high on a pedestal one day, kissing the dirt the next, the balance keeps tilting from the good to the bad; nobody said life would be easy and simple, but nobody said life can be so hard, struggling through a hazy cloud of confusion, life seems a bitch;

every night i close my eyes and try to forget the life as it is meaningless, void, confused and stuck in a race that no one wins; me versus the world, fighting for what is not worth fighting for, through chaos, underneath a stormy cloud, for happiness etched only in paper;

no emotion, no pain and, no happiness, just a haunted emptiness; yelling and screaming, hiding behind closed doors, watching life pass by with my empty eyes; alone i sit, in the grip of darkness,... --- ### Escape into the Shadows - Published: 2011-07-31 - Modified: 2011-08-01 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/escape-into-the-shadows/ - Categories: Sad Poems - Tags: pain, sad, shadows I tried too hard to be noticed, I tried to be someone  I was not;

I brush and stroke the keys to lay the words down in front of me, I keep on painting until I get a good end result!

It lies within us, as a shadow unseen, It flows before us, as a newborn stream, We stand in its wake, and follow its course, Wherever it leads, we, are its source. With force untold, it continues to flow, And in time, blankets the earth, An ocean knows no foe. Aye, this spirit, which you have named, No prison it... --- ### We Belong? - Published: 2010-01-24 - Modified: 2010-01-20 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/we-belong/ - Categories: Friendship Poems Some things, are not meant to last.

Old photographs left alone in an ancient album conveying, love, family, friendship in Past happy occasions. Previous flashbacks recalling, dreadful, frightening moments.

The pain throughout the mundane night, Was extremely unbearable, I tread on pieces of broken glass, With not even a splinter of glass for succour. The day is worse & I dread its light, It is worse than the horrifying night. The days have passed when light was welcome, Now it is highly unwelcome. This horrendous time has taken its toll, Gone is the day when I was on a roll.

Who could have made these circles? It could only be the Pebbles of the sea. The tiny surface of hard cold stones wept across the soft, sizzling land of golden gravel, no single life has ever touched the sea’s treasures, wonder why? If a soul innocently puts a tiny toe on just the tip of the sea’s possessions, the sea’s wrath would rage against the poor soul. He would order his mighty army of gnashing tides... --- ### Pandemonium - Published: 2009-10-23 - Modified: 2009-10-21 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/pandemonium/ - Categories: Life Poems The old order changeth, yielding place to the new, But the new generation ?

A changing face, an transition stage in my life. Taking new challenges and walking different routes, to reach my ultimate destination. Over coming obstacles that, may cut into my life. Looking through the light that guides me to the right direction. Gazing at all the souls blissfully walking, down my road wearing smart suits, and grasping each and every, Opportunity to achieve their goals. Seeing what was once a single race leading, the country, which now has become, a multiracial community. Glancing at the vehicles striding by I spot only... --- ### Friends Today - Published: 2009-10-21 - Modified: 2009-10-21 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/friends-today/ - Categories: Friendship Poems Even when they meet us, they pass without a greeting; These very friends; our food had been eating. Those who were very close to us and our relations; Now, have decided to change their stations. Those for whom we bore the brunt of neglect, Are today, pessimism personified and perfect. For those who we gave up half our lives; The result was just a bundle of knives. How we regret the day we met, Today, we just regret & regret. However, we did learn one thing; Friendship is not the song that everyone can sing. --- ### Patience Is A Girl Who Inherited The World - Published: 2009-10-21 - Modified: 2009-10-15 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/patience-is-a-girl-who-inherited-the-world/ - Categories: Life Poems Build me a day and take it away destroy my capacity I love you automatically When it happens you'll know the sky will rumble the earth will crumble your spirit held high will manifest and die I told you I'm trouble six feet deep I told you I'd be there enough to almost care I told you to sleep and me to keep I'll give you fame and tell you you're to blame you'll wear it like your name you'll never see me again I'm in a far off place dead to the human race Hang me on a cross... --- ### I Have Many Faces - Published: 2009-10-15 - Modified: 2020-03-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-have-many-faces/ - Categories: Life Poems - Tags: women Close your eyes. . picture me. .

The thought of losing you makes my heart grow still; Your touch tells me I’m home, when you hold me, all of the world fades away and TIME... --- ### If I Could - Published: 2007-12-03 - Modified: 2010-11-01 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/if-i-could/ - Categories: Life Poems If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you, And share with you its beauty The days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call it your very own. A place to find serenity, A place to be alone.

I cannot build you a mountain Or catch you a rainbow fair, But let me be what I do best, A friend that's always there. --- ### Do You Still Have Hope - Published: 2007-12-03 - Modified: 2007-12-03 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/do-you-still-have-hope/ - Categories: Life Poems If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope...

