Questions Poems
My soul questions you...
by Nupur Gautam
When the sun sets will you be my moon?
Will you be my rainbow in the monsoon?
When I act childish will you bring me candy and balloon?
Will you help me open up to this world when I hide in a little cocoon?
When life seems to be weighing me down will you lift me up in your arms?
Will you help me calm down when my over-scrutinizer brain rings all the false alarms?
When I drown in misfortune will you be one of my lucky charms?
When you touch the petals of my soul will you cause them to blossom with care?

What could I've ever asked for?
by Rushali Sarfare
What could I've ever asked for?
As I laid naked in the scorching sun,
Burning flesh with agony,
Pain to ablaze strongest cords,
Deciphering which hurts most.
Was its eyes?
Or ears?
Was it skin?
Or was it the throat?

Do You Know
by gabriella BlakeDo you know I haven’t laughed like that since you. Do you know I haven’t smiled like that since you. Do you know I haven’t felt safe since you. Do you know no one knows me anymore. Do you know how alone I feel, how scared I feel. I’m scared to let anyone in. I’m scared of being left behind once again. I’m scared of being all alone, and that keeps me more isolated that anything.

by Mario Odekerken
Die Stille zwischen den Herzschlägen
trägt mehr Wahrheit als Worte.
Ich frage den Wind,die Sterne,
doch nur die Zeit Weiß es.
Sie schaut ohne zu blinzeln,
misst ohne Gnade,
eilt nie,
vergisst nie.

Will We Ever Know
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Have you ever seen the ripples
As they dance across the pond...
Have you ever seen the fairy
As she waves her magic wand...
Have you ever seen the stars
Shoot across the sky at night...
Have you ever seen the baby
Open her eyes at morning light...

What if
by Mario Odekerken
What if the sky forgot to be blue
and the wind no longer knew
the names of the trees?
What if silence wasn't peace,
but a question waiting in the dark?
What if you had taken the other road,
the one that bent sharply left,
Into the fog you couldn't see through?

Who’s Gonna Save Your Soul?
by Kevin Schroeder
In a smoky room, where the shadows play,
You’re searching for direction, lost along the way.
The devil grins, whispering sweet lies,
Promising glory wrapped in disguise.
Who's gonna save your soul tonight?
The preacher with his holy light?
The politician with his silver tongue?
Or the celebrity, forever young?
Is it the singer with a heart full of pain?

Why do people, people?
by kyra turner
Why do people treat people the way they do?
Why do people ignore each other?
Why do people love who they love?
Why do people hate who they hate?
Why do people disown families?
Why do people drink?
Why do people do bad things?
Why do people get themselves into jail?
Why do people lie?
WHY DO PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO?

What I know
by Kombe Sakwe Kofi
I believe in slavery,
Christ could never enslave me,
Studied lies, truth came with bravery,
In the beginning was no Adam nor Eve,
Cowries or pearls Judas will trade me,
Embrace my fate, finish line is calvary,
29, I keeping asking myself questions.
