Silence is empty
But only of sound
Its filled with many thoughts
Enough you could drown

It can take many forms
To each their own
Just like a reflection
Of what you would rather, keep unknown

It can be blissful
Once you exit the ring
Relaxing your muscles
Like the first warmth of spring

It can be scary
Lonely and deep
Echoing the feeling
Deep in your chest, as you go to sleep

For good or for bad
Silence is rare
No matter what kind
It is like a heard prayer

If, but a moment,
she's held by the air
steeping in the still light,
and decides it belongs not
to the bells or the Hands
of the wall or those to come --
but in hers.

If, but a moment,
she sees what's for
a thousand night's been sung,
And yet, it rests not
in the forms or firmament
pitched upon the dark of covered Eyes --
but in hers.

If, but a moment,
by her grace,
she may make herself
or more what she wills.

Then, but a moment,
may I be.

Dear Moon,
You yearn for the love of the sun,
changing your presence.
Why do you run?
Hiding yourself so others can shine;
gleaming only in darkness ever so divine.
You look for strength in the waves
Never still, just twenty seven days.
Breaking yourself for the heartbreaking fact that you are constantly wondering if you will stay intact.

Eclipse. Twice a year you have the chance
to meet your love and have a dance. Eclipse.
Deep within the galaxies, dreaming of living your fantasies.
Desolate darkness. The sun is away,
lighting her fire in the month of May.
Burning so bright, but there’s nothing else to say.

She waits to see you glisten, to watch and even listen.
Curses herself for her fatal passions of a love too strong that has no ration.
But your love is forbidden. Why do you race?
Dear Moon, is it worth the chase?

I am a simple man, with simple words
one must be obliged of making said words
if one wishes to create a poet's account
with furtive clicks from his furtive mouse

I'm making this poem to explain my reasoning
to share my words like a crisp dry riesling
but more importantly, I wish to contact a lady
first name Sharron, last name perry

her poem has inspired me to write about
gender, equality and I believe without a doubt
that her inspiring words have met my essay
about men and women and who has more say

so allow me through your gates of request
do not tempt me with emails, newsletters or lest
I will be forced to abandon all love
for this wonderful site which fits me like a glove
What a nice site to ask their people to write poetry to get in! anyway here is my first poem. made during the covid-19 outbreak. Enjoy!

A fortress within, sacred to the home around
Shown to only few, if only others knew
It keeps me safe and sound

When they call it
butterflies,
what do they mean?
A small delicate creature
that lands on your arm
raising each hair one-by-one
as it travels towards your hand.
The nervous flutter in your stomach
that you can never escape
no matter how hard you try.
A light floating feeling
that raises your cheeks
and stops you
from coming back down.
I don’t know why they call it
butterflies.
All I know
is you give them
to me.

sat here all alone
"you're gone"
still hard to hear
when I'm still here,
stuck with what we used to be

tried reaching out,
"I don't love you anymore"
you shouted so loud.
i was your favorite place to go
but you found another home
it's hard to start again when you're still stuck with someone...  Hi everyone!! it's my first time to create poem on this site. hope you liked it :))

I pretend to love him.
To love the game.
To love the
Fun.
But I'd rather be with you.
I'd rather find my
way on
the strings
of that
violin, than
to try and
keep up with
the beat
of the
Drums.

I first knock at your door
To see if this really is it
To find a meaning to my life
I wonder if you really are the one
Deep down I wish it is you
But right above it, there is a storm
Fear, anxiety and despair in a swirl
Only if you could open this door for me
could I really reach out
To the limitless universe of words
Words were always my best friends
And once I see you on the other side,
I will say, "Hello Poetry, I am home".
My submission for the "Request an invite to Hello Poetry"
