Honestly I started writing to impress a chick, but then I liked it. Now I write all the time just cuz I like it. I dig mixin words together that I never heard together before and it just makes sense to me.

I write for the sake of my future. For our children's future. For that stormy night, I watched my friend fall into the Earth...to always remember. To bring life. To sustain all that is naturally possible within our forgotten minds. That page is my canvas. My pen strokes creates illustrations for the reader to embark upon. It is my gift, the last relic of my physical form on this world. The only blueprint that showed the secrets of my mind that I do not share, even with myself. To liberate the locked souls or to assuage the pain of the fallen. We are all travelers on this plane, searching for meaning and understanding. I am just the cartographer who will leave behind what I find for the advancement of the proverbial soul of the human race.

I write so i can rap the shit afterwords to make me feel good

I write to entertain myself with stories about drugs and all the angles of life (like depression, death and......idk)

I write to describe the auras going in my head

I write to not make sense

i write to make blunt cliche sense

i write because it gives me some worth

I been ducking this thread for the longest, cause I can't answer it. Y'all got some inspiring, deep, and profound reasons to pick up that pen. Type on that keyboard. Or whatever you do. Me, not so much. I don't know if that's good or bad, but whatever. It's just me making an observation if anything.

Peace. I'm glad you took the time to read some of your stories as to why we write poetry.. we all have poetry within us.. it's up to us how we want to express it..

GOD'S GIFT TO ME

If you Believe

God

Gives Us

Each a Gift.

Then you

Will Know

Mine Is

From Him.

I Did not Go

To School

As Others Did.

I Did not Go

To High School

To Reach

The Grades

I Should.

I Heard

The Call

Answered

Faith.

My Life

Was

Not

My Own.

When

I Was Young,

I Had

To Take

The Path

That was

Given Me.

No Parents

But an Orphan's

Home.

For

Seventeen Years

I Walked

The Way.

Then The Army

Came To Me.

It Was A Way

To Set Me Free.

Little Did I Know,

The Cost

It Would Take.

It Led Me

To Nam,

Where

I was

Out of Place.

Through The War,

I Tried My Best.

Faith Was Shaken

By The Test.

Then I Came Upon

A Mine.

I Kept My Legs

And My Mind.

When I Found

I Could not Walk,

I Cried Out

To My God.

I Called Upon

His Name To Help.

My Faith

Was not With me.

The Walk

Would not Be Easy.

Though

I Have Wheels Today.

Now Through

My Writings,

I Found

He Is At My Door.

For When

I Reach Heaven.

All The Sorrows

Will Be Gone.

I Am Finding,

He Has Given Me

His Heart.

Blessed Me

With A Purpose.

That I May Reach

Your Heart.

Dedicated To Scotty G

A Soul

Who Hopes

To Be A Poet

A Poeatreeman

I Hope

I Have Helped You,

To Understand.

It Takes All Your Heart

And Faith, To Stand.

Walk The Way

That Will Lead To Him.

The Path

Will Not Be Easy.

The Efforts

Will Win The Way.

Your Efforts

Will Not, Go

Un-rewarded.

Yet Look Not

For Them Today.

They Will Come

Upon You.

In Many

Different Ways.

Look Not

To Man,

To Reap

The Harvest.

For Truth

Is Only

Held By One.

Keep Faith,

It Will All

Take Place

One Day...

Its been while I haven't been this site, I thought something happen!...lol.! The reason why I type is fun, exciting, exploring, is like escape from the world. Once you into typing is like you can't stop. Its not about making fun people, its also education, understanding its mind exploring and to empress family, new comers, and friends. I like poetry so much it can take you to a dream world...maybe one day be famous!....Poetry is artistic and creative. I believe everyone should try it, its a great experince...thanks for having me back and great luck!

POEATREEMAN: DO YOU REMEMBER ? | SYRIA'S FREEDOM

HOW MANY HEARTS WILL HAVE TO DIE;

BEFORE WE REALIZE IT IS OURS ?

Look around World Syria it is happening again

ALL NATIONS FATE; WILL BE OURS TO FACE. WHEN RIGHT FAILS TO ACT.

DEATH TAKES ITS TOLL

WHILE HUMANITY

SITS ON ITS TOES.

THE UNITED NATION

IS IMPUDENT.

CHINA AND RUSSIA

ARE THE SAME.

WITH ALL THE COUNTRIES

THAT FAILED TO ACT.

THEY ARE ALL; JUST THE SAME.

DO YOU REMEMBER ?

REMEMBER

WHAT HAS PASSED.

