Pride: Sweet Glory, Steep Fall by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Pride: Sweet Glory, Steep Fall

me a reader by trade a teacher by day an artist at night quite confused, my plight a lover by noon or when I'm talking to you a thinker always and I'm counting my blessings persuasive and narcissistic gay, but not in the full sense of it tender and kind but vain sometimes not quite right because I build myself up to such a height needing to change and not knowing the way or not wanting to recognize that I drove her away with pride sweet glory steep fall

A Holy Palmer's Kiss by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

A Holy Palmer's Kiss

By the moonlight, by the sea, I heard you call out to me Like a distant jungle beat Getting louder as we meet. But reaching the crescendo Proved to be so bittersweet Since our fickle Fate’s maestro Chose, quite suddenly, defeat. A passing glance, a lingering look – That’s all we had but that’s all it took. With a palmer’s kiss, we parted. Ending what we both barely started. I’m not a delusional wrecker Nor do I have any plans to be. And I won’t ask you for forever ‘Coz I don’t believe in Destiny. But I believe in you. And I believe in me. And I believe in us... And all that we co

To the Depths by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

To the Depths

I sway like a koi into an ethereal pond Fabric flowing in an enigmatic stream Hair contorted within waves of ballet As words ascend to boil at the surface Limbs flutter in a desperate inundation Lips quelled and cried nothing but bubbles Life submerges with turbulent convulsions Light cascades against the overwhelming deep Cerulean pulses throughout the oceanic cosmos A quivering soul among the nautical enigma Once a tellurian, now merged with Davy Jones A perpetual acquaintance of the briny deep

Pulling Heartstrings by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Pulling Heartstrings

My heart is frantic like a rampant storm Aching with desire that rumbles like thunder Its pace is harmonious like the steady rain The rhythm caught within the tempestuous winds This outburst of longing shrills my consideration Confusing my rationality with meager fantasies But the essence of this affection numbs my misery And my senses muffle from the intoxication of lust Adoration is a shroud for the mind’s wants and needs A coat fashioned with silk and satin of enticement This yearning drowns reality with hopes and dreams Leaving sensibility to suffocate within the fog of passion

In The Arms Of The Angels by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

In The Arms Of The Angels

In The Arms Of The Angels When I wished my end would be near The angels’ voice I did hear. The day was dark and rainy When they came to save my sanity Listening to the radio I was, But wait, there was a pause. In the traffic there of. The angles were there when I was young Though it may be hard to believe for some. See they were there, In the moments I didn’t think I could bear Through the torture. In the fear. With the emptiness. In their arms, the only comfort I feel. Throughout the madness. In the night. From the wreckage. Came light. When I was falling to my death They were there to catch my breath. When th

Bamboozle by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Bamboozle

It’s the fool that lays in the briers While regarding the day in dream Gazing to the butterfly’s wings Wondering when the rain will come It’s the fool that sniffs the poison ivy Thinking it would smell of roses Skipping merrily through the patches While scratching at the swollen hives It’s the fool that falls in love blindly With heart and soul in either grasp Presenting them both with open arms Believing the receiver has clean hands

Welcome to Hell by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Welcome to Hell

This world, it festers with the mold of humanity Life, once prolific, now splattered on the sidewalk Aimless innocence expires on the unbiased boulevard Consuming the faith and security of a trusting nation This putrid existence vomits from the fabrications of trust Hope is no more than a bullet in the heads of the valiant No one is allowed clemency, not from the demons of Humankind Not in this jungle of civilization, not on these streets of America

Two Lovebirds by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Two Lovebirds

Two Lovebirds Two lovebirds Sitting on a perch Side by side Wing to wing Feathers are as Bright as the sun Faces with a touch Of lightly colored red Kissing each other With their orange breaks Eating their food, mixed With seeds and nuts together Stroking each other With their red-yellow heads Ruffling up each others feathers Gently with their beaks Two lovebirds Who love each other Two lovebirds Who never want to be apart

Friends by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Friends

Do you know what friends are? I asked you yesterday No, I do not And then you turned away Do you want to know what friends are! I cried out in alarm Yes, I truly do Friends are people that will never do you harm Friend will laugh with you, cry with you They'll even share your pain Why do they care so much? Because friends are like a stain! Friends will stick by you And never leave you alone They'll help you right your way And make your future your own! I want a friend But they'll never see. You already have a friend And that friend is me!

One Less Friend by Potential-Poets, literature

I'll Always Stay by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

I'll Always Stay

A picture is worth a thousand words But what if you don't smile? Or if you wear a mask That you have worn all the while. Is that pisture still worth a thousand? Or did it dwindle down to one hundred Can we even count it as a picture If the mask was left unshed. Why do I get the feeling That this face is real. Depressed, angry, envy Is what you truly feel I want to know who did it Who made you feel this way Oh, then let me teach you how to smile Because your friend I'll always stay.

