A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;  But were we burdened with like weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain.  -William Shakespeare Action is eloquence.  -William Shakespeare And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.  -William Shakespeare And thus I clothe my naked villainy With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ; And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.  -William Shakespeare Assume a virtue, if you have it not.  -William Shakespeare Be great in act, as you have been in thought.  -William Shakespeare Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind, As man's ingratitude.  -William Shakespeare Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.  -William Shakespeare Free from gro...

by rowving I could hear me screaming I could feel my eyes twitching I could hear my breathing And I could see your face withering Like those soft velvety buds Of a tiny maple sapling That was dancing with the wind Wilting in the noon sun I could see your eyes filling up Filling up faster faster and faster I could see you trying to talk Just trying but nothing being said My heart is thumping thumping hard Someone deep inside shouting at me Enough that is enough you idiot stop But I could here me screaming....  screaming at you... Finally finally there was no more to say Making me walk away... walk away fast So I can avoid seeing your eyes Filled to the brim and your stuttering lips To walk away... away to the garden To the bench under the cypress tree The evergreen evergreen To sit... and to cry.... Hiding my head in my hands.. Darkness started seeping From under the bushes Flowing across the lawn Covering the garden My heart was empty So were my eyes Only the dried streams Sticky on my...

by bcassata  Into the sky so high The angels fly free Yet I will still hope She will fall for me. I will catch her fall Deep into my arms My heart her home Where she belongs. Her love is so deep I'll explore her sea To unlock her soul To find our destiny. Open up your heart Let me deep inside I promise to be here Whenever you cry. I can be your friend And also your lover I will be your guide You and I together. I'll be your sunlight Whenever it's dark I will be the love to Embrace your heart. This is my promise I promise to be true And forever faithful I will only love you.

by tarasunshine  It never really hit me On the day I turned away You left me with a good-bye Yet I had so much more to say With all the time you gave me It's you I never thought I'd lose It's you I did confide in I did not think I had to chose Now I see how good it was How much your love meant to me It was you all along And I was so blind not to see Some days we had our fights Some nights we talked forever But how you were my best friend Is the only love I can remember I can admit I'm wrong to you And hope you hear my heart And if you know the real me You'll know it's wrong were apart I hope you know I love you And miss my one true friend I'd do anything to take it back The day that made us end

Kay Ryan Who would be a turtle who could help it? A barely mobile hard roll, a four-oared helmet, She can ill afford the chances she must take In rowing toward the grasses that she eats. Her track is graceless, like dragging A packing-case places, and almost any slope Defeats her modest hopes. Even being practical, She’s often stuck up to the axle on her way To something edible. With everything optimal, She skirts the ditch which would convert Her shell into a serving dish. She lives Below luck-level, never imagining some lottery Will change her load of pottery to wings. Her only levity is patience, The sport of truly chastened things. from: http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/p180-list.html

Eamon Grennan At her Junior High School graduation, she sings alone in front of the lot of us-- her voice soprano, surprising, almost a woman's. It is the Our Father in French, the new language making her strange, out there, fully fledged and ready for anything. Sitting together -- her separated mother and father -- we can hear the racket of traffic shaking the main streets of Jersey City as she sings Deliver us from evil, and I wonder can she see me in the dark here, years from belief, on the edge of tears. It doesn't matter. She doesn't miss a beat, keeps in time, in tune, while into our common silence I whisper, Sing, love, sing your heart out! from: http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/054.html

Tom Wayman Nothing. When we realized you weren’t here we sat with our hands folded on our desks in silence, for the full two hours Everything. I gave an exam worth 40 percent of the grade for this term and assigned some reading due today on which I’m about to hand out a quiz worth 50 percent Nothing. None of the content of this course has value or meaning Take as many days off as you like: any activities we undertake as a class I assure you will not matter either to you or me and are without purpose Everything. A few minutes after we began last time a shaft of light suddenly descended and an angel or other heavenly being appeared and revealed to us what each woman or man must do to attain divine wisdom in this life and the hereafter This is the last time the class will meet before we disperse to bring the good news to all people on earth. Nothing. When you are not present how could something significant occur? ...

Henry Rago This house, pitched now The dark wide stretch Of plains and ocean To these hills over The night-filled river, Billows with night, Swells with the rooms Of sleeping children, pulls Slowly from this bed, Slowly returns, pulls and holds, Is held where we Lock all distances! Ah, how the distances Spiral from that Secrecy: Room, Rooms, roof Spun to the huge Midnight, and into The rings and rings of stars.