THOSE WHO

FOLLOWED THROUGH.

THE EVENTS

HISTORY HAS CAPTURED

FOR THEY MAY

HAPPEN TO YOU

WHO CARES ?

IF WE DO NOT

REMEMBER

OUR PAST

SORROW MAY

REMIND US

TODAY MAY BE

OUR LAST.

DO YOU REMEMBER

ALL THAT

HAS PASSED AND GONE

FOR IF YOU DO NOT

SORROW

WILL BE ALONG

TO REMIND YOU

OF ALL

THAT HAS GONE.

POEATREEMAN

HISTORY IS RECORDED

BY EVENTS

THOSE WHO WRITE IT

LET HISTORY BE THE PEN.

POET’S NOTE

THEY SAID

IT COULD NOT HAPPEN TWICE.

IT HAPPENS

MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

WHERE IS HUMANITY

WAITING

FOR IT TO SHOW.

LOOK AROUND WORLD

IT’S HAPPENING

HERE TODAY.

TRUTH WILL HAVE THE LAST SAY.

HUMANITY I COULD NOT FIND

HOPE HAD DIED, FOR MAN WAS LOST

PEACE WAS FIGHTING TO THE END.

MANKIND FOUGHT ALL ITS FRIENDS

TOMORROW HISTORY CANNOT WRITE AGAIN.

TODAY IS VALENTINE

WERE IS LOVE

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - Lyrics

THE BEST OF ME

I Always

Hope,

When you

Look at me.

You Will

See

The Light.

Not

The Shadows.

To Take

The Best of me

So I

Won't Overshadow.

For If

I Have

A Darker Side.

Try

To Find

The Best of Light.

To Cast

The Shadows

Out of Sight.

Knowing

All

Is What you See.

To Find

The Best

Of What is me.

A Poeatreeman

God's Light

Will show a better me.

GOD'S LOVE

WILL BE WITH ME

POET’S NOTE

GOD RECEIVES ALL

THE GOOD THE BAD

THE RICH THE POOR

THE FRAIL THE WEAK

THE STRONG THE MEEK

THE SICK THE LAME

WE ARE HIS CHILDREN

JUST THE SAME

I AM WHAT GOD MADE

HUMAN AT TIMES

FLAWED

BY MY OWN FATE

LEFT TO MY MISTAKES

HIS LOVE DOES NOT END

WHEN WE ARE GONE

HIS LOVE CONTINUES

WHEN WE ARE REBORN.

I HOPE YOUR LOVE

WILL CONTINUE

TO GO ON.

IS NOT LOVE?

Is not love

a child?

It toys

with my heart

Is not love

a puppy?

It plays

around inside

Is not love

a child?

It is

as innocent

as a doe

Is not love

happy?

Its smile

goes through

your heart

Is not love

caring

When

no one

else does?

Is not love

sharing

When

you feel it

all inside?

Is not love

pouring

When

it washes

through

your heart?

Is not love

grand

When

it takes you

to the stars?

Is not love

beautiful

When

I feel

the smile

from God?

Is not love

loving

When

it takes me

to its heart?

A THOUGHT!

If there

is no one there

to hold you

Just reach

for God instead

If there

is no one there

to care for you

Care

for God instead

If there

is no one there

to take your heart

Give it to all

who don't have love.

Dedicated to Leo

One love sick puppy

milk bones won't do

Your Friend a Poeatreeman

The only pain

I cannot feel

Is that pain

that has no love

The only hurt

that really hurts

Is the feelings

I let go

TO THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA AND THE WORLD

WHISPERS OF MY FATHER - MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE

by Susan Boyle with lyrics - YouTube.flv

LET US

Let us

serve God,

that all can

be served

Let us

listen,

that all

may

be heard

Let us

have peace,

that no war

will be won

Let us

have understanding,

that wisdom

may come

Let us

not hurt,

that all

may feel loved

Let us

all care,

that we may

share the world

Let us

not hate,

for there will be

no one to love

Let us

be one,

with no race

to be won

Let us

be human,

remembering

we are one

Let us

try harder,

to give

to each one

Let us

take heart,

in this race

we call human.

A THOUGHT!

I am half of myself,

When

I divide the whole

I am whole

when I see only one

I am complete,

When

there is no one to oppose.

Dedicated To The World

TO THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA

A Poeatreeman

If one tear

falls for love

Let it be

I cared for all

If one tear comes

To touch my soul

Let it be

God's love

If one tear lets me

feel its pain

It will not hurt

unless I cared

If one tear comes,

to touch the world

Let it be

I shed my love..
