Best Estrangement Poems


Premium Member Estrangement
I run and I dance, around and behind,  
picking up the golden pieces that fall.
Chunk of heart here, a bit of soul no mind,
shedding your glory, constructing a wall. 
I follow, needle and thread in my care, 
trying to mend you to stop my...

Estrangement
.Past the estrangements
Witnessing profuse isolation
Fidgety deep the listless eyes
Conjures up hallucinations
Suffering the incagement
Dreams of touching the skies
Tainted sphere
Smothering her hopes
She breathes in poisoned air
Much like gloomy saprobes
Mistful lashes
Memory on flashes
Fabricated smile
Loaded on heart so fragile
Fails to hide the bedlam
Regret clustered in lump
Can't help but succumb
Yet...

Premium Member Mother Said
She seeks her enlightenment with hunger like a wolf 
Trapped in a sacred bubble shrinking with licked wounds
Pushing out the people once vital now twice pierced 
With the absence of the presence and the love now just a breadth 

Of the time she spent asking...

Looking In
LOOKING IN

Morning,
Awake yes,
Alive, on the fringe,
The dream again,

The image isn’t mysterious,
I’ve been excluded,
His life isn’t inclusive,
I peer in a widow pane, 

Looking for him,
My home is vacant,
As is my heart, 
But sharing the house,

As if different dimensions,
Moving past him,
He past me, 
We are passing ghost,

Once...

Premium Member The Other Side
To those people who spend most of their life
surrounded with worldliness its cares and strife
this piece is dedicated it is my duty to convey
without any effort not to I'd be left in dismay.

One should always let know and be willing to confide
through terms of endearment...

Premium Member Peace of Writing In the Night
Sunday eventide on the slope of the
fire-hued mountain,
owls take flight from the pine boughs,
I'm sitting by an open window,
peace of writing in the night.

Hunter's moon, so settled on the ridge
and brightly goldenrod,
the young days of autumn's presence,
sipping cinnamon hot cider,
baying hounds in the smoky valley,
songbird's...

Danger's Silent Threat
girl weeps through the night,
her love gone to distant lands,
danger's silent threat.

girl's tears merge with rain,
lost love in a distant land,
heartache's gentle bath.

in her dream, he's near,
lover's steps, she stirs, yawns soft,
Love's presence brings warmth....

Exit Stage Right
Someone slowly makes a move
Somewhere in the night
A light switch, a lighter
Some razor blade laughter 
Making someone alright

For an hour or maybe two
Any more, you’re getting greedy
Drive her home in the morning
Any more, you’re getting needy
And who’s got time
For that in their life?

The dark bishops...
