“Who am I? I'm a poet. What do I do? I write. And how do I live? I live.” –Rodolpho, in Puccini's La Bohème Before Passion Becomes Philosophy Such Beauty Such Fair Beauty That We Should Know In Them And Call Them Ours… The Rose, Symbol of Passion. The embodiment of life. Its scent enchanting... Its petals enticing... In each silky-smooth...  fragile fold... Images of past, present, and future Are suggestively rendered And ready to be found. The Rose, Symbol of Philosophy The representation of opposites. A source of profound beauty And at the same time, If one fails to grasp it properly, A source of prolific pain And resonant regret. This Blog is dedicated to the Passion of Life Before the Philosophy of tomorrow gives it Its meaning. The yearnings... the longings... The desirous aching found Within each unrestricted beat Of a man's heart. This is my story and these are my songs Now and for all time WELCOME TO THE PLAYGROUND OF MY MIND…

I'm a teenage experimental poet, song writer, and author. I come from a good home but a not so good past. I explain myself through poetry and writing, because there is no other way to described me. I'm just awkward. I have severe depression and anxiety, along with other problems and struggles, and writing helps ease it all. I have love and passion for my work, and I plan on becoming a published author in the future. I try to use all senses of perspective in my writing; I wish to help change the world one poem at a time. ***PLEASE DO NOT COPYRIGHT WHAT IS PUBLISHED ON THIS BLOG.

My mind is dark, But my heart beats with a beaming Red,

I'm a young artist from the south and I write simply because I can't resist.

I am not that verbal because I have always believed that pouring ink onto my life will speak for me until forever comes because what I write no man can eliminate for it is contagious.

I like to express my feelings and post poems of the things im going through hope yall like my poems and follow me

“I don't wanna write that down, but I don't wanna keep it in my head either.” ~Andrea Gibson

A book full of love From the man above Here I stand Praying out to the streets To get off their feet Not here to teach Just show a better way If we come together Will see better days

We are but a dream within a dream

I hope this page and the poetry I put here will keep me from doing the impetuous things that have already gotten me in so much trouble. I have a very hard time not expressing myself honestly and the world really doesn't appreciate that, no matter what they say.

"Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea."

God is Love!!

Novice female poet writing for leisure.

I love writing poems they inspire me to do more and more in life I'm a 15 year old high school student

My life has been a journey & still is . i take the good with the bad . what doesn't kill me makes me a better writer .

I'm Jessica, I live and go to college in Florida. Almost all of my poems started out as song lyrics with tunes and repeated chorus's but I narrowed them down into poems, it's the same kind of expression regardless. I figure that it somewhat applies, so to understand my form of writing a little more, I am an INFP. I have always had a passion for wordplay and writing; It's awesome how many different forms of writing there are and how many ways it can be expressed, as with art in general. Follow and I will read/comment on your poems that I really like. Happy writing :)
