Poets Media isolates the most poignant, powerful, and exquisitely composed verses and quotes in the universal poetry canon.

Edmund Spencer
`The theme Sidney writes about within this particular sonnet is about love like many of his other poems, as well as intertwined with the inevitable aging of time and the fading of the world. He does however change the tone compared to many other poems. He begins by expressing his despair about love and how time will always prevent him from eternally having his lover. Uniquely at the end stanza, he changes this tone to a hopeful and faith filled belief about love. His conclusion is that even though the world will end and their body along with the rest of the world will age, fade and die. Despite this, he knows that their love will live forever through their spirit. He knows this because their love is divine and so pure and true that their souls will be kept together among the heavens.

His soiled tears fell without haste to the ground on which he now stood upon forming particles of salt behind his eyelids now so dry, burning harsher than

Amber Light, Right Here, Right Now
Let me lay before the fire, like a cat outstretch with purring delight , for the winter winds howl against the window , battering snow into drifts across a wooded view, yet all the while we are sheltered from this storm.

What the author meant
H mm. Let's say I hate literature. Not literature itself, but the teachers who teach them. Take this for example:- Author: The curtains were blue.

The Lord Can Do Anything For You, Except This
The lord can do anything but this, just another poem of the times This and one other thing the lord can’t do. Now, hiss, and chew.

Silent Shores
I've come to know the power of drawing a line where I once wanted vast openness and deep connection outside of myself. The line is one that will hold me in silence as I embrace being alone, yet not lonely.

Silent Shores
I see a line drawn. How did it get there? Did I draw it, was it you or did we both draw it? Communication seems to fall short of this line. Perhaps the depth expressed is too deep for you to meet me at this moment on the journey. Perhaps I cannot reach the shallowness of your shores. Though now I am assuming and here lies the danger of creating illusions spell. Instead I will speak of what I know to be my truth.

Nolita
You are my every influence within this quick Nolita morning; a faded rose sky turns my fingertips into crystal caverns that cradle warmth into a secret I can hold in my hand.

A Sonnet of Lovely Things
I feel love , by E Lloyd Kelly (the-poet) This is “love” that I’m feeling. Hey. You there, fix your face. Drop that frown and put on a smile in its place.

my side
I've listened to what other's had to say about me, like they know me, thinking they got it all figured out. yelling at me trying to show me that without them I'm nothing like I owe them something, are we really gonna play these games now? I got people telling me to listen to more than one story when that's all they are listening to but when someone wants to tell you different you don't want to hear it that's kinda rude.

Pulse
I'm walking on broken ground. An acrid tincture squeezes blood from my tongue to leave me muted in situ. Waiting to be usurped.

Dear Doctor..
I think it is normal to feel anxiety when going to see the doctor. I think it starts as a child, going to see a doctor when you are sick or even for a checkup. But we know they are here to help, and having faith that the doctor can fix you, it would be silly to ever be scared of your doctor right?
