Best Agonizes Poems


If Old Men Fought
An old man looking out his door,
gaze fixed on a distant shore,
reminiscing to a time, not of happiness,
or, the prospect of a bright future,
to when he was sick to his very core,
to when as a youth, he went to war

A time before infallibility had meaning,
patriotism...

Premium Member A Valentine Poem
He gave her a bunch of roses
deep red and highly scented
sweetly he romanticizes

With loving heart, her, he teases
with his love before her casted
he gave her a bunch of roses

Some may think he needs new lenses
for with comeliness not gifted
sweetly he romanticizes

With all her sweetness she...

Premium Member Some Dreams Never Last
Softly the breeze flows through scented meadows
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers

A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently
over his lateness she agonizes
at last his footsteps coming hurriedly

he catches her...

Premium Member Open the Floodgates
Combatting attacks of spiritual dearth
My soul agonizes midst prayer plight
Yearning to be powered with divine might
As God opens floodgates of triumph mirth.

In overcoming supply-lack crises
My heart yearns for ready replenishment
And floodgates’ opening entitlement
Believing that the Lord timely blesses.

Struggling against discontentment sorrow
My carnal mind now demands...

Abandonment
A lean figure, bearing love 
Burdened by a need for belonging
Starved by abandonment and disregard
With eyes of plea that look upon man
Rejection's curse; an unmet gaze.

The cold, the toll
An attempt to live diminished by ignorance
Loyalty pledged, discarded by the heartless
A tale of sorrow; a tail...

When Words Mean Nothing
How to abate the loathing
When words mean nothing?

There are moments
In human existence

When
Any resistance
against baleful fate
is futile.

When
One is left
with his thoughts
Forsaken 
by all gods

Astonished immensely
by the world vile
which first
gave him birth
and now
devours him
with mirth

Agonizes he
in every spot
on the Earth

Where does his heart belong to
Never will he...

The Uncried Tear
Silence should have known better and understood truth was nothing it should fear.
The one thing to cause this chaos was the only thing to scare the tear.
The one tear I should have cried and the one dream I did not voice.
Because the silence never replied...

No One This World , Will Take Ur Place
No one in this world , will take Ur place 	!!!



Seeing the horizon halfway drowned
As it looks all round
I wish U were around
To see the pain with which M actually crowned

Feeling the gentle breeze
Flowing through the seas
Sizzling rain drizzling away the lees
Always reminds Me of...

In Tragedy
I go unsatisfied 
I vacation in discomfort 
My heart will never be whole 
My soul will never be free 
I live in tragedy 
Every second agonizes me 
And I don’t know how to change it 
Or if I even can 
God, grant me serenity...

The Imponderable
The thinker 
stares into the space inside himself
with some ignoble wonder, 
"Who am I...and why?

"To found some mindless form of life
and blame it on my sculptor...
ah I see the timid wraith
who runs away from my presumption;
no they say it is awareness
that I would not face...

Sonnet: a Poignant Verse
It's all the way in the ignorant dark
I have my small steps put forth in my stride
As some light visible beyond blinds arc
Favoring the fear of strife, lest I hide
As many a mind have asked me to cease
For I leave them mine defiant deaf hear
To...

Roaming Lamb
a lamb roams the hillside climbing rocks up and down
to find the pastureland by his lost home, 
overcome by the nameless fear of the long 
and tiresome day’s slow moving time,
he asked the passing cloud
“can you tell me where about is the sky of my...

Premium Member Doubt-Filled Believer's Confession
The LORD is my Shepherd*; but I have goat’s charm
Thus, I shall not blame Him when I face dearth-alarm...

He protects me; yet in carnality, my body agonizes in pain
While He directs, my feet are stubborn in search for worldly gain…

He fires up my freezing soul...

The Domain of Pain
I am a traveler in the pain’s domain
In its vast and abounding circumference
Whatever I sow gives a crop of pain
The sky overcast and a gloomy ambiance

My love, my longings are all in vain
Birds of hope deserted the tree of life
My body is a prison and...

The Advocate
he fiercely champions animal rights,
   and weeps over newts, snakes stuck
      dead in black oil slicks, gruesome sights;

      at night he agonizes over the dismal fate
       ...
