Poem/Artistic Stories

  • my first poem!

    Saturday, February 23, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I've never written a poem before, but always wanted to. So today I went and typed this one up for the contest here on DS. It was fun! It only took me a few minutes... I just let what was inside, come out!
    Here it is:
    Where do I go from here?
    Changes
    Necessary changes...
    I need to change...
    Old habits, new habits...
    Where do I go from here?
    Inside
    I need to see what’s there...
    How do I feel...

  • Delta Dawns Faded Rose

    Monday, February 25, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story


    Delta Dawns Faded Rose
    like Delta Dawns faded rose
    carried on the sleeve like a heart
    promises made, promises lost
    hearts broken
    mine, his
    20 years, like yesterday
    visions of perfection
    no one can abide
    lost, found
    hearts made strong
    memories of another time
    never seem to fade
    only improve with time
    time to turn
    time to let go
    time to forgive and heal
    time for me
    time to make peace
    in my heart...

  • Enough

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Not good enough
    I work so hard
    I keep on trying
    It's not good enough
    Now tears fall
    I try to fight them
    they roll down my face
    they just won't stop
    Have to feel the hurt
    so I can get mad
    turn tears around
    find my courage
    I know it's there
    I'm sure I'll find it
    The strength I need
    To do enough

  • Hard Day

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Hard Day
    Everything's hard
    Grounds hard
    Heads hard
    Homework is hard
    Class is hard
    Walking is hard
    Thinking is hard
    Life is hard... today
    Tomorrow's a new day
    What will it hold?
    Maybe some soft :)

  • celibacy :day 1

    Saturday, April 6, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    she wakes up in a daze, coming through the door
    with questions unanswered, so she prays
    a new site she has never heard of appears on her screen
    "finally an answer"
    she's a beginner and hopes for the best with God by her side nothing can go wrong

  • Listen with Care

    Tuesday, April 9, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Listen with Care
    A rhythmic pluck.
    A harsh tone.
    A clear key.
    A heavy note.
    A shrill strand.
    A breathy vocal.
    A rounded bong.
    A vivid timbre.
    A romantic cord.
    A gentle sound.
    So very small.
    Quick as a wink.
    Just a moment in time.
    We listen to music all strung together, often forgetting the parts of its sum.

  • A Childhood Friend

    Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    A childhood friend
    ‘Tis an Oak, old and majestic, hundreds of years if a day,
    Standing in my childhood grove.
    T’was a playground of sorts, for our daydreams and fancies,
    As sure as the tides of the sea.
    We skittered into branches, making believe we were monkeys
    In search of the perfect perch,
    Tossing oak helicopters we’d collected on our scamper,
    Solely to witness the...

  • He knows me by name!

    Saturday, May 4, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Barely a whisper… he calls
    Me by name, so soft, yet
    Big and strong, ever so present,
    Watching my every move.
    Don’t look his way; you’ll catch a glimpse like
    A window into his soul.
    You’ll see sweetness, and smoothness, and
    Spicy delights…
    Beckoning you to come near. Just
    One step… then another…
    You reach out…
    Touching hardness, abrup...

  • A letter to dad...

    Tuesday, May 7, 2013 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Dear Dad,
    It’s been so many years since I last saw you. I miss you every day.
    Do you miss me too?
    I often tell my boys of the family adventures we had when I was young.
    Do you even know I have 3 sons now?
    I am sure you remember my first born and the day you pressed his tiny newborn feet
    into the cool wet cement of the sidewalk you were building on that sunny spring morning,
    as he cried...
