Poetry Tuesday – A Gathering of Friends #poetry #poem #tuesday #poetrytuesday #amwriting
The time is upon us once again When shorter days mark another year’s end. “Not enough hours in the day” Is often all we have to say. Commercialism and materialism Seem to cloud true holiday realism. Impatience in the checkout line, Illegal parking by a no parking sign, Running and rushing from here to there, […]

Poetry Tuesday – A Secret of Beauty Remained Untold #poetry #poem #amwriting #tuesday
Where runs a mystery, My bleeding heart strays, Trying to seek a cure To put my mind at ease. There in the shadows Lies hidden in the dusk All that I find precious, Which others don’t understand. All the most amazing jewels Lie hidden for millions of years In a dull facade of rock, But […]

Poetry Tuesday – Inverted Reflections of Reality #poetry #poem #writing #tuesday
The events of my life mirror themselves On the water of the static river. No water flows. When I look at the whole picture And reflect upon my arrival at this point, Images aren’t what they seem, Appearing to encompass my entire life. When I try to fit them into reality, These non-superimposable, seeming-only memories […]

Poetry Tuesday – To… #poem #poetry #amwriting
To love, but to not be able to show it, To hate, but to pretend to love, To want to cry, but to smile for a while, To want to smile, but to break down in tears, To be quiet, but to scream from within, To scream, but to remain silent, To want out, but […]

Poetry Tuesday – Love and Pain #poem #poetry #amwriting
In the pouring rain, Only then do I see That love can win over pain, And you still love me. The past has been set, But the future does remain. There is nothing I regret. From you I won’t refrain. Life is never clear With what it really means To live without any fear, But […]

Poetry Tuesday – The Jagged Rocks Below
Looking down over the edge And into the canyon below, Life looks different now. It is a beautiful day. The sky is pure sky, And the sun is shining high. The birds sing sweetly In the rustling trees, But that is all above her As her eyes see The jagged rocks below. Looking down […]

Poetry Tuesday – I Am… #poem #poetry #tuesday #writing
I am alone. There you see me Surrounded by a million people, But I am alone. I am sad. There you see me Smiling and telling jokes, But I am sad. I am angry. There you see me Calmly telling everyone it’s okay, But I am angry. I am confused. There you […]

Poetry Tuesday – The Rhyme Has Died
Do not be fooled by silence. She’s screaming inside. This searing pain is her vice. Behind pleasure it does reside. She sits on a broken fence, A smiling mask to hide, Show the world the nice, But in comes the tears’ tide. Wash, bury, then from whence Remains, bleached bones outside. Roll the lucky dice. […]