The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow; She draws her favors to the lowest ebb; Her tides have equal times to come and go; Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web; No joy so great but runneth to an end, No hap so hard but may in... --- ### A New Day - Published: 2007-11-29 - Modified: 2021-10-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/a-new-day/ - Categories: Life Poems This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use as I will. I can waste it, or use it. I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy, its beauty and its achievements, or it can be filled with pettiness. What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but I shall hold something which I have traded for it. It may be no more than a memory, but if it is... --- ### Like A Valiant Sailor - Published: 2007-10-12 - Modified: 2007-10-12 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/like-a-valiant-sailor/ - Categories: Life Poems Like a valiant sailor, I brave through the waters of life, The current so strong, the current of wrong, of pain, of sorrow... Pulling me in, plunging me in the depths of sin. The turbulent ocean, the intimidating skies, I am alone... . Alone, to navigate my way home... Searching... . searching for terrain ... I know I am lost, Lured away with the amplification of the mysterious seas, The distinction between right and wrong... as far apart as north and south Heading in one direction alone... it’s my call... I am the Captain of my ship... I cannot see... --- ### I Can Teach - Published: 2007-10-07 - Modified: 2007-10-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-can-teach/ - Categories: Life Poems I can teach you things but I cannot make you learn. I can allow you freedom but I cannot be responsible for you. I can teach you to share but I cannot make you unselfish. I can tell you about kindness but I cannot make you gracious. I gave you life but I cannot live it for you. Joy, until we have felt sorrow; Faith until we are tested; Peace, until we are faced with conflict; Trust, until we are betrayed; Love until it is lost; Hope, until we are faced with doubts give you back the past, nor satisfy... --- ### Till The End Of Time - Published: 2007-10-05 - Modified: 2024-11-01 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/till-the-end-of-time/ - Categories: Love Poems It don't matter what happened in the past Because what we have, it's gonna last You make me smile Your worth my while You let me know how you feel Which lets me know you're the real deal You let me see, what you mean to me Without you, who knows where I'd be?

The moment you got a soft corner in my heart, The very moment my typical ‘deewanapan’ got its start. The moment I proposed you with a rose, The very moment if you had denied, it might be living without a cause. The moment you hold my hand, The very moment I thought it to be a dreamland. The moment you shared your thoughts, your dreams, The very moment I discovered that you are the way you seems. The moment... --- ### Start Where You Stand - Published: 2007-10-01 - Modified: 2009-06-14 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/start-where-you-stand/ - Categories: Life Poems Start where you stand and never mind the past, The past won't help you in beginning new, If you have left it all behind at last Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through; This is another chapter in the book, This is another race that you have planned, Don't give the vanished days a backward look, Start where you stand. The world won't care about your old defeats If you can start anew and win success, The future is your time, and time is fleet And there is much of work and strain and stress; Forget the buried... --- ### Lighting The Way - Published: 2007-09-30 - Modified: 2025-03-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/lighting-the-way/ - Categories: Life Poems If I was one thing, I'd be a candle Lighting the way so you can handle Your life easier without woes Not having to fight with your foes.

But you have pointed me in the right direction, and sent me on my way. Many times in my life I've needed a helping hand, and someone to pull me up. It was you who gave that helping hand, and always cheered me up. Many times I've been sad and down, and taken it out on you. But you stood by me and comforted me, In times that I was bad. Many times I've needed support, and to know someone was there. It was you who held... --- ### In Search Of Destiny Door - Published: 2007-09-29 - Modified: 2007-09-29 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/in-search-of-destiny-door/ - Categories: Life Poems My life is completely messed up, Like a dark, thick soup lying in a cup, No color, no life, just so still, And the numbers of joys are always nill. I am walking on a lonely road, In the dark rainy night. All I can see is the popping toad, And the bat’s scary flight. I don’t know what to do or where to go? All I know that I am feeling very low. Sometimes in this lonely and unreasonable journey, I stop for a moment to think, WHY? Why to me people always hate? Why in my life joys... --- ### I Want To Know - Published: 2007-09-29 - Modified: 2007-09-29 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-want-to-know/ - Categories: Life Poems I want to know, when day is done, That life has been worth living, That I have brought somebody joy Through kind, unselfish giving. I want to feel, when evening falls and shadows quickly lengthen That I have made somebody glad, Some weakness I have strengthened. I want to know that come what may I've left some cheer and gladness; I want to feel at close of day I've banished someone's sadness. I want to feel at close of day That someone's cares were lighter Because of kindness I have done, May someone's life be brighter. --- ### Mere Words - Published: 2007-09-29 - Modified: 2007-09-29 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/mere-words/ - Categories: Love Poems I searched among the card displays, To see if I could find, A little something that would say Just what was on my mind. However there was not a one, That captured it just right, For no one else can understand Just what I'd like to write. I even find it difficult To try to write it down, For how do I portray to you, The love that I have known? I close my eyes and what I see, Is someone I adore; A person who is beautiful, Right down into their soul. Mere words cannot describe The many qualities... --- ### Be The Best - version 2 - Published: 2007-07-26 - Modified: 2009-07-26 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/be-the-best-version-2/ - Categories: Friendship Poems If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you, And share with you its beauty The days you’re feeling blue.

