Best Failing Poems

Tell me a sad, sad story about a man
Who sought love more than anything,
Though he dreamed of a perfect plan
It failed from the very beginning.

Who sought love more than anything
Which is an extremely sad, sad thing,
It failed from the very beginning
Not the slightest happiness did...

At first they were in love, but soon he preferred
those sexy curves of his cute blonde employer
The divorce rate’s soaring I recently heard -
see forlorn people stand in the court foyer.
Love is actually a four-letter word,
the real winner of it all is their lawyer!
I think...

the Indian education system is the worst
because the parents and students aim for first
this is because education is turning out to money
but this is not funny
each individual has a dream
but sometimes the light does not beam
because of the society
and the parents anxiety
every parent wants their...

Caerphilly is a small town
Famous for its cheese
Has a castle looks like its falling  down
With a Moat around with geese

Outside now stands a large Statue, 
It needed to be big he would boast.
Thats what the nature of this man
Big, but stupid loved by most

Its a statue...

He was an unpopular celebrity who enjoyed his liquid food
Acting weirdly normal when he was in a happy mood

He’d been on a heavy diet and was eating lots of jumbo shrimp
They were disgustingly delicious with hot chili and on his diet he won't skimp

His stomach...

Failing Light


Come you not by faltering keyboard
Or the disastrous fandango’s of poetic minds

The niches and grand beaches of eloquent ink
Lost to us now

Mourned are such names
Who by inspiration alone delighted

Cut from swathes by idiotic stalks
Have ground their words to paltry dust

But beginnings must
And so in...

High up here,
amid this cold and alone,
my tools might best be
forgiven if they've
long-since forgot
that they deserve better.

But the only lips my teacup
have known are my blurburing two.

The only ink my brush has known
has been that scolded into some
sorrowful form on this not-mulberry rock.

The only skin...

I wept inwardly
Outwardly, I pretended that nothing happened.
It’s like a sword piercing my heart
They joked about it and I laughed
The type that doesn’t reach the soul

I asked myself,
Am I the problem or are they the problem?
I guess I did what is expected
Really, I did it...

Memories dance in her head
As she waited for his flight to land
She remembered their first date
The first time they held hands 
The first time they kissed
The first time they said 'I love you'
It was long overdue for her to see him

You are only a failure if you fail to live;
If you obey, rather than question,
Envy baubles as if they matter,
Hate official enemies, when they are humans,
Believe in public idols, when they are empty,
Accumulate things, not moments,
Pander many, rather than cherish few,
Play approved games,
Worship fashionable gods,
Buy...

(She hugs her man...)
I'm not gonna let my intuition 
Rule my judgement on this
"Hey baby, I missed you so much.
How was your flight???"
     (He sighs and looks into her eyes...)
I can't lie to this woman
I mean I am her first love
"It...

When those abominable moments in our lives come, my beloved brothers,
 
And with indignation our voice to heaven, in protest, we feel to raise
 
We have to remember the instances of happiness our companions were
 
That we did fail, miserably, skywards our eyes to turn to, our Lord...

My Failing Life  
My bones are chilled; winter like death. 
Cold lay bare - rain like tears.
Wildflower that opens in the morning and 
by the evening cut down - only to wither.
Innocence answers to fear - every heart broken
with breasts torn asunder.
Distant ghostly promises!!
Now...

Drowning in self degradation
Deliberate affliction is exacerbating 
Crystalline facade dulling senses 
Normalcy, forgetting our consensus


Score, decennary years within  
point, swirling under skin
Finality, deaths creeping in
Exodus, my last syringe...
