A Million-Dollar Dream
One dollar buys a million dollar dream.
Lotteries excite thoughts of esteem.
One day I bought a ticket,
My angst began to fidget.
Until I screamed; then went to redeem!

The Dealer
Sell my soul by the gram
empty on the inside
surrounded by ghosts
careful of my step
I walk on eggshells
around puddles of pain
suffocated by clouds of angst
in fear of tomorrow
and the consequence
today may bring

The Beat of Life
When I awake
To the beat
Of life
Full of angst
Full of strife
When I awake
To the beat
Of life
I see
What can be
And
What isn't
When I awake
To the beat
Of life
I want more
And we can all
Get there

Fourteen
Fourteen a tender age,
Teenage angst the rage,
And parents are so stupid
Yet fourteen more years go by
And oh, my, my!
How much it seems they've learned
Our diary jokes of old,
You can truely be told,
Now we wished we'd burned.

Pretty Lies
Faberge lillies secluded in secrecy
outbound for vast gayness
Irredesent dreams of shrouded angst
perpetual delima abound from baby smiles
Frolicking in and frolicking with animosity
of imagined cherubs with soft eyes
and pretty lies

Tremble in my angst

Shimmering in your full moon

Final Moments' Thoughts
When the Reaper comes calling at your door
As you're struggling with chest pains on the floor
And the angst of helplessness strikes your core
That's when you realize you could have loved more

Grandchild of Mine
His eyes and heart fill with angst of growing old, going to pre-school
The thought of learning excites him so, he sharpens up his manners
Spills his chocolate soy milk and finger paints me a new brown house

Anxiety
Trapped in this world of guilt,
Tangled in the world of misery,
Unnoticed by the people I love,
Want to smile but killed by angst,
Fall behind just to think it through,
Build myself up day by day,
By lying to myself,
The lies I start to belive.

Graced
Finding grace, too hard to pace,
My peace is now a rarity.
Moments weaved like silk and lace,
To finish or to bear with me?
Restless nights are torture; I wonder what you really mean,
Frantic thoughts filled with angst are only calmed inside a dream.

Ruling Day
Of all the things you ever did
all that you regret is your kid
As you slap her with your hand
she wishes she had a real man
As you hit him with the switch
remember your ruling day will be over quick
Cause vengence is an angsty word
but with yo its hardly absurd

Puffing Out The Angst In Me
Solitude—
oh, I love
this word
as much
as it loves
me. I live
in it, with my
earthly shadow, where
no one dares
see me, huddling
‘tween dark and
empty space,
longing for
the stars
to wink out
the coldness
of my thought—
‘cos of you!

She Carries On
She sought him for a connection
he offered her more rejection
she asked him to call
he did tarry, and all
There was angst
there was confusion
even fantasy's illusion...
Still, she will seek~
For pure romance~
She carries on ...week by week.

Crystal
Come’s what may life’s stoned heart
reaching desired love’s sweet kiss so true
yearning passions deeply weeping toward
self-worthiness’s promised eternal light of joy
through touch times enduring courage be stilled
angst’s raging tormented spirit spilling
love’s begotten stillness

Writing out loud
Writing out loud to solitary crowd is a sombre affair
Without an audiences touch the word’s appear a crutch
A diary in testament to isolation
The quietest spoken word reverberates loudest
In the noise and angst that in the pen resides
Cornered on all sides the festering never subsides

Divinely reaps melodies sublime passions to comfort
amidst towering worldly joy and woes awakened
vivid notes naturally kind yet candid singing
inward sorrow so deeply hidden within personal
lyrical tones of forgotten imaginings caused by
desperate chains of modern slavery’s angst

When It Hurts To Laugh
In the middle of "hell" and all its ogres,
It is difficult to find a ray of hope,
or salvation to lighten the spirit,
A smile or simple laughter fights its
way to get to the surface,
While the heart festers with pain
and angst, a mere facade to the outside
world, affirming the mirage, that all is well.

