Is Poems - Poems about That Is

The tragedy that is myself
Perhaps I wouldn't move if the train came. Not out of courage, just curiosity. What does it feel like? or just the experience, maybe. I sit down in the shower sometimes until the water forgets it's warm and I forget I have skin. In that moment, and that moment only I think nothing but oh, I feel- I feel everything like a flood, swirling, raging inside, beating ferociously on the locked...

Love That Is True
From the sudden spark of your gaze, to the laughter shimmering through falling tears, through every tender, knowing little grace, I'm captivated by you. The way you guide my write, these words that yearn and only speak of you, in every style anew, the love that is true. For in the end it'll be just you and I, forever and always, truly loving, and I don't...

Did I ever forget you? I am destined to remember Those days we spent together Are always on my mind The ache remains ,losing you hurts There have been several others Whose presence masked the pain Parting was never sweet sorrow Opening up those wounds again Still living in my heart Will we ever meet again To renew our yearning love? Or have you met another Who now...

Premium Member There is a sadness that is born from deep knowledge
There is a sadness that is born from deep knowledge, like a shadow slipping through the cracks of the soul, a sadness that whispers the world is not a fairy tale, but a mosaic of fleeting moments, where dreams unravel like grains of sand between weary fingers. It is the melancholy of one who understands life is not a...

The Beauty that is firmly aware
Showing your beauty By your light of nature And by your inherited sincerity Nothing needs deliberate Of teaching hearts Of the judgments by eyes Of the planning by head Of the making up by hands Let them acknowledge The feelings of déjà vu Let them meet and collide To spark their skyline To light up the cool night Let the hearts dancing...

What Can I Take From The Past, That Is Not Already Here In The Future
The dusk still drapes in silver mist, The stars still bloom in skies so wide, The sea still sings its endless song, And yet, the past is locked inside. I walk where footsteps once were laid, Where voices whispered soft and low, But time has washed their echoes clean, And left me longing for their glow. The garden hums with summer's breath, The roses...

Poems to God that is 'You'
You used to scare me with your torrid schemes. My mind was a parcel for your unravelling. There was a time you used to play with its shadows, And then you said you never took sides, In War or Love! I believed you then! Now I know I was wrong. You are not to be believed, but sung! And when my eyes are...

Premium Member you think that is doable
There were forty-three pros So that is do-able, right? The job coach gave Harry the knowing look. How many cons were there? He pretended to search for the answer. One hundred and fifty-three cons, he replied. All of her tips should have him realizing one thing. She said “You thought that was do-able?” “I think I can make it work,” he replied. A job-taker...

A Valentine's that is everyday
Is it the invisible things that I love the most Or flowers and cakes and a trip to coast What is love's worth ,if not seen day by day But eagerly awaited for that daunting day Don't get me wrong, I vouch for the 14th let it be But a love felt every second, is what truly feels free A...

That is why
I have the wings, but there’s no sky, that’s why, Feathers fall if I fail to fly, that’s why. Will’s there, there’s wish, but not much can be done, Kites idle lie in windless sky, that’s why. Wealth vie within and still lands lie barren, Bare coffers cry for lack of try, that’s why. Reasons why prodigal sons waste...

A Dream That Is Not Mine
I know you will never be mine, but still, I gather the silence of the night, fold it into the shape of your smile, and close my eyes to imagine how beautiful it would be if we were together. I see us walking, your hand in mine, as if the world were a gentle breeze and not the storm it has always been. Your laughter...

A phoenix that is all-knowing
A phoenix that is all-knowing By Michelle Morris 10/12/2024 You play your wicked games And you think you have the upper hand But don't get complacent in your arrogance Because you'll never understand I only tolerated you in my life Because I am Kind and a being of Light But walking away and lighting a match Is what happens...

To Maintain
Rescheduling to allow enough time so that what had been done in 15 minutes could be done in 7;00 minutes. Re-learning the graft is how he described the doings of "Allocated Time"! in working hours are expensive. In Lescer often their isn't enough time to accomplish what you wished or planned to do. In understanding time is set aside to show how different things are. In a relationship one...
