Best Linings Poems
oh how a newborn’s first tear helps dilute ~ mortality’s bitter truth
death dissolves in such sweet moments ~ if soluble never absolute
She tried hard to dance on silver linings
Though she was not a very graceful girl
Those awkward left feet would always trip her
Into the dark clouds she would always fall
Though she was not a very graceful girl
She had a strange grace in the way she moved
Into the dark clouds she would always fall
Yet I never saw her without a smile
She had a strange grace in the way she moved
Those she thought were her friends would laugh at her
Yet I never saw her without a smile
I wondered what was going on in her mind
Those she thought were her friends would laugh at her
If it hurt her she did not let it show
I wondered what was going on in her mind
Perhaps that's why I came to her rescue
If it hurt her she did not let it show
I knew there must be sad beyond the smile
Perhaps that's why I came to her rescue
In that moment she was able to cry
I knew there must be sad beyond the smile
Those awkward left feet would always trip her
In that moment she was able to cry
She tried hard to dance on silver linings
Now with a true friend, she is able to fly
Check out my mom's latest poem, she totally shocked me
Hilarious stuff. Her Poetry Soup Name is Mama Bear.
In The Realm of Silver Linings,
you never will find rust,
and never will you ever
see things turn to dust.
Bees may sting, but in this realm,
a bee’s sting does not hurt.
The sweetest honey flows instead.
Baklava will be dessert.
In the Realm of Silver Linings,
should you break a bone,
by nightfall you are healed.
No one has been heard to groan.
Illness rarely finds you there.
Even if it should -
recovery comes as easily
as simply knocking wood.
In the Realm of Silver Linings
lemons don’t need to be sour,
and needful rainfall only comes
lightly like a shower.
You may think such a place
as this cannot exist,
but those with faithful hearts
by good luck there are kissed.
In the Realm of Silver Linings
live those who learned to cope
with trials previously given
but who all the while kept their hope!
Look for the silver lining in everything you see,
Not all things are as they seem to be.
Abuse lurks behind poverty, frowns, money, and smiles.
Nobody knows the hurt of another’s trials.
When you think your whole world has fallen apart,
You are not alone with your broken heart.
There is the silver lining, look out and see your future
If abuse teaches anything, it is about human nature
No longer, be defined by hateful words of any woman or man
Let abuse teach you strength, and that you won’t be over 'ran.'
An abuser wants you to believe; you are nothing but a broken mess
Instead, decide about your very own happiness
It won’t be easy, but enough courage you will find
To take a stand for your future, and leave the abuser behind
If someone is assaulting your self-esteem
If they think they are funny when they are mean
Not another five minutes should you stay!
It just doesn’t have to be that way
Do not allow cruelty at your own expense,
A silver lining of loving yourself is your greatest defense.
Kian's Silver lining playbook
I thought it naturally
Celestial greetings
From birds chirping
Sweet smelling you
greeted by smiling happy you
I can't help but feel like love cheated both of us
Not every story has a heroin who
saves the day
Some stories are devoid of a happy ending
I'm trying to find my silver lining
At first I cried myself to sleep
Playing the what if game
That's one you can't win
Can't look back
Gotta learn to forgive
I was willing to sacrifice my happiness
In order to give give give
Can't squeeze blood from a turnip
I kept waiting for a breakthrough
But one never turned up
So a year has past
no sign of you
Time is moving fast
perhaps in a vacuum
I have sucked away your scent
No more perfume
I have yet to cast
away all those demons
Perhaps the voices in your head
talk to me too.
I hope I meet someone who
makes me just as crazy
in love too!
To me that would be winning
It would be my silver lining
In every silver lining I find
Dark clouds hiding inside.
In the mist I stumble blind
In sheets of rain I try to hide.
I climb over rocks that bear your name
Finding my way over boulders of time.
Memories of you a searing, burning flame
I Alice through the looking glass sublime.
In fuzzy delusions I find the peace
You and I, chimes in the moving air.
Carpe Diem, the day we will seize
If sanity is lost, I really do not care.
For the flames are burning high
Burning is the longing within.
I look at silver linings with a sigh
Knowing dark clouds will always win.
