Poem Artwork

Men revere justice
They talk in hushed tones
Of her beauty and her innocence
But I have seen the unspoiled one
whoring on the streets of this city,
offering herself to the highest bidder
She never was blind;
She just closed her eyes
And thought of the money.

 


Stupid Criminal Of The Month

Ian, sometimes that's the only way one can get through the day! Just close your eyes and hope it's all over when you find the courage to open them again.
This is one powerful write! Lisa

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
