This Peculiar Strange World | Anupama Mishra - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

This Peculiar Strange World | Anupama Mishra

Oh, this weary world
this suffering world,
where I have lost all
the joys of my life,
I never asked for luxuries to come
but never expected the tempest to come,
Oh, this strange pessimistic world
the sceptic people live here,
only wishing to downscale their friends.
Oh, this selfish world
seemingly beautiful but
not really nice.
Oh, this ironic world,
which seems something else
but gives nothing,
thus ravishing the hopes
and desires of one another
the people feel joyous.
Oh, this nimble world
attracts but attacks at the back
maybe the people will call me unsatisfied,
but the truth is that
the world is made of the people
who are really stupefied.

Life Is Personal | Lehr Niazi - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Life Is Personal | Lehr Niazi

The moments, those lost, lost forever,
But in heart, we forget them never.
Dare to face life, blood not be low,
If the hurdles are more, better to be slow.
Controversies of life, solve in time,
Before they may become a crime.
Never can catch again, the moment lost,
We are slow but life is very fast.
Don’t disturb anyone, enjoy your spring,
Life is personal, everyone is king.

Soul | Igor Goldkind - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Soul | Igor Goldkind

So who is this Soul that you sing of?
This silent witness
Who counts the leaves off of trees
instead of gathering them?
And raking them into a funerary pile,
Into the giant hill that your better self will fall from,
Or jump into.
Up to your eyeballs,
Up to your own private crown of thorns.

Enter into the Earth | Paula Hackett - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Enter into the Earth | Paula Hackett

Round 2
Because we are alive in this life,
because we feel and with a head full of nonsense,
we love.
Afraid of our fear,
of even our own wicked dreams.
Your shape turning from me.
Terror,
the cold insides of the moon.
Your words frail,
your speech in sadness,
always turning,
always away.
Because you thought,
and thinking now
you return.
Hoping again,
wanting a little less,
hoping for safety.
Forgetting and not forgetting.
Because of lasting things,
musical notes that make you sit and cry.
Weeping, praying with laughter
that these things always remain.

The One You Wear for Me! | John Baverstock - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

The One You Wear for Me! | John Baverstock

It’s time to talk about smiles,
They come in all different types of styles,
A half smile is always usually marked down,
As can often be compared to wearing a frown,
The forced smile, always looks unjust,
Makes you wary, and not keen to trust,
The welcoming smile, is good to see,
Almost top of the list for me,
A beaming smile, you can always make out a case,
But will only take second place,
Because the best smile,
Which I always love to see,
Is that one smile,
The one you wear for me!

I Love Her So Much Every Day | David P. Carroll - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

I Love Her So Much Every Day | David P. Carroll

I wake up in sunny Iran every day with a smile on my face
It’s just a beautiful place so warm and peaceful
My dreams are filled with the thought of loving you
I smile for my dreams have come true
Every day I fall in love with you
With you in my arms and
I hold you in my heart every night,
I’ll always be here for you through
Bad times and happy times
I love you so much more every day
You mean everything to me and you know it’s true
I’ll be here for you no matter what you say
My heart will always beat for you every day…
