love is music and poetry
its what day dreamers
were meant to be
the broken hearted
the lost and found
those of us in pain
we make our way each
and everyday
with a riddle
or a rhyme
sometimes with a heart
that is heavy
from things that have
been left unsaid
the sounds of love and poetry
rings on inside our heads
a compulsion of sorts
to bring things out of the dark
only in written word
can we express what is deep
inside our hearts
the loss and the pain
when we find love again
its all in a riddle
and a rhyme
our secret language
that belongs only
to us who really know
the pain
without poetry
we would be lost
a place without color
a world without trust
in our world of poetry
there is no color or war
we are all equal
and without hate
here we live inside our
utopia
we all support our losses our strength's
and our pain
love and our world of poetry
times that are filled
with tears and yet
when we cry
our tears are the ink on the page
our hand is the heart that has been broken
your eyes are the gift
and your words
bring the peace of mind
now
i leave
my
cares
behind

Oh. This is a nice little poem that you have going on in here.
You're words make you sound like you're just ready to burst from so much emotion if you don't let out in big mouthfuls. It's very cute and sweet natured. You did a good job of expressing yourself here.

and your words
bring the peace of mind"

Thanks For The Lovely Poem
I came here to comment on another of your featured poems and just as I got there my puter crashed - sorry - I like this poem and I like your style - I like the leaving your cares behind part - "Casting all your cares on Him, for He careth for you - Bless God - Joe (Dobar Dan)

speechless
wow...that's pretty much all I can say right now. It seems like this poem came from an entirely different world. I was listening to NIN when I clicked on this poem almost by accident and had to shut it off. this poem is beyond beautiful. I'd like to pick some favorite lines but I read it again and I couldn't. But the lines that spoke the most to me were the first six: love is music and poetry
its what day dreamers
were meant to be
the broken hearted
the lost and found
those of us in pain
incredible, I felt my heart twist when I read those and knew I was going to be hooked by this one. Beautiful job, thank you for writing this
-
Amazing Write
I live by this... I'd be lost without it.
without poetry
we would be lost
a place without color
a world without trust
in our world of poetry
there is no color or war
we are all equal
and without hate
here we live inside our
utopia
-
Good.
Good poem; enjoyed.
-
Wow...that's a great tribute...and it says for me too...
Thanks sweetie
Thanks for sharing

I really like what you did at the end, the way that you laid out your poem, there were some beautiful phrases in here, however i found some of it to be slightly repetitive, this poem took too long to express what you were trying to say, when you could have summed it up a little quicker, voicing the same thing with the same effect, this is just an opinion. even still i found this simple, yet beautiful, great write!
-
AWESOME!!!
This was a very heart felt piece of work. I really enjoyed it. I do not know what I would do without AP. I have met a lot of people here. I love reading everyone's poetry. Any kind of style. You are so right. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this. I wander what any of us would do without this outlet? Thank you for sharing & for making me remember not to take this for granted. You my friend has a wonderful flow with your words that grab deep in to my soul. I bow to thee! In Love & Light... Blessed Be! ~~Iridessa MoonFlower~~

Expression and discovery seeem to follow the thoughts here and gratitude would be so right, to be able to share our growth is a blessing...surprising and unfortunate...how rare...PK
-
WOW!
that is so true. very awesome poem.
-
Wonderful. Love the creative structure. The sentiment is sweet and complimentary, really brought into focus by the author's notes.
-
really pretty, the emotion in it is obvious andamkes up for anything else
-
Poetry is the voice of the human soul. I love it
-
Great!
It is truly amazing how cathartic writing is!You can leave all your cares behind!! Well written!
Harmony -
Awww these are so many true words....poets can create an utopia to leave the cares behind in their words...sometimes other poets can make you see things in a different perspective...helping to heal a saddend heart...Oh well...so much we can read and mean to one another....
Thank you too for inspiring me...

This is a beautiful write. Great message, and an even greater interpretation of what poetry is to us writers. Wonderful job, and thank YOU for writing.

I liked this very much. I thought the way you set it up was very effective, and the end was very clever, bringing the title into your poem in this dramatic ending. I thought your wording was excellent, and the flow was flawless. Very good job!

applaud!
love is music and poetry
its what day dreamers

~ wow thats the truth ... reading this put me back in my school desk... looking out the window and drifting off.Teachers always yelled at me for day dreaming!! HUGS for you poet .

You are so sweet! Thank you for this wonderful poem. it would inspire a lot more to write with more and more spirit. you are a true poet, who with such a good and clear heart would surely make a difference in the world. all the best wishes for your all the future writings. Great Great Work
-
what a sweet heart you are. When I saw the title I knew I had to read this but I had no idea it would read as if my thoughts had been given to you. I've been having a hard time expressing emotions the past few months since my mother passed but I knew that coming here and writing nonetheless would help me heal after a year of being gone.
I've not had such good luck in finding AP family or consistant friends as I wanted but still poems are friends. Your eyes have given me a gift. Every single word and line resonates in me, bubbles joy and hope. I especially love the first stanza though each is perfect.
This is MY NEW FAV Thank you hun Susan
-
Emotions I may say are expectacular !!Its a great write!
Writing to me is a way of freedom, relaxation and expression! Literature is a gain when we cry
“Our tears are the ink on the page
Our hand is the heart that has been broken”
Yes that sounds like an author
Congratz on this piece
I personally enjoyed it so much
~Zstarz -
Wonderful write here...! I really enjoyed it...
It's wonderfully written and beautifully done...
Thank you for the wonderful read
-
Well done, you have captured what poetry means to you and to those who read it great job, Blessings John
-
Hmmm for some reason the clappies didnt go thru.
-
I write poetry because it relaxes me and I enjoy reading it for the same reason. It sounds dull and uninteresting when I put it that way. You have really done a fine job explaining poetry poetically.
-
My favorite
"when we cry
our tears are the ink on the page
our hand is the heart that has been broken"
You express yourself so well
I hope to read more beautiful work from you ^_^
-
Very inspiring! You have truly captured what poetry itself means to each poet.
-
Wow this is outstanding. your words flow freely as i read each line. Thanks for sharing this with us. Thanks for the read and keep on writing
-
Uplifting
The written word shall set you free. This poem is beautiful, it really got me feeling. You expressed yourself well throughout. A personal thank you for posting this. Well done. -
This is very touching. I used to think that poetry was not something that I had any interest in it. I find it soothing. I dont write only about dark stuff, but writing keeps the dark stuff from overtaking me. You have expressed yourself well.
The title really reflects the rest of the poem well.
-
Hmm, it's very sweet. The part from line forty-six on to the end is my favorite. Very nice!
-
omg i love it ur a talented writer...keep it up!
-
How nice to thank others on this site; poets here do give encouragement, are helpful and do at times lend shoulders to cry on. Think you mean lost at the end of that one line. Keep writing.
-
Oh. This is a very nice and sweet natured poem that you have expressed here. It really does sound like a poem that is written about gratitued and I'm sure all the people that you wrote it for thought it was wonderful too. How could they not? I think that you did a good job of expressing yourself here.
-
a very touching poem with a positive tone. Poetry is like a pair of strong shoulders: sometimes to cry on, sometimes to lean on for support.
until exhale,

OMG bookmarking this!! What a powerful and awesomeness and out of ajectives (lol) poem!!
"when we cry
our tears are the ink on the page

"love is music and poetry

those of us in pain"
