Reviews of this website
DennisGNL rated 12 months ago- Great site with poetry from people writing themselves. Would be great if the content grows more and it can become a great resource for those special moments you need a good poem.

- Two Voices Carl Newlen If she couldn't be with you, would you still love her? I don't know. I mean, if she loved you, but couldn't be with you, would you love her? Yes, if she loved me. But that emptiness would be dark. How dark? There would be a shadow that hung to your feet, tripping you all the time, as big as a tent, cold and heavy. And what if it would never go away, always there even on the brightest of days? I would still love her. If that shadow stayed with you, your knees and elbows bruised from falling, and you'd see her reflection in the water glass at every restaurant, or in all the windows on all the streets you'd walk? I would be glad for that. Because of love? Yes, because of love. And when you are walking around this way, people would stare at you, and they wouldn't understand why? I understand, and it's okay if they wouldn't. What if they thought the shadow was for something else, something it didn't mean? I would know what the shadow was for. If the shadow kept away others who would love you, who could be with you? I've done that already while looking for her. And if the shadow was forever - I mean your entire life - would you still? Yes, I would live that way. What could I do - I have dreamed of her so much, now that all the doors of my heart are opened, lost as I am, afraid to want more, what could I do?

- From the page: " Open My Heart Carl Newlen I open my heart (because I didn't know what you feared I feared everything - thought 'a cold swift river emptying into nothing' - too afraid to lose you as you were and I as I am because it felt like endlessness when I looked at you last, I thought 'bury these notes in a box in the earth and turn away' - remember you as you were, I as I am because now I know, and like the past we are not ending - we ended,so forget I said forever, then begged for a moment - but oh how it was! - you as you were with me as I am because I don't know what to feel this far from your life - through the window I watch that tree the wind keeps batting around - so worn out and still I am far from anything) and let you go." A good poem .Barring the opening line and the fragment of line at the end everything is in parenthesis.Everything needs to be told in explanation. It is as though whatever needs to be told is only a little ;it is the annotation that finally makes it stand on its own.Watch that tree the wind is batting around .Watching ,the poet still is far from anything.

- You As You Were I open my heart (because I didn't know what you feared I feared everything - thought 'a cold swift river emptying into nothing' - too afraid to lose you as you were and I as I am because it felt like endlessness when I looked at you last, I thought 'bury these notes in a box in the earth and turn away' - remember you as you were, I as I am because now I know, and like the past we are not ending - we ended, so forget I said forever, then begged for a moment - but oh how it was! - you as you were with me as I am because I don't know what to feel this far from your life - through the window I watch that tree the wind keeps batting around - so worn out and still I am far from anything) and let you go. by Carl Newlen
