Inspiration's Tears | Sandra Henry - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Inspiration’s Tears | Sandra Henry

The spirit of beauty
blossoms year ’round
As the spirit of love
shines down from above.
One crystal tear of joy
fills the aching heart
One delicate thought
gives imagination flight
One tender touch
causes the soul to sing
One sweet smile
shall be felt forever more.
Let all the oceans be
crystal tear drops
Let each thought be
a swallow in flight
Let one touch be
a thousand voices singing
Let one smile be
an eternal light.
So shared spirit will live on
in soft and tender hearts
in the tears of inspiration
and in the joy of
cherished friendship.

Finding Charm | Fotoula Reynolds - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Finding Charm | Fotoula Reynolds

The house where love died
Carried voices with no meaning inside
Only the outside air whispered life
The charming garden had faith

Empty lips of comfort
All grew soft and far and silent
Trees bent their heads
Mysteriously crying

Winds stole thoughts away
No home in the moon’s light
Alone and frightened
In the unfriendly night

Desperately willing
The sunny morning danced
A subtle beguiling smile
Wept tears of gold and jade

Through tides of darkness
White radiant words flew
Known hearts found peace
In the home of truth

Beggar | Lucia Daramus - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Beggar | Lucia Daramus

I am alone. Alone. Alone!
I’m crying in the middle of the street
and my howl is green
the madness which I am growing is black
my father kept my hand
and he said me
you will eat a bread from the place
where is your soul !
How truth and how untruth
I’m hungry
truly hungry
my soul is in poetry
the poetry fill the brain and heart
I’m writing poetry from my dark loneliness
I’m writing with blood and
and –
with my horses herd from my mind
waiting the death
as a blue- red pillar of fair
and over these the white bird
from my soul
but I am a beggar, a poet- beggar

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.

The Pumpkins | Angel Edwards - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

The Pumpkins | Angel Edwards

The pumpkins are a family
just as it sounds
a fun family of pumpkins
a four piece family
Mom Pumpkin
Dad Pumpkin
and their children
Jolly Pumpkin
Grinn Pumpkin
identical twins

They all liked
to wear a fancy hat
but their heads
were too round
to keep a hat on

Green stems and roots
served as shoes and boots
steadily on the ground
the pumpkins got around

There was a lot to be seen
in Pumpkin Town
circus of flowers
a merry go round

They took turns
carving each other’s faces

Mrs.Pumpkin carved
Mr. Pumpkins face
into a worried frown
Mr. Pumpkin didn’t like this
He screamed the place down

Jolly came to the rescue
made it into a smile
Mr Pumpkin’s mouth
stretching for a mile
