Best Defy Poems

I thought I couldn't make it, I thought, there's no-need in trying to fake it. I thought I
couldn't make it, couldn't even if I tried. One thing I had going for me was the strength
of prayer, the desire too try and shake it. The enemy...

Defy the dreadnaught darkness
that repels Gods' given light.
Beware the banshee blackness
dour damnation shrieks delight.
Leather wings and padded paws
phantom forms of ferine fright,
searing eyes and hunters' maws
drive intrepid hearts to flight.

From the boiling brimstone bile,
condemned corpses rise as one.
Pockmarked faces nod and smile
for the noxious night...

THE SHAME OF SHORTNESS

It was such a small while
But it made me smile
A brief encounter with peace
Someone whose love I truly believed just might never cease
Serendipity and joy would birth it
And yet brevity was worth it
If only for a supremely short time
She took me to...

I hear your doubt, I feel your scorn
But I will rise up, and defy the norm
I will not be held back, I will not be denied
I will break through, and reach the other side

No matter the odds, no matter the cost
I will not be stopped,...

I refuse to take that corporate needle
in my arm
They can never change me
so I run
I'm being chased and hunted down
hide with me
We will be the ones who live
we shall live on....

I defy the clown that is chasing everyone around
I defy the clown that is closing everything down
I defy the clown and became the biggest talk of the miserable town
Hoary women gathered around looking at me as if I am crazy
They asked me where I am...

Let’s fly.....becoming each other’s wings,

Lets’ try.....riding together in swings,

Life is too petite for searching a diamond,

Lets love.....turning summers into springs.

 

Lets jump…every hurdle together,

Lets clump…all happiness as feather,

Togetherness is a sign of bliss,

Lets search……true smiles for everyone to gather.

 

Let’s cry…….out of crazy happiness

Let’s fry……..out...

Perfection and honor,
 concealed in the words

Shame and disloyalty,
 rejected unheard

Deep in a poem,
 truth’s finality hides

Inhumanity cursed,
 —its verses defy

We are born in the same way,
Then why this disparity?
Race, sex, caste - stop such melee,
Spread love, peace and charity,

I have red blood, so do you,
Then aren't we equal, brother?
Give respect where it is due,
Let us honour each other,

I'm human with the same needs
like you,...

To live means to be alive, to defy unfulfilled moralizers,
Digital prophets marked by the compulsion to preach,
The trendy ideologies of the day, without hesitation, without end,
To be alive is to touch destiny with the hands of fate and become worthy
Of the breath that vanishes in...

Every time I close my eyes
A new frontier is waiting
I gave my word to the sky
Just my way of defying destiny
Defying destiny
Destiny defied
Defying destiny
Destiny defied
Virtue hangs from a cross
Still out of reach from the hands of decadence
I tear through the desolation
Just my way of defying...

Beyond comparison,
they rise when we fall

Uniquely divergent,
to impale and enthrall

No reference or genre,
descriptions confound

 Bowie and Jagger

At a time like this
 When all hope seems lost
 Listen and ponder
 God is still saying something 

 At a time like this
 When your prayers defy answers
 Pray the more
 Your breakthrough is close 

 At a time like this 
 When you...
