Double Poetry Board

This blog is where most of my poetry and other writing ideas can be found. This board will also hold the writings and postings of my friend Ali. She writes as well and I feel she needs to get her writing exposed to the world.

Hey what's up? I'm Justin, 21 and a senior at Seton Hall University. Majoring in Public Relations and minoring in Advertising. Hopefully getting into the Ad World when I graduate. I used to write poetry religiously, and now I write every so often. I'm constantly busy with school. I'm a soccer player, snowboarder, and used to be a track runner. This blog is the surplus of ideas that collect in my brain. I find inspiration from experiences, my family, and my friends. They all deserve all the recognition in the world. Where would I be without them?

A little more love to go around

Love is indescribable. There is no synonym that describes love perfectly. It is a great and an overwhelming feeling. Often times, people make mistakes in the name of love. Others, not so much. Some accept love from every source within reach. While others, reject it. In short, they run.

Poetry about love is the authors way of getting the reader to feel the love within and help them understand how amazing this feeling really can be. Open your hearts, don't think, just feel the words surround you...

just listen.


Lower your fire and watch those walls crumble


It’s how he perceives her
That scares her so.
It’s how he sees light through her darkness
That frightens her soul.

Cautious and wise,
She’s not expecting much at all.
Regardless of past heartbreak,
He’s breaking down her walls.

Slowly but surely,
As fingers become laced.
A long forgotten smile
Spreads across her face.

He knows what he’s doing,
She’s lowering her shields.
Anti-cupid has seized fire,
Maybe love is near.

She trying hard to trust this,
Her hands though, are shaking.
He’s staring into her eyes.
She’s his for the taking.

This is probably one of my favorite poems by you Ali. They just keep on getting better as you learn how to control your wording. I noticed when I first saw your writings they were a bit all over the place and splattered. Now you're really giving tight smooth and controlled strokes of thought. You're really getting good.
