poem by Sarah Feldmann

I stood in front of you, so you could be safe While I took your enemy’s fire I gave you my coat in the cold, so I could see you smile While I froze in the frigid winds I gave you my umbrella in the rain, so you could be dry... Read more

Come back, you are not too far wanderer Please, do not walk away where the hunters’ hide in the dark and wait to kill you Come home, we wait for you with arms out wide We forgive you. We care about you. We love you. Plea... Read more

poem by Michael Zayas

Reminiscing of the pain and sorrow I find, While conveying their meanings upon the written line. But this paper is tired of recording my teachings Realizing there's no audience these words are reaching. So I write and scribble ... Read more

poem by Misti D Lovelace

Press you to my lips and shoot you down. That's what I was thinking but your to much for me to chew. I love you like you are don't ask why, I just do. You make me do my happy dance. You make me smile, you make me take a chance. Yo... Read more

poem by Hannah Waring

I was born underneath a tree. An oak tree with a thick and climbable trunk and lots of branches to play on. I carved my name into it. This was my home. Under this tree is where I grew up. I became lithe and tough from climbing ... Read more

With the rise of the moon, Comes the promise of infinity, Tomorrow has never felt so distant, Yesterdays brightness, So muted with disconnect, I stand before an ocean of possibility, Each wave, Promising fulfilment, Satiety...... Read more

poem by Unburdened Thinking

The last dregs of sanity, Stripped from my core, Descent into madness, Imminent, I crave release, Absolute undoing, And yet, On each adventure, Lured by promises of freedom, I return, To the cage, From which I first escaped. Read more

The sky cracked, and out flowed an explosion of color. Hues of blue and magenta. Colors of cool and warmth. An eternity of beauty landing in the midst of only only One moment. Read more

poem by FB Lindsey

Thump-thump-thump A foggy haze. Moving bodies It feels warm in here. Or is it just me? Darkness. Then light. Pulsating. Excuse me. My bad. Thump-thump-thump Who is that? Squint. Lean against the rail. Look cool. You want anoth... Read more

poem by Susanna Fitzpatrick

From the place beyond description - The Otherworld below and above and around you, Where I was more than a phantom Of a life once rich with physicality, I emerge slowly, a mist. The annual memory of senses Takes my essence by ... Read more

poem by Paige Stewart

The night and I understand one another We both come alive when the sun goes to bed While the rest of the world closes its eyes, we open ours It’s freeing to feel the darkness of the night wrap around me I feel protected by... Read more

poem by Fadrian Bartley

I travelled to a mountain And experience the beautiful creations with curving fountains Tree that dance with the traveling winds, And flying fowls how lovely they sings, I sat upon a rock, And all the things that crawls have me ... Read more

Crickets sounding their enchanting sound. Peeper choruses from the pond, finely tuned, while Bullfrogs barup their baritone song. Swooping bats devouring, warm breezes dancing. Owl hoots deep in the woods. Coyotes h... Read more

poem by chel scott

Have you ever seen the moon reflect, like diamonds on the sea? Or heard a new born baby's cry? These are miracles to me. Ever seen the warm sun fight, to keep the night at bay? Heard the birds greet the morn? As this is natures... Read more

poem by chel scott

I have seen many a splendid thing, trinkets and treasures so nice, but never a substance so mystifying, this miracle of nature, ice. I see things of silver and gold, but they come at such a price, in my mind, there is nothing ... Read more

poem by chel scott

The wings of a butterfly, so colourful, delicate. I watch the sun reflecting, blues, yellows, brilliant whites. Gliding, arching, swaying, caught on a summer breeze. Twirling, swirling, curling, what a dazzling sight. So daint... Read more
