Secret Cemented Underworld | Rising of the Sun - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Secret Cemented Underworld | Rising of the Sun

Our existence had been an escape.
Sefless and innocent we were.
We knew nothing but yawn .
Searching for suck to pin-point.
When we grew up.
We knew their had been a secret,
hidden from our prescence.
Maybe heavy for us to carry.
Engulfed with devil’s blood.
The tales from devil’s world.
There had been a secret before we was.
Secret of our generation.
The one as a master key to our future.
How to get to underworld?
With confusion bloodshot.
We haven’t unlock any.
Many journey to embark.
Many keys to open.
Many throb enstrangled.
Inside underworld lain black blood.
The race is tough but never be scared to hold to the end.
Our secrets was tied innocently in unknown far place.
No light for action.
No source of animal reaction.
Clumsy thoughts that play violently on our cloud.
Our minds emptied with free-fall erosion.
Awake, my soul!
Empty heart, rise to your feet to.
There is more in the cloud to see.

Sleep Issues | G. S. Katz - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Sleep Issues | G. S. Katz

Drank a pint of Smithwicks around 7pm
Split a plate of nachos with a friend
Drank 2 fingers of Wild Turkey 101 at 9:30pm
Ate Chicken and pasta around 10pm
Small arugula salad too
Hard some coconut sorbet at 10:30
Fell asleep watching political rhetoric at 11pm
Went to official bed

Dreamed about Mister Ed
The talking horse TV show
Told my wife about it at 3am
She was partially asleep
Had never heard of Mister Ed
She’s a UK product
Told me I was crazy

Tossed and turned after that
Took melatonin at 4am
Finally fell asleep at 6am
Up at 8
The moral of the story ?

Duh
Beats me

Twinkling Lights | Ian Lewis Copestick - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Twinkling Lights | Ian Lewis Copestick

The sky is dark purple
And I can’t see a single star
The only things twinkling
Are faraway orange streetlights
On the horizon
It still looks pretty good though
Even if they are man made
And not the type of things
That people usually get
Romantic about
A twinkling light is a twinkling light
At the end of the day
Living in a run down environment
You have to take your romance
Wherever you can get it

Insight | Dinka Bednjacic - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Insight | Dinka Bednjacic

I found a shine
in a smile,
glow on your face
even when you cry

There is no regret-
in the words you write,
or the letters you’ve never posted-
Like all the loves you have found-
Loves,
You have
Lost it
I have insight in the ways we have lived

Becoming open to the gentle rain-
like a meadows in spring
When all is due to be born

You are such gladness,
the shadow that will shelter behind the door,
found in a place that we would cry,
turns away
To wither and die

You are truly
a listener of your own thought,
the warrior of wounds

This joy,
will ease our fears,
with a baby
in hand

Hold
Gaze for a while

Autobiography | Stan Morrison

I gave mrs fields my recipes, advised ann landers
I later served in the army under colonel sanders
I went to junior high with dr sholls, and then
I graduated rice university with uncle ben
I also dated Julia child
until things got too wild
she said she was on a mission
and I had to get outa the kitchen
in my opera debut I played palyacho
I knew all the greats and the not so
many more memories to mention
thank you for your kind attention
….and that’s the truth!