I keep on dying again. Veins collapse, opening like the Small fists of sleeping Children. Memory of old tombs, Rotting flesh and worms do Not convince me against The challenge. The years And cold defeat live deep in Lines along my face. They dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying, Because I love to live. FROM http://www.poetseers.org/

A Rock, A River, A Tree Hosts to species long since departed, Marked the mastodon. The dinosaur, who left dry tokens Of their sojourn here On our planet floor, Any broad alarm of their hastening doom Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages. But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully, Come, you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny, But seek no haven in my shadow I will give you no hiding place down here. You, created only a little lower than The angels, have crouched too long in The bruising darkness, Have lain too long Face down in ignorance Your mouths spilling words Armed for slaughter. The Rock cries out to us today, you stand on me, But do not hide your face. Across the wall of the world, A River sings a beautiful song, It says, come rest here by my side. Each of you a bordered country, Delicate and strangely made proud, Yet thrusting perpetually undersiege Your armed struggles for profit Have left collars of waste upon My shore, currents of debris upon ...

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in ...

We, this people, on a small and lonely planet Traveling through casual space Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns To a destination where all signs tell us It is possible and imperative that we learn A brave and startling truth And when we come to it To the day of peacemaking When we release our fingers From fists of hostility And allow the pure air to cool our palms When we come to it When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate And faces sooted with scorn and scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil When the rapacious storming of the churches The screaming racket in the temples have ceased When the pennants are waving gaily When the banners of the world tremble Stoutly in the good, clean breeze When we come to it When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders And children dress their dolls in flags of truce When land min...

Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don't believe I'm wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. There are some millionaires With money they can't use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They've got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone. But nobody No, nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Now if you listen closely I'll tell you what I know Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow The race of man is suffering And I can hear the moan, 'Cause nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. FROM http://www.poetseers.org/

Joe Wenderoth Somehow it got into my room. I found it, and it was, naturally, trapped. It was nothing more than a frightened animal. Since than I raised it up. I kept it for myself, kept it in my room, kept it for its own good. I named the animal, My Life. I found food for it and fed it with my bare hands. I let it into my bed, let it breathe in my sleep. And the animal, in my love, my constant care, grew up to be strong, and capable of many clever tricks. One day, quite recently, I was running my hand over the animal's side and I came to understand that it could very easily kill me. I realized, further, that it would kill me. This is why it exists, why I raised it. Since then I have not known what to do. I stopped feeding it, only to find that its growth has nothing to do with food. I stopped cleaning it and found that it cleans itself. I stopped singing it to sleep and found that it falls asleep faster without my song. I don't know what to do. I no longer make My Life do tric...

to my beloved mother by mz.ladner She’s funny, she’s sweet and she’s tough, My mother has been through a lot of stuff. She’s been a daughter, sister, wife, parent, and an aunt, She’ll show you she can do anything you say she can’t. She is as strong as a tree, as gentle as the breeze, And as lovely as the flowers beneath my knees. She hugs me tight and tells me she loves me, It is so powerful everyone can see. She is there for me whether up or down, When I do something wrong she’ll never frown. Just tells me it will be okay, And she’s there to wipe the tears away. So that’s why I love her very much, Cause she holds me in a mother’s clutch.

by poeticmo Be Thankful That you are able to see Because there are some who can’t Be Thankful That you are able to hear Because there are some who can’t Be Thankful That you are able to speak Because there are some who can’t Be Thankful That you are willing to love Because there are many that won’t Be Thankful That you are willing to care Because there are some that don’t Be Thankful That you aren’t filled with hate Because there are many who are If you remain humble And you remain thankful With a spirit like this You can go far

My dad thought me about these rhyme when i was little. I like the cat and the fiddle's rhyme. I like all of it untill now. Hope you all enjoy it. Maybe you will remember your childhood. The cat and the fiddle Hey, diddle, diddle! The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. Hush-a-bye Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top! When the wind blows the cradle will rock; When the bough breaks the cradle will fall; Down will come baby, bough, cradle and all. Baa..baa..Black sheep Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes, marry, have I, Three bags full; One for my master, One for my dame, But none for the little boy Who cries in the lane. Humpty dumpty Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the King's horses, and all the King's men Cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again. Jack and Jill Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down, and broke...

I ask you for forgivness; For what? I really do not know, I ask you for understanding; As to why? We never had a chance to grow Emotions overflowing; Everything moving so fast, Making my world a blur, Everything with you felt so right, so beautiful, and then just like that, It was over It was over - Really just what was "it" That was never meant to last? I was living in the moment Under a spell from which Your beauty cast Two people that shared A few precious moments in time together, We shared too much, too fast None of which I regret, whatsoever It was over; I think not, Maybe a new beginning to an abrupt end A new chance for us To enjoy a new friend Footprints left in the sand Can be made by anyone wherever, whenever, Footprints left in the heart Made by a friend lasts forever Two people so perfect for each other Two birds of the same feather Friends first was our promise Friends we will remain together

You're my every dream I fall asleep to Every rhythm, beating inside my heart The stars each night watching over me To guide me when I'm lost in the dark. You're my inspiration, my every word Felt so deep through the poetry I write You're the eyes that help my heart see For it's you, who gives my heart sight. It's your heart that has embraced mine Your beautiful green eyes, I am lost in Your ever tender kiss I yearn for, And It's your soft touch, gentle as the wind. Only with you love is truly everlasting You're my every desire, every passion Only with you, my heart fell so deeply You're simply everything I've imagined.

by thepeters When the world Seems to be unfair, And it seems as though Nobody seems to care. When the people you know Just somehow disappear, Whom you needed the most Just left you in tears. You cry out for someone But nobody hears, Longing for the embrace Of somebody dear. When you want all the pain To come to an end, Just come to me, I'll be your friend.

