Best Devastates Poems


Premium Member Yesterday's Fragile Truth
Betrayal devastates your trusting heart,
severing the bonds of love from the start.
And depression slowly entraps your soul;
for disparaging lies exact their toll.

Chameleon clouds change to match your mood
by releasing tears, sad emotions brewed.
And at the crossroads of sane and insane,
your heart breaks under the weight...

Premium Member Fueled By Love
Grief hides itself
behind a veil
of anger, fear, and disbelief,
and yet, it invades your every thought.
Inside, you want to lash out
at death;
to send the hurt back!
Grief clings to death,
and in so doing
devastates the living.
Your world shrinks
to memories,
reflected in pools of tears.
And life loses its spark,
a part...

Rhyme God
Enter the Everest that devastates 
as he never ever rests and demonstrates 
his quick wit picnic of traits that place 
with lickety split flicks on the page 
the tricks of a contortionist wrist that emits embers at pace 
as he commits and performs on the...

Premium Member Sly Fox
slinking through the woods
finding camaraderie only from wolves

heartless, relentless, self-absorbed
predator of the vulnerable

devouring her soul
crushing her hopes
devastating dreams
finding satisfaction when she succumbs

the fox knows nothing of love
seeks but conquest
revels in despair of victims

takes her carcass down to the river
washes purity from her tormented soul

she saw...

Premium Member Love's Magic
Confronting fragile feelings within;
pain will inevitably begin.
And pride rebuffs attempts to amend,
the sins that you stubbornly defend.

In a world of shakers and takers,
trickery breeds liars and fakers.
And fledgling spirits, clipped of their wings;
attract trouble and the tears it brings.

Doubt devastates your heart with despair;
letting uncertainty...

Premium Member Oblivion
Hiding in the shadows
dementia devastates;
as sanity slowly
begins slipping away.

When your memory fails,
life loses its meaning;
and you become depressed;
bewildered, and confused.

Your heart morphs into a
desolate derelict;
a floundering vessel
not even love can save.

Hope's quickly depleted,
for trust doesn't exist;
only time remains true,
in this facade of lies.

And when reality's
stranger...

Premium Member Juvenile Dreams
Love should feel like a burning flame of fire,
fueled by everlasting bonds of trust.
And not the promises of a liar;
distorting truths in the pursuit of lust.

You feel the tears building behind your eyes
as your hopes sink, scuttled by betrayal.
And realizing what each drop implies,
dreams collapse...

Premium Member You Cling To Hope
Unrequited love is shallow;
lacking depth, it cannot float dreams.
Yet, you will forego happiness
for a lifetime of silent screams.

Both tormentor and destroyer,
doubt devastates your sense of pride.
A heart that craves a love denied
will wilt and slowly die inside.

Wishes attack reality;
striking with irrational force.
Unattainable dreams fuel
frustration, anger,...

Glimpses of You
Glimpses of you…
An image so mesmerizing, I bask in shame to rely on these bedazzled eyes
So full of wisdom and heart, your globes keep me glazed
Grazed on the swift-shotted bullet of your gaze

Do not let him see how he drives me mad
Get your head out...

Premium Member You Cannot Control Me Or My Words
Think you can control me? Control my words? 
They are oozing and bubbling already, and not your direction.
Control me?
I laugh. I scoff. I sing. I throw my bags in a taxi. I am gone.
But wait a second I tell the cabbie. I run back in....

Love is a catastrophe, a bittersweet madness, a wild affliction that invades your soul,
Disturbs your peace, devastates your routine, transforming you into a shadow of what you once were,
Each moment under its spell an odyssey of contradictory emotions,
Like a storm sweeping across the fields of...

It's Two Days After Thursday
Enter the Everest that devastates,
he never ever rests and he demonstrates,
how the greatness activates traits
that forever feed hate,
into enemies with envious jealousy
and sad little nul and void abilities.

It's a given that even if you sail the seven seas,
as well as trail the land you will...

Premium Member Involuntary Suicide
Smoking is a deadly addiction
that slowly kills with each cigarette.
And as tobacco tightens its grip
it devastates you with its effect.

You shun the rules of society
and sneak that inevitable puff.
For you're hooked and unable to quit,
your nicotine habit's much too tough. 

You fight off bouts of...

Water
Water- Lauryn hill unplugged( Kian breakfast in bed)

I shouldn't spend so much time
in the forlorn
Saddened by the mistakes that haunt me
The past for which I can not change is gone for good
Rinsed down the drain.
And that's a good thing
A filtration system meant to recycle in...