I cannot build you a mountain Or catch you a rainbow fair, But let me be what I do best, A friend that’s always there. --- ### Times In Our Lives - Published: 2007-05-19 - Modified: 2007-05-19 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/times-in-our-lives/ - Categories: Life Poems There will be times in all of our lives where we're treated very harshly and unfair. And no matter how hard we look for the justice we find that it just isn't there. When we're offended and in pain, our normal response is to retaliate and somehow repay. For we want that person to see how it feels to have the heartache we're feeling that day. But as natural as it seems to want to get even it's the opposite of what God says is true. For He is desiring that His servants be different and be Christ-like in all... --- ### I Am Only Me - Published: 2007-04-06 - Modified: 2018-04-26 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-am-only-me/ - Categories: Friendship Poems, Life Poems I am only me, that is all that I can be No more, no less, don't second guess I love, I laugh, I live and cry, I've wished at times, that I could die Some days I'm funny, others I'm not, sometimes I'm in overdrive and can't stop I am a loyal and honest friend, You know that I'll be there until the end I am a father/mother, my children my greatest gift, The smiles on their faces always give me a lift I am a romantic, sensual, and passionate too, to the love of my life, I'll share this... --- ### The Guy in the Glass - Published: 2007-04-04 - Modified: 2025-01-30 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-guy-in-the-glass/ - Categories: Life Poems When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf, And the world makes you King for a day, Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that guy has to say. For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife, Who judgement upon you must pass. The feller whose verdict counts most in your life Is the guy staring back from the glass. He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest, For he's with you clear up to the end, And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the guy in... --- ### Bend In The Road - Published: 2007-03-29 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/bend-in-the-road/ - Categories: Life Poems When we feel we have nothing left to give And we are sure that the song has ended When our day seems over and the shadows fall And the darkness of night has descended. Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying, Where can we find the hand that will dry The tears that the heart is crying. There's but one place to go and that is to God And, dropping all pretense and pride, We can pour out our problems without restraint And gain strength from Him at our side. And together we stand... --- ### If You Really Care - Published: 2007-03-29 - Modified: 2007-03-29 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/if-you-really-care/ - Categories: Friendship Poems, Life Poems Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone And I never see my old friend's face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine... If, we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men... Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name... Tomorrow I say I will... --- ### The Tear - Published: 2007-03-24 - Modified: 2007-03-24 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-tear/ - Categories: Life Poems, Love Poems, Sad Poems When Friendship or Love Our sympathies move; When Truth, in a glance, should appear, The lips may beguile, With a dimple or smile, But the test of affection's a Tear Too oft is a smile But the hypocrite's wile, To mask detestation, or fear; Give me the soft sigh, Whilst the soul telling eye Is dimm'd, for a time, with a Tear Mild Charity's glow, To us mortals below, Shows the soul from barbarity clear; Compassion will melt, Where this virtue is felt, And its dew is diffused in a Tear The man, doom'd to sail With the blast of... --- ### To Those Who Fail - Published: 2007-03-19 - Modified: 2007-03-19 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/to-those-who-fail/ - Categories: Friendship Poems, Life Poems All honor to him who shall win the prize," The world has cried for a thousand years; But to him who tries, and who fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears; Give glory and honor and pitiful tears To all who fail in their deeds sublime; Their ghosts are many in the van of years, They were born with Time, in advance of Time. Oh, great is the hero who wins a name, But greater many and many a time Some pale-faced fellow who dies in shame, And lets God finish the thoughts sublime. And great... --- ### Beautiful People - Published: 2007-03-19 - Modified: 2007-03-19 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/beautiful-people/ - Categories: Life Poems I’m thankful for the beautiful people in the world like you.