A Little Book
Adults should read more children’s books.
Simple stories, not cluttered with the angst
of daily life. Learning in it’s basic form.
Stories of dogs and cats and wiggly things,
touch and feel and join in the fun.
Look at life at it’s foundations, to truly
believe and look at the world with wonder
and simplicity.

Quantum Link
Anxious angst acquires accelerated aging
Mindfully meditating master’s molecular malevolence
Dispelling disease dysfunction
Chronically contaminating critical
Thinker thoughts thunderously
Eroding energy engulfing
Harmonious human happiness
Only original opulent oneness
Graduates getting genuine genius gifts...

Life Is
Life is
a mountain of dreams,
a forest of fears,
a valley of emotions,
a maze of feelings,
a swamp of existential angst,
a volcano of hurt,
a field of happiness,
bouquets of caring,
a lake of calmness,
a tornado of chaos,
a whirlwind of relationships,
a waterfall of passion, and
an oceanfull of loving!!!

What Does God Have To Do With It?
Drunken Smutty Teenager.
Burning Suicidal Angst.
Red Breast Ripped Open
In The Cold January Heat.
When Love Is Harsh.
When Love Quakes
Within This Presence.
When It's Burs Are Only Nibbling.
When It's Eating Out Our Ancestors
And Crumbling With The Asphalt.
Breaking And Entering.
Lapping Up The Crimson
Of A Bleeding Heart.

Looking Inside
It wasn’t until
I first laid eyes
On the sullen faces
Lost on city streets
Children clothed
In filthy rags infested
Of hopelessness
I came to realize
I have never tasted
Forlorn angst
Or desperation
It was in that moment
I discovered
Deep within myself
Inside the pockets
Of my own humanity
That I always had
Coin to spare

Playing Ignorant
Raw words,
etched deep to the page,
I make my mark deeply,
dragged from my gut,
to the surface,
but you notice not
the torn page,
the blotted ink,
turning a blind eye,
to my angst.
Playing ignorant
to my pain.
Ignoring my outstretched hand.
If I were drowning,
would you reach for my hand?
Well, let me tell you now,
I'm drowning.

Beauty
This beauty so provocative
This meeting so solitary
This moment priceless
And this mindset infatuated
I awaited this reprieve
With angst and disbelief
Just me and ny driver
Of astounding splendour
Through plateaus and mountains
His power is unbounded
Stealthily I ride him
Sweetly I sing to him
My stallion of wonder
My beauty infinite

No Point
Nihilism cultivated by disappointment
One’s innate desire to find MEANING terminally frustrated
Postmodern existential angst fills the vacancy left by Hope
Overwhelmed by knowing life’s vital substance is so easily reduced to ash
Illusion of identity burns on a pyre
Nonbelief rejects the comfort of religious doctrine
Truth annihilates Spirit

Eyes Gifting
Filigree eyes so fervent
Agitated incensed thoughts
Silenced…
Lest terror and dilemma
Sacrifice you to lifeless mettle
Muddled illusory echoes
A vacant faced hollow shroud
Defined…
Rise and slake the flames
Quash the panicked ire
Reside in ardent moments
Suppressed of biting angst
Falling…
Catch the yield of filigree eyes
Crystalline tears

Afflatus
Absolute apprehension applied around angst…
Feasting from focused feminine filtration…
Mastering magnificent masculine manifestation…
Balance both bonded building brilliant Buddha body…
Enlightened electric energy evades everyone…
Harmonious humanity has hovering happiness halos…
Omnipresent oneness outlasts original
Sin, souls soaking superconscious supremacy…

Chimera
A troubadour
To create a
masterpiece
To be known
as
illustrious
Hands that
drip
with inspiration
Span the page
with noble
thoughts
that speak
of truth
of love
of angst
A wind
that flows
unceasing
Breathing
breath into
a poem
That lives
on forever
Eternal
To be
a poet
of perception
To live on
after the
cessation of
life
Through words

The Angst Of Our Age
To arrive
Here on this planet
Eager and
Avid to participate in a
Noble Grace-filled saga, our lives
Gave way to
Serious reflection on hollow
Truths that had too long prevailed ...
Of war and honor and the
Frustration of our Peace fervor brought
Outrage and confusion as the
Ultimate
Reality
Appeared: human beings are
Giving
Evolution a tragic ending.

