Bypath Poems | Examples


Premium Member A Soaring Bird

He swam his pure mode onto the freeway,
At the crash of midnight, under a dull ray,
It's as if it's a rolling trip of a sound move,
He chased a vast owl overhead and flew away.
 
The monster sinks into the usual groove,
Also, to ask him for the land sternly proves,
Consequently, the vehicle started to shake,
His anguish freed the load from reprove.

A bird in the sky, tickling for air's sake,
His eyes boldly rushed toward the lake,
It takes a solid step on a sharp path,
A twig from a maple tree no leaf shake.

Explore the world from a tree's bypath,
Connect the fiery red and orange lath,
It sinks evenly into the dreadful abyss,
Bird quill pens are plagued by raw wrath. 

The bird looks at the sprinting diss,
Instead of roving, the beast is remiss,
The auld damp air drove the birds away,
Birds look for limbs that rest on bliss.

Bypath of Thoughts

beneath a lambent glow
where shadows fall
in the echoes of silence
we dance on walls
in the abyss
of my loneliness

you hook my thoughts
on common grounds
standing on every corner
on the edges of memories

i've already paid the price
as you cast your demons
yet you act like fifty bucks
could still own my soul

in the byways of my mind
you lurk on every curve
tucked in desolate streets
between life and death
where i long to survive
and find my way out
of this torturous hold

you exist where only darkness lives
no street lights, to light the path
yet you linger when the fog lifts
in the cloud of smoke filled barrels

you exist in the clicks
of triggers pulled back
as you kiss my flush lips
with the press of steel

you exist in the blades
with edges pressed
tight against my chest
as you cut my heart out

yet i exist
in this frightened mind
worried that every turn
will eventually lead you out
into the mainstream of mind
where this lash of pain
will be the surrender of my life
as i finally succumb to death
by your hands

Endless choices you make daily
Deciding between many paths 
Choosing the one that is satisfactorily
Leading to a bypath
Making to decide more carefully

Learning your art, while living your life here in this world.
You are taught in the light of time.
Your lessons are from books.
You are better than they are, they are wearing a disguise.
Studied in the dark of night, studied under your bedroom light.
With blurry vision, you continue to hold on.
Because you will master your art,
life has planted its' seed in your heart.

Look what you have found in the light.
Everything is uncovered and visible to your sight.
Getting ready to travel through time, 
You will meet new people,  they will make you grieve.
Blindly you will leave.

Let this experience give you insight.
In your small hands,  you will hold their emotions and life.
You did not do this, you are not to blame.
Learning the paradox of life.
To evince the understanding of entity,
     is your life.

Travelling on the bypath of earth.
Studied in the dark of light.
Understanding your insight.

Bypath

First, I saw the star of David rising out of the East.
No one will believe me , not even my children to say the least.
They know there is a Geni, but don't know how to know Him or fear Him like no 
other.

The star of Bethlehem made clear a way.
Just like John the Baptist did when Christ was on his way.

There is an other light that is here,
Nobody even knows, nobody even cares.

These two lights to me,  remind me of a story I once read.
Sodom and Gomora everyone there is dead.
Fire struck those corrupted cities.
The Geni burned them to the ground.

One star, two star, three star.
I think only two.

You built your alters on calvary and even on his tomb.
Dedicating it for love.

All the earth, you know your love is fornication.
Really sickening and dismay.
You call your alters, Venus, Jupiter and Juno.
Wasn't anything sacred here at all.
Nothing is sacred here anymore.

These two lights represent Babylon, the sinful place,
Just like before.

It has happened, and I think it is going to happen again.
If sin is what you want, I think it is what your going to get.

Sin Ends.