On walls, on furniture, On doorknobs, dishes, books, As we touch we leave our identity. Oh please where ever I go today, Help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion Of understanding and love. Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbor Or a runaway daughter, Or an anxious mother, Or, perhaps, a dear friend! I shall go out today To leave heartprints, And if someone should say "I felt your touch," May that one sense be... YOUR LOVE Touching through ME. This is to all the wonderful people... --- ### Song of Life - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/song-of-life/ - Categories: Life Poems A traveler on a dusty road Strewed acorns on the lea; And one took root and sprouted up And grew into a tree. Love sought its shade at evening time, To breathe its early vows; And age was pleased, in heights of noon, To bask beneath its boughs. The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, The birds sweet music bore- It stood a glory in its place, A blessing evermore. A little spring had lost its way Amid the grass and fern; A passing stranger scooped a well Where weary men might turn. He walled it in, and hung with care... --- ### Another Chance - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/another-chance/ - Categories: Life Poems How often we wish for another chance to make a fresh beginning. A chance to blot out our mistakes And change failure into winning. It does not take a new day To make a brand new start, It only takes a deep desire To try with all our heart. To live a little better And to always be forgiving And to add a little sunshine To the world in which we're living. So never give up in despair And think that you are through, For there's always a tomorrow And the hope of starting new. --- ### Life and Death - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/life-and-death/ - Categories: Life Poems So he died for his faith. That is fine-- More than most of us do. But stay, can you add to that line That he lived for it, too? In death he bore witness at last As a martyr to truth. Did his life do the same in the past From the days of his youth? It is easy to die. Men have died For a wish or a whim-- From bravado or passion or pride. Was it harder for him? But to live: every day to live out All the truth that he dreamt, While his friends met his... --- ### How Did You Die - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/how-did-you-die/ - Categories: Life Poems Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take it? You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that! Come up with a smiling face. It's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there--that's disgrace. The harder you're thrown, why the higher... --- ### The Words That Were Spoken - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-words-that-were-spoken/ - Categories: Love Poems, Sad Poems The words that were spoken, they tore at my soul, They pierced my spirit and left a gapping hole. The world could not see what had transpired My heart was the covering when the deed expired. Everywhere I traveled the words they came to me A reminder of the day these words were spoke to me A wound had festered in my heart that day I couldn't understand why the pain never went away. I fashioned a prison and I built the cell I formed the lock that would keep pain there I tried to cover all my agony and... --- ### One of These Days - Published: 2007-03-07 - Modified: 2007-03-07 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/one-of-these-days/ - Categories: Life Poems Say! Let's forget it! Let's put it aside! Life is so large and the world is so wide. Days are so short and there's so much to do, What if it was false--there's plenty that's true. Say! Let's forget it! Let's brush it away Now and forever, so what do you say? All of the bitter words said may be praise One of these days. Say! Let's forget it! Let's wipe off the slate, Find something better to cherish than hate. There's so much good in the world that we've had, Let's strike a balance and cross off the bad.... --- ### The Little Things - Published: 2007-02-23 - Modified: 2007-02-23 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-little-things/ - Categories: Life Poems Realizing the things, that mean so much. Like a thought that puts a smile, on your face, or a simple loving touch. The smell of fragrant flowers, on a breezy Spring day. The kind words of encouragement, that are spoken your way. The sweet sounds of children laughing, as they play down the hall. The feeling of accomplishment, no matter how big or small. The thought of loved ones, who have come and gone. Their pictures and the memories, that will forever live on. If we could take time out and focus less, on our financial state. We would realize... --- ### Playing the Game - Published: 2007-02-23 - Modified: 2007-02-23 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/playing-the-game/ - Categories: Life Poems Life is a game with a glorious prize, If we can only play it right. It is give and take, build and break, And often it ends in a fight; But he surely wins who honestly tries (Regardless of wealth or fame), He can never despair who plays it fair How are you playing the game? Do you wilt and whine, if you fail to win In the manner you think your due? Do you sneer at the man in case that he can And does, do better than you? Do you take your rebuffs with a knowing grin? Do... --- ### Longing - Published: 2007-02-17 - Modified: 2007-02-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/longing/ - Categories: Life Poems Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well again! For so the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day. Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times, A messenger from radiant climes, And smile on thy new world, and be As kind to others as to me! Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth, Come now, and let me dream it truth, And part my hair, and kiss my brow, And say, My love why sufferest thou Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well... --- ### Everlasting Love - Published: 2007-02-17 - Modified: 2020-06-25 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/everlasting-love/ - Categories: Love Poems - Tags: couple The moment you know that he / she is the one, your life changes for good. As I sit here watching the words scroll by reading the lines of poets' I think of how much you mean to me And I must be sure you know it; Each day I love you more and more My heart, it over flows And I have to wonder to myself Do I always let it show; I know that I can be stubborn The truth I don't always see It hides away in the dark Waiting to be set free; Afraid to put... --- ### Ready For Love - Published: 2007-02-17 - Modified: 2007-02-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/ready-for-love/ - Categories: Love Poems Take my hand and lead the way; tell me all you want to say. Whisper softly in my ear, all those things I want to hear. Kiss my lips and touch my skin; bring out passions deep within. Pull me close and hold me near; take away my pain and fear. In the darkness of the night, be my beacon, shine your light. In the brightness of the sun, show me that you are the one. Give me wings so I can fly; for I can soar when you're nearby. Enter my heart, break down the wall, it's time for... --- ### If You Find Love - Published: 2007-02-17 - Modified: 2007-02-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/if-you-find-love/ - Categories: Love Poems If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart. If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love her/him, feel honoured that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and... --- ### Life Goes On... - Published: 2007-02-06 - Modified: 2007-02-06 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/life-goes-on/ - Categories: Life Poems In every human life, there are some moments when one is sad and depressed Frustrated from every zone of life, And feel like leaving everything & going away And Life Goes on ...

