Come walk with me

Hollow again as night now creeps
Upon this soul who never sleeps
Languishing in this loneliness
Whose chill winds even now doth press.

And evermore will scorch a heart
Eternally forced to live apart
Crying out in tortured plea
Won’t you please come walk with me?

CJ Mulcaster

I Will Remember You

When my eyes possess no more
The sparkle of their youth,
And shadows amass around my thoughts.
If one memory alone I am allowed to keep…
I will remember you.

When radiance of life is done,
And done too are all my dreams,
Like treasures banished to an ancient crypt.
If one vision alone I am allowed to see…
I will remember you.

And when too my body lay
Amid the mists of that eternal Styx,
Before a penny piece the boatman
…show more content…
Er…are they supposed to roam?
Oh no its jumped up on the car
Quick dad take me home!!!!!

All That I Have

And now whilst embers cool and die
Such little time is left to speak of truth,
So take these words that gave me life
As one last time I say, "I love you".

The sands of time ebb slowly to a rest,
Hold now my form in final soft embrace,
Let me feel your heart beat next to mine
That tender caress of lovers face to face.

As angels wait with wings in folded poise
This most precious gift I give, as God to me,
To know my love I ask you now to take
All that I have, my final breath, for thee. Gods Seed

I sowed a seed of grain so pure
Its bread would feed a thousand worlds
I watched the shoots begin to grow
Its wisdom shone as brightest pearls

From far and wide they watched in awe
As roots spread out with rapid ease
The strength of truth in every cell
It brought the chaff to bended knee

Ripened by the light of life
It offered bounty for the store
Its harvest though proved rich and pure
Became outstripped by cries for more

I watched my seed made spent and bare
I heard its last forsaken cries
Could they have killed this gift of mine
If they had looked through fathers

    Being an editor for my publication Unnamed Trademarked Patent Pending has its up and its downs but writing an anthology for Gwendolyn Brookes, Sherman Alexie, Lucille Clifton, Sylvia Plath and Gary Soto was eye opening. These are some of the best poets that I have had the opportunity to read and appreciate in my lifetime. The diversity among the bunch was very fulfilling, from poetry about racial tension, native American culture, women empowerment, depression to young love. Initially the poems were picked at random but I think they came together perfectly by balancing each other out and ending with fiery.…

    1-3. Share three specific insights you got out of my discussion of J. Herrera. I was able to understand the poem more in depth from your discussion and see that it was about migrant farmers, who came to this country for all of these great reasons and to improve their lives. Then when they get here they find out they are exiled in the new country just like they were from their old country. In the video you also discussed how they come here legally or illegally and find out that they cannot follow the American dream like they thought.…

    The Climb Poem Analysis

    • 130 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The song that I chose is “the climb”, by Miley Cyrus, the reason I chose this song is because when I was younger I would always go around the house singing this song without realizing the strong meaning behind it. There is many literary devices in “The Climb” one of them is mountain that she is climbing, it is a symbol for life barriers. Another literally device that is used is personification, when Cyrus says “but there’s a voice inside my head saying you’ll never reach it”. In addition the line “there’s always gonna be another mountain, im always gonna wanna make it move”, is a metaphor for having to deal with problems that occur in life. The climb does not have a rhyme scheme it is a free verse.…
