I'm like broad, beautiful poems that make you wonder about things, or poems about death and dark things, and poems about simple beauty...
I'm just looking for some good poems that will give me inspiration.

Ah, you're looking for the Romantics...
Percy Shelley, Byron, Keats, Wordsworth, and Coleridge may be some that you'd enjoy. I'd also look into Alexander Pope, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson, but Emily's an acquired taste.

Many people do not know this, but Alicia Keys has many great poems in her book Tears for Water. There are many that i like including P.O.W., it's a great poem. You should read her book.

The greatest poet is Edgar Allen Poe, the fact that he is one poet that wrote about hard ship and lose of loved ones and didnt pretend it happened. He was a man that was truley cursed. Every person he every loved died. Experienced poverty and the strive to sucseed, while all of his stories and poems are dark. The Masque of the Red Death, The Black Cat are both extremely great stories expressing true and dark themes.
