Life- A vehement of thrill
ecstatic part is on one's last legs

Glass of life was considered full of stimulous
the stimuli is evaporating
now searching for a transient oasis

If you took a look
behind the smiles,
the smirks,
the laughter,
and blue eyes;
under the scars,
bruises,
calluses,
burns,
and ink,
I think
you'd look away.

How To Write A Perfect Poem

So you want to write a poem
That the world will want to view
One that is so special
It will change a life or two

You can try to make it funny
To make your readers laugh
Or maybe a love story
To bring a feeling back

You may want to bring them into it
Let them feel your pain
Or show them there's a different side
A new path they should take

You can let them see deep within
Show them something new
Have them ask a question
Or maybe answer one for you

You can write a perfect poem
If its what you want to do
Just take the time and feel the words
That are deep inside of you

Just know that many poems of the past
Get read by very few
Still each poem, your poem is just perfect
If it touches only you

Write your perfect poem

Poem by; Carl Joseph Roberts (Joe)

I left all I had behind
with you.
Moved on
into the wilderness,
exposed to the elements,
detached,
on guard,
starting anew.
But all I had
was everything I was.
So who am I now?
I wish I knew.
