Best Moan Poems

She wept as they buried her one true love.
Each day thereafter she brought him a rose,
the flower she knew he was fondest of.
Her grief unbearable, beyond repose.
What pain and suffering his death bestows.

Nothing prevented her daily visit.
She didn't want him to feel all alone.
When beside...

the day we wed
a tear I shed
and said "love you"
with love true blue

I had my life
to be your wife
we had such joy
when we heard boy

a boy in me
we would soon see
god had a plan
for our boy stan

born dead and still
it was god's will
we heard those...

I
As some on God's good Earth
Arise at a new dawn, I'm grateful
Even to talk with friends I haven't met
Joe called them "myself," & on the internet

I say God Morning, for so many reasons
One: God adds another 'o' to make GOOD
I say Our Father (Holy is...

Disembodied howls
Tunneling through the black night
My soul begs to rest

Watching the sequence of sound coming out of your mouth...
But the screaming is too loud.
I can speak,
But my brain doesn't want to.

I closed the door.
Silence called for me.
Should I cry or should I run after her?

What have I done to you?
but love you uncontrollably.

Shes then...

We went on a day trip to Gozo
Just one look at her and I thought ‘oh no’

Her hubby was so meek and mild
She talked to him just like a child

She whined when she got on the bus
This was wrong, that was wrong – what a...

Take me back
My soul's time has come
Take me back
Youth I long
My old soul is close to death
Scared now-take me back

Old age hasn't turned out the way I imagined
Thought I'd be surrounded by young fillies, what happened?
In the old folks home
They just babble and moan
Instead of “ride 'em cowboy” methinks they've come unfastened...

Butterflies 


I sent her an email with butterflies attached, I was hoping she'd open it, her heart would I snatch. 
It was ten past four when she read it-after quite a very long day. 
They flew out at once with one click of that mouse,...

aah…
you say
a tensed note  
almost unheard
but in that one moan
time comes to a standstill
for rapture forgets the past
needs no future to give it hope
it simply is, expands, fills, abducts
takes us to an edgeless place and beyond...

In Gory Red Haze, Brave Men Weep And Moan

Blast your trumpets, on blood soaked ground!
     In that red haze, brave men weep and moan,
     Yet, brutal war echoes pain in every sound.
Down lay spirits of mortal men...

MOAN VOYAGE

I see a great deal of people who smile
And say things such as “I’m going away for awhile”
Hell, I find these people vile

Now why would I use such a nasty word such as vile?
Perhaps because, as well, I am revolted by their style
I’ll give...

A slight moan
Turns into a wail
That lets out into a scream
The scream seems endless
As does the pain
Unbearable agony
That you must live
The tears are streaming
Down your battered face
You taste blood in your mouth
It blocks your throat
You choke
It's over............

You are gagged and bound, seated
In a hot seat among the hard of hearing
Harrowing tales from the trenches
At the deep end of a ravenous beast
A narrowing outlook, hope fading
Shape shifting fiends on the cliffs of sleep
Captured drifts shaping up to squeeze
Harassed by the wail of...

This bed’s supporting limbs
			do not sleep like the log
			they were cut from.
			Dreaming of that splintering
			they mourn when I move,
			remembering leaves 
			and caressing breeze.
			Now down for the count
			and holding a heaviness
			of flesh and bone,
			they can only moan....
