Best Live And Die Poems

Live Or Die, You Couldn't Do Both

Upon that dark ground, life was bloody and blue
all dark mists brought more than was due.
Dusty storms, blew about with black hands of Fate
lost as hurt seemed to escalate.

Within hidden shrouds, nights ate sad, dying souls
you cried within odd...

I LIVE, I DIE,  I KNOW WERE TO GO    

Tendrils, memories cascade a stormy mind
Now where did I leave my pride
Forgotten now, a pearly shell on a distant shore
My death will be fierce, I am not afraid to die
But pain, well...

Dark falls between walls, following powerful lightning
This day is nameless, in the vast bottomless universe
Black rain, I believed in progress but the real truth became my lessons
Death is mute, time and eternity ... a poor soul
A taste of heaven perfume - for you I will...

TO BE, TO FEEL, TO LOVE, TO LIVE, TO DIE

TO BE is that existential moment that defines each of us on our
respective life paths as we each individually acknowledge the
reality of our human existence on this Earth. To be able to laugh
and cry, to think...

Live hard and die young has gone awry
I lived hard but not enough to die
Aches and sprains
Arthritis pain
Live hard and die hard seems to apply!...

I wish…
that war happening around us
would end soon. I feel 

awful when I think 
of people dying 
or, when I see  innocent souls 
have been shot. I feel 

awful when someone
chooses you, to wear a bomb
as I was. Our world,
 
so small and not...

The
percent,
one point three.
Thirteen of each
one thousand famous
musicians will likely
die at age twenty seven.
The, so called, Twenty Seven Club.
A tragic portent for young artists.

The truth is Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison
and Cobain died at twenty seven,
yes,a sad event, but Rick James,
Fogelberg, Roger Miller
and Billy Powell didn't.
They are members...

Don't live or die for a leader
Live or die for a good cause
Don't be mislead by fervor
That instigates the applause

A just world for everyone
Is the politics for me
Where people are all valued
Not by race or by some creed

Don't follow someone blindly
who preaches supremacy.
There is no...

Let's leave this abode and live in tranquility forever.
They fettered our love, strangled it in its cradle and nothing seems better.
O, paramour! Your love is my soulful treasure.
So pure, so refined, so laudable of endless pleasure.
Alas, the enduring love is under pressure.
Oh, permanent dweller in...

In this field a man gave his life,
Not for glory nor country,
but for the safe of his wife.

Now flowers grow where his head lay last,
Doomed to then die when this season has past....

He looked in her eyes.
Pain. Fear. Demise.

All that was there.
Now lost. Forgotten.

Standing tall. Watch her fall.
Standing weak. Watch him sheek.

Speed of light. It moves too fast.
Not one. Not two. But hundreds to a few.

Little shards, needles made of diamonds.
They flow through the air.

Forming a circle.
There...

In Thy Love-Realm I Would Gladly Live And Die

Feeding thy mind soft-sweet words, heart wrapped in pure silk
thou art breathe of morn, treasure of thy mother's milk;
composing within feverish high prancing gleams,
flowing in fantastic velvety seamless seams.

This poet-spirit lives solely within thy grace
its rare gentleness...

She was a Sumptuous Blossom...
That was born out of a Winter's Spring
Her face was framed by Glorious Red
Her eyes were the Bluest Diamonds
That the World had ever seen.

She was born with an innate Attitude
That life was created just for Her
That the Stars and the Moon...

What does it feel like to die?

I see that bird flying there

It feels so free

But birds have hurt and pain too

I forget about other peoples hurt and pain too much

do I think about myself too much?

Is that the essence of my problem?

Am I a coward?

Is...
