Best House Of Cards Poems


Premium Member House of Cards

I thought we’d be together,
Just you and I forever,
Building our castle of dreams.
We couldn’t be divided--
Our hopes and goals united--
Was a house of cards it seems.
I can’t believe it.

I don’t believe you’d leave me
After all that we’ve been through.
I can’t believe you’ve given up.
Can’t accept you’ve given up on me and you.

House of Cards

I forget that I’m in trapped in a house of cards
until the wind comes blasting through
And I’m left again with nothing
Nothing but grief and this pile of all that I knew

I had to forget how much I cared for you
Something no one should ever have to do
Can you remember? Do you remember?
Those darkly happy days when you felt that way too?

Love so many bitter times unrequited
Two hearts broken----too broken to break anymore
You’ve become my dark horse in this race against time 
And I hope to God we’re not about to lose 

Futile 
Infantile
And all around absurd 
Is what this nightmare without you has been

We shouldn’t have to work so hard
To fall flat down on our faces
again and again

I wish you’d come out of your shell
and back to life in the warmth of my arms once again

House of Cards

I've been living in the house of cards
That I can almost know your move
Cause I've seen how the cards shuffle 
And how the games have been played 

I learnt all this while growing up in the house 
By age of seven, I could keep a straight face
And bluff while I had my face on
I had no room for being played 

I had a heart of aces,
A poker heart, a true art
That's why i was good at games
Cause I knew when to bend the rules 

I learnt the game then the players
That I should never up my hand
Cause that would only raise stakes on me
And only make it harder for me to win 

I learnt that I can't do it all alone
That's why at every table I sat
I made sure I made a friend
One that always has my back

House of cards

I.

I fear
the clock
renders
neither mirror
nor dull glass.
Like the Lilly
it moves
and grows
and dies
unseen
by our
distracted
eyes,
telling me
nothing,
moment by moment.
Time, 
her only 
transgression
is death--
quick,
fluid,
emaciated,
withering and
vast.

II.

I will touch the sun
and every 
gray
will taste 
my eternity.

I will build
Babylon
with an
edict,
with an
imperial
deck of cards,
screaming,
hissing,
blind,
knowing.

You taught me, 
after all.

III.

Prince, 
ha-satan,
you
laid 
the ruin track
for me,
taught me to 
accuse 
Love.
You,
grand inquisitor,
pro-bono
prosecutor, 
veiling the world 
again
beneath fire,
beneath scales
under
twisted mouth.

IV.

We once knew
a peace
under
sun and rain.
God offered
the sun
and the rain
before 
snow fell
from 
the evil tree,

before acid 
dripped down
and you,

you, 

you,

heard your name
over and over 
again,

and the madness
cradled 
you
in flame.

Premium Member His House of Cards Fell

The Billionaire Boys Club was spurned.
On debut night, it crashed and burned.
It stars Kevin Spacey
who’s lewd, crude, and racy--
a predator, as we have learned.

What goes around DOES come around.
This adage is true, we have found.
So many are paying        
for wrong things they’re saying
and doing. The stories abound.

It’s not just the ones on the news
who’ve erred. We all have much to lose.
No matter who we are,
an unknown or big star,
We all end up paying our dues!

House of Cards

They have so chipped at the foundation there is little left
Taking Gods' Word from this nation is like a constant theft
Just take a look around as seemingly every Nation is at war
Ourselves now so morally unsound and especially at our core

His Grace since lifted with His Name not even allowed in school
Oh how the devil has promptly sifted, so much so I can feel his drool 
With our children now unprotected our country has begun to slide
And the one fact everyone has neglected is that satan hasn't even tried

So the house now stands, unborn soaking it's most lower walls
As these once sovereign lands now have a whole new set of laws
Even His Earth has begun to convulse as the waves know of His Way
Yet you it still doesn't repulse "for everyone is entitled to their say"

But when it does finally begin to fall it won't take very long
If you can't now hear His Call why then would you be so strong
Yet a few cards will stand despite what happened to the rest
Oh this poor ravaged land, which once was so very blessed

A House of Cards

Have you ever considered how delicate we humans are
How fragile and complicated compared to say, a car.
I got an image in my head while reading scripture,
Of a house of cards all balanced against each other.
Then Satan comes along to blow the house down,
And Jesus rebuilds His house with nary a frown.
The more we place Jesus in our trust of Him,
The more Satan's chances grow ever more dim.
So I'm happy to be like that house made of card,
Satan knows full well that Jesus will never discard,
Anyone who loves Him with all of their heart,
From his house of cards He will never depart.
When you build up your house, you start at the base,,
Put the knave at the bottom in a place of disgrace.
Put a heart on each layer with a diamond for praise,
Be in the club where Our Lord Jesus we raise.
A strong roof to take all the rain, leave a space spare,
Reserve a place at the top for The King resides there.

House of cards, no agent can sell
Sulfuric regret all I smell
Laid flat with quiet violence
By one soft breath of pure silence

Building it shouldn't be so hard
The joke's on me with no discard
Loyalty my own worst penance
By one soft breath of pure silence

Was told triangles built strong things
But the most coveted are those rings
Stand them back up in defiance
By one soft breath of pure silence

Vows it seems, forgotten notion
My breath not soft, nor pure silence

House of Cards

this house of cards
I can't build faster
each one placed spells
sweet disaster
keep on building, higher it goes
standing up on my tiptoes

the wind blows hard
it stays in place
feeling your breeze
blowing on my face
house of cards is holding strong
one on one, on and on

the final card is put in place
queen of hearts, saving grace
it all trembles and starts to fall
fantasies that hit the wall
a house of cards is always weak
be careful of the ones you seek

House of Cards

I am an ace of diamonds
and you are an ace of spades
together we are two of a pair
like a king and a queen
living it up like a pair of jokers
inside a house of cards

House of Cards

I won all my trophies 
In a blood stained dress
Middle of the stairs 
I tripped, they stared 
Every step you take 
Is a cut in vain 
So realize before it’s too late 
The whispers, the laughing 
The screams, the war 
The phantom songs 
Playing in the background 
The world they created 
The life you believed in
The house of cards 
Meticulously crafted 
Will burn down 
With you inside it

House of Cards

I once built a house of cards.
At the top's the queen of hearts.
Diamonds glitter, clubs grow like clovers 
Spades decorate the castle all over.

Carefully constructed, everything in place
My home is perfect from the top cards to the base.
I am its chief, its builder and king
I unlock its door and let the bells ring.

Open to the world, people trickle in.
It's meant to be a safe place for them and their kin.
Out of curiosity, its first guest mentions its impurities
Pointing out each flaw and every insecurity

I take a step back, then two, then five.
The card house is trembling as if it's alive.
Shaking on my head, each card collapses to the ground 
The kingdom's all falling; it's entirely been downed.

I'm filled with memories of agony and pain
Forced to relive it all once again.
I clench my fists, then let them go.
And away to the wind I let my card house blow.

Premium Member House of Cards

tucked away in your castle
master of the universe
isolated bunkered
guarded and surrounded
basking in delusions

one wild card and suddenly
your masterplan does not compute
so beneath you
your house of cards
tumbles tumbles tumbles
without net or safeguard

question is
do you dare
to reinvent yourself
