Poetry is at a standstill, but our sheer will keeps living words from going silent. Big voices piercing small pages, like ink drawn by index fingers. Sirens— Dry replies implying our rise is dead will never quiet me/us…
Breathless, we press chest to chest and begin our ascent. The embrace guides us…

I am his, he is mine I am the glass he pours into, I am his vintage wine Before I tell you, I must mention I am his universal Queen, his divine mission When his heart feels sad, his presence is off-centered, a gravitational loss…
Candlelight dwindled in the warmth of their tone. The mood succumbed as silence could no longer cradle a moan…
We hold church on concrete, palms pressed to chipped brick, the pastor is a man in a Timberland suit and a hoodie preaching from the light of a streetlamp that flickers like it’s arguing with the city. Children count stars between high-rises…
If you can't CONTEMPLATE, then JUST EVACUATE, if it gets OUT OF LINE…
That magnetic scent of seduction that lures that person’s pheromones to partake In the feast of its ebbing passion The sweetest dizzy feeling, that giddiness as if we have a secret The boundaries of the heart are limitless Our conjoined minds in the…

Get to that level in life where when you do something for somebody, you do it from the heart and with no expectations Get to that level in life that when you forgive, you don't remind Get to that level in life where you seek God first where for all…
Chants echoed against the hulls of ancestral shipwrecks. Severed petals ascended from the salt-soaked sea bed…
My dad was wise, and always told me, ABOUT LIFE IN HIS OWN WAY!! He lived a full life and he knows, and THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD SAY: Life wouldn't be easy, You will run into a lot trials, Things wouldn't be Breezy, My dear and Loving Child, MY DAD, HE…
I am the darkness that calls out to the night Blending within the calm effervescence of the moon's specter My staff upholding my weary footsteps as I have migrated over the hills Wading in the frigid depths of purification to get to the other side of…
Our souls were bound before the dawn of sin Across the rivers of time The memory of your touch still lingers within Though fate may scatter celestial spirits upon distant skies…
November is often called the month of giving, gratitude, and reflection. As the year begins to draw to a close, many of us take time to think about what matters most, not only in our own lives, but also in the lives of others. Recently, my…

381,000A nephew and his uncle built a home for the thing they love. We want your richest, deepest expression of who you are and how you see the world.
Change the world. Join the vibe.
Poetry Vibe was born from something that can easily be explained but not easily understood. With any great creation, there is a sacrifice that needs to be paid and it will be paid by the visitors to the vibe. We want your hearts to flat line.
We want your richest deepest expression of who you are and how you see the world because we are hoping for one truly special thing to happen. We are hoping that your words will be read and in some way move someone to action, to feeling, to purpose, or better yet, move you to find your action, your feeling, or your purpose.
This site is about a nephew and his uncle who thought it was a great idea to create a site about the thing we love. We use it to tell stories, to help us understand how other people tell their stories, to connect and inspire and at the end of the day, it does something very special. It brings us peace. We can say that we never held on to the words. We let them out in the universe for the universe to answer our calls. And no matter what answer we receive, we still have our faith that we did the right thing.
We want the same faith from you. We want you to understand that your words have feelings, that you being part of another poets words has meaning. That we are all here because we are a part of something. The better word to use for it is a "movement." The poets will always stand tall because they understand that alone they can defeat one, two, or three men but with the right words, they can change the world.
So we have only one small request of you. Change the world! Join the vibe!
