The nature of a doorway
is both open and shut.
Wait not for the mending of time
'for tending your bruises and cuts.

Ask the moon if she prefers
fullness over cast in shadow.
Her reply, "A darkened sky
makes oceans no more shallow."
BB Tyler Sep 2014
Let's make a poem that breaks words,
Let's leave them worthless, let's see them unheard.
Only then will the silence be broken
and we will turn back into rainfall and birds.
BB Tyler Sep 2014
Here in the night
among the stars
the song of crickets
uninterrupted
like summer storms
or wild fire.

Us entangled,
two nets meshed
and stretched around a ring
into dream catcher
to fetch the best thing
you've never seen.

In the night,
bright and shining,
when all the lights dying
finally died,
we fed each other blind
new picked fruit
from the last and grandest tree
we found ourselves,
in the dark,
left tethered to.

We waited in the night, hands clasped
for the stars to come back
and the light to return to the dew,
as we well knew
it might do.

Should a poem be measured by letter
or rather, shall we read it aloud?
BB Tyler Sep 2014
When all you see are shadows
the source of light is right behind you.

Hey guys

I have found several Daily Poems from this site being shared externally with no acknowledgement to the rightful owner :(

Head over here....

http://thepoetryden.wordpress.com/author/thepoetryden/

and if you find your original work there then I highly encourage you ask this person to either a) link the poem back to your original or b) remove them from his site. He claims to be a poet and is misleading people by not putting original names/original links to the works he is posting!

Go through them carefully as the titles of the poems have been changed.

Please share this because I have read at least 3 poems from this site from 3 different people over there with no acknowledgement to the original author!

Update ~ Sept 6th 2014 ~ You are NOT going to believe this. I found Shane Linville on Facebook and you will never guess who is one of his favourites! Chris G Vaillancourt! That's right, the very same well known plagiarist from days gone by at HP. He was such an insidious piece of work

*******! Not the way I'd like to see my name next to a Daily Poem but getting the awareness out there is a nice thing too :)
Update... To those listed below with stolen poetry who can't access the link to the blog because its been made private you can still contact word press to advise them and they can check the blog to make sure it's been removed. His name is Shane Linville! I'm just sorry I didn't have time to go through everything he had posted :(
The link above contains the following stolen poetry (that I know so far)
Indifference by Purple Orchid is posted as Her Soul
The Bells of Civilizations Ring by Sjr1000 is posted as World of Disease
Morning Light by Silas is posted as Morning Light (no name change but no link to the original)
I am Stone by imadeitallup (no name change but no link to the original)
A Fool for You by MYstro mAdden posted as Your Love
These a just a few... If you know any of the above poets... please share with them
