Best Corrodes Poems
The Wall, The Wall
I
the world fades from my fingertips
like blood oozing from an open wound
the sky is ripped apart and full of thunder
and my eyes are twisted in pain
shut the door and lock me within
the light is buzzing and flickering
something is about to explode
or maybe thats just my soul
softly touch the wall and it corrodes
the white paint peels and turns black
and cracks appear on the surface
a garbage touch that ruins it all
for years the signs of ruin were there
building up behind fragile white walls
and now i sit here with an open chest
my heart nailed to the damned wall
and as the world fades from my fingertips
like blood from an open wound
the sky outside is bloody and tormented
and i cant begin to see my own reality
II
im so afraid that if i get up ill fall again
damned by the ghosts of the past
the flashing glare of reality looms larger
closing in on me and slapping me
if only someone could open the door
and let me out of this foreboding room
perhaps i could see more than whats inside
instead of slicing myself in half
remember it was your verse that ended me
slicing off my fingers one by one
it was when my heart was nailed to the wall
that i truly forgot how to feel
my sickening screams echo loudly
throughout the confines of my own mind
reverberating down my spine
and leaving me in a shivering fit
as the world fades from my fingertips
like blood pouring from an open wound
the sky outside has faded to a deep black
and i cant begin to see my own reality
DECAYING.
ROTTING.
MY HEART CORRODES IN DUST
OUR LOVE ONCE BRIGHT AND SHINY.
NOW HAS TURNED TO RUST.
YOU USED TO TREAT ME DELICIATE.
I WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
SO CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE ME.
I MEANT SO MUCH TO YOU.
BUT NOW IT SEEMS YOU'VE TIRED OF ME.
BORED WITH YOUR WORN, USED TOY.
FOUND SOMETHING NEW TO PLAY WITH.
I NO LONGER BRING YOU JOY.
SO NOW I LAY ABANDONED.
LIKE AN OLD BIKE IN THE RAIN.
TOSSED CARELESSLY AGAINST A CRIPPLED FENCE.
NEVER USED AGAIN.
I TRULY WISH YOU UNDERSTOOD
THE TOLL YOU TOOK ON ME.
ALL WEATHERED AND PATINAED.
WHILE YOU'RE HAPPY BEING FREE.
YOU SEE MY MIND JUST CANNOT COMPHREND .
HOW YOU LEFT ME HERE TO ROT
LIKE A OLD BEAT UP WATERING CAN
A DENTED CAR LEFT IN A LOT.
I WANT SO BADLY TO BELIEVE
I'LL BE STRONG ENOUGH ONE DAY.
TO SCRAPE THE RUST UP OFF MY HEART
SAND IT ALL AWAY.
UNTIL THEN I'LL JUST LIE HERE STILL.
CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY.
THAT I WON'T DISENEGRATE AND CRUMBLE
BECOME ASHES, BLOW AWAY.
Loneliness, a venom that corrodes
Veins with despair and emptiness
Feeling alone in a crowd
Dejection is the mood
Life seems to forget
Your existence
Dwelling in
Somber
Clouds

Sin is so very an attractiveness thing
our flesh bows to its allurements
believing its suttle words so suggestive
its power holds us in its amusements
The Bible declares sin so dangerous
it corrupts and corrodes the heart
makes it deceitful and desperately sick
totally blinding us in no small part
This evil all came in at the garden in Eden
Eve rebelling from all that was good
persuading herself the tree was fine food
then convinced Adam both misunderstood
Sin dresses attractively in our fallen state
luring us to think that all is going be right
deluding each of us to our own folly
no wonder God says stand true to fight
Paul warns us speaking to the Ephesians
be strong and armed against devil's cunning
for our enemy, the devil uses sin to blind us
look to the Lord to send Satan running
Living in a sleepy slumber..
As life passes by..
As one day is another..
eyes shut..
A daily grind of deceitfulness..
Masterminds of manipulation corrodes the air
A sleepwalking corroded mind asleep at the wheel..
The wheel of life is spinning ..
Trapped in yesterday..
A sleeping mind stagnant
As web of lies had spun deliberately..
Matrix of falsehoods had risen..
Awakened by a sleepy slumber..
Where every day is precious ..
Truth is not just spoken..
Truth is shown..
Eyes wide open..
Feeling over the moon with blessings.
A daily grind of gratitude..
Where vibrant colors of the rainbow captivate ones spirit..
With an open heart..
A beautiful mind awakened to the truth..
The wheel of life radiates love..
As the truth shall always set us free..
Blinded by the Light
What love's blind eyes see ever more
bereft of heart and soul?
