roses shared a letter in the
Poetry group 10 months, 3 weeks agoYour Eyes Sound Like
RosesA lot of guys get lost in your eyes
But I found myself in those depths that galaxies rest in
Your eyes hug stars and sprinkle glitter for their shimmer when the sun wants to shine
I didn’t know it then but when momma would sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star it was a love song
Because I’m one of the dots to your constellation and the others are the children
Our love is so good it should be a sin
God forgive me, I know I’m not supposed to look directly at you
But your daughter has your eyes, and I can’t stop staring
She helps me stay centered with you when I get full of myself
Seeing my reflection in her eyes is one of my favorite things because it’s a moment of Trinity
God eyes saying straighten up son
Your eyes whisper I love you
My eyes catch us with His hands and say I’ll hold your heart
Followed by, I love you too
Our eyes share an embrace that never let’s go in silence
But anyone who sees the way I look at you hears the softness of a love song
They covet the way my eyes hold you like I hold the hand of our child
Their eyes have never seen a sight that sounded so pure
And anyone who sees the way your eyes reply to me, listens to that unforgettable poem on repeat
Then they get lost trying to find your gaze under my sunset
So, the closest thing to feeling that poem, is to hit repeat on this memory
I can’t help but smile when I see your eyes talk about us
p.s. your eyes make the best ASMR…-
Aww, I love this! The beauty that we see in others can seem ethereal at times and it can be such a wonderful thing. The connection you have with this person sounds so deep and meaningful. I am glad you have found a person like this.
-
Haven’t found that person yet, I just like to write about moments in time with the theme of relationships 🌹, thank you for reading and sharing your encouraging words ‼️

You are welcome! Don’t worry, you will find this person! When you do, your life will change for the better ♥

Oswald Perez shared a letter in the
Poetry group 10 months, 3 weeks agoWelcome, August
Oswald PerezDear, Unsealers:
The first day of August is heading into the evening hours.
Eight months into 2024?! Time’s picking up speed as the days move along.
As I tend to do at the first or so of every month, I write a poem to welcome in the new month. The dog days of summer are here…
A welcome to the month of August
31 new days in the heart of summerFor the dog days are here
Where it feels like one day morphs into the nextAlthough the calendar is blank
There’s still reason to look forwardFrom the tail end of the Olympics
To the Premier League’s return and the US Open’s first serve
With plenty of room for so much more to be doneWhen August ends
All roads will lead to a long weekend getaway
From concrete buildings in NYC, out to the Newport shores -
Timothy T. Willett shared a letter in the
Poetry group 10 months, 3 weeks agoI'm no fool...
Timothy T 🙂I walked in the house-huge it was,
seems I walked for miles.
May a church mouse-full of love,
Begetting me on trial?What are you doing here-I heard,
Why such the long face without smile?
Then at the top-I overheard,
“Child, be thankful for the whiles.”I thought, “How silly-in the kitchen here,
What a great-aged bottle of wine…
Sure would taste good-I wish I could,
Drink the sweet of this vine”!Then I thought, “I’m just a branch,
On the true Vine I hang…
No need to feel fine with fake romance,
God’s Goodness caused me to change”!How would be-if I got caught,
Cheating on my Lord?
Then came to me-in my mind brought,
A Word sharper than all 2-edged swords…It cut my thinking away from drinking,
Saying, “Look straight with thine eyes…
For if you drank, and even gave thanks-
Your foolishness would prove unwise”!Then I just looked a little farther to see-
A deceiving snake staring back at me.
He said, “Just drink, I may not bite…
But I will sting and mar your life”!So I looked again and heard with all,
My common sense telling me-not to take the fall!
So I didn’t, I quit it-And I will drink no more…
For when I get tempted-my Overcomer is the Lord!!!PRAISE HIM!!!

