Best Defined Poems

She is not defined by  poetry alone
born a dreamer  in a realist family of drones 
they made her adept, at many things ;  
Patchwork designs of beauty she did make 
with quilted fingers of youth and vigorous eye 
Lattice thoughts that mounted...

You once told that I was beautiful
 Later on,after kids and weight gain
Your perception of me began to alter
You didn't look at me with loving eyes
I had changed in your eyes…….
You said I had repulsed you
For years I put up with your abuse
Your vicious words...

Valiant we stand over enemies defined
The lives we laid down weigh heavy on our minds

Years of defiance, hatred and pain
The countless dead like drops of rain

Death and destruction, toil and despair
Fear from above as bombs fall through the air

War is defined as living in hell
to...

I won’t say I’ve always known
but always, something was wrong
defined by a chromosome
defined by what they put on

to be “me” is alien
that’s if they let “me” be me
they say I’m not who I am
they tell me what to believe

imagine not knowing “you”?
no clothes, these are...

Love Defined

You say you want to be with me
Then these truths you must know
Because, my love, you have to see
It’s more than the feeling we show

True Love does not want to control

From deep within the very soul
Where the flame of...

You are not defined by just your age, so don’t use it
as an excuse for not doing what you really want to do.

 You are not defined by just your gender.
It’s an important distinction whether you are male or female,
but in many aspects of life,

I am not defined by the life I lead
I live like a puppet, dancing to the tunes
Of my family, my society and even that of my religion!

But then, when I am me, in my own company,
Faced with myself in the mirror of my bedroom,
I do...

They tell a story,
these imperfections.
Every wrinkle's
an emotion sealed
by routine feedback.

Indents and scars
were carved with care.
Mistakes were made,
but you were spared.

Calluses
show your strength
through tough times.

Each crease
defines

you.

Drawing

Her essence is that of an angel
Her beauty borders divine
Her thoughts run as deep as an ocean
Perfection innately defined

Her lips are like rose pedal gumdrops
Her smile just as soft as her skin
Her figure is full and amazing
Her eyes are where beauty begins

Her heart shares the...

Memories mark moments of time, passing like a carousel
  A bitter day in January Challenger exploded
  Hopes for the future of our space program quickly eroded
Recalling the fate of the first teacher in space, on sadness dwell

On a November day in Dallas, nineteen...
