I have even cried when I have written sad or tragic situations for some of my characters.

A beautiful flower in a bed of weeds
Standing alone as they grow their incestuos seeds You grow stronger, but the weeds grow too By now they cover,smother and entangle you Coming at you from every angle,But still you resist their daily strangle Without you my beautiful flower,there would only be a bed of weeds |

Nothingness
The clouds break, shattering to reveal, the black cradle, that cups the stars. My lungs spread, breathing in the razor sharp air, letting it pierce the soft flesh, till they deflate. I cry, with the memory of joy, and let time wash over me, cleaning my mind. As the trees shadows, melt and begin to rain, I am swallowed, up into the nights embrace, I can do nothing, but submit to the eerie, sensation, of being one with the stars, shining bright, in this nothingness.

I remember this poem called Death is nothing at all. I was given it from the vicar after my mother died many years ago. It has a beautiful message.
Here it is. Death Is Nothing At All. Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other That we are still Call me by my old familiar name Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we always enjoyed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort Without the ghost of a shadow in it Life means all that it ever meant It is the same as it ever was There is absolute unbroken continuity What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost One brief moment and all will be as it was before How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again! |

Reflection
I look up and you are there Sometimes it's just a glance Sometimes it's a meaningful stare Sometimes you looked concerned Sometimes I think you just don't care Sometimes I think your the hound Sometimes you think I'm the hare Sometimes your covered in layers Sometimes I'm laid out bare Sometimes I look at you and I see myself!!!

I wrote and presented this for a poetry slam at my school. I didn't win, but did receive a high mark and praises for it.
You You’re usually fine when we are together, But at home, When you’re alone, I know that you’re not okay. You hate yourself, like I hate this planet, You think that everything you do, Every word you say, Every movement, and heart beat, Is a mistake. But you’re wrong! To me, The words you speak are poetry, And the moves you make are your own unique dance, I celebrate every single heartbeat, Because as long as it beats, You are mine. Darling, if you were a mistake, You’d be the best one I’ve ever made. No, your problems don’t hurt me, I can’t blame you for what is going on in your beautiful mind. I remind you countless times, That I too have been there, That yes, many people have those types of thoughts, That many people have felt the same thing as you and I, You, are not alone. I am not hurt, But it saddens me, That you cannot see the amazing person I do, That you are hurting, And I am fine, Sitting at my desk, wasting time doing things that mean nothing to me. Every experience of depression is different, You are affected a different way than someone else. For many, It slowly finds you at your most vulnerable, Like a leach at the lake, It snatches on, You never noticing, it sucks everything good away, And replaces it with demons and nightmares. There’s always a sense of, I’m depressed, But usually, when that occurs, It’s already too late to call for help. For you, it has made you believe that your biggest mistake, is your own existence… Would you know, if the closest person to you, Believed that their own existence was a mistake? That the world would be a better place without them? Probably not, because the people who think this, Can never bring their voices up, To say it. They are so scared, That none of the words come out, And it’s just a battle in their minds, So they revert to any fashion of getting the demons out, Like writing or typing words down that have meaning at the moment, But in a year time, Might be seen as attention seeking? To those of us who know, The ones that have been there, We can tell the difference between the millions of dark images of a girl's slit wrist, with the caption ‘I’m fine’, From an actual cry for help. You are fine, when we're together, But at home, When you are alone, I know you're not okay.

A day the birds refused to sing
The stillness of your face A fragment of my heart removed, vacated, empty space Heart wrenching cry, a kiss goodbye I search but cannot find Could the hands upon a clock so easily rewind? To be with you, to hold your hand and guide you to your light and know the battle had been won Although you lost the fight They say you're in a better place but this I cannot see What better place than on this earth right here, right now with me The birds are singing once again Sweet messangers of song I hear the whisper of your voice 'I'm here my love, be strong' |

Hello peeps, I've not been in the forum for a long time and remember about the poetry forum, I love to write poetry.
I am a carer and I wrote this with the elderly in mind. I hope you like it Duty of Care Dark nights are upon us Yes, Winter’s on it’s way Our fires will burn brightly To keep the cold at bay But what about the old folks Who can’t afford the bills They’ll shiver in their homes Hypothermia sometimes kills Some may be so lonely As no one ever calls They just sit in their rooms Looking only at four walls Lets think about our old folk That may be feeling sad A little call upon them Then they may not feel so bad As fellow human beings We have a duty of care To make our old peoples day A little easier to bear A small amount of our time Could bring a smile upon their face Making them feel happy Restoring faith in the human race ©

I was walking on a path in the mountains, and was inspired to write this...
The air is fresh, Feeding the lungs with each lush breath. The calm, soothing silence, of a forest well aware. Waiting, anticipating, for something to appear. It's breath held in, as I exhale gently. We in turn, wait for the other, no need to hurry, Time is slowing down.

A Year Ends
And so, it ends The year, my friends It ends how it begun Better believe it, my son Too many celebs died They tried to hide But Death got them all They heard the call. But not let's all be glum Feel lucky, my chum You're still alive and well Go out and tell The world you're still here And raise a glass of beer. |

Remembering Mother
As Mothers Day approaches I’m feeling awful sadness But then when I look back That feeling turns to gladness The gladness that I feel Is because you were my Mother If I could have chosen one Wouldn’t wanted any other You see my dearest Mother You had kindness in your eyes Your heart was full of love And you were always oh so wise You taught me kindness matters How to spread much love and care You gave out cuddles daily And you were always there Whilst I cannot give you cuddles now I hope from Heaven that you see I’m doing all I can To be the best person I can be Thank you my beautiful Mother For teaching me right from wrong As I lay flowers at your grave I’ll sing you a beautiful song I Love & Miss You Mummy ©Tozzie

Your World
BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Your world is as big as you make it. I know, for I used to abide In the narrowest nest in a corner, My wings pressing close to my side. But I sighted the distant horizon Where the skyline encircled the sea And I throbbed with a burning desire To travel this immensity. I battered the cordons around me And cradled my wings on the breeze, Then soared to the uttermost reaches With rapture, with power, with ease! Iconic

A little poem I wrote myself
YOU AND I You and I Our love, is true. Like the one between the sun, And the moon. Where the sea meets the sky There we'll be, You- and I. Last edited by Wizard.; 13-01-2020 at 05:22 PM. |