Write a poem about a dream (or goal) that came true 10 months, 3 weeks agoSchool of grace...
Timbonics 101As a child, I went so mild-to the Best School in the world
Southeast Elementry, Kindergarden was plenty-even grade 3 had a sweet girl.
Poor with nothing else, but was so happy-most everyone had such cool stuff.
Free to learn Mr. and Mrs. alphabet-and the menu at lunch was so much!
So I learned how to put those letters together, and write my heart so young
And never thought I’d see the day-I’d be writing from “The Unsealed” Love!
The kids then at School, I remember so cool-how they all truly was
Now yrs. gone by, they still are cool-though life makes me cry from above!
Was not fair for them, nor me, nor any-how things turned out as they did,
Though tradgety so far makes many alarmed-Adults reap the good sown as kids.
So all to find, all reap some good-at different levels, experiance normally would
Take the cons with the pros-could of been a prep, but had to be a hood.
Went so fast, I tried like crazy-to keep my grand childhood free…
But was taken soon, as a swift blast-so God gave Grace to me!!!
By grade 6 I was sick of the sticks, where my Dad moved us all out so-
Therefore I took and ran away-and ran so mad, everywhere I did go!
Drunk and high all the time-every reality I had to escape
My lost soul out of control-so long my madness, lived in the hate.
But this is not about, how I dropped out-of the Southeast Pirates School
It’s about how I wanted all along-again to be so happy and cool 🙂
More yrs. gone by, deeply stuck in pride-But bottomed desire comply,
To the time I wished I could be-the such happy kid I thought to hide.
Then from the Best School in the world, to the school of streets’ hard knocks-
I waited, and waited, and waited a lot…Until by God I was finally caught!
Then He took me to the place-And enrolled me in the School of Amazing Grace!
Now by the faith of my inner child-He took me off trial-For Jesus to pay my fair!
And I tell you all the while-come to find out, He really always did care!!! 🙂
October 18th, a life-changer indeed, He made this broken man complete-
And showed me the way to jump in the hole, and guide the others out of defeat!
Yes, I graduated and He gave to me-Eternal Life when I was dead…
Now everyday is made brand new-in the School of God’s Grace Again!!! 🙂Yes, Dear world, on His time-He made my dream come true!!! 🙂
*PRAISE HIM*

Timothy T. Willett shared a letter in the
Poetry group 10 months, 3 weeks agoMy Chrome Book...
Titus 79 🙂My nephew messed up
On his “Chrome Book”…
So it was given to me.
Now it is mine to look and see,
Only the things that are clean.
A great opportunity to prove,
That worldly lust will loose!
An opportunity to share with all
Of the One able-to stop every fall!
A possible chance to be promoted
By the One to Whom-my life is devoted!
A very great way to get in touch
Of the ones in time past-
Of whom I may not have said enough!A great time to learn and grow
Improving more on things I ought to know.
May I even be going back to school,
With this little computer-that’s pretty cool!Greatest of all, a way to overcome
The traps set up for me-I’ve fallen through some.
But I trust in the Great Grace of God…
That I’m an Overcomer-through His Word I trod!
By that same sweet Grace-
He always lets me know,
He is my heart-monitor…
Wherever I go!!!-
Congrats on the new computer. I hope you use it to make all your dreams come true and more. I can’t wait to read all the brilliant poetry you write. <3 Lauren

Thank you so much Lauren, I do so appreciate all the encouragement from you-you are such a blessing in my life!!! 🙂

Lauren, I wish I could talk to you. Not as between a man and woman, but as someone who I believe would be able to understand me and possibly be able to help-probably even with some answers. I probably won’t be able to, and that’s all right. But I believe God somehow does and He likes taking broken people like me and loves to fix them. Know for…read more

