Personal Poems
Your Happiness Is Fire
by K B
When I'm with you
Your happiness is catching
Getting caught on my skin
spreading through me like wildfire
All over me
And into me
Deep into my soul
Until my heart is ablaze
A fire with everlasting radiant warmth
Love me so
by Sindhu Sreekumar
Unfasten,
warm air
into
my nights,
ignite a fire
in my bosom.
Sink me
in your
heartbeats.
seep into

the boy in the mirror
by anon d
So desperately i tried to right my wrongs, healing the scars i had left behind.
Such a terrible card i dealt him because i was incapable of loving him.
All the times i told him how much i hated him making sure he knew how little he was worth.
How afraid he must have been of me, each time i showed up more battered then the last.
So regretfully i hugged the boy in the mirror.
Mother
by M. Unknown
A soft touch on your skin when you’re upset.
A comforting body when you need someone to hold.
A loving person in times you feel lonely.
Most important someone who loves you for you, and is proud of your existence.
It’s hard to explain why I miss something that was never there. It’s even harder to imagine how it would feel, have you not experienced it yourself.
It baffles me that this is something I could not experience myself. I envy everyone who did.
Maybe I would be more human, instead I’m full of hatred.

daddy’s favorite quote
by Kamran Qureshi
"The Battle of Life Is Fought Uphill"
was daddy’s favorite quote, till
it was finally inscribed
on his gravestone,
right at the foot of the hill,

The Young Bo'sun
by Jonathan Goff
The sea turned rough with me today.
I sailed with a lad of eight.
He loosed the rigging, dove overboard,
and left me drifting in his wake.
Where art thou, O little one?
Thou art radiant in thy wild grace,
Even when thou dost stumble,
When thou trippest and skinnest thy knees
Or when thy lungs spew dragon-flame.

The Constant Gardener
by Jonathan Goff
You were quiet, then,
moving carefully,
weighing each step,
as if the world might vanish
if you rushed.
You wondered
if you were enough
for all that waited beyond.
The world pressed in—
too many voices, too many eyes

Achieve what you believe
by Creig Burkeens
If you want something
Believe In it
Achieve it
I didn't realize that until I had wrote my first poem
I had not thought I was able to do anything until one day
I had gone through everything and couldnt do it
But...that was because I was trying to find an excuse to do something
I hadn't believed in it
I just did it without believing
Then I changed my mind

Maybe A Mistake .......
by BETTY K
maybe you see me as a mistake
but i try everyday to be awake
and be the cherry on cake
a shadow that you wanted to make
maybe you never wanted me
but i try to make that never escape
and be the one that could still stay
at least that shadow for which you would have pray