The fervent truth the eyes disguise
like shallow water's shoals.
The righteous eye knows not the fool
whose light betrays it's beams.
There's none so blind who will not see
the lighthouse of one's dreams.
The salty air corrodes the heart.
The taverns steal the soul.
Decadent ports of tawdry sorts
forever take their toll.
Sail on, sail on, back out to sea,
lest romance run aground.
The bright light shames the shallow heart.
The fool doth double down.
The captain cursed the billowed sails
as waves began to breach,
for in the distance sees the light,
forever out of reach.
Regret and pain fill heart and soul.
The helm could feel the grip.
What light with fresh epiphany
goes down with once proud ship.
The skies did tell of coming swells
as tides seduced the shore.
Once righteous dreams of treasured love
now dumped on ocean's floor.
No seas to sail, nor sights to see,
no harbor left to dock.
Those foolish eyes horizons seek
face undefeated clock.
When inner beauty shines it's light
see past the shapely sails.
Look not ahead toward morrow's bed
as surface beauty pales.
The Animal In The Cage
Locked in a cage
Steel bars of my own making
The floor lined with the bodies of those who came before
Alongside the bones of those who conspired to harm me
My fingers claw in desperation
Ripping the flesh from the ends
Exposing claws lost eons ago through evolution
My teeth tear into the metal filing my mouth with orange powder
Powder that corrodes my throat making it impossible to talk
Impossible to scream or plead for my life
Alas, the more I try to escape the smaller the cage becomes
Compressing my hopes and dreams
Shrinking any spirit or soul I may have left.
Why would be owner of the cage treat me so?
Men, women and children walk by my cage
Pointing and laughing at the animal trying to escape
They must know the pain I am in
Maybe they can see past the hatred I feel
Maybe they can see the torture it in my eyes
All they have to do is look
Maybe if just one person looked and saw the real me
One bar would fade and I would be released
Maybe I could be human again
If only just one person took the time
The time to see that the animal before them was a man
If just…
Fruits noirs
Sans qu’on y prenne garde,
Le ciel se tisse du grillage
Sombre des branches.
Elles s’étendent chaque année,
Et chaque année,
Grignotent un peu plus d’espace,
Au point de parfaire une voûte
Et d’arriver à se rejoindre,
En confisquant le peu de lumière,
Stagnante, sous les dernières
Feuilles de novembre,
La sève lentement rétractée.
Une pluie insistante, et froide,
Corrode la symphonie des ocres
En une bouillie sombre et gluante…
Les buissons moroses abritent
Aussi des fruits noirs,
A la densité lourde.
Ils pèsent de leur deuil,
Leur poids d’approche hivernale,
Et font oublier les envolées légères,
Des passereaux insouciants,
Qui se poursuivaient
Dans l’azur cristallin.
Ce sont des corbeaux ;
Et leur noir luisant,
Semble une menace anthracite,
Barrant quelque part,
De branche et branche
La lumière et la joie .
-
Without being beware,
The sky is woven with wire mesh
Of dark branches.
They extend every year
And every year
Eat away a little more space,
To the point of making a perfect arch
And arriving to join
Confiscating the little light
Stagnant under the last
Leaves of November
Sap slowly retracted.
An insistent rain and cold
Corrodes the symphony of ochres
In a dark and slimy mush ...
The gloomy bushes shelter
Also black fruits,
A with heavy density.
They weigh their mourning
The weight of winter approach
And make you forget the light flights,
Of careless sparrows,
Chasing each other
In the blue skies
They are crows;
And shiny black
Seems a anthracite threat
Barring somewhere
From branch to branch
Light and spirit of joy.
Hurt hidden corrodes
Ruptures lives
Alters futures
Cancer it breaks cancer it takes
It erodes and corrodes body and soul
Lingers and takes hold cant be stopped or controlled
Terminal is with an apparent ending
Loss of hope and no point in pretending
Life span is against natures clock
Head now on the proverbial block
Spreads with ease the cardinal disease
Painful fulfilment never set to ease
Deterioration quickens as the body weakens
The illness striving towards winning Beacons
Inhabiting this life just day to day living
Illness taking everything with it unforgiving
Maintain dignity the only plea of life left
Cancers taken everything will be till death
Being the shadow of ones former self
A serious turn for the worst inevitable ill health
Oh its just sods law to over through a bad habit
Of smoking only to contract lung cancer damn it
Undetected unnoticed overseen by mere testing
Cancer accumulating cells rapidly and festering
Agonising pain fills ones veins no relief no escape
The moment of death ones lonely never-ending wait
In the last moments the death rattle echo's consumes last breath
The only hope remaining is there's life after death.