Oswald Perez shared a letter in the
Poetry group 11 months agoBienvenue aux XXXIIIe Jeux Olympiques!
OSwald PerezDear Unsealers,
Bonjour from New York City!
As I type this post, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is on my screen. After an already busy summer of sport due to UEFA’s Euro 2024 and the Copa America, the main event of the summer has finally arrived.
Seeing the athletes floating along the River Seine is making me nostalgic for the City of Lights. I can’t wait to see the competition to come and all the shots of the city in the next two weeks.
As I tend to do, I wrote a poem to welcome in this event, one that only comes once every four years. Let the games begin!
As the athletes of the world gather in Paris
To open the games of the XXXIII OlympiadHere’s to the next sixteen days
After the cauldron is dramatically litAll the stories that will be told
The drama the competitions will bring
With the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat coming full circleFrom La Tour Eiffel, crossing the globe to the waves of Tahiti
Visions of France in all it’s splendorCasting the cynicism of the world aside
For the ideals of sportsmanship that Mr. de Coubertin appealedIn the distance, the Olympic Fanfare is here
Pour dire bienvenue à Paris à tous! -
Sarel Hines shared a letter in the
Mental Health group 11 months agoSilent Pleas
S.B. HinesBehind the mask, no face to find,
A trick of mind, ‘neath sun that’s kind,
Yet rain pours down within the soul,
Where hidden truths take their toll.“Get up, get on, you’ll be alright,”
The lies they tell ease the plight.
A crown once worn, now tipped and slanted.
Society’s stigma, harsh and untrue.“Go out, be free,” they say, unaware,
That solitude’s chosen over despair.
In sorrow’s depth, alone you wallow,
While unseen, in code, for help you call.Attention sought? Not even a hand to hold,
A listening ear, as your story’s told.
Over and over, being told “You’ll be okay,”
But will they listen, or just turn away?Until the end, when all is read,
And in the paper, your name is led.
Will they see then, what they missed before,
Or just a picture, nothing more?-
This is so well-written and powerful. I am sorry you have felt both unheard and dismissed. Your feelings are valid. If you are ever feeling sad, check out our resources page, theunsealed.com/resources. There are free resources for help. Sending hugs. <3 Lauren

Poetry group 11 months, 3 weeks agoWelcome, July!
Oswald PerezDear Unsealers,
It’s the 4th of July!
A Happy Independence Day to those who are celebrating today. I hope that all of you have a safe and enjoyable holiday.This poem is three days late, my welcome to July.
I don’t know why I forgot to post this on Monday. But Lauren’s reminder of the latest writing contest ending reminded me to post the poem.I just wanted to let you know that without further adieu…
Welcome, July!
Six months have gone by, six new months are hereAmid summer’s low and slow grind
The days are ripe for possibilityA month of celebration
From the Great White North, sea to shining sea and Allons enfant de la Patrie
Champions crowned in Berlin, Miami, London and Nice
Before the athletes of the world take center stage in ParisWho knows where this month will go
Not even I know how the days will flowI’m sure of one thing, though…
As sure as the summer’s changeable skies
And the flowers blooming all aroundThe next thirty-one days will fly by

Write a letter or poem to or about a loved one who passed away and share how they inspire you 11 months, 3 weeks agoMy Legacy
Tracy BarnesPlenty of days
In plenty of ways
I never thought
I had to live without
The woman who birth me
Continuously struggling
With her absence
Trying to put the pieces back together
Rebuilding my life
Without my mom
To witness my success
And the failures
I had to overcome
Without her keen talks
To cheer me up
Makes me feel sad and blue
I yearn for her voice
Her smile
Her laugh
Her presence
That’s why I always tell people
Cherish your mom
‘Cause losing her
You can never get another
Just memories to last forever
Besides my Bae, family and close friends
Being a source of inspiration
My mom is honestly the driving force
Behind my tenacity
She taught me the importance of
Hard work and dedication
She was amazing at everything she did
She got opportunities to live her life
As she saw fit
Much of her is in me
I’m her twin
Many can tell by just looking at me
In life and in death
My mom continues to show me
I can do all that I set out to do
No matter what I’m doing
Or what I’m going through
I take a moment or two
To reflect:
What will mommy do?
What will mommy say?
All the while reminding myself
That she is 1 of the reasons
That I am who I am
I’m forever grateful
For my Granny and Grandpa
God rest their souls
‘Cause without them
There will be no Margot
So I’m forever thankful
For her legacy
Now it’s time to create mines
Mama, I will make you proud‼️Voting is closed

Great poem!! Loosing a parent can change you. “Now, it’s time to create mine”.. I love that line! As I was reading it, I was saying that now it’s time to create your own legacy, and then I saw that line. I’m so sorry for your loss

Thank you Janet 🤗 it was fitting to put that line in my poem cause that’s how I truly feel

