Best Desolation Poems

Homeless, I hunker down
next to a garbage bin.
And hail morphs into rats
gnawing at exposed skin.

Hunger twists my stomach;
the pain is hard to bear.
And a putrid smell clings
to the soiled rags I wear.

Acid tears flow freely;
in my cocoon of shame.
And my head is hung low;
in self-pity...

Breathe deep and you will smell the suffering and death
The smell of burning flesh it will take away your breath
It was just a normal day, but in a split second it changed
When the bomb dropped from the sky the whole world it rearranged
Now there is...

Of the terrible and the wonderful, the lull then roaring sound,
The footprints of the heathen Gods stamped upon the ground,
The breath of Satan’s lungs and how the landscaped churned,
How this desolation bade the world both deluged and burned.
With the bodies and the buildings strewn around,...

The place of desolation, like
the mirage in the desert
You see it, but never arrive

Until the day of your departure, and
the mirage has arrived for you
A comfort lost on desperation
nothing left to help me cope

I disembark from the last train, 
onto the last platform
I have no...

Ahh despair-
sweet, sweet, sweet desolation.
As the crow flies- enter onto me

Salvation from freedom;
on his wings- incarceration.

Nuveau of Elvis rhyme
Faith acquired through distress
Velveteen fraud
particle blues- such sad
and sorrowful hues.

Putrid breath come from the windy west

Endymion forsaken for his
ethereal beauty; In hidden chains
he sleeps eternally

Athena stares and...

In Desolation She Stands

She stands in her desolation
her wicked life a vile desecration 
dying victims stink of her perfume
sacrifice and pain fill up her room.

Hate and sin her sole wish
madness sits in her left hand
blackened blood covers each breast
she tortures , her victims never rest.

Scars...

Dreadful forms of crisis
depressed mind with worry.
  Dark shadows of sorrow
decayed heart with despair.
        Deceitful ways of fate 
destroyed spirit with doom.
Desolation fathomed!

How the sun hath dimmed
Where the fairest flowers sprang
Won't thou come hither...

a tear fights his way through desolation
the purple summer flower is snapped
hope expired to memorial
green fields are hermetically sealed
mud splashes fouling soft cheeks
the worst in humanity has been reached
childhood dreams buried by cruelty
salt burns painful in bleeding wounds
monsters shuffling around
nailing hard steel in bare walls
behind...

Upon the hill where I lay
surrounded by dimmed natures lonesome 
with solitary mind.
Nightly breeze awakens morose eyes
thoughts of her
desolate thy watery heart.

Darkness sky reveals beauties reflection 
only one can see.
Through the pain of sleepless head
I shutter the thought being without her.

No more warm blooded touch
nor...

When no one talks to you
The more you think there's something wrong with you
But you think, no, that's impossible
Well not really though, a lot'll get you thinking you're unstoppable
That you're not who you really are, but still a star will follow through 
Fly away, another...

behind dulcet verse
a dazzling chant of plucked strings
moonlight gleamed unseen

a grimly immortal sigh 
on someone's desolation

Kids of today, we here them say, no respect, what do you expect
Always hanging around on the streets, doing nothing and nothing to do
Is it their fault in this decaying society or should the blame lie with you
Dirty, unkempt, drug using, smoking, car thieving, layabouts,...

Desolation

When love flies away
And respect has lost its crown
Desolation thrives.

Sad dried up rivers
sharp stones stand out
neither chaos nor hell it seems...
