Best Fade Away Poems
This tear stained soul
called out in pain
The day our pleasures
fell like rain
Your softest touch
my skin knew well
Now scars my heart
with pangs from hell
Fade away Nirvana, fade away
Fade away Nirvana, fade away
Mournful thoughts cut
like Blue North Winds
As I strain to hear
your voice again
I've tried new words
and sang our song
But a change of lyrics
just seemed wrong
Fade away Nirvana, fade away
Fade away Nirvana, fade away
I miss the quiet
spent at your side
With love, no one
could make us hide
But now the noise
of less things said
Drowns out the hope
that's left for dead
Fade away Nirvana, fade away
Fade away Nirvana, fade away

Lyric
My one burning wish -
I want not to fade away
like rotten lace, dumped
onto a trash heap and forgotten.
I want to leave myself behind,
for those who come after
to inhale during breakfast.
Not money, like my mother,
who judged it to be the only thing
of worth she had to leave behind,
as though her love meant nothing,
as though her virtue didn't count.
A nonpareil pattern of motherhood,
of personhood for that matter,
written in permanent script,
propagated in layers of goodness,
flung onto her progeny
with the glue of infinity.
As long as I live, so will she.
I want that,
when it's my turn to go.

Beneath the heavens
An endless garden
The summer sun sneaks
A wink of amorous warmth
Seeks an ardent love
Walking not alone
Humming full of wonder
Critiques, and ponders
Knocking at the door
Of yesterday perfect love.
Crave to release the world
Bound to the pages
Page by page
Another night to drown
In the waves of his
Moonlight blue eyes
Nestle deeply into his soul
Melt and fade away in his arms
Savor honey kiss once again
The Strawberry moon rises
Light cast shadows in darken absence
Smitten with utter stillness
Whilst she weakens giving up to the world
Its myth beneath the heavens

This thing we call life has had a toll on me,
I see all I love living in captivity.
A slave to the money,
A slave to the fame,
They don’t even realize their enrolled in the game.
The things that once mattered are chained to the floor,,
I can’t even recognize myself anymore.
Waves of deception
are Distorting all I have seen,
I feel like my life is a batch of bad dreams.
The puppet master is at it again,
This time its innocence that has been stolen.
While all are intertwined in this competition to nowhere
She quietly retreats and her branches grow bare.
The sorry is stifled by the screams in this place,
The images are engrafted, they cannot be erased.
And the years keep on going
And the times they are showing.
While they burry their heads in the sand
God continues to stretch out his hand.

Sap has run dry
Time for me to die
My smile has run away
On the horse of my childhood
Spring will be no more
A season beyond my grasp
Life has fluttered away
Wasted moments, in lines
Gluttonous desires have filled me
With veins of death
No love to hold
No life I am told
Voices dancing in my head
Sweet words after I am dead
Ravens and crows all in black
Line up behind the vultures in suits
The last song, whispers her sad melody
As a silent ghost comes along
To witness my demise
Kissing the cold grey stone
Beholden to dreary skies
As I rest among the rodents and flies

Light Verse
I passed strangers with their secrets
The other day
Something surreal and macabre
I faced this lonely road alone
I walked this blind street
With a faultless mischief
My fears withheld within
A stranger to myself
So I embraced my shadow
And prayed for quietness in my head!

Life,is strange we are born ,then grow sometimes in wisdom sometimes not.we only have one chance ,will we hold a gun or a hand.no matter what we do we pay at the end which comes fast.we hold a gun,and shot for fun what if it's your family you might not care but you have to have someone that was there.and maybe that you care .I'm not The Lord The God you love but I'll be a friend to pull you though .just think this way put down the Guns and walk in peace.because if there's hate there no way to go and a gun comes your way what would you do? take a minute to think you would cry and beg not to die.The people sin and do there thing .someone watching just get smart.the Creator is watching every day you may laugh but not for long.The way are life's are going now.if we don't change we will fade away.now just remember one more thing if not tomorrow let's all pray together today.

