Best Drag Down Poems

puzzling with all the words in the order
and changing them - around, and 'round again
effecting or affected by affective disorder
to sound around some pleasing refrain

what's to be gained, again, a chorus refrain
chanted softly by the author's low voice
into the next stanza to continue the chain

THOU I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DEATH, I FEAR NO EVIL
Stricken but not stripped
Cursed but never coursed
Shot and never block
Stomped but stopped
Broke but never fell
Slapped to be crushed 
And drag down in hell
So you stand there to take a laugh…

Drowning in a pool
To swim...

Dust clings to my suit caught
by wafts of imagined vapor,
until I drag, drag, down
the dunes and depressions.

The cold a new arm of guidance.
I’m supposed to be warm,
wadded in comfort lining
but cold, cold, makes me old.

While I wander, sucking my last
breaths of precious oxygen.
I lost my...

That grudge inside me for replying u rudely always pains me
Ur innocent affection summoning ur heart let my ego drain me
That wind pass by and those tears hails
You again disappeared without any mails
I wanna shout and shriek to hold you back
But this guilt overcomes to...

Throw your white glove in a puddle of mud. 
Let it represent all of your toil.
The mud won’t get glovey, for crud is still crud,
But your glove, I’m afraid, will be soiled.

Take particular care in the friends that you keep,
For your friends either lift or...

Villanelle: Who would put us on this blue-green hot-cold earth

Who would put us on this blue-green hot-cold earth
Love us as much as we whose steps in vain grace
Why make us defile the holy womb of birth

Who wouldn’t find us such a mawkish source of mirth
Our...

Weathered this ancient brick of crimson stare
Lines like abstract graffiti
Painted on emotions

Openings glazed over in tempered glass
Curtains frayed in disbelief
Aging sashes crossing

Deeply formed jagged cracks in the facade
Curves drag down distorted flesh
The mirror does not lie

Only if you knew that you live like a God in a place my heart has found you fit to rule
only if you knew that I would be the opposite of what God would cal one of his own if I Were to find out...

And now the trickles ripple rifting
through the hues of the sky—confetti!
The words of my mouth are paintings;
a projected splash all over—frantics!
Whether they drag down God's face
blaze out streamlights—candlelights
pin a billion sunrises into a stiffened day.
How over-good—worthless crystallites?

When they fall on mangrove skies;
borrowed zephyrs compress—upsize;
explode into...

In this age of chaos, troubled tunes do chime;
seems elites can't control all the power.
Brawn does drag down ruler's clout over time,
only ones of merit can clutch the hour.
Military might has crushed many a soul
no one escapes, though millions are in play.
Through turbulent times it's...

Dreaming the dream of love in decay, 
  neurones aflame and raw; 
sifting psychic debris as night swallows day, 
  ragged and broke on the floor. 
Splintered chewed nails as they drag down the wall, 
  clawing through plaster and dust; 
crushed...

Without the darkness there would be no light
Without death there would be no life

Keeping death close to my heart, embraced close never to depart
Looking deep, eyes don't avoid, I drawing strength from deaths void
Contemplating that black abyss lets me feel lifes deep full kiss
All things...

You hear endlessly about tolerance,
as if it always must be heaven-sent,
that all differences we must appreciate,
and to not do so makes us reprobates.

And they’re always pressing for more and more,
must make friends with the folks we once deplored,
be they criminals who’ve shown no kindness,
or rioters...

This is the rest of our lives
Yet they pin us down
Do it, they say
Be whatever, however
Be with whomever, however
Just to have a title
And not to be questioned
Because of these damned timelines

Don't rush us
We actually have nowhere to be 
We don't have to actually belong
There, at...

Her tears drag down like hailstorms - 
  leaving welts across her face. 

Her shrieks & cries for help -
  have driven everyone away. 

Perhaps it's been her silence, though -
  thats earned her such a grief.

Or possibly her drive-
