This is really awesome! I'm really enjoying getting the opportunity to read these poems! Thank you everyone for sharing. Here's another poem of mine that I wrote recently. It's called:



"The Chase"



It stands to rest, among the best

That all reason and wisdom gained

Still can never fully attain

A point or mark of perfection at best

But, the chase must go on

So the catch can be strong

Enough to carry forward

A soul beaten and seeking reward

To leave no trace of regret or fear

And bury that passion to a heart that's near

Pen & Pad



You were the best sin I ever had

And everything you did was bad

You teased enough to drive me mad

But all I had was a pen and pad

So I wrote my sins in bright, red ink

And let the rest drain down the sink

My story's told and yet so old

Like those I've heard and watched unfold

The slate is clean, a lesson learned

A journey starts with grace unearned

Music soundtrack to my life
Posted : 3 Feb, 2009 11:19 PM

So, I always thought that this would be the coolest thing ever: To have music play in the background of my life, just like a soundtrack to a movie. You know, a loud, upbeat song would play when I'm feeling excited or happy (actually, if I was happy the song "sunshine on my shoulders" by Carly Rae Jepsen would play), or if I was sad or down about relationships the song "Miserable At Best" by Mayday Parade would play... and if I was getting hyped up for a hockey game or football game the song "Go Buck" by Flame. Man, life would be awesome if this was possible... and those were just a few examples...



How would your soundtrack sound like?

Hey everybody,



I love poetry and just wanted a place to share it with others and here other people's poetry... I'll start with one of my poems I wrote that was inspired by the prayer of my senior pastor this fall. It's titled "Seasons Collide":



The rain falls down in gathered puddles

Beneath my feet, washing away stains

Of all my mistakes and breaking pains

And memories of long, soft cuddles



The wind howls at my face as I break

Tears fly behind me in anguish now

Leaving me questions of why and how

But now I've put far too much at stake



I stand in the ocean, in waist deep

As the wave knocks me down, I just drown

In purity that washes me clean

I fall hard and fast in peaceful sleep



The sun beats on my dry, sandy feet

My hands touch the ground in hope for rain

So that I could gain some direction

All these years, I still seek affection



The snowflake flutters onto my nose

Piles of them, above the road they rose

Even past my cold, prostrate body

I wish for time to be frozen, stop



The leaves whirlpool around my stature

All the brown, gold, red, and orange consume

My thoughts, they spin in constant sequence

Past all the concepts of consequence



I love to be captive in His arms

His love, His kindness, it captures me

His nature so raw, it sweeps me up

And puts me face down in reverence



By: Joshua Murphy





Now let me hear yours....

Roses are red, Violets are blue

The sun rises again to shine anew

To show us a world where colors delight

And rain pours down just before the light

To nourish those flowers that bring us joy

Like a kid who just got his favorite toy