If you do the talking, He never will get through, To let you know what it is, He would have you do. I did not heed the lesson, the preacher gave that day, I hurried through my prayers, and wandered, on my merry way. As years went by, I realized, the many times I'd missed, A perfect... --- ### Always Have Hope - Published: 2007-02-02 - Modified: 2007-02-02 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/always-have-hope/ - Categories: Life Poems  hope that I will always be for each person what he or she needs me to be. I hope that each person's death will diminish me, but that fear of my own will never diminish my joy of life. I hope that my love for those whom I like will never lessen my love for those whom I do not. I hope that another person's love for me will never be a measure of my love for him or her. I hope that everybody will accept me as I am, but that I never will. I hope that I will... --- ### Only Today - Published: 2007-02-02 - Modified: 2007-02-02 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/only-today/ - Categories: Life Poems Whatever I may want to do It must be done today. There is no other time. Yesterdays are but todays Used and gone beyond my grasp. Not one can ever be brought back; Even as a bell can't be unrung Or a spoken, unintended word Be readily retrieved before It reaches someone's ear. Tomorrows are todays awaiting birth. Each comes unbidden in the night To arrive full-fledged for me to use And do whatever I may want to do. --- ### Be The Best - Published: 2007-01-25 - Modified: 2007-01-25 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/be-the-best/ - Categories: Life Poems If you can't be the pine at the top of the hill Be the scrub in the valley, but be The best little scrub on the side of the hill Be a bush if you can't be a tree If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass Doing something for somebody's sake If you can't be a muskie try being a bass But be the liveliest bass in the lake We can't all be captains, some have to be crew There is something for all of us here There is big work and little for people... --- ### Live For Today - Published: 2007-01-20 - Modified: 2007-01-20 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/live-for-today/ - Categories: Life Poems Have you ever wished, when a day went wrong a wish that's quite in vain that it were only possible to live that day again You'd start out in the morning with the prayers you should have said and through the days your actions with tolerance be led The many little instances that tried your patience, true if only you could start again you'd know now what to do You'd kneel and say your evening prayers and thank the lord above for all the pleasant hours past your heart at peace with love But since this is a wish in... --- ### Love Is Never Silent - Published: 2007-01-05 - Modified: 2007-01-05 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/love-is-never-silent/ - Categories: Love Poems A loving heart, a gentle smile, a warm and tender touch, We give so many things in life but nothing means as much. A little inspiration when someone loses hope, A kind word of encouragement when they no longer seem to cope. A simple phrase, "I love you" when no one else is there, Taking hold onto a hand in a little heartfelt prayer. Love is never silent, it has so much to say, And it is our greatest blessing when we give it all away. by David L. Griffith --- ### The Flow Of Life - Published: 2007-01-05 - Modified: 2007-01-05 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-flow-of-life/ - Categories: Life Poems If the sky above seems cloudy, And you are left out in the rain, If you are searching for a rainbow, But the colors bring you pain, If your world is not revolving, And there is no end in sight, If you are looking for the sunshine, But all you see is night, If all around are smiling, But all you can do is frown, If you are tired of all this living, When life just brings you down, Then look beyond your teardrops, At the wonders of this land, The beauty of a flower, Like velvet in your hand.... --- ### You May Count That Day - Published: 2006-12-31 - Modified: 2006-12-31 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/you-may-count-that-day/ - Categories: Life Poems If you sit down at set of sun And count the acts that you have done, And, counting, find One self-denying deed, one word That eased the heart of him who heard-- One glance most kind, That fell like sunshine where it went-- Then you may count that day well spent. But if, through all the livelong day, You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-- If, through it all You've nothing done that you can trace That brought the sunshine to one face-- No act most small That helped some soul and nothing cost-- Then count that day as... --- ### Try and Try - Published: 2006-12-23 - Modified: 2006-12-23 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/try-and-try/ - Categories: Life Poems I have always seen life for what it really is. Ever since I was a child growing up, hard times are all I know. I had to sit back and watch my mother work from sunset to sundown. I had to sit back and watch my mother work herself to her grave. Nothing ever came easy for her. She always had a heart and kept a smile on her face. Life is like a newborn baby struggling to come out of its mother's womb, life is a struggle true enough, but after all the struggling you have done, and after... --- ### You Are The Sun - Published: 2006-12-10 - Modified: 2006-12-10 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/you-are-the-sun/ - Categories: Life Poems Watching the world through a blacked-out window You see no sun, Yet people see light shining in your eyes, You are the sun for others Watching children play, wishing you were them, You start to cry, People see your child- like tears, Yet nobody seems to care Giving light to others, You realize you’re alone Your flame is burning brightly Yet you still feel blind But if you look deep into your heart, and open the window, You realize, You are the sun, Your stars need your brightness, And one day you will find the special star, Which will add... --- ### Reluctance - Published: 2006-12-10 - Modified: 2006-12-10 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/reluctance/ - Categories: Life Poems, Love Poems Out through the fields and the woods And over the walls I have wended; I have climbed the hills of view And looked at the world, and descended; I have come by the highway home, And lo, it is ended. The leaves are all dead on the ground, Save those that the oak is keeping To ravel them one by one And let them go scraping and creeping Out over the crusted snow, When others are sleeping. And the dead leaves lie huddled and still, No longer blown hither and thither; The last long aster is gone; The flowers of... --- ### Childhood - Published: 2006-12-10 - Modified: 2006-12-10 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/childhood/ - Categories: Life Poems Childhood, sweet and sunny childhood, With its careless, thoughtless air, Like the verdant, tangled wildwood, Wants the training hand of care. See it springing all around us -- Glad to know, and quick to learn; Asking questions that confound us; Teaching lessons in its turn. Who loves not its joyous revel, Leaping lightly on the lawn, Up the knoll, along the level, Free and graceful as a fawn Let it revel; it is nature Giving to the little dears Strength of limb, and healthful features, For the toil of coming years. He who checks a child with terror, Stops its... --- ### A Poem on Life - Published: 2006-12-01 - Modified: 2006-12-01 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/a-poem-on-life/ - Categories: Life Poems The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down. And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found! " In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn, not enough rain or too... --- ### All Things Beautiful and Bright - Published: 2006-11-28 - Modified: 2006-11-28 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/all-things-beautiful-and-bright/ - Categories: Life Poems All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning, That brightens up the sky; The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every... --- ### The Sound of the Trees - Published: 2006-11-25 - Modified: 2006-11-25 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-sound-of-the-trees/ - Categories: Life Poems I WONDER about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place We suffer them by the day Till we lose all measure of pace, And fixity in our joys, And acquire a listening air. They are that that talks of going But never gets away; And that talks no less for knowing, As it grows wiser and older, That now it means to stay. My feet tug at the floor And my head sways to my shoulder Sometimes when I watch trees sway, From the... --- ### In The Web Of Thoughts - Published: 2006-11-25 - Modified: 2007-07-20 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/in-the-web-of-thoughts/ - Categories: Life Poems In the night with the fragrance of flowers I was thinking about the world... ... . . so many thoughts, so many worries, I was thinking about myself... ... ...

