I am a borrower
collecting things that shine
all stashed in cracks and hidey-holes
where the rafters meet the roof
in the basement floorboards
lift one and you'll see
the treasures I've collected
two gorgeous glassy eyes
seven gilded antique buttons
a bouquet of sweetly fragrant lilies
a gleaming jar of pixie dust
three noble barristers
an Irishman netting butterfly dreams
a sorceress of the endless prairie
windmills like soldiers all in a line
the saddest porcelain doll
a small brown bear
trains screaming by on underground rails
a sprinkling of desert blooms
six jack-in-the-boxes so I'm always surprised
the hairless stuffed dog that bit me as a child
a Rickenbacker bass softly riffing the blues
a farmer's Ovation to accompany my woes
seashells that sing the ocean breeze
a merman from the Northern seas
tucked away in every space
packed within each sweet hollow
these simple pleasures I have borrowed

I have read so many wonderful poems,
haiku's, 10 words, so many more, and none are alike!
But we tend to forget about spoken word poems,
Hello Poetry, can you make it possible to share our spoken words as well as our massive pile on's of endless poetry. Spoken Words would add to the sight, and only make it better.
I wish I could also Use Hellopoetry on my mobile phone, in an app,
I'm not sure about anyone else, but that would maybe add to HP

Please consider what I've had to say, c:
Please send repost like and share and comment anything else you think the sight needs since it's growing in great ways. Please share and like if you agree c:

Can you see that soldier wearing white.
Marching peacefully in the night.

He made a promise not to fight.
Until he realizes what is right.

Can you see the killers monstrous size.
Too bad he's lead by two blinded eyes.

He is fed by a spoon of countless lies.
Full of arrogance, unable to realize.

And the young child hanging on an endless pole.
Afraid of falling into a black hole.

And the woman searching through her soul.
Desperately trying to find her role.

Open your eyes to see the light
It's a shame to think, whats wrong is right.
Put in mind that every night ends with light.

Perfection was never an achievement,
it was always a goal.
Trying to change it up.

Happiness is an internal sensation.
Not caused by an external temptation.

Happiness is a psychological reaction,
That follows complete satisfaction.

Happiness comes when escaping worldly pleasures,
And when anticipating heavenly treasures.

Happiness can't be bought with money or wealth.
It is achieved when one frees himself.
I wish you all are happy

To myself I make a promise,
A vow to be all I can be;
To live up to my full promise,
To the true potential in me.
