tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled Departure 25 years ago
I stand there, waving
these people I once knew
leaving
they don't wave back
they just look ahead
never looking
never lisining
to my crys
my crys of sorrow
for never knowing
knowing what has happened
happened to these people
these people I once knew [read more] |

tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled unfair 25 years ago
She thretens me
tempts me to let loose
I won't, I can't
I refuse to lose control
they say we abuse them
what about when they abuse us
if I react
then I will have done what she expect
and it will be my fault [read more] |
tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled Warm River 25 years ago
At the stroke of midnight the bellfree rung
in the nearby tree the lark's song sung
by warm river two sit down
on it's banks of dry grassy ground
a lightened kiss, a softened touch
a gentle glance, a whispered hush
up in the sky an eagle flys
back... [read more] |
tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled untitled 25 years ago
always expecting and never forgetting
of the man he wants me to be
can I forgive him, he wants me to be him
I don't think he will ever see
with a coming of ages I go through my stages
will I ever be me
he makes me feel sorrow that will be there... [read more] |
tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled Mind 25 years ago
Secluded in a quiet room
my tender thoughts begin to loom
images of summer spring and fall
thought of escape rise thaen fall
in the black of night a fearsome fright
a blizzards tail, a winters gale
in this box I am not afraid
this is the safest room... [read more] |
tylerbaptiste posted a new Poem titled guilt trip 25 years ago
You try to use me,
my poetry.
I can't turn it on and off
but I don't think you understand.
You try to use guilt to make me work for you
it tears me up inside
I fucking hate this life,
I wish you could just leave me be
I don't want to even look at... [read more] |

A fearsome fire pop and crackle
the chains above clink and rattle
a crippled skeleton long since dead
broken limbs and severed head
twas a village man
with but a simple plan
to take the bread

obscure posted a new Poem titled Dustbin Memories 25 years ago
In the darkest corner of the alley is where you will find me,
Slumped in a position of discomfort,
Staring at old photos, memories,
As I live my life on the streets, I think of her, of them,
Where are they now? Do they spare a thought for me?

DaddyO posted a new Poem titled "The Tortured Artist" 25 years ago
by Jeph Johnson
pity the painter whose strokes betray
brilliance battling alcohol
early ideas clear with conscience
soon became a sweeping colorstorm
even Ed Harris can replicate
still society marvels at his genius

beiyin posted a new Poem titled Whats the o for? 25 years ago
What might be an 'o' for you
is an 'O' for someone else
or just an '0' for me
Is it the whole?
or is it the nothing?
or is it both? Or just a hole?
Is it a magic circle?
or is it an open mouth?
or just a closed up space?
Is it a pearl thrown... [read more] |

you ripped right throught my heart
etched wounds, envelope my soul
words were your weapon, your spike
you entered one foggy.....dark night
a NightWalker in the shadows of my heart
I yearned to taste your mouth
your touch warmed me

karen415 posted a new Poem titled Nightdream 25 years ago
Doom like fog combs through the Devil’s Backbone
Lengthening into strands of melancholy
Dampened by sweet…sweeter tears.
Feel the missing beats stolen by fright?
Awakening, arousing the most sound?
Night sweats and dreams,
Dreams lost to the living... [read more] |