He soared up through the atmosphere Then drifted close enough to hear. I said, I'd love to fly with you And sail around the way you do. It looks like it would be such fun To fly up toward the summer sun. But I have not your graceful charm. I haven't wings, just these two arms. I've been designed to walk around. My human feet must touch the ground. Then magically he spoke to me and told me what his wish would be. He said, What I'd love most to do... --- ### The Passing Years - Published: 2006-11-15 - Modified: 2006-11-15 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-passing-years/ - Categories: Life Poems Life passes by so fast, Lord, I know I'm sure to miss A vital part unless you keep Reminding me of this. There's so much that I want to do, A lot I've left undone, So many plans discarded, And a few I've not begun. Life passes by so fast, Lord, How often I've been told, It always does around the time That we are growing old. For everything a season Is wise as well as just, But I had rather wear me out, Than fall apart with rust. Life passes by so fast, Lord, The days, the months, the... --- ### A Dream Within A Dream - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/a-dream-within-a-dream/ - Categories: Life Poems Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep,... --- ### End Of The Day - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/end-of-the-day/ - Categories: Life Poems Is anybody happier because you passed this way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to them today? The day is almost over, and its' toiling time is through. Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Can you say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single person of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent? Did... --- ### Purple Rain - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/purple-rain/ - Categories: Love Poems I know that if I saw purple rain I'd recognize I'd gone insane. But I simply don't know how to explain that I'm in love to my brain. I think about you day and night. All day long you're in my sight. The fire in my heart you have ignited. My mind and soul are delighted. I can't concentrate on my day to day routine. I only think of you between the times we will see each other. I could never want another. You've captured my heart and stolen my soul. I believe that I've lost control. It's a feeling... --- ### Their Wait... - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/their-wait/ - Categories: Life Poems The pinaacle awaits your arrival, Even as you upon stones still stumble. Happiness wants to rest by your side, While you are struggling through a sorrowful ride. Confidence wants to adorn you head, When you feel you are as good as dead. Love is waiting to embrace you forever, Even when you feel hate wont leave your life ever. Perfection wants to pave your way, While nothing goes your way every day. HE is waiting to gift you with all you want, While the horror of 'losing it all' to you begins to haunt. So what are you waiting for... --- ### I like ODDS that make me EVEN - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-like-odds-that-make-me-even/ - Categories: Life Poems Success has no address, No landmark, No calling card, But the path is steep, And some will take the elevator, But i will take the stairs, Some will get there faster, But i will get there stronger, And adversity will be my Traveling companion, Because when i get the there, I can turn to adversity and say, So long, And heave the bag of taunts and insults i gathered along the way, and scatter them to the birds, I will miss them, But feel lighter, Yes, That will be the day, When i stand at a large bay window, And... --- ### Faces - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/faces/ - Categories: Life Poems Everyday while traveling to and fro I see so many faces, At definite time, definite intervals, Definite corners, definite places! !

That face always in a hurry, And that cool and slow face Without any worry!

The faults you find in others, are your faults as well. After all, to recognize something you must know it. The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well. The beauty you see around you, is your beauty. The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are. To change your world, you must change yourself. To blame and complain will only make matters worse. Whatever you care about, is your responsibility. What you see in others, shows you yourself.

