Best Devourers Poems


State of Mind
Heart seems to stop, all things become scary,
The mind becomes dark, but tired and weary.
Both silence and sound makes desperation seem loud, 
Boundaries and limits arise as hopelessness covers your eyes.
The physical pain seems like a hope, 
the souls deepest corners covered with mould.
Uncontrollable horror...

Sunrise
The moon acquainted the sun
after every dusk
The moon lived in the void
of the sun’s slumber
Only to die every morning
and leave the sun
 forever shining
without it

The sun is lonely 
who howls to the moon
The shadow of rain drops
clouding it’s light
as solitude devourers it
Leaving it to freeze

The...

The Armageddon In the Niger Delta
*THE ARMAGEDDON   IN THE SOUTH*

Blessed with inestimable reservoirs 
Countless traps sealing gas yet untouched 
Seated on wealth beyond its numbers 
Wealth to sustain their  tenth generations 
Enough  to feed the glutton of the deserts 
Favoured in Powerful wealth and health 
With...

Victim of the Night
I've become a victim of the night
the predators they howl my name.
Heads raised up with their pride,
a haunting silence in their taunting stride,
waiting for me to come their way. 
Once the dark night hides the sun,
the greatest devourers have temporarily won
for within the depths of...

Insanity Or Death the Mind of a Survivor
Enters Shawnteysmo
Searching for the right answers using the wrong clues
Trying to cure cancer when clutching a carpenters tools
Handed death or mental disaster the latter I did choose
Like dog without a master Im breaking all the rules
I speak when I'm not chosen turn football games to...

People of Darkness
They move in secret, cautiously,
	these people of only one way.
Trusting in the blinding dark suspiciously
	defiling the hopes and dreams of yesterday.
Detours they avoid abruptly
	retracing every step, too fearful of today.

People of darkness live secret and alone,
	what are they afraid of?
Trembling at discovery and being found...

The Dark Side of Hope
At first he was pitied for being enchanted by the necromancer. For it was obvious that he was lonely and misunderstood. His followers still wanted so deeply to believe he had some goodness inside of him - despite his emerging inability to demonstrate attributes of...

Premium Member The End of the Road
My love, we'll dance beneath palms no more
Nor raise our glass of exaltation again
Our windswept footprints leave our barren shore
And the sun will set, for tears to be hidden in

Parting brings sadness when the road ends
Its final destination leaves nowhere to turn
To darkness, in silence,...

Broken Machines
It’s the key, and the unlocking.
It’s the face staring down from the 13th floor
while we look up, squinting at the sun.
Everybody’s on the run
and looking behind them,
knocking on closed doors
while looking through the hole
and wishing it was locked.
Still staring down from the top floor
at the...

Premium Member In The Shadow Of Sunlight
In the shadow of sunlight, darkness reigns;
and ebony pools into shifting shapes.
Color gets absorbed; only black remains;
imprisoned by shadows, no light escapes.

Shadows require the light of the sun,
never underestimating its might.
Yet, dark devourers shadows, leaving none;
absorbing shadows untethered from light.

Without the light, darkness cannot exist;
for...

Premium Member Imbibing Icing of Isolation
Inside familiar folds of my hanging apron
I encounter a blinkless miniature figurine
Glossy, posable, plastic as a Lego creation
Loyal component of kitchen enforces routine 

Breakfast allures with buttery muffins toasted
Lunch- a- lot predicts sandwich towers teetering
Dinner calls for lavish legs of livestock roasted
Day which follows knows...

The Colour Black
T-The colour of despair, that fills your head,
H-hungry black devourers.
E-eating up all the hope.

C- Creating beauty in the sky,
O- opening up the glory or the stars,
L-light illuminating the dull black night,
O-only to increase blacks greed, to become the most noticed thing again,
U-unique is not something...

I Was Forgotten
I was forgotten because you forgot me
And left me all alone
Loneliness full of pain, bitterness, and tears
That I no longer can hold

I was forgotten because he allowed it
Let me suffer of my emotions
He let me burn down his walls of trust
Now I'm not even left...

GEMUT APOCALYPTICUS
GEMUT APOCALYPTICUS

Terrain to thy welcoming, clapsing
As the sky in fear of the rage, gasps
Oh to devour the devourers tasking
Prepared for thee Oh apocalis

The blue in time so lovely
I could feel the touch firmly
On the contour to thine rays
To light the path to thine rains

It's about...
