What Poems - Poems about What

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...

My grandmother's hands knew things mine have forgotten, how to make bread rise, how to hem a dress so it would last. She saved everything: buttons in mason jars, stories in the space between stirring and serving, love in the way she said my name. This is what we lose when we move too fast, the slow art of remembering,...

Late at night, when silence drapes...

Lyricism of wisteria ruses…peacocking muses gushing tomes Classicism flocking..roams & woos homes not garden gnomes Colourful creepers cruising..schmoozing with boisterously blushing bricks Spring exudes mysticism..oozes oodles of bamboozling serendipity flushing Cherished fingers rushing freely..delivers..unctuous ravishingly rambunctious Relished slivers lavishly lingers..embellished..proudly protrudes Inspires rhyming platitudes about gratitude...fires fresh Attitudes across a range of altitudes & latitudes Sprinkling wryly of vintner's drily sparkle...ends strange debacle...

Unlike the headlines in their tabloids This land was not a den of thieves Not orphans begging at their gates Nor lazy minds with rolled-up sleeves It’s home to those with skin like night But hearts that shine a like gold Its people brave and its stories bold Their wisdom deep and their spirit bright It holds a culture vast and admirable A place...

I don't want to imply that it was bad. but what I've seen is drenched in black. And I don't want to feel this way for you. So scrape me out of you, and I'll lead you out of me. I don't want to live this way for you. Only time will tell how this will end there's to many scars...

Do you ever Do to yourself What you've done to others So you know the pains That comes with it It's so crazy Very lazy acting without thinking.

What we think we know From the history book as we grow About how we become humans Might just be a grain of sand in a desert Religion taught of the creation A good will of a bigger being Who from dust mold, better carves The most intelligent thing on Earth. Early scientists say we evolve From ape-like creatures, bushy hairs Transformed from round...

What does it mean to witness suffering and feel it burn inside you, not as gentle empathy, but as a deep-rooted and screaming indictment? There is a boy who carries cement as I carry metaphors — without question, without choice, without allowing himself the luxury of another option, only with a resignation sculpted in silence. He is not a...

Whatever You Feed It Grows Do you feed the negative? Don’t become pessimistic. Narrow minded. One sided. You can’t grow from always complaining. This is not up-lifting. Don’t hold onto the temptation. Leave the old ways behind. Don’t push people away. Hard road, age will turn gray. To grow is to change. I’ve always been...
