Best Perish Poems

The night is the blackest
and the coldest I've known.
The town, so small
it should not be called a town,
is still with its own malice.
I have grown weary of the city
but still, it is too still.
There is no moon
and there are no stars
and there are no clouds

Perish the thought 
For I can see
The loneliness in me
Silence to my mind 
Has brought
A longing to be free

Free from danger
Free from trust
Free from things I feel

Emancipate my soul
And banish all things real

Perish thoughts that torment me
And grind them down to dust
Redefine my tangled mind
And...

Reading David Rakoff’s book,
In rhyming couplets, really shook
Me way down deep inside my core;
I read and read and wanted more.

A novel all in poetry?
I think he wrote it just for me,
For who could love it more than I?
I’m sure that you can guess the why.

The...

I feel the willows sway in the midst of my  b r o k e n  hearted moments,
I keel over on my pillow with fists clenched, unguarded lost in atonement.

After all was said and done your death threw my heart in the tumbled...

Years have come, years have gone
Many have slept and others, borne.
But Calm and peace is yet to be seen
For the streets are red, and so it has been.

The countryside lies deserted
Barren of animals and people long, departed
From the guns of  destruction and pain
That hitherto,...

Whenever They Perish We Dearly Feel The Loss

With heart of a lion and feet of a gazelle
are all condemning the torturing gates of hell;
faithful followers that carry the Holy Cross,
whenever they perish we dearly feel the loss,
yet within heaven they shall eternally dwell.

Their earthly fears...

??I have conquered every fear and triumphed over terror... ??
?? Angels whispers in my ears chanting Persevere or perish... ??
?? Now I'm starring in the mirror  searching  for my merits ...??
?? I'm content with all my flaws so now I never get embarrassed......

Perish


                   Perish thy will to survive...to stay alive...

Flag waving decency goodbye
Actually not its fault
Being only of cloth
Creased by ones from Hell

Veterans Administration now failing
Allowing returned wounded Heroes to die
Hung out to dry on death sentence waiting list
While President Commander-In-Chief sits idly by

Immorality breaking America's heart
Dragged through unwanted sewers
Guns blamed for violence
Humans using...

The world's perishable
Perishing goods, perishing people, perishing minds,
Perishable people are beings too,
Is it unknown to the perishing World.
Are they rotten, do they smell bad?
Why are they getting shot?..
Why's a heart shooting another heart?
They are introverts, people find it hard approaching them
There she is in the...

I'm hurt screaming and pulling my hair out
Sicken by the drought
Tears of fire
boiling as my blood turns to lava
Preying to Jesus cause only he knows what I'll do
Ran with the wrong crew
If only knew
It'll take a piece of me  with it
A block of my...

Sweet sunrise dances over the horizon and the gentle wind blows
Of summer breeze; weekend  ripples stay at mangrove tree.

We hear and feel swelling waves during high tide
Beneath the nipa hut that seems boating at night.

Our arms feel the warmness, the softness...

King Lear’s Voice
 
Nothing out of nothing
William Shakespeare
A king of true tragedy
No unconditional love.

No never and nothing
Machiavellian
His descent into madness
Dead to Heaven above.
