I’m not the Poet,
I’m the poem.
I’m not the paper, not the pen.
I’m not the hand.
I’m a fairy land.

This is the best blog bout poetry n nice n inspiring for me 🙂
a little poetry from me!
Why I am not forgetting you.
Why Inside depth of my heart endless love for you,
You are not with me but still I am regretting for you.
Why I am not forgetting you.
Why, while I am unconscious always dreaming for you.
When I am alone in dark night why I am screaming for you.
I travelled highway roads, I rundown on hill way roads, to escape from you.
I climbed up mountain, I dived into Dead Sea, and I walk in hot red deserts.
I go everywhere to forget you, where my memory not remembers you.
Whatever I do I feel my heart not with me he is always follow you.
To forget you,
I drink alcohol, I smoke cigarette, and I take marijuana,
I did all these things to forget you.
thats a nice sample of poetry .. it seems im also with that feeling when i had a problem with my relationship …

Hi, my name is Arthur L. Seymour. I live in the Bahamas, I’m looking for any performance, stand up
poetry gig even if there is no payment involved I would like to
display my talents. I have been performing my act in the Bahamas for
over 4 years. We don’t have a vehicle for poetry in the Bahamas so my
talent is wasting. I need an audition and chance to show what I’m
about even if there is no money involved. YOU WON”T REGRET IT, they
call me the Bahamian Tyler Perry because of my style. I have a variety
of poems, I sent a few of my stuff for your viewing pleasure but
that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This is my calling, I can write a
piece in a day, shoot, edit and film. If you don’t think I’m unique
please ignore my email, if you do please provide a way for me to
showcase what I’m about.

CLIMB
If I was to climb the tree,
will you be there to help me?
Tell me before I begin
to reach out and grab a limb.
Will you assist me to get on track,
would you even let me on your back.
Will you stand and watch me as I crawl
up the tree to pick for all.
will you direct my path up to the sun
so I could grab the biggest one.
Tell me that you’ll be outside
waiting for me with a bag.
Well, will we stilll be together
to eat the fruits of our labour?
Or will you up and disappear
as soon as you get your share.
I want to know you’ll be around
waiting for me to come down.
But what interest me most of all
is will you catch me if I fall?
BROKEN
I am lost and on my own
Disconnected I stand alone
A fragment of what was before
Severed and joined as one no more
The missing piece has been and gone
Detached from where it should belong
Separated, dichotomized
From what it previously occupied
I’m now a part of something new
And I can’t be fixed with crazy glue.
The sharp jagged edges mean a lot
hurts deeper than a paper-cut
Desolate I roam the land
Like broken glass tossed on the sand.
Segregated, there I lie
Like pointy splinters cast aside.
Disengaged so many years,
Holding on to shattered tears.
Torn apart, I’ve learned to blend in
To what are now my surroundings.
Divided, I long for the days of old.
And to what made this broken man,
Whole.
HAUNTED
I swear I have seen a ghost.
“It” was the one I loved the most.
Appearing after all this time,
just so “It” could haunt my mind.
Why is “It” horrifying me
still remains a mystery.
When I thought I paid my dues,
“It” scared me out off my shoes.
Go away, that’s what I prayed
because “It” made me afraid
Terrified to ask “It” why
it wouldn’t go away and die.
I thought that “It” would’ve stayed
locked inside a hollow grave.
covered with petals and stems,
never to be seen again.
Now that my life is back on track,
“It’s” giving me a heart attack.
I was so startled I began to melt.
“It” already made “its” presence felt.
If you need a description,
“It” to me is an addiction.
Returning after all this time,
reincarnated to haunt my mind.
Psychotic wife murdering poem.
Wild and young.
At first it was fun
wild and young
and the days go by
the arguments begun
first the shouting
next the doubting
third the hitting
and then the counting
days got longer
as the hitting got stronger
blood started to leak
she started to weep
I’m opposed a threat
to people around
to them I upset
they cry on the ground
she annoys me more
when she gives people them looks
so when we get home
there’s a recipe to cook
I cut her up
season her with herbs
cook her good
and feed her to the birds.
