Best Read Between The Lines Poems

It was the point of a meaningless moon,
That being dealt life, its absolute gloom,
Vague stars shone hope to reposed past of Earth,
Dusk hath casts a crazed eve, pure hueless girth,

Joint lives of suave views have spread neath vain space,
Twain hearts of faint aims bent at...

Indecision!

No need to read between the lines.

By Stanley Russell Harris
(the new mad author)
and (Poetry Soup Honourably Mentioned)


No need to read between the lines.
There is nothing to be found.
Right way up, sideways, or upside down.

What you read is what you get.
There is nothing hidden and yet…
You...

I always tell people, I don't worry much about what you're telling me. I'm more interested in what you're not telling me.

Call me...we'll have to get together for lunch...
( Do you think my eye rolling gave her a clue or a hunch?)

You look so good in red...
( I can't believe what I said!)

I surely remember you...
( You said you were who?)

I love seeing you every weekend...

Your thoughts are deep,
like Voltaire or Nietzsche

And you pen them
your insight, feelings, love, pain

But there is more to you
I read between the lines

Discover the thoughts and the process
look into the lines, the intricacy

Unravel the spirit and the soul
remove the veil so others can see

Let your...

No matter how I try,
I can’t forget.
An undying song it is.
When I close my eyes,
I see that awful picture.
I feel hurt.
Pain. 
I try not to think of it.
Each time I do I tend to cry.
And though I laugh,
There’s no joy in my heart.
You took the...

my heart
went slowly
tumbling
down
low
anger and rage filled my heart
I didn't exactly understand
but I didn't question why
I just cried
cried and cried until I had no cry left
I didn't bother to wipe my tears
they where too much to bear
nobody said it'd be easy...

Every written line in a poem, 
Or in any favorite song; 
There lies a deeper meaning
Of what is right or wrong.

Everyone is indeed entitled
To express his own opinion; 
It makes him more mature
In giving self-interpretation.

The term 'ends of the earth'
Teaches time element; 
'Ascending from the...

Something is happening under the sun;
Some are dying while others have fun.
Then you’d be offered when you still have enough;
Isn't it weird? Isn't it a bluff?

Reality is right there in the neighborhood.
All walks of life in the same old road.
And meet a fellow who’d ask...

The ultimate test of the times:
United in togetherness
We stand tall with heads held high
Shoulders back
Chests out
Lined up straighter than arrows
With the forward mindset
Locked and loaded on
Our target for success!
Deal with this they said:
"Right is wrong and wrong is right
Up is down, in is out
What we...

Deep down in my heart I hold you,
Every breath of you is delightful,
Didn't know that you are the one for me,
Every time I see you,
Every time I think of you,
Peace is inevitable when I am with you,
You can feel my love yet you don't see...

You’re reading through the book
But if you read between the lines
You’d know how I’d work.

Beaten, pushed and shoved to the ground, and yet still I stand,
But now I’m considering why I should conform to your twisted lies.
Bent into shape, but still not holding a place,
Falling...

And in between the lines you seek walking upon the sand
And in between the lines up upon the lands your walking
And in between lines we read those words
And in our minds our thoughts are read
In those lines words together makes sentences
Calling to the skies
Reaching up...

Why do those planes
Paint lines in the sky,
Leaving grey toxic trails,
Leaving us wondering why?