Jordan Adorno | Go to this short poem
I Die Alone
Why couldn't I have been disposed sperm & egg?
Turn back time, eliminate me, I beg!
All this angst fills my strained brain,
Whilst tribulation severs me insane.
If not for fear, I'd suicidally assert my second amendment,
Propose & execute a freeing, well-earned sentence.
Consumed by wrenching despair colder than bone,
I'll surely be happiest when I finally die alone.

Today
i don't feel like writing a love poem
i used to think it's a writer's block
but it ain't
my people are caught up in angst
and trapped in a maze
can't just look and smile
like my president does
they say it's phobia
and there ain't nothing to worry about
but then they steal
and mock at our so called hospitality
i will never write about love
cuz am just not feeling it
today!!

Corridors Of Time
Down through the corridors of time
My gallery with varied halls
Halls of emotions that chime
Reverberating bouncing call
Youthful emotions really pine
Feelings of angst rules this time
Corridors of life _dark or shine
Hope mine shines with rhyme
Troubadours of soul in evening
Lover of life all this long time
Doors of heaven opened gifting
The sage that was hiddened within

The Itch
Cover it with a bandage
Sew it up with a stitch
No matter how much you scratch
Seems you just can't stop the itch
Face your past
To let the healing begin
Turn a blind eye
And you'll never win
Look towards the future
Plan for a better tomorrow
Don't fill your days
With hidden angst and sorrows
When all hope seems lost
Give it another try
You've got no future
When you live just to die

A pity
You’ve seen it before
Never spoke of
The hapless Individual
Helpless in principle
Mercy, out of sale
Withered broke frail
Teenage angst
Hand me down hate
Weaken by the irate
A sitting bomb
Counts and waits
One last push
To the point to agitate
And detonate
An unjust fate
Could have saved
Should have stayed
Didn’t manage a role
Hunting pack cruel
Achieved enlightenment
Silent excitement

Rebel Without A Cause
His title roles were all misunderstood
An angst ridden protagonist, dark outcast
From East of Eden to Giant one could
Not know that Giant role would be his last
...a cultural icon was soon to blast
I toast to you, the late and great James Dean
A man whose trade is one of arts cuisine
His method acting brought him much applause
As his emotions crafted every scene
He was a young Rebel Without a Cause

Never4Long
The pangs of hunger
racking your every sense
dulling you from over use
is but temporary.
The slow decay
and setting rigor mortis
freezing your last stance
is but temporary.
That burning feel
of numbing digits
from wrist to finger tips
is but temporary.
The longing feel
of emptiness
of lost love flooding your heart
is but temporary.
The suspense
of this poet's thriving angst
is but temporary.

Only The Street
The sugar-tipped touch of desire
Meets every abhorring soul at one point in time
Mine hits,
It knocks me to the curb and leaves me bloodied
With signs of fresh exposed flesh
In agony and devout angst
I rise
All I can see is hazel-
Your eyes,
The subtle fluff of your hair
Your preciously treasured grin
Remains with me
As we continue on our merry way
Only the street can feel my heartbeat beneath my feet.

Thee Three
Thee Three
Thee three of me I do in plea beseech
in firm silence I did not reach
For in angst I did dismay
still in thy hearts I wished to stay
Perceive not thee just after then
but long ago real and true when
Forfeited losses I did make
so thee to render more to take
Say-eth I in love’s desire
what I wished ye did acquire
Abandon me not as I do depart
thee three for eternity of my heart

Somewhere Between the Lines and your Soul
So tired is my soul this eve,
and my heart hangs heavy within me,
I've finally purged to the paper,
the words I've needed to
for so long,
although a release,
a strange sort of relief,
I grieve too
for meanings lost
somewhere between the lines
and your soul.
My intentions so deep,
I drowned myself beneath them.
Yet finally,
after purging my angst,
I shall rise to the surface,
and live freely once again.