Looking through my window Out into the night Silver moon glistening Through partly cloudy skies Stars dance and twinkle As clouds drift on the wind Ever moving onward Who knows where they have been They never stop to wonder Never ask the question why Yet they have looked upon such beauty As through the heavens they do fly Oh that I could drift with them Along their starry way Forgetting the worries Of this human heart At least for just a day

If you could see inside my soul see inside my heart you would know how I long for you whenever we're apart If you could see inside my head if thoughts were things to see you would know how I cherish you how much you mean to me In all the ways you comfort me the way you hold me near the way you know just what to do to chase away my fear The sparkle in your beautiful eyes your smile, laugh, your touch are just a few of many reasons I love you oh so much Knowing I can talk to you about any and everything and knowing together we will get through whatever life may bring I could search the whole world over and this I know is true I would never find another love like the love I found with you Though with each new day, each sunrise we can't know wh...

by wallacej I am your servant I am your prince I became yours forever From that very first glance I’ve done everything I could possibly do To make you happy And show my love is true And on this day Just one month ago I asked you out And your face was aglow Now one month later We’re still together You’ve still got my heart And I’m yours forever Forever and ever Together we’ll stay No matter what it takes We’ll always find a way Through the sad times And the joyous ones in life We’ll always be together Because one day you’ll be my wife I’ll honor you always I’ll stay by your side Through sickness and health I won’t run and hide So if you’re ever worried About losing your servant Just re-read this poem and then You’ll know that I'll never leave Because I can't

by Kozaka Daily monotony, desperation Without you, there is no joy, excitement To hear your voice, a celebration The evening is open to improvement Beginning with an inquiry, sincere Demonstrating that you care, regardless How mundane my activities appear And there is no feeling of emptiness As we continue our conversation You reveal modesty and intellect Thus intensifying the attraction Along with my devotion and respect For every intangible quality You are even more beautiful to me

by Hope As my heart became a loom When creating this tapestry I had stitched threads of you As I wove them around me With loving textures blending As I connected each thread Here among my heartstrings Its woven in passionate red Love woven strand by strand With a heart devoted to you For inspiration you gave me Enhanced the colourful hue While weaving togetherness Love created a work of art Attached with forever bonds In the treasures of the heart

a story tells that two friends  were walking through the desert  During some point of the  Journey they had an Argument, and one friend  Slapped the other one  In the face.  The one who got slapped  was hurt, but without  saying anything,  wrote in the sand:  TODAY MY BEST FRIEND  SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.  They kept on walking  until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.  The one who had been  slapped got stuck in the  mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.  After he recovered from  the near drowning,  he wrote on a stone:  TODAY MY BEST FRIEND  SAVED MY LIFE.  The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend  asked him, "After I hurt you,  you wrote in the sand and now,  you write on a stone, why?"  The other friend replied  "When someone hurts us  we should write it down in sand where winds of  forgiveness can erase it away.  But, when someone does  something good for us,  we must engrave it in stone  where no wind  can ever erase it....

by Lisa Ann               It is Love that gives me purpose to change and grow and learn. It is Love that guides me on this path and helps me choose each turn. It is Love that gives me courage to stand against my fears; to open up my heart to you, to let you see my tears. It is Love that gives me trust and hope when things go wrong. When distance stands between us, it is Love that keeps me strong. It is Love that offers harmony and a friendship that is true. How wonderful that I can share a Love like this with you!

to my best friend syu..                                         You're a true friend,  that I want you to know,  Our love for each other  has helped us to grow. We've been through some tough times,  but we've made it through,  The only one I ever trusted was you.  You helped me through anger,  you've chased away fears.  You held me through sadness,  and kissed away tears. You stayed by my side  when the world turned away.  You helped me see joy  when the skies were all gray.  You were the rainbow at the end of the storm.  You help me be different  when I shouldn't conform.  You held my hand  when you knew we would fall.  Every heartache,  you saw me through it all.  I'm not sure  I'm always the best friend to you,  I know I'm not perfect,  but this much is true.  When life gets you down,  And there's nowhere to turn,  I'll help you through and  I'll share your concern.  I'll try my best to return every favor,  When you're sure that yo...