So when i play this beautiful music,
you shatter your eyes at me,
an when i talk and speak so clearly,
you whisper when the angels don't see,
so my spirits of jade and hopes are so true,
you ask them, oh what could he be,
when i sing so beatiful just like a bird,
you glare and stare at the trees,
oh when i touch you when we pray together ,
you turn your back on to me,
oh when it is, our children do play,
you give them but only till three,
do you worship and praise this place in glory, or is he just real to me,
I always thought that I was the wrong,
but lately my eyes can see.
"i want to fall out of this cloud, mars."
she looked at him with sincere eyes, running her fingers through his golden locks.
he lifted her chin with a single finger and kissed her, and with a warm voice of discipline, told her,
"earth was not made for you. thinking like that won't grant you freedom on earth, it will only bind you to it."
she rolled onto her stomach and stared down onto earth with longing, and bitterness grew inside of her.
she breathed heavily and murmered, "heaven is hell when you don't want to be in it."
There were times
when she only believed in rainbows
All the different colors held so much promise
In one instant all that changed
She was confronted by the cold reality
That not everything consist of rainbows and silver linings
In real terms life has its best and its worst moments
She just had to decide on which ones she was going to focus on more

Concealing Silver Linings
Peaceful Painter:
With paintbrush in hand she leaned forward to paint the moon black
Exposing cold shoulders to an outcome abstract
To her dismay the light around the edges could not be concealed
For a light in the darkness cannot NOT be revealed
Darkness is as consuming as a hand that is sleight
Yet we can go blind by staring into the light
Chaos Ensues:
Running from the chaos that was happening in town
She kept tripping on the lies that were laying around
Landing on hypocrisies blanketing the ground
Surrounded by demons holding her down
Weather perpetually pushed or reluctantly hurled
She ran right off the edge of the world
Some minutes consume me like venom darting up your leg
Straight to the heart
No restraint
Like ice melting on a summer day,
the silence of a forest on a frosty day-
Relentless,
Cold,
bittersweet,
The sun rays provide no warmth
Just hope.
Some seconds I fall into the depths of my own sorrow
Forgetting what was, what is to become
And I retreat-
I fall down the sinkhole,
Trapped deep within the dirt
But I’m alright here.
I have found comfort in the treacherous cold,
The pain I feel in my heart-
Almost empty
A kind of frostbite chilling to your bone
A hollow void you’re stuck in like a continuous loop
And yet we must keep moving-
Can’t get stuck in the past
Even though there’s more comfort there than anywhere-
We must survive.
There’s a constant battle of remembering and living-
Living in the past, present, and future
Neglecting anything that doesn’t serve your life
because we aren’t promised another day
We aren’t even promised a year
Let alone a decade,
And as we swallow the doubt that love will ever consume you again-
A hug you look for in every person-
We must look within for guidance
Look inside to see the light-
There will never be light outside-
In the cold dark unforgiving world,
Now in survival mode, we must have faith-
Believe in the invisible linings
In the Realm of Silver Linings
I am poor;
each dark cloud ignores
the bright light
that breaks a long dark night
of sorrow
for the time
of childish imaginings
and the world that waits
beyond the shadows.
I have walked through fire
Lived in darkness
Felt a lifetime of pain
Yet I still breathe
Hope, it carries me
Love, it releases me
Time, it heals me
Life, it gives new breath in me
I've taken the breath of colds brisk air
Felt the heat of hells death stare
Yet still I breathe
To the tune of my souls immortality
You can't beat me
You can't hurt me
You can't disarm the desires that move me
You can't destroy me
You can't consume me
Nor persecute away the fires of love that motivate me
I am me
Yet still
In all the darkness of the vast array of valleys I've seen
In light
In love
My soul will always breathe
Even better than that though
Is the beauty I choose to see
Truly the silver lining
Of the world in pain
Standing right before me

Bellows of Ecstasy
makest them envoy
wondering why those who hear words are in opposition
than, and there beyond
the frays: edges of people who
wish to hem the lining
that there coat's are torn
seen only by the wearers eye's
fabrics of those who wish to
love like I love
God,
I feel the water gather
And I pray not to fail