I never overcame your departure brothers
since then
my feet walk crippled
the kidney only filters half of the residues
my heart partially collapsed
and beats insufficiently
the gastric juice became acid
and corrodes the sweetness of dreams
the bronchial airways are carbonized
and emit a roaring echo
the neurons lost
innumerable synapses
when dying necrotic
but here I am with my soul
regenerating light
so that the guide with the candle
calms my rumble of jungle
STREETS GOT THE whole WEEK
watching on low key
still water runs deep
just like homies
CAME A LONG WAY
u know traffic in la
MONEY and FAME
PAINE DONT GO AWAY
PAY ME AND ILL BE ON MY WAY
FACE MY BILLs UP
her FACE IN THE PILLOW
Forget THE ********
banging OUTside THE WINDOW
GOT THE INTRO LOOKING LIKE CORRIDORS
I WANT A BIG HOUSE CARS WITH A CHOFER
A CONTROLLER BUT NOT UP INSIDE OF MY SKIN
corrodes your soul not talking bout window tint
LOOK IN THE EYE WHEN YOU SHADE THE SoN OUT
CLOSED EYES WHEN the GUN BLOWs
DEATH WISH BOUND TO FOLLOW
BLESSED TO JUST SEE TOMORROW
HELLS KITCEN COOKING UP THE PRODUCT
FOREAL THO ITS GOING UP IN SMOKE
FOREAL THO I DID TRY N SELL MY SOUL
GOT THE HOTS for me GOT THE POTS FOR ME
f YOUR PHILOSOPHY
WHAT A CATASTROPHE
WANt COME AFTER ME
LAST MAN STANDING COMING FROM THE BOTTOM
LAST LAUGH TALKING ABOUT WHO GOT EM
CLOWINinG ON THESE JOKERS
WHO BROUGHT them
ALL THE LIES I ef n BOUGH
ALL THE NAMES I ef n CROSSED
I CROSS MY BODY PRAYING OUT TO JESUS
THE SHEEP OR SHEPERD TEMPTATION THAT LED US
THE VENGES HOPING FENCES Through THE TRENCHES
ADRENALIN RUSH WITH MESSAGE
DIDNT LEARN OUR LESSSON
CHECK EM WHOs NEXT
FRIENEMIES THEY WANT TO BE FRIEDEMIEs
Little by little
the sand slips between my toes
Little by little
my heart turns to stone
Little by little
stone corrodes to sand
falling between my toes
My babies loved the cats,
through the ages of the naps,
in the pages,
in the clasp,
on the floor,
atop a mat,
I pull it out and flip a bat-
let a lover free the band,
so I may rebuttal and unleash some wrath...
Because just one tap on the blacks,
leads a lover to the back,
just like one Cambridge man of the past-
holds a drink,
and chats your gas-
shoots your lore back at the boss-
holds your cross with MS DOS,
dances slow,
without a flirt,
dances slow,
and acts the jerk,
wounds the birds,
with sailing lurch,
corrodes the curbs,
with wheeling verse,
feeling verve-
eats the skirts,
while doing peddles,
and bronzing metals,
mutating meadows,
while racing against yellows,
seasons those fellows pollinating in the bellows-
of an R1 while you're having so much fun...
Being a beast while you're facing the gun,
in the rip of time between going home and burning the buns,
focusing on the fever that got you your lump some.
SELFISHNESS CORRODES LOVE
Selfishness corrodes love
Than any other does.
Since love is a responsibility
And not only
A whim in one’s heart.
In love, give!
Love long for
A favorable environment.
If you won’t nourish it better,
Slowly
It find its way out
Without any of you two
Come to know.
Simple like a bee
Seeking a new hive
For the whole swarm.
Once love gets a new home,
It cuts off abruptly
Like an electric current.
This is the worst attribute of it.
It never say bye,
But it has gone
Leaving you two
Failing to understand each other
Completely.
Once love gets a new home
The old couple
Play comedy.
They become good actors
Displaying falsehood
Of their inner heart.
A smile becomes a mock,
A kiss becomes a spit,
But eyes are benevolent:
They start
Evading one’s eyes.
If you happen to see
The last sign,
Love has corroded
Love is giving:
And competing in giving.
Struggle to give more
Than you receive from partner.
Struggle to thwart a partner
And dwarf her far behind.
Struggle to be a head of him
By giving him madly.
Give anything in your mind:
Give your enough time,
Give your good stories,
Give your real touches ,
Give your advice
Give your body.
Compete to be superb
When it comes to giving.
Remember,
Selfishness corrodes love!