Yet you can be wealthy and feel regal too, If you will just look for the treasures in you. These treasures in life are not hard to find When you look in your heart, your soul, and your mind.

We think we find a shortcut; It takes longer than it should. Some turns that we make in our lives Aren't really all that good. From here on out I'll take the straight away, No matter the time in which it takes; And hope that God will guide me, And that I make no more mistakes. Think about the road you take, It may take you out of your way, Do not take the roads... --- ### The True Light - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/the-true-light/ - Categories: Sad Poems When you look into life, You don't see what's inside; For you look with your eyes And not with your heart. If you want to know the truth, Then you have to close your eyes; And open your heart To see the true light. Don't try to change What was really there, Just because what you saw Brought you only despair. The truth is the truth, And it will never change - No matter how much You try to forget. --- ### Tomorrow May Become Never - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/tomorrow-may-become-never/ - Categories: Love Poems Say your I love you's today Tomorrow it might be too late Here and now is forever Regrets my friend, are too hard to shake Tomorrow may become never Who knows when they could be gone I've done this one time too many Although I knew it was wrong So I love you mother and father I love you my brother alike I love you my husband and daughter And all who have influenced my life I will always speak from the heart I will speak every word as our last I shall have no further regrets When someone I... --- ### Questions Of Life - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/questions-of-life/ - Categories: Life Poems How many steps will it take to walk a mile? How many seconds will it take to wait a while? How many battles do we need for us to win? How many Gods do we need to forgive our sins? How many times must a man betray his faith? How many times can a man control his hate? When do we say that justice isn't fair? ? How can we endure the burden that we bear? Where is the youth who will dare? Where can we find the people who really care? Where can we find the road to success?... --- ### I Am Someone - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-am-someone/ - Categories: Life Poems I am someone I walked past a dead face even though the person was alive I saw my eyes in the mirror and cried at the sight I looked at a person I didn¹t know and I met a friend I got heads to turn when I walked past I learned a lot about myself when I lost a new friend I cried every tear in my body when I thought about love I got hit bad then got back in the ring I climbed a mountain of rocks and saw an eagle fly over- head I heard terrible things... --- ### Courage To Move On - Published: 2006-11-09 - Modified: 2006-11-09 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/courage-to-move-on/ - Categories: Love Poems They had been together for many a year, Now, all she could feel was fear. She gave all that she could give, It just wasn't the way she wanted to live. He left without a backward glance, Not even giving their love a chance. She often wonders what she could have done, To keep him from going on the run. Now she is living all alone, With nothing to call her own. She can barely make herself eat, Wondering if her life will ever again be complete. This woman is now moving along, Building her courage, and becoming strong. Time... --- ### Words To Live By - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/words-to-live-by/ - Categories: Love Poems Love makes us patient, understanding and kind, And we judge with the heart, not with the mind, For as soon as LOVE enters the heart's opened door The hatred we once saw are not there any more. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is Than a fatted ox and hatred with it. Whenever you are troubled, Put your problems in GOD's hands, For He has faced all problems And He will understand. Trouble and anguish have come upon me. But Thy commandments are my delight. Everything is by comparison Both the bitter and the sweet, And it takes... --- ### Walking Alone - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/walking-alone/ - Categories: Life Poems Neither sin nor holy deed, Can unchain me from my need, To hear your voice, To feel your touch, I never would have thought, I'd miss you this much. From the moment we parted, I began wandering the uncharted, To have truly loved, And truly lost, I stole a piece of heaven, And must now pay the cost. The world seems so void, And I am terribly annoyed, That no matter what I say, No matter what I do, No matter what the time, I still think of you. The hardest thing is not to call, To sit and do... --- ### Second Chance - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/second-chance/ - Categories: Love Poems When we went out all things were right and everything was fine then we broke up and I cried so hard cause you were no longer mine You said you needed time and space so I was like "okay" I stood around & waited as we drifted farther away I thought that we would reunite but I geuss that you did not so I got close to giveing up to let go is what i've been taught ... but then one day you changed your mind and finally came around I guess you finally realized just what you had found... --- ### Believe While Others - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/believe-while-others/ - Categories: Life Poems Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting.   By William Arthur Ward --- ### I Will Be Here - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-will-be-here/ - Categories: Love Poems Whenever you're sad, or feeling blue, Just call on me. I'll be here for you. Whenever you're happy, or feeling sad, Just call on me. You are going to be glad that you had. 'Cause I'm gonna be there with open arms. I'm going to be there to bear your arms. I may be young, or tiny like a bug, but when you're sad I swear to God, I give the biggest hugs. So when you're lonely or just plain blue, Just think of me, or this poem, And I'll come to you. --- ### To Reflect - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/to-reflect/ - Categories: Life Poems On those stones I walked alone, bearing only the name that I’d been given. I walked until I reached the shore, of the life that I’ve been living. Staring into breaking waves memories of broken days and all the times that went away. Reflecting on my life. On that bridge I walked alone, staring down at rocks below. I dreamed at last I was back home, in the company of those I’ve known. Hanging on a steel beam separating life from dream listening to the running stream. Reflecting on my life. On those stones I lay alone, motionless and without... --- ### Thought Games - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/thought-games/ - Categories: Love Poems To me you are a candle, that will never go out, Shining, flickering, Lighting my heart and my mind. When I look at you, your presence pierces my soul. I am bound, by your loveliness. I have been but a pebble, But you make me feel like a rock. I can only touch our memories, When I want to touch you. How you have me captured, In your tightly wound silk web. I give myself to you over and over in my dreams, I am immersed, Deep into the ocean of my thoughts of you. Not being able to decipher,... --- ### Care - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/care/ - Categories: Life Poems Tell me your dreams, what you and your subconscious mind share We will find a doorway at the end of the stairs Nay don't feel upset Nay don't stare into space oblivious of the world without a care Why are you just unaware About the objectivity of life's true meaning that one should bear Maybe you're lacking the warmth and care Maybe you should not compare Or maybe one should impregnate you with Love, Solace and Care I don't know about tomorrow So just forget about your sorrows That makes you feel so furrowed As tomorrows are never seen Until... --- ### A Life… - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2009-07-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/a-life/ - Categories: Life Poems Oh!

