Best Disenchanted Poems

Disenchanted sandcastles

Alone on a silent shoreline,
sea breeze emotions paint my skin
Sands of time slip away as I count the stars
wondering why so many seem to smile,
when I don’t

Storm fence pickets stand straight,
weathered of years watching
Holding at bay the impending dunes
where my footprints once shared these...

My muse did her fealty recuse
My honor she did stealthily reconnoiter
My discourse was grounds for divorce
Finding my writing no longer enlightening
My blithe parlance no longer my mistress did entrance
With my prose she did forthrightly dispose
Each short she did subsequently abort
Each regaling verse did prudently disburse
Each...

The Disenchanted Cottage

There was a clearing in the wood where once a charming cottage stood.
It was a dark and dismal land, a barren place of stone and sand,
Where nothing green had ever grown, the reason why was never known.
A dreary land, and what is worse,...

There were shades of tranquility
    aching 'neath civilization's cry,
still blood was shed amid glorified
  borders of battlefield's convoluted calling,
each magnified footprint pooled crimson
   filled ideologue's of disenchantment
     amidst revolutions of ill-chosen power,
 marching to drumbeats...

I was blinded to the autonomy
   Of the actions committed in the time
Moonfall hesitated, and did not see
   Malice in the eyes that were naught to be mine.
The crescent curves of a smile's sliver;
   Indecision of skin, rancid and...

Disenchanted 
Did she love him?
Eyes as bright as the moonlight she slipped away in
Laugh as dark as the world she lived in 
Her lips
They were the softest he'd ever touched
But her tongue was dipped in poison
And he's still struggling to breath
She spoke in poems that...

I'm bored and there's relief from it
that's just the way I feel
my eyes are addle I admit
a plight I won't conceal

Listlessness is visible
this is the reason why
this town's a mirrored tinsel
with a platinum color dye

You're jaded and mishandled
and your insights all but bleak
your voice is...

Shows about reality
Get my news from MTV
Ugly people everywhere
Kids today just don't care
Where's the passion where's the fun
Video games eclipse the sun
Online conversations rule
The internet's our research tool
End of times? Have to wait and see
Things today so literally
Tsunami here, earthquake there 
Freaky weather everywhere
Why's this...

in dismay
disheartened
disillusioned
why am i invisible
unheard
hardly discernible
out of my element
i don’t belong
still i will continue
to sing a song
stranded
on my desert island
sending adrift
my message in a bottle

Determined They Were Disenchanted

We did determine they were disenchanter,
After Trump would take them for granted;
Had occurred;
Trouble up stirred;
Seeds of misery and collusion had planted.

When God and I will see eye to eye,
Beautiful will have been a blue sky;
Stars...

I am as an infant 
Reaching
For the stars
Above my crib
Fascinated so
By shiny
A piece
Of metal scraps
And lacquered wood
Hanging 
By silver threads
On the lattice
Of the skies....

And finally, the time has come...
the butterflies flew away,
and the bees ran out of honey....

Engulfed in the smouldering dusk of a fractured nation,  
A voice claws through the cracks of static screens,  
And suppressed speakers,  
A distorted hymn for the disenchanted,  
A battle cry for the misled.  

The people in power berate us with...