by BabyPoet    I love you for that certain smile that cheers me up when I am blue. I love you for your tenderness that warms me through and through. I love you for your kindness and understanding heart; one that always says, "I love you very much." I love you for your faith in me and your sweet, loving ways. I love you for the many things you do so often without praise. I love you for all these things and a million others too, but, most of all, for who I am whenever I'm with you.

by merhottie25 You and I are not the same, Nor will we ever be... But we have a common thread, That attaches you to me. A golden thread that's spun so fine, With so much love and care, A thread of gold, for us to hold, That only best friends can share. A common bond within our hearts, Love that's rare, a special find. An ability to feel and see, Within the heart so blind... So know my friend I'll be with you, And you shall be with A lasting friendship, full of joy, For all eternity.

by jillybean21 You never told me how you felt How deep your feelings ran I’m sorry I was blind to see What was there for me to hold My heart aches for how I hurt you The insensitivity that I showed Please know I never meant it I simply did not know I am not a perfect being As a person, I make mistakes But know that I love you It grows more each passing day Let’s put the past behind us Learn how to trust again For your heart I do not want to break But embrace for days to come I want to see this new love grow Into something more than I can imagine Please find it in your heart to forgive These past things that once took place I am awed that you have chosen me To share this time in your life I promise to give you all I have For a chance to love again

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." - Charles Caleb Colton This is for you, my best friend, the one person i can tell my soul too Who can relate to me like no other Who I can laugh with to no extents, Who I can cry too when times are tough, Who can help me with the problems of my life. Never have you turned your back on me Or told me I wasnt good enough Or let me down I don't think you know what that means to me You have went through so much pain and you still have time For me. And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying And I look up too you because you are strong, and caring and beautiful. Even though you don't think you are. And I hope you know that I am always here To listen to you laugh and cry and help In all the ways that i can And I will try to be at least half the friend you are To me. I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you. My best friend. by Anon

by Hope Keeping myself optimistic Each day begins anew Looking on the bright side That's what I had to do Half the battle can be won With self - appreciation I shall get there in the end By using determination If I cast all my doubts aside Negatives will dissapear By always having patience I continued to persevere In keeping my dreams alive I can advance confidently My self -esteem I can grow If I think more positively As I call upon inner strength Determined I have to be Confidence will be gained If I start believing in me

by heckholt The clouds slowly move Unblocking my vision Of the full, blue moon Allowing me to see the stars That I continue to wish upon I hope tonight you are safe I hope that you’re able to find the sleep That you so desperately deserve I often wonder, if at times You forget someone over here Misses you and keeps you in their prayers I wish there was some way To be held in your arms… That I could look into your eyes And let you worries disappear There isn’t much I can do Being way over here I lose sleep over thoughts of you The blankets that once surrounded me In their warmth Are now in a mess on the floor I wish you were here to take their place I look up towards the sky And let the wind take my words Through the miles …I miss you

by xJessibel Sometimes we are fools, All part of the disease That entraps and ensnares us all With such straightforward ease. Sometimes it comes too quick, Catching us all off our guard. Sometimes it's really slow Heading straight for our heart. It's a disease that is incurable, One many people seem to get. Its effects are lasting and sometimes unbearable It's something I have met. I meet it head on, not one foot moves from its spot. I'm not afraid of this disease for ill give it all I got. They say love is about taking risks, Letting down your walls and letting loose. For love can be a very great thing, Not exactly an object of abuse. So let your heart free Be willing to take the fall. The things you love the most, Are the ones that are worth it all.

by bcassata Love is more than one man's destiny It's more than one woman's dream Love is the gathering of two hearts Entwined from the mile's between. Love is the journey of our heart's Traveling into love's lonely sea In search, of our heart's purpose To provide it the shelter it needs. Love is more than one woman's hope And it's more than one man's need Love, is a stream of possibilities That opens up our heart's to dream.

by hscoffee21 We've been through a lot Together, you and me, But that confirms it even more That we are meant to be. Our love wouldn't be complete If challenges didn't arise. We know our love can last And bounce back from our past. You've always been there for me Through thick and through thin. I know if you're on my side I will always win. You complete me In every single way. Sometimes you finish things I'm trying to say. You are my other half. The true love of my life. I hope one of these days For you to be my husband, and I your wife.

by Aiden08 I'm not her first love, nor is she mine A secondhand love can be truly divine Knowing each other has been loved before And you both are ready to be loved once more Secondhand love knows it's way around And avoids situations where hurt is found Learning from the mistakes in it's past A secondhand love is more likely to last Secondhand love feels fresh and brand new And that you're ecstatic you know is true No doubts at all not a single regret This secondhand love could be your best yet And if you're sharing a secondhand love There is nothing at all to be ashamed of Love is love whether it's old or new I'm glad my love my secondhand love is you
