Imagine... just imagine A world with out poetry...
how would we learn about far away places...
About the mysteries of another' s Heart...
Do others feel the way i do about love?......
do their heart's break as mine......
about life... and all of its sweet treasures... or dark secrets...
If one is not good expressing verbally their feelings..... 
how would they express themselves?...
Yes there may be other ways, art, music... 
but there is simply no other beauty , than that of written word... even when written by another...

Comment by Ryan Butterfield on Saturday thank you note to camilla
by: ryan butterfield
i do not thank my angel,
who silently directs,
and patiently walks by my side,
day after day without complaint.
at times i do not listen
as gentle whispers on the wind
assist on the bumps in the road.
i do not see
the signs placed in my view
a blur on the racetrack of life.
repetitious deja vu,
tastes of mistakes already made,
are made again as i go straight for dessert.
the familiar scent of flowers in bloom
are lost as i wind through the maze of challenges.
but when it is still
and the moon stands as shepherd,
i feel the warm breeze
of my angels blanket of wings
covering me, and holding me tight.
and without judgment communes with me nightly,
to awaken my soul.

Comment by Robert Longley on Friday The Journey
Where is it you journey?
Where it is you’ve been?
You’re focused on the future
The question though is when
All of it reflective
Of days no longer here
Clinging to the memories
Of things you once held dear
The piece that you are missing
Is what you see each day
It is the now you’re living
Which prepares you for your way
So close your eyes to future
Or days preceding now
And focus on the present
For today will show you how
Comment by Robert Longley on Friday Forever
Forever as in always
No sense of time or place
Dreams go on unbounded
And reach to outer space
A symphony of feelings
No now, or then, or where
An instant point of knowing
Of all we feel and care
If only you could feel this
You’d know that all is well
And if I were to be there
Oh what a tale I’d tell
I know your dreams continue
They do much as do I
Forever’s not a concept
It’s love that never dies

If you don't cry for me I'll never learn to trust you Never know how to make you see I just want you to cry for me Just cry for me, please
If you play games with me, I might think I like you, Might think I could make you be Be someone that could cry for me But you'll never be, please
If you start to stay away I'll try a little harder Try to make you care for me Maybe I just want you to see You cannot see me, please
Please cry for me Don't do this to me I'd never do it to you Don't ask me to Cause I could never hurt you Never try to I'd never try to
We're not so young now, But you've not matured Why is your head, Filled with this blindness It tears me apart, That hole in my heart From you
Where have you gone, Whats made you so wrong You never used to lie to me Be better than me Hide from me You fool
If you don't cry for me, I'll be done with you somewhat Just be done since you can't see All the love that comes from me So much love its hard to breathe So hard to breathe Because you don't cry for me You never cry for me .
Timothy Cox
Everybody cries sometimes, and if you don't you should !!!
Comment by jennifer taunton on May 23, 2012 at 10:26am sometimes i am there
but others cannot see me
i see fire and ashes flying
around.
i see people arguing and ashese
flying around so i let them fly
because i am the only one that holds the sword.
its done the fire is almost out and ashes have
softly fell to the ground.
I tread softly around the broken smiles
and dirt from the war that we have all created.
I walk away. they are still holding there swords at me
pointing them at me. so i just walk on hoping that holding
my head is little bit higher than before.
so, i disappear, one with the world.
Peace will happen . the war is over
we all have to reconcile in order for
chaos to end, order to begin.

blue clouds, hot sun
melt my skin.
blue sky, mountains
meet together as
the vastness is enormous.
laying out on a lazy summer afternoon
i see that everything around me as
sky meets mountains.
such a beautiful site as
nature , wildlife come alive
on these ole summer times.
