Everything is Broken - 02/06/2018 by V. Blake As I write this, I don't actually know if it will post successfully. Let's see. Sorry to report that the owner of this website has abandoned it. We owe him eternal gratitude for all the work that went into building it in the first place, and for continuing to foot the bill that keeps it online at all. That said: we apologize for the bugs, but there's nothing we can do to fix them. CURRENT MEMBERS: Keep steady backups of your poetry. And everything else--that's just practical advice for a digital world. In case you didn't realize, private messaging does not work. Your messages are not reaching their recipients. The moderators can pick poems of the day. That's about it for our powers. APPLICANTS: I am sorry. Site errors will prevent me from making you a member.

Poem of the Day for 07/27/24 Clarity Of Love by Michael Defries I think about you all the time I fantasize about being near you Is it real or is it my imagination I can’t fathom the world without you. I see no demise in the epitome of love I only feel as though it were through you I need you in my life I crave you close. I want you in my arms At all times I need to hold you in my clutch For I feel you in my bosom. You are the one who makes it possible For the sun to shine and the moon to glow For the delicate balance of my heart in yours To feel absence no more. To ponder what this feeling in my chest My heart pounding so hard I feel it in my soul The hairs on my head tingle with excitement. When you brush your hand on my face I wonder all the wonderful things We could see, we can touch, we can laugh Visiting the scent of a foreign realm. Insanity will drive me to you It will drive me closer and closer The sun sets no more… Only as a swallow sings before journey. And flies to a new land, a new home Trusting its instincts to find What was always a nest Waiting to be built. As purpose finds love and spills Out from its bounty, its limitless Endeavor to harness nurture When we are together. Finally, the affinity will create Finite union between us So that we may rest at last. 03/01/2009 Visit Michael Defries's Library Clarity Of Love Copyright © 2024