We voted them in and then cussed
They will be voted out in disgust
The arrogant charge
Of the leader at large
Will soon fade away like Pixie dust

With my hand I wrote across a rainy
sky...
My words dripped down in a poetic
stride...
Messages not read will soon fade
away...
As my hands fold into and rest until another
day...

Fade away
To them on the hills of power
Like it or not
We are the wall
The people is
The voice of god
We are the pen
You penned by your greed
With your cheat
Like it or not
We are the wall
That ball you throw
Will fall back to you
For you now don't see
Not even feel
As the lives so many are
Worthless
So you will fade away
Like it or not
We are tired of suffering
Like it or not
We are the wall you
Can't dear cross
We are the voice
That wipe your ass
For your existence
Will always like the smoke
Your create with your wars
Fade away
Like it or not
We are the wall
Lies and power
your biggest dream
Oh man that can't save you
Believe it or not
We are the wall
That will finally fall
On you
Then you will exist no more
As your legacy so sow
The memory of you
Will be our victory
Just as finally you will

I am standing watching the river of time flow
Days, nights, seasons, come and go
I am praying to the lord to grant me strength and will
I am wishing in my heart that time would stand still
Memories flow through my mind like grains of sand
I think of my parents who taught me to walk, to stand
My wife, my child, who helped my feet stay aground
My friends who stood by me, even when my actions weren’t sound
I think about my job, my uniform, the shine of brass
Of testing times when I stared death in the face
When my men toiled, spilt guts and blood
Never disobeying an order, for thoroughly they were bred
Today I stand at the threshold of death and life
But I see the results of all that trouble and strife
I see the way my boys became men
And stood by me and shared my burden
As my eyes close and I take my final breath
I feel at peace and smile at death
I know my life was well lived, wasn’t wasted away
I hope that’s what my family and my men would say.

There’s a weight on my chest that won’t go away
A stinging in my eyes, but it’s not the rain
Scars on my arm that take forever to fade away
Drowning out the world because participation leads to pain
Hearing the whispers when you’re alone
“Nobody cares about you… Just kill yourself already”
The darkness creeps up ever so slowly
The weight just gets more heavy
Wanting to find ways to numb the pain
and make the world go away for a day
Nobody notices when you start to cry
You become invisible, but its not that you’re shy
Why open up when the world wants you to die?
You’re too much of a burden to ask for help
Even if you had a rope to your throat and
try to see if you can fly
Dipping your pillows into the ocean
The only comfort you have is that other people wouldn’t be bothered by your death
You become two different people
The one you were whispers for help, with tears in your eyes
While the one you became shouts “I’m fine” and smiles, refusing to let the other you
reach out for help, before you decide to take your life
The one you became smothers you, refusing to talk to anyone
You fall deeper into yourself
Until you fade away completely

It’s so hopeless.
I try so hard to be strong, because I know the people around me need somebody to be.
But how much stronger can I be when I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Peace is like a foreign concept to me.
I’ve had fleeting moments of happiness, but without fail, are always followed by a storm of pain and suffering.
When does it end?
When do I get to cry on someone's shoulder?
When will someone notice my pain without having to tell them?
Hopelessness doesn’t even describe what I am feeling.
I wake up in excruciating pain every morning and yet it goes unrecognized.
You can’t see my pain.
Most of the time I can’t decide if it’s real or fake.
But it’s there.
What I wouldn’t give for someone to acknowledge my presence.
Acknowledge a statement I made or a simple good morning back.
Yet, without fail, my words flow through the earth like a wandering ghost, never
to be seen or heard from again.
So, tell me, if I am to be a ghost while alive...
What would happen if I were to truly fade away?

I am tied together with little pieces of string.
Thin frail ones, tied in little knots—
Not enough string left for a bow.
Shoulder
Elbows
Wrists
Kept together with knots.
String wither over time so another
I wrap and make into a bow
That bow--over time
Will become just another knot.
Hips
Knees
Ankles
Sometimes I think are broke
My whole body creeps and crawls--just tweaks out.
Like Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball.
