Best Pitiful Poems

Pitiful illusions


I've had spectral visions, haunt me in my dreams
Spinning my meditations, into nightmarish schemes
My pitiful illusions, scatter in depth of night
Mourning has broken...darkness conquers daylight

I am beautiful, so stop being pitiful, you can't change me, I'm God's creation you see, I may not have the looks in all the pictures I took, but I've got bass that I can't replace. My personality is wild and weird, but I don't...

Pitiful Tears

You went away and left me sweetheart
I know through no choice of your own
I am missing you every day since, my dear
The days are now years that you left me alone

One foot in front of the other
Is how I have coped with passing time
The...

Pistol Pete is Peaceful Peter now,
Married life has altered him, and how.
He used to be a honky tonker
Always spoiling for a fight,
Now he's always home with Mama
And in bed by nine each night.
It was a huge mistake to take that wedding vow.

He had to give...

Stumblin' through the haze
In a dumfounded daze
In a muddled malaise
Like a mouse in a maze

Broke and blase
Stuck in my ways
My libido won't blaze
My mojo betrays

Got a glaze in my gaze
Got nuthin' to praise
Hope it's only a phase
Or just one of those days......

When the spirit of a woman 
who was trying to heal her deep-rooted enmities steps forward with her shoulders twitching overwhelmed with grief, her footmarks are filled with the bitterness of life and that’s why she never wants to look backwards, follows along with a...

Pitiful to See a City Full

Is there a limit to how much you can be gullible
If I were to say to you that I was infallible
Error or mistake for me is impossible to make
After you read this complete a second take.

Supposed I were to grab...

The Pitiful Reality Of Time And Infinite Sorrows

green pastures, dawn's glow
future scenes of lonely night
pale moon, shadows fall

Robert J. Lindley,
haiku, ( Wherein A Battle Rages On )


This very short poem is all that I can muster now of my dedication to my lifelong writings...
Sad....

Whereas once...

Please wait for me to too away my comfort zone
For, you and I have trekked this rocky road for years it seems…
And we did this all on our own, yet we haven’t groaned
We haven’t groaned
No, not once have we groaned
We grew out of that long...

In everything I do, my all is what I give.
So when you hit me hard I wont forgive.
You threaten me with things, when you dont get your way.
I'm actually glad you didnt choose to stay.
Now my dreams and life I can fully live.

You want your...

You dig 
pit 
after 
pit 
after 
pit.
Then wonder why nobody comes around.
The few that tiptoe into your eggshell world  
are only there to use you...

In greener years you were just another cutter
graduating to just another pit digger...

Blood or not, I'll not dance in your...

Let's cry through sad movies
Only to stand stoic when the situation really happens
Let's take glee in seeing a rainbow
Only to complain about the rain that preceded it

Let's get through high school
Only to say life is too hard and quit
And how about we
meet dozens of people
Only...

Spit fire and spin honey,
the target-a wealthy man and his money.

She has no other talent that qualifies,
just the sum of what quantifies.

She's got cause and family ties,
under the guise of friendship and lies.

Depending on time to line her pockets,
she waits like a spider to sign...

Propped open, perched up
Placed in place on your pedestal
Pondering if your position on top is permanent, your premeditated perverse becomes paranoia
Protracting your path of prideful propulsion while we pause, preoccupied by the propaganda polluting our vision  
To the public your punctual, full of purpose
Pitiful,...
