Beatless Poems | Examples


Interesting Take

No because sometimes reassurances aren't enough, you know?
Sometimes it isn't enough to remind yourself that you are alive despite whatever atrocities you've ever faced.
Sometimes telling yourself that it'll eventually get better, just isn't enough anymore.
Because sometimes bleeding feels better on the inside and it's a safer bet to drown yourself in the ethanol and pike yourself on a wooden cross in the front yard.
Sometimes trying to think positively is the last line of defense between your breathing lungs and your beatless heart, and it's ok to bite your own arms.
Sometimes it's ok to rip chunks of flesh from your own thighs and wallow in self whatever-your-choice-of-mental-poison-is.
Sometimes dying alone is not a big deal, and then sometimes it's the only activity you could ever possibly do to keep yourself from commiting a psycho-schizophrenic fueled genocide, because one overzealous "preacherman" told you that you are unworthy of rest, that one time.
Because every once in a while you need to hang yourself with a silk rope from an overdramatic oak tree, and that's ok.
Because sometimes dramatics are good for the nervous system.

Cherry Blossom Heart

THE moon slid slowly from the light
to slumber in the crepuscular shroud

An illuminated universe lies
in the silver light’s glow

The mighty golden note slumbering
in a valley of undying silence

The distant crimson light’s whisper
Causing butterflies in its wake
The song of the moon played so sweet
as the golden sun faded behind

Now hear the bitter mocking warble
of the bitter hermit’s chant
and ghosts watch me leave you further behind

As the dirt drips down bedding your heavy box
the front of your funeral dress all shadowy lined
And droning iridescent crickets throb in time
within your beatless heart

Cry, Pink White
Cry, Pink White
Cry, Pink White

Like a needle in the pinball machine
you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
If you’re the only one to hold me in your arms
Baby please don’t make me cry

Say it with me now

Cry, Pink White
Cry, Pink White
Cry, Pink White

My Cherry Blossom Heart

Voodooed By You

You stab at my manufactured beatless heart,
and tear off my tattered burlap textile.
Puncturing the weakened breath from my tight lungs.
To you, I’m just a naked doll’s unsexed part,
while enduring revenge pain for your feigned love.
Taking mock death with a bent smile from the start. 
Your list grows longer, my devotion stays true.
Our creativeness shown like expensive art.
Sharp pins and needles make me feel worthwhile,
from the tight breath puncturing my weakened lungs. 
Us two, hand-in-hand, this world we must depart.

The Deadly Lover

Come to me, my pretty thing,
For killed I was and dead I’ve been.
The flowers strewn about my grave
I bring to you this lovely day.

Draw not back, my little lass.
Soon all your fears will leave and pass.
Your love I seek to give me life;
I’ve come to take you for my wife.

The coffin, Dear, is a lonely place,
And no one there can know my face.
The rattling bones of those I see
Are not a dead man’s company.

You turn away, you turn to go,
My beatless heart has sunken low.
My casket calls me with a sigh…
I’ll have to wait until you die.

My Coffin

close my coffin and let me be
because with blind eyes i cannot see
with a broken heart it cannot beat
with empty lungs i cannot breath
nightmares watching over me
with empty dreams of you and me
scattered pictures in my head
fills my beatless heart with dread

Lost

My eyes see no place to go_
My eyes are the window to my soul_
My heart feels empty and cold,_
My heart feels beatless and old_
My life is blowing along with the wind_
My life was over before it even begin_
My brain is the boss_
My brain has me feeling hollow and lost_

Friends That Bled

my heart that beats without a drum 
its cheating starts from your fake glum 
and thundering sounds of natures turn 
instead does pound my beatless churn 
and smell i may of dead mans waste 
and see i may of dying breeds race 
and hear the sounds of babys cry 
to motherless frowns as the earth now dies 
and again my beatless heart stops dead 
and friends i never knew now bled

Thought

My head is spinning fast,
as I am tumbling down.
Troubles are coming fast,
as I try to choke them down.
Suffocate on the distortion.
In my mind's eye, misery abides.
In my charred, beatless heart,
your words emphasize lost hope.
My fear and your faith...
undeniable friendship...
my solitaire release.

Natures Soldier

Formation of water appearing on his head

Lying lifeless the beads of cold run down to his heart

Beatless it waits for any sign of life

Like a rose, his body insists for the morning sun

His soul left him not 2 hours ago

Cut down short by a dagger in his chest

The lonely water propells into his wound

Cleansing it of remorse and guilt

Too later, he cannot feel the healing power of nature

As dawn breaks and the sun beams into his bones

Drying his darkness and relieving his dead mind 

The day has cleansed this lost being

Mother nature has kissed his body with her tears

Warmth of the sun has eliminated his evil ways

For now he is part of our world....her world

Decomposing for others to feed off

Good or bad everyone needs to pass

Soon time will get you, and when it does

Will the sun heal your wounds

Or will the water cleanse your soul

Or will it be too late......

Torture

Twisted minds subcultured kinds
sounds from in the night
it takes away the light from day
and makes thier life not right.

Angry words cut like a sword
they often disagree
once not at all now to great the wall
taking her away from he.

It brings him down this round and round
why does this have to be
he did his best more than the rest
to no avail he sees.

Past regrets can not forget
forgiveness seldom known
violent scenes and broken dreams
and hearts turned into stone.

A beatless drum each rising sun
again there is no change
an endless lope with little hope
there lifes seem prearranged.

Those answers souight to countless thoughts
their convictions forced to bend
bring a strange desire to cause a fire
so all might come to end.
