Best Destructiveness Poems
In an open field of endless, noiseless distance,
Rolling clouds cast an impending gloom;
A welcomed and promised darkness descends.
My eyes shut as I breathe in the aroma,
In anticipation of
The cleansing that quickly approaches.
I cloak myself in the breeze, as it promises a release..
The cool wind, calming, so gently serene...
Sweeping over my overheated skin.
Finally, the fury is perfectly unleashed down upon me.
The winds, gusting in a frenzied rush
My hair whipping haphazardly around,
Stinging at my face.
I smirk toward the sky, as I silently, but eagerly
Await the onslaught -
This desperate release that I longed for in secret.
It sought me out, and found me.
I hear the angry sounds
The roaring, begging to weep alongside me.
When suddenly, the violent tears begin to fall
With a sudden, breathtaking destructiveness.
The thunder, like me, cries out in pain,
With such sadness, angry liquid bathing the parched earth.
It saturates my face, my body drenched.
As I stand in the midst of the deluge, in awe,
Crashing winds attempt to destroy me,
But cannot find the strength.
Until the tears eventually run dry,
The painful clashes and cries become silent..
The skies yield to light, as the great and
Terrible sun demands to be seen.
I open my tear-stained eyes,
And glimpse a different world before me...
Cleansed and made new.
And I cannot understand, nor
Fathom the reality...
Of the beautifully, perfect
Broken release.

Free verse
three incisor teeth burst through fresh flesh...
opaque as pearls, strong as love, precious
beautiful baby babbles assertively
mesmerized by mishmash sounds
that her astounding mouth can make
prose poetry in its practice
as canines erupt, she moans from the ache
teeter-tottering restless to repress pain
speedily advancing in substantial strength
distracted by oblivious destructiveness
a significant stepping stone approaches
as a capable kindergarten adult
she wiggles loose her first baby tooth
receives a rich reward from a fantasy fairy
more teeth disappear like pressed piano keys
then return acutely out of tune
braces displace awkward half grins
an investment of finances and adolescence
unstoppable with seducing sweets
she sneaks cuddly candy under covers
falling asleep with sugar plum dreams
not counting a few costly cavities
free-spirited, experimental teen
meets Christina on the street
samples compelling quartz crystal
returns for seconds, as someone else disguised
mesmerized by mishmash sounds
that her astounding mouth can make
speedily advancing in substantial strength
she lucently levitates to a loftier place
a magnificent mind babbles assertively
sweeping the streets of pixie dust
no need to eat or sleep
like a firefly in heat, she dances frantically
teeter-tottering restless to repress pain
distracted by oblivious destructiveness
she visualizes voices that vivify the way
to the day's salacious survival guide
prismic vision's shimmers no longer satisfy
cotton candy granules' sweetness subsides
coming down from kaleidoscopic clouds
half-awake, she moans from the ache
shrill shrieks portray poetry's unspoken pain
death's drab projection is her heartless reflection
hocking heirlooms to trade for a transient thrill
a despondent inhabitant of tragedy
creepy crawlers invade every inch of skin
her thin figure balances a skull's shadow
irretrievable, ill-treated teeth crumble
like the city's plundered storefront windows
filthy, for granted, forlorn, fast-fading
...three feeble canine teeth remain

I awoke from my cocoon now knowing my time
I'm actually half-human from a dimension defined
But so honoured to be able to look back, and track
To witness such wanton carnage and throw up!
But it's where do I start to tidy up historical mess
As I read back a planet that's severely distressed
North Korean, American, or all with Nuclear extent
Look what you've done now, little left to repent
To amend defend this descend in such destructiveness
Tearing apart the only utopia oasis universal blush
Implosion explosion it's where you've dragged her to be
I'm now somewhere else sitting under somebody's tree

Couplet
Unwittingly, through our unsatisfying desire for more,
mankind has given birth to the Colossus.
Able to manifest, and combine the forces of nature,
striking unpredictably, anywhere, anytime across the globe,
not heeding boarders, nor mans defences.
As of now, the Colossus's ability for destructiveness is limited.
Yet still foolishly, blindly, nourishment for the beast is forthcoming,
poisons, pollutants, arrogantly pumped into the atmosphere.
So far as an infant, Colossus has only thrown tantrums.
But to continue, down this road we travel,
fearful we should be, of the day, the tethers break,
and all the matured rage, of the Colossus is unleashed.

