Away Poems - Poems about Away

Have I truly moved away, or am I just becoming a shadow in time, like a ghost forgetting it was once flesh and blood, my laughter is louder now, but only in places where your echo doesn't reach, I say I'm fine, as if wielding a language of illusions and other worlds. I've closed the paths to you, yet...

The leather tethers kept loosening. I had to pull at them until they dug into your body binding you to a rocking cross. It was all for nothing you died snapping at unseen knives, arching up, bending time into frozen waves. You once said you were Irish/Scots, Appalachian. You called yourself: Applachan. Sinewy girl --- wiry poppy stems in you, and engine oil to soften tenacious roots. The fever...

From distance far she came; From California she drove; Notwithstanding the pain. About halfway here, she stopped in South Dakota, picking up a family of special friends. Together they braved the stormy weather; wind, rain, big rigs and low visibility, driving till they nearly dropped. It was to see us, they came. with a love so deep and pure. We felt so honored and respected. Oh,...

I hope the echoes of our laughter still linger in your halls, and dust from our shoes still clings to your floors. I hope your tables still cradle the dreams we wove with ink — amid silent sighs and tired eyes, our thoughts drifting far and away. I hope you still sing our song, tuned with secrets we once shared, with notes born from inside...

If he turned away from you, What a sudden goodbye can do for a dedicated woman who put her trust in a guy with no insight. What really made you fall for him? Was it his charming smile or blind sight that shines light, then turns grim? He seems close, but he's a mile distant. If he turned away from...

Silence, like a glass thrown up in the air Then exploding, its shards like a nagging echo Raining on a heart, and it's so unfair To bleed for love that is not there... Is there, Through this weary way of silence, I must go. I would turn around then I would not turn around, Your smile and glances...

The old photographs, edges curled like dried autumn leaves, offer only glimpses. A younger laugh, unheard now, a sun long set on that specific day. I try to piece it together, the scent of the salt air then, the weight of a hand in mine. But the details slip, like sand through open fingers. There are moments, sharp and sudden, a song on the radio, a...

From whence it came and for what purpose, completely mystifies. Could be from earth's galaxy with The One God to look toward or another universe, though those with degrees say such is jive. Perhaps, said denial is one omnipotent wisdom has long adored. Here it did appear, causing humans to endlessly, painfully agonize, as it senselessly, cruelly, ever stains us...

I treasure the moments when my eyes catch an animal hopping through a field of flowers or even just a plain field. In my headspace, I metaphorically become both the field and the rabbit. Jumping through a field of flowers feels like an intrusive jubilation a sudden burst of hope, a quiet sign that all will be well. But a plain field speaks differently. It feels...

Let my wings soar where the Heaven’s guide Show me exploration into new horizons New Frontier of a new beginning Let the clouds cleanse within the mist Destiny mounts Born to fly Into the friendly skies Understanding wholly and wise Through the storms I shall encounter There is wonder as I am soaring yonder Among the high mountains The valley’s below The Earth’s landscapes flow Harmony among Beauty seen Yonder...

You Through Away Colorful Flowers What happened to us? So much time Shared Maybe a change of heart Two lovers going in different directions Another road divided Did I say something Wrong? I’m the same person Vague lights to remember You through away colorful flowers Did you kick me to the curb? Is there another?...

Religion and politics stay away I want to stay positive and play Religion and politics make me feel blue I’ll be me, and you be you No judgements between us if you please Do not care if you are Democrat or Republican I am independent, but won’t mention this with ease For division takes away from all kinds of friends and fun...

A small, abandoned village, once embedded within woodland. An old graveyard buried under vine and brush. The lost only 30 steps from a busy highway, yet a thousand yards from any recent memories. Only the dead recall this secret history, and they see still the hustle and bustle of life in a growing community one so swiftly surprised by dead ends, unseen internments yet to be covered over. ...

The Falling Away An angel that rebelled. Had it all but failed. Envy of the most high. The king of all lies. Rules over a lawless society. Don’t follow his ways. Cancer bleeding in the world. It lives in the dark. The Falling Away is here. Watching from everywhere. Want no part of it. Hold...

Blank stares and wide open spaces wrinkled lines on work-worn faces Sleep deprived on overload wide awake in bed alone. A thousand miles between us still The worries and stress are real The pavement clanks on old, worn tires burning diesel in the midnight hours. Months feel like years in a flash, Home for a few days, that doesn't even last. The life of a...
