As in lyrics he started to drown

Token love tendered with a cheap card
Bartered lyric from a trite bard

Brokered, pretentious smarm

When you see someone for the first time
And if you are attracted or feel sex
It is like melody.
As you get to know that person
That is lyrics.
The combination of the two
makes it magic.

To the holy city of Bethlehem

Poulter's measure-LYRICALLY CONCORDANT

Putting thoughts on paper, connoting their portent;
contesting guilt by being lyrically concordant
with symphonic tones of poetical elegance,
expressing a mere necessity rather than extravagance.

broken string

a pantomime of love
a song that doesn't play
a memory marked in time
a song from yesterday

guitar with a broken string
a chord you couldn't get
no lyrics anyway to
this song that I forget


Short lyric poem by Leonard Kleeman | Go to this short poem

READING A POEM


READING A POEM

Reading a poem is like
singing a song.
The only difference is 
the melody's  gone.
The lyrics are there and 
the rhythm is smart.
But the melody, not heard,
is played in your heart.


Short lyric poem by kristopher kern | Go to this short poem

Clouded by choice

What's goin on with this
an organized mess
tragic while impulsive
living the stress
robotic,when the auto-pilot's on
cutting oneself off from experience...
no lyrics
in your self-destructive song


Short lyric poem by David Siegel | Go to this short poem

Incomprehensible

Incomprehensible! (A Brief Critique)

Monomaniacally, Thomas Sterns Elliot
wrote in The Waste Land a Lyrical Lay

Sadly for those of us hollow like other men
Incomprehensible! Take it away!


Short lyric poem by Michael Smith | Go to this short poem

The Morning Song

Among the morning dark
I hear her song like meadow lark
Wake by ring in whispers sung
Within my head, pass hours tune
At dusk, her touch, her warmth, her hug
As lips asunder lyrics song “Husband, I love you”


Short lyric poem by J B | Go to this short poem

not for me

For that one shining moment
I thought you were mine
A fragile house of cards
Constructed in my heart

I misread the lyrics
The song was not for me
I know it never was
Should have read more carefully


Short lyric poem by J B | Go to this short poem

call me up

call me up please baby
you're the voice 
I want to hear
mellifluous lyrics
bringing my dreams near
wish me a sweet goodnight
tuck me in through the phone
call me up please baby
I hate to sleep alone


Short lyric poem by verlecia fields | Go to this short poem

"Lyrical Lyrics in Valentine"

Making lyrical dreams
that beat the sound of love
flowing with each whispered beat
the soul is in movement
the physical heart is in timing
moving the soul
and seducing
the necked Mind

Short lyric poem by Brian Strand | Go to this short poem

CONSEQUENCES

A sword that never left his house
A child who died young-
Fratricide,incestuous rape
Treason by a son-
Wives taken before his eyes
His kingdon rent in two-
Lasting lyrics of life
In Psalms,odes and song.