Write a letter or poem to or about a loved one who passed away and share how they inspire you 11 months, 3 weeks agoClose to my heart
Kevya SimsI pray and make my wish very clear,
Hoping that one day you will appear.
Conjured up by pink and green fairies;
So that means we can surf through the air.
With a wave of a wand and some pixie dust,
We can go ride unicorns just like we discussed.
Of course, you said no because of your old bones.
But with closed eyes we could sail through the sky like drones.
I would take away your worries and we will have fun,
And no one can stop us because we shine like the sun.
Your presence I wish I can feel to this day,
It’s been almost three years since you’ve gone away.
I wish with everything in me I had a fairy,
I’d fly up to heaven in a magical ferry.
But I can’t be selfish and bring you back,
When you are already home and nothing you lack.
I can’t bring you back with me,
Because you are where you are meant to be.
And if you come with me,
You will never be free.
You believed in me before I did,
Even when I was just a kid.
So, you inspire me to keep going
Even when I feel lost and unknowing.
You showed me how to believe in myself,
By putting myself doubt on the shelf.
I hold you close to my heart,
Because I know your spirit will never depart.
Thank you for being the best you can be
So I can soar and show you who you raised me to be.Voting is closed

Kevya, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing someone so close to you can be extremely challenging to cope with.

Wowww, ” you can’t see them until one day…”
You can unpack so much within this line alone…it really gives the audience time to meditate on what one day looks like or what they would like it to look like, then how to get there!

Oswald Perez shared a letter in the
Poetry group 1 years agoOn The First Day Of Summer
Oswald PerezDear, Unsealers:
Today is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year.
Though the summer solstice won’t be official until 4:50 PM this afternoon, the season has already made it’s presence felt in the midst of a heatwave.
Though, there’s plenty more to the season than the heat and humidity. This is a time of year to soak up everything that the late sunsets have to offer.
As is my wont to do, I wrote a welcome to the new season coming up.
When the summer solstice dawns
The seasons change againWith it, the longest day of the year
As the sun sets past 8pmHazy days, sultry nights
A time of year where time slows downFrom mid June to mid September
The world’s come to life
From the streets, sands and seasSoaking up the warm rays of light
As one does
When earth is closest to the sunWelcome summer and your mercurial ways
For a stay over the next ninety four days -

London, your words capture the feelings we have when we lose someone close to us. When someone who inspired and moved us dies, it can feel like loneliness will overtake us. Luckily, we have the hope of being with them again one day to sustain us. Thank you for sharing your experience.

The weight of loneliness carried on your shoulders has always been the love in your heart, your angel, your guidance, you just have to listen, you were never alone (;

Write a letter or poem to your younger self sharing what you love most about him/her 1 years agoSuch a young Timothy...
My younger self 🙂Little lad, so soon originality
Were now had of remembrance to see
Like that dreadful hot summer-
Drenched in sweat then thinking
Scared to death, running to Dad…
Yelling out loud, “Hey Pop’s-I’m leaking”!
Or jumping down Superhero style-
Straight off the top of the staircase,
Knowing your cape-towel all the while-
Would land you safe on the base!
Such fun mischief you often went through,
A wonder-dare conquering fears…
The natural boy came to you so clear!
Yes that little boy with hazel eyes and smiles too!
The lines stepped over, “one and only” say they-
At such a time past-you were always this way!
No toys to bring for elementary all for-“show and tell”…
So to school in a box-you brought snakes so well!
When came your turn-they slithered out all around the room,
And all the girls surely thought-this was final doom!
They all jumped up, they screamed and they fled…
But us young boys caught them-let them go, and caught them again!
Have I not to go on of-your happy younger self,
But you were so thankful all for everyone else!
You liked all those kids that none would play with,
You felt bad and cared-so you friended all of them!
That is only character, by God instilled for good…
And because of Him-so poor, yet rich you stood.
Yes little Timothy, original you were-
And that has carried on, in sincere imagination sure…
Even unto this day!
Yea, still that little guy inside-
By your kids is forever embraced!
Love ya lad!!!

“And because of Him-so poor, yet rich you stood” My favorite line 🦋
Thank you for sharing I imagined it all in my head. Especially the part with you showing off the snakes in class and having to chase them all along side the boys.
Thank you for existing ✨-
I appreciate you so much Vanessa, I’m gonna have to look on your profile soon. When someone appreciates you for who you are-I think that is very cool! Ty for being and having a positive person and attitude!

Timothy, this is such a fun poem! I can just see you bringing snakes into the classroom for show and tell! As a teacher, I think I would have to quit after that! 🙂 I love how you embrace the quirkiness of childhood and I am sure that you still bring that excitement into the lives of those close to you. Thank you for sharing your poetry!
