Best Abdicating Poems


Premium Member Flight To Midnight
O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

persuasive Polar Star in quiet pull
a sailor’s tired eyes gone dark 
I will dream while we fly 

on wings that span horizons east to west 
I ride upon a cloud your belly...

Premium Member Abandoned
Gripped by transgressions in life of destitute
Withdrawn she lived in deviant troubled youth
Orphaned long ago by her own living parents
When in substance abuse she buried her soul
Distancing benevolence as church-bells tolled.

Abdicating love, she traded for buzz of lust
Forsaking trust to bolster deceptive purpose
Relinquishing sapience to...

I Was Dead the Day I Was Born
I was dead the day I was born

She looked straight into my eyes; as she sat right across me
 I could see fear right through her, as she mumbled with the thought of my vicious actions
Trying so hard to understand how did I become such...

The Spanish King and I
The King and I
I have seen the king of Spain abdicating 
in full uniform, but his cap was too small 
this made him look jolly except for his
cane and the small steps of an old man. 
Until recently he looked handsome and 
had many mistresses...

Secret Love Upon Father's Ear
Twain frolicked through the meadows, thou and I.
Beautiful dreams of thee brighten mine very soul.
Oh, ill-fated tragedy thou must not forever cry.
Mine future hath been locked with thee in a foxhole.
 
I pledged to thee, mine never-ending love.
Thy purity shines whiter than any star.
Forever shall...

Resurrected Heroe
RESURRECTION OF A HEROE:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
CHORUS:
Far from comparison, far from fear.
Failure part of the journey; shed no tears.
Man...do... the best you can do.
Talents in your hand's only for you. 
No body cares...what you goes through;
When you succeed, people comes to you.
But...when... it's opposite,
That's...

Emotional Fatigue Courtesy Exhaustive Vituperative Harangue
Emotional fatigue courtesy exhaustive vituperative harangue...

Lobbed and unleashed upon the heads
of (yours truly and the missus)
so called selfish "monsters."

The evening of Wednesday April 19th
witnessed us (birth parents of our first born)
weathering blistering telephonic brickbats.

She (unnamed eldest daughter)
spewed venomous bilious froth
across aforementioned medium
encompassing quite a few...

The Other Woman
My muddied, motherly eyes I turned away
When he looked at her in that lustful way
Drowning my voice as my tongue I silenced
She was my shield against his violence
I had so devalued her existence
That from me he got no resistance
When on her tight lips his kisses...

Do Good Now
If you bear the best of intensions
Then fear not the malicious oppositions
For the case of Christ and Godliness is worth contention
Pursue it heart and soul without concession
For eternity trumps lifetimes in proportion
Seek yourself here and hereafter a worthwhile portion

Endurance against times and seasons
While opting out...

Role Reversal
And he pacing about the house
Had all the time to do
The things he lost time for before
To keep the promises 
He made to himself in each ritual
Morning of his nine to five
And yet as if disenfranchised by opportunity
This switch of roles landslides his soul

He made...

Ostrichs and Wasps
On the lush meadow
Serene ostrichs rest
Towering it with vigilance
Rheas they seem from distance
Indulging in sweet silence
Counting evey single chick
Huddled under their wide wings
Abdicating as everyone learns survival
Nurturing them with keenness
Demolishing parental worries
Warning them of stinging wasps
Always looking for new victims
Surrounding them with loud buzzing
Pugnacious and...

I Begin To Think
Abdicating the shadows;
totemic.
I return back to dig up the buried-
moon from the ruins of poetry.

It benumbs.
No response was coming from
cajoling the black secrets-
of time-cast.

A storm was raging in a pack
of emptiness. Like a dead fly
between the pages of skulls.
I couldn’t find the exact words.

The religion...

Each the all and one the all, the knowing
X-ray vision spiritual discerns
Unless ego begins interfering
Burn the past oh hermit! Simply unlearn
Exiting narrowness, take a u-turn
Replenishing joy, abdicating frown
Attentive joyfulness as of a clown
Negating nothing, we follow the scent
Converting our name into a pronoun
Evaporated self exuberant

Molten Tears
savage was the bond of weakness;
we were hiding behind the pain
of decline, abdicating the singed shrine
of nameless opposition, nowhere the roots
were reaching the bottom of  truth, I ran
like river of life amongst the flames, you try to
resuserstate a dozing century by burning
poems, every wen...
