When the children cry do we even bother to ask why?
To the mother all alone holding onto her strength to try
Do we truly take the time
To acknowledge and brighten their day with a simple smile?
To the man all alone
Do we pray he finds his... – by Amanda K lessig (Sunshine) | added by amandak

undergrounds bunker scramble
fire scars breech unknown heat limits

Prose and its narrative
the lazy alternative
Words most abundant
meaning defined
Declarative function
it reads codependent
As poets but smile

They tried to tie me down and tame me
God cut the ropes
I was made to be this way
I am who I am
I was born a mess
Mad at the world from the beginning
No one to trust
No one to guide me to the positive

“when I’m with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright..”
On a good day, there’s color to your cheeks along with a smile

Now the daggered hearts statue remains
Dry tears wilting on empty years
Trapped in memories crashing waves
Always ending the same
Slow motion draining
Heartbeats crooked step
Waining in the languid hours
Stolen in gravities pull

Dancing eyes softly wait
Shining beauty radiating
Balancing in the moonbeams
Many a sailor's eyes have tried
To untie Stella's steadfast heart
Bound to oceans rocky shores
His eyes stirred her deepest feelings
Longing for his long tender... – by Hunter Aydelott | added by Huntero

In the trenches of war, you fought so brave,
A soldier tormented, facing demons you couldn't stave.
Mental trauma gripped your soul so tight,
Yet, you persevered, through the darkest night.
With wounds unseen, you came back home,
Haunted by... – by Arie Castle | added by ArieCastle

But painters prefer polka dots,
But shaking paint just right
So dots stay round and tight

You do not need me to write you,
When concerning brotherly love;
It has been taught by God as true,
Through the blessings from up above.
Love one another we were taught,
All brothers and sisters indeed;
Do this more to increase your thought,... – by Richard Newton Sherrer | added by richardnsherrer

Fingers
woven together by the crevices,
like stitches carefully sewn in
between the fabricated skin.
Quiver from a touch of another,
but from healing caress,
with childlike purity.
Fragile canvaslike material coated gently... – by jonesz | added by jonesz
