Abandon Poems

Quarantined Abandon

Allowance is issued by allegiance 
Descent
De scenting the grain
Defection from account
The man above watches 
As open journal 
His story is carved
And reared 
Nearer grown abundant

Recital of vow and order
un adhered 
Ends actions statements
A fold is created

Company is kept seperate

Premium MemberAbandon Not Your Vow

Abandon not your vow to do what is right
Built upon integrity along sincere practice 
Cling to your commitment with steadfastness
Directed toward service and reaching-out.
Exhorted for loyalty and fidelity’s tenacity
Fulfill your role well with honest heart
Guarded against hypocrisy’s destruction
Hoisted for readiness to help by God’s grace.*

*1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath

Premium MemberAbandon the wayward ego

Cravings of lower mind repulse ~
Follow only the truth impulse
            ~ quote by poet


Ego but serves our body-mind
But we’re not this form, we’re not this 
Who we are is love, light and bliss

Pursuit of lust makes us unkind
Let not feral instincts prevail 
If we

Premium MemberWe Loved with Wild Abandon: full version

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused. — Paulo Coelho


When first I'd peered into his dark brooding eyes
there was an undercurrent, fathoms deep pulling me in.
It

Premium MemberI Won't Abandon You


 “When life traverses the path of pathos the beguiled birds fly to 
show the course out of the feeling of being abandoned”
 – Quote by Poet


If in the flushing garden path you walk entranced forlorn,
the scarlet sun of the dawn’s seraphic sky embraces you,
you’ll see my heart in the lilac lines of cloud up

Premium MemberPlease Do Not Abandon

Please don't abandon this life so soon
Before blossoms spill their sweet perfume
Wait with me for morning's garden song
that gently reminds we each belong.

Watch as sun dances over each hill,
waking sleepy fields, lilac and still.
We'll run through a field of marigolds,
splash in a stream that defies control.

We are so lucky to have this chance
to share such

            in a reckless abandon, hordes of biutterflies 
float playfully about the heath on spring noon without a care;
      many lovers wish their hearts could be just as free!

Premium MemberWhy Did She Abandon

"How sad when it comes to face the world as an orphan! Chasing shadows, he/she searches for the love and protection lost. Having no trail to follow, the search goes on endless"~  By Poet 


I am a street urchin, cruelly abandoned,
and hurled into the bin like a piece of trash,
now roaming to find the

Premium MemberAbandon the Faithless flares

"The sun loved me again, when it saw that the stars would not abandon me" Jenim Dibie...

I paint on the blue-black arms of blank skies,
with pirouetting promises in midnight eyes,
no longer impatient for the dawning of hues~
manipulating the ache between ink and muse.

I breathe in silence, wrap my soul in rhyme-less forms,
to taste topaz tears

Premium MemberSummer In Wild Abandon

POTD
Tipping the light with curves arched 
and flowing with rain,
she mounts her tinseled limbs
 
on summertime's  crest--
   The trees, seeds, and flame 
in her eyes lightly open
 the fingertips of near August.

Quick to beat on belly drums, 
   her shadow trance melts 
the liquid stars  in one tender rush...

Premium MemberAbandon Shadows: Embrace Sun

“Life is a dance. All you need to do is find your rhythm.” -Sandra Cooze

Let life be a beach.
Abandon shadows; embrace sun.
Find your joyous beat.
The dance of life you must not shun.

Partners make it fun.
Dance fast or slow, but not alone.
Prance with abandon,
Even let yourself get windblown!

Take that chance and dance.
Don’t hesitate; just grab a

Silent screams of abandon

You came into my life~
just before the ink dried...
in my husband's condolences register.
You knew I was grieving, 
vulnerable, 
trying to hold my children’s lives together with threads.

You listened to my story—
the doubled rent, 
the school fees...
I wouldn’t be able to pay—
and you acted like you cared.
You said our pain was your pain, 
that you couldn’t

ABANDON ME

She left me. 
She left to abandon me in a vulnerable state.
In my weakest state.
The hurt and heart break was enough damage.
 The words that were said felt said to abandon me.
She is a monster in everything she does.
I don’t know how to feel really.
Do I feel anger, abandon, sadness, happy?
I just know I was