Not everyone will agree with all you decide. Be true to yourself first and foremost. The only important thing in life is what you do with the time you spend here on earth. Don't be afraid to follow your desires, they are not silly nor selfish. Take the time and do what makes you feel alive. Leave your fears and regrets in the past, for this is where they belong.

Dreams sustain us through the madness; goals give a finish line to our race. Yet they change with every turn, around every wall, and remain elusive throughout the quest. Mistakes are made, and regrets are our luggage; we will drag them with us to slow us down. The victories are flashes of light, sudden and unlasting, which allow us to glimpse the road ahead before darkness descends. Love is bitter, yet it is the... --- ### I See The Face - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/i-see-the-face/ - Categories: Friendship Poems God took you away. It doesn't seem fair, but in the back of my mind, you will always be there. You weren't a close friend, but our paths did cross, and your absence in this world, is to me a great loss. You were too young to die, and too innocent to feel that pain. Only heaven benefits, because you it has now gained. I may think of you a little less with each passing day, but your strength is something I won't forget, you have changed me in a way. I wish for you eternal peace; that's what you... --- ### Footprints In Time - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2024-10-17 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/footprints-in-time/ - Categories: Love Poems Two young lovers, Walking on the sand, Gazing at each other, Talking hand in hand, The prints they leave behind them, Marking memories of the past, The long beach laid before them, Hoping love will last, The ocean captures the footprints, And erases them from the shore, Taking with it remembrances, And leaving them with more, Many years have passed, Time flies when you're having fun, And before you know it innocence fades, And the teen years are done, Now she's back on the beach, Except she is alone, Watching and waiting, For the love that hadn't grown, She walks... --- ### My Far Away Friend - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/my-far-away-friend/ - Categories: Friendship Poems Just want to say good morning Hope your day is sunny and bright And life is a special blessing That with you through the night.

It was found among her things when she died. -=-=-=-=-=-=- What do you see, nurses? What do you see? Are you thinking when you look at me? A crabby old woman, not very wise, Uncertain of habit, with far away eyes, Who dribbles her food and makes no reply When you say in a loud voice- "I do wish you'd try. " Who seems not to notice, The things that you do, And forever is losing a sock or a shoe. Who unresisting or not,... --- ### Don't Ever - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/dont-ever/ - Categories: Life Poems Don't ever be reluctant to show your feelings when you're happy, give in to it. When you're not, live with it. Don't ever be afraid to try to make things better, you might be surprised at the results. Don't ever take the weight of the world on your shoulders. Don't ever feel threatened by the future, take life one day at a time. Don't ever feel guilty about the past, what's done is done. Don't stop learning from any mistakes you might have made. Don't ever feel that you are alone, there is always somebody there for you to reach... --- ### Life Still Has A Meaning - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/life-still-has-a-meaning/ - Categories: Life Poems If there is a future there is time for mending- Time to see your troubles coming to an ending. Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow- If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow. If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping- When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping. Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling- If there is time for praying there is time for healing. So if through your window there is a new day breaking- Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,... --- ### A Dream - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/a-dream/ - Categories: Life Poems In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar- What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? --- ### Footsteps of Angels - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2009-11-04 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/footsteps-of-angels/ - Categories: Life Poems When the hours of Day are numbered, And the voices of the Night Wake the better soul, that slumbered, To a holy, calm delight; Ere the evening lamps are lighted, And, like phantoms grim and tall, Shadows from the fitful firelight Dance upon the parlor wall; Then the forms of the departed Enter at the open door; The beloved, the true-hearted, Come to visit me once more; He, the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife, By the roadside fell and perished, Weary with the march of life! They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross... --- ### Dare To Be - Published: 2006-11-08 - Modified: 2006-11-08 - URL: https://www.poetryoflife.com/dare-to-be/ - Categories: Life Poems When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you're feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