Friends Never Let Go by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Friends Never Let Go

Friends Never Let Go Why do we stay? Why do we go? Why do we ask, When we already know? Why do we cry, When loved ones are slain? Why do we fight? So others feel our pain? Why do I write? Why do you sing? Why do they dance, Like birds on the wing? The answer is simple, If you look in your heart. We begin to doubt ourselves, And our lives fall apart! We make a mask, Train our windows well. So no one may know What feelings truly dwell. That can all change, If someone figured out. Why our expression was the same, Why we could never even shout. Please let the mask down! Let every feeling show! You were never alone! Fr

Queen of the World by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Queen of the World

In her little world, popularity is the key So if you don't have it, you need to leave As she walks down the hall, she demands everyone to move If you don't then you have something to prove Her hair is as blonde as Britney Spears's And it looks like no pimple has appeared She always wears clothes that are currently in style All the guys say she has the perfect smile I see her everyday, with the same group of friends They will be her "followers" until the end We meet eye to eye before she turns and laughs She knows that I'm not part of her staff She believes she is queen of the world But she's only ruler of her own little world Wh

Love is a mess by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

Love is a mess

Sitting here in the darkness, Thinking that love is such a mess. What was I getting myself into, Still missing you. Never thinking it would end this way, With sorrow and betray. They all say you weren't worth my heart, But that tore us apart. I'm rotting here, Trying to escape my deadly fear. But I'm still dreaming of your face, Hoping you will take me to a better place. Love is a mess, Some find it useless. But my heart keeps goin', Life gets better as we know. Everyone was wrong, I know where my heart belongs. They can't take away my love, Not even the God above.

When you look into my eyes by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

When you look into my eyes

.When you look into my eyes. When you look into my eyes, I wonder what you find, Can you feel the love, That I hold for you, Can you feel joy, Your presence gives me, Can you feel the peace, That only you can bring me, What is it that you see, Do you see, What I would do for you, The blood I would spill, To see you safe, Do you see, The fear I hold, Of what this world has done to you, Of the things I cannot fix, And of the peace I cannot give you, Do you see, The understanding that you do not return these feelings, The resignation to let you go, And the determination to stand by you, These are the questions that plagu

This Beast Inside by Potential-Poets, literature

Literature

This Beast Inside

This Beast Inside This beast inside, I love him so, And yet, I cannot show, For in this world, In which we dwell, He is hated, And he is hunted, But he is me, And I am him, When one is gone, We are none, So in this world, In which he must hide, I am dead, Nothing but a shell, Waiting, Hoping, That one-day, In this world in which we dwell, That I will find, The one who I may show, This Beast inside.

Crush by KittyRose, literature

Literature

Crush

Something in the way you smiled Made me weak in the knees My cheeks would blush a scarlet red Like a wild drum, my heart started to beat rapidly If you ever looked my way I hid my face in shyness While giggling softly like a preteen Smiling from cheek to cheek I can only imagine, you and me Hand in hand, walking the streets of Paris Side by side without a care in the world Proclaiming to everyone our love for each other You serenade to me the most beautiful love song No words can describe how magical your voice is Those deep, harmonious tones can tame the wildest beast Each angelic note is as heavenly as the next one But this

Hey love by danodano, literature

Literature

Hey love

Hey love, how's it been lately? We haven't seen each other, or talked to each other, and basically, I just miss you. Hey love, today I saw a picture that reminded me of you a lot so I'm writing lines to you because I can't talk to you. Hey love, I know you miss me too and you feel lonely sometimes and so do I, you know it, I wish I could see you again. Hey love, when times get gray and you want me to be with you read this crappy poem over and over 'til you feel me. Hey love, I'm going to bed now hoping I can see you tomorrow, but, am I hoping too much, love? Yes I am, and it hurts.

Nothing left. by danodano, literature

Literature

Nothing left.

Heavy breathing. Hot air. A naked wall before me. And no hope for tomorrow. Sigh. There's nothing left. Close my eyes tightly. Pinch my arms, my cheeks. Can't wake up. 't's not a dream. Raindrops. There's nothing left. I give up. Can no more. Tried enough. Tried too hard. Look for someone. 'm alone. Silence. There's nothing left. Desperation. Anxiety. Shut the lights. Go to bed. Close my eyes, try to dream. Scream. There's nothing left.

Sinful love by danodano, literature

Literature

Sinful love

All what you provoke in me all of what I see in you all of what is between us all of it is a sin. How I envy your life and I want to be part of it; how I want you for my own and out of anyone's reach. How I'm too lazy to make a move and I just sit and wait for you; How you're in my wildest dreams and all my lustful thoughts. How I want more and more out of each and every kiss; How I change my looks everyday just to make you like me more. And how angry I can get when I wake up and you're not there; How love can be between us, how it all is a sin.

Enough by danodano, literature

Literature

Enough

"Enough" I used to love you with all of my heart in every possible way and every single day. I used to cry each and every night because you weren't here but I've stopped the tears. I tried to call you, to talk to you but you avoid me, you reject me. Why should I keep loving you? Give me one good reason for me to stay around to worship you and to cry for you. To make you feel good? To lift you up when you're down? And what about me, love? who's going to be there for me? You're just selfish you ask for favours and turn your back on me. You lie to me. It's enough now I'm done with pain I'm over it, I'll forget it, but

I apologize for not keeping up with the club lately, I have been extremely busy and haven't had much time to get everything done that was necessary. I am going to try to start managing the club on a daily basis once again, and if this doesn't work out, I will turn over management of the club to some one else. I will begin submitting the poems that have been in my inbox forever, so for now, please do not submit anymore poems. I have my hands full enough with the poems I haven't submitted yet. This is only temporary; Once I've submitted all the poems that are in my inbox, I will post a journal entry so everyone will know when it is okay to subm
