Best Go Down Poems


I Must Go Down To the Sea Again
I must go down to the sea again,
My face turned towards the sky
With wind-snatched sounds from the beach below
And above, the seagull’s cry.

Let me walk along the cliff again. 
Let me learn into the gale.
See the breakers as they curl and crash
Hear the sound of...

Let Me Watch The Sun Go Down

Let me watch the sun go down
The end of a life giving day
The flowers tightly curl
Hiding their beauty until the light returns
Breezes slow and fade into stillness
The scents of the day drops onto the moist ground
Animals crawl into their...

When I say stuff you don't agree with
and you ask me questions about it
and I answer them

to know each
other as long as respect is foremost

Ashes Might Go Down Easier
Once in a while -in a moment 

of immense sulfurous clarity, when 

every grace I locked in my dilated pupils

begins to form lesions, yellow-running

tears through the deepest, lusty scarlet –

black and white would be a relief.


My mind billows like sheets,

silken, swathing whore-hues

over my perception.

I have...

If You Go Down To the Streets
if you go down to the streets today
beware of the frozen ground
if you go down to the streets today
you're sure to go slippin' around

for all the snow so pretty last night
has gathered there and turned into 
ice
Today's the day you need claws on 
your footsies.

Premium Member I Shall Only Go Down On My Knees For My Father---
Suffer me to fathom the sorrows
The unrighteousness of today's tomorrows
I shall not surcom to those pressures of life
I shall not give in to those valleys of demons strife
Render me on my pleas
I shall only go down
On my knees for my Father
And my Father's Name is...

Words Grow Oysters Go Down
Words Grow Oysters Go Down

Words grow on barbed wire
On acid rain with sugar droplets
They sit on foreigners tongues assembled
Numbered and fermenting
Difficult to pronounce
Or say in public
Words never come easily
Buying vowels is expensive
Consonants too solid for the air around them
Stay heavy. They end there, untouched
Some words...

When Stones Go Down
Stones hide under rocks for cover
Left to their own devices they will never move
And don't have plans this afternoon

There is something about boulders too
Breaking loose from mountain tops
Roaring down with tumbling sounds

Stones have no choice but to follow in their actions
Join in the boulders calamity...

Bad luck?  Bad news?
--Rage blindly
--Deny utterly
--Nosedive completely...

...Analyze deliberately
   Examine painstakingly
   Accept graciously...

Premium Member Do Not Go Down There
No, no, I tell you, no
Do not go down there,
Turn back from the door
Step away from the stair

I cannot tell you, I can't 
The secrets and the lies,
Because... it's too... dreadful 
When a pretty thing dies

Yes, she was a pretty thing
But, should you see her...

Tonight You Go Down Rotten Rodney
You don't see what I see.

You don't feel what I feel.

The truth is quite evident,

It's not concealed. The

Burdens you have are

Not light. Your own battles

You're trying to fight. You

Will be brutalized until you

Won't make a sound all

Because you refused to

Leave town and you continue

To clown...
