The Family Castle by Nancy Rakovszky

Our castle stands atop the hills
And offers strength of spirit
Place your hand little one unto mine
And I shall lead you to it.
***************
The family castle is now your home
The stones grow ever stronger
For the castle’s built on love and hope
Alone you are no longer.
*****************
Behind these walls that rise up high
Lies a garden lush and green
It’s offerings [...]

Lost Wanderer by Alotta

This poem touched my heart because it was written by the victim of a rapist and I know how she feels
I know the pain that she will live with all her life. Rapists and abusers are the dregs of society and no one can truly understand the pain that they cause unless they have [...]

Fifteen Crosses by Lisa Teller

I had a dream I was kneeling, at fifteen crosses on the hill
Not a whisper from the trees, everything was still,
I felt a sadness in my heart, an empty kind of pain,
Fifteen souls had gone away, only memories remained.
I tried to cry out to ease my grief,
Lifted my hands to heaven, prayed God’s relief.
Not a [...]

Hope by Brian Quinn

When all about you is black with gloom,
And all you feel is pending doom.
When your bones are racked with grim despair,
When every breath is a gasp for air.
Keep on going, though you need to grope,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.
************
A ray of hope is perhaps all that’s left,
As your will to live [...]

The Hardest Thing I Ever Did

The hardest thing I ever did
Was tell you we were through,
But given the circumstance
What else could I do?
We talked for hours of trivial things
Well into the night,
And as we talked it came to me
I had to give up the fight.
I took a breath and closed my eyes
And said that you was free
Tomorrow in the light [...]

Free

The first time that I saw you I knew you were the one for me,
And yet I knew deep in my heart that this could never be,
I worshipped every part of you, your face, your smile, your touch
But I could never let you know that I wanted you so much.
I couldn’t bear the pain [...]

A Life Of A Different Kind

Why spend your life dreaming?
Wishing things would change,
Why is it that everything you want
Is out of your price range.
Have you not discovered the secret yet?
You can have whatever you choose,
The power lies within you,
Its up to you whether you win or lose.
If you think that you can’t do it,
Then you’ll never ever try,
And you will [...]

When They Say “Mentoring For Free” They Mean It

Have you ever thought about starting your own web site but you don’t know where to start? There are so many Guru’s out there offering to show you what to do but it comes at a cost. Usually what is offered is a whole load of products that you really do not need. [...]

Love Makes The World Go Round by Yvonne Horton

My love is with you as you sleep
I’ll float into your head
I’ll keep a tender watch over you
I’ll be sitting on your bed,
As you stir I’ll fade away
You won’t know that I was near
To keep you safe throughout the night
And take away your fear.
My Love for you is ever there
It will never go astray
It stays [...]

On Being Asked For A War Poem by W.B Yeats

I think it better that in times like these
A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right;
He has had enough of meddling who can please
A young girl in the adolescence of her youth,
Or an old man upon a winter’s night.