HIDDEN
Bad turns to worse
Opening yourself to the hurt
Repeated acts of suicide
Disrupted family, no charm
Emptiness, sense of not belonging
Relationships going downhill, falling
Love then comes hate
Impulsiveness, horrible mistakes
Not allowed to change the past
If I could, more mistakes will come
Happiness will not last
People judge me for things I can’t help
Experiences, emotions I have felt
Restless, risky
Over exaggerating all the time
Never relaxed, but sometimes
Anxiety grabs and consumes me
Loosens up on its grip
But I will never really be free
Inappropriate anger, frantic it seems
The lonely hole in my heart, gigantic
Young, paranoid and alone
Disturbed, friends they disown
Identity gone, self-image uncertain
Self-destructiveness, I hide
Overdosing, a risk I have taken
Recurrent threats, promises I keep breaking
Difficulty doing what I am told
Not good with management
Excessive efforts to avoid abandonment
Restless, diagnosed borderline has me by the throat

IN THE CRUCIBLE OF LOVE
Love
unlike hate
is eternal;
and cannot be
transformed.
Love is
and can only be
its self;
but hate
has many manifestations;
demanding
and expressing evil
in various deceptive ways—
Seeking to destroy all that is good.
Ah, but the goodness of love
is of God
and is impervious
to the will and destructiveness of hate.
Love surpasses all things;
and in due season,
hate and injustice
will fade into love and justice;
and hate and inequality
shall melt and flow into equality:
Such is the power of love—
Where love is, hate cannot abide.

Scrawny Tony gaunt and bony scraggy bag of beastly bones
He was pony de la Manchu chum of Mister Marty Jones
He had an intense perception
And skills of great execution
In a sense of perfect destructiveness he chomped my hipbones

Limerick
You’ve seen my rage that can smite cathedrals’ steadfast posture
Exempting not that edifice in Notre Dame midst its antique feature…
May I remind you of hell-fire* in that place of forever torture
With restlessness’ angst and despair-puncture
Sealing the faithless in their doomed future
Midst cruel hatred’s defiant gesture.
You’ve witnessed my fury’s destructiveness
Revealed by the Notre Dame Church fire’s perilousness…
Such is just a glimpse of my fire in hell’s endless darkness
Where misery’s gloom prevails in blackness
Due to sufferings, despair, hopelessness
Leaving the convicts in their guilt’s fierceness.
You’ve beheld my wrath unleashing fatal empowerment
That reigned to haunt religious predicament and faith’s sentiment
Presenting a grim warning of hell-fire as everlasting torment
Expressing death's wailing every moment
As sorrows, anguish, woe wildly lament
With constant gnashing of teeth engagement.
You’ve experienced how it is to awakened by God Almighty
Now, reflect on this reality as I appeal to your spirituality…
My fiery ability in hell can be missed by trusting the Lord’s certainty
In placing faith in Jesus Christ’s redeeming security
He vanquished hell’s power with His sacrificial love’s purity
And you can have such assurance throughout eternity.
*Mark 9:47 …It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Personification
This reckless life has been my making,
Like a juggernaut always forsaking......
Others.
As has been my want,
I want it to end but i know that it can't.
Destructiveness! My best form of expression,
I blame depression,
When will I learn my lesson?
I'm not confessing or asking for a blessing......
Of forgiveness.
To help me out of my life mess,
Sometimes.....It all seems so pointless.
My body and mind.....need to be lifeless,
To escape....this destructive rut i'm in.
I'm not a catholic, so it isn't a sin.
I know.....
It'll be a blessing on the people around me.
But what if they found me?
Would they ever sleep soundly?
In their beds again, from what they saw,pain in their hearts and memories raw.
Why should i care?
I'll be knocking at Hell's door,
Enter for an answer so i can even the score.....
with the one.....
Who brought this all on me.
There'll be a mirror in Hell, because I know who i'll see!!!

Yolanda?
You are a stranger,
weaker than our strength,
we are too proud for our scientific breakthroughs,
you are softer than a cotton ball,
more delicate than a tamed sheep,
as passive as the most beautiful nature,
we really thought of you about that,
and we abused you,
deforested, polluted, and raped your royal environment relentlessly,
still you managed to accommodate our bulgar display of shameful disrespect,
no matter what we do,
you just shed tears to appease our insatiable greed.
But our wickedness is fast spreading like contagious disease,
giving you so much pain,
it irked you violently,
the irritation reached the point beyond your capacity of toleration,
you gathered strength,
something has to be done to cure and contain the bacteria of destructiveness that contaminated the humanity.
Time has come,
you stood up and cried no more,
the tears in your eyes turned into unthinkable anger,
unleashing the wrath beyond human imagination,
the strength of the wind you brought,
blew us like little match sticks,
our coconut plantations totally uprooted,
devastated our homes,
the havoc that you wrought were more powerful than our nuclear inventions,
it destroyed our aspirations,
everything around us turned into a terrifying nightmare,
even our strongest technological materials turned into pieces of garbages,
they could not even stand against your prowess,
the height of the tidal waves you brought,
swept us into the sea like dusts,
flattened our communities into primordial dump site,
you wiped our cities and homes out,
along with our dreams,
washed our modern structures out like pieces of torn papers,
even our scientific inventions could not stop your rage.
Yolanda?
Pretending to be weaker,
who dine and sleep with us,
actually a mass murderer,
just looking for the right time to kill us all,
and leaving thousand of dead souls litter the streets.
But,
Yolanda,
you are a respectable teacher,
the lesson you taught,
though very painful,
yet worth learning from it,
we realize that we are just humans,
abusive humans whose capacity is nothing compared with the magnitude of your strength,
and we learn to humble ourselves before you.
