Best Powerlessly Poems


One Wish of a Refugee
We were free and safe
Facing the challenges of life
In much more desirable manner
We were at least happy
For the peace we were enjoying
On our land of birth; our homeland
We never anticipated this at all
That war would tear us apart
And leave us miserable this way
We witnessed so...

The Storm (For Laura Mckenzie's Winter Theme Competition
The ghostly sky hangs over the bay
Purple, ominous and looming black
Seagulls screech their advance warning
Of the foreboding storm approaching.
Through the endless rush of water
Swelling, surging and wildly panoramic
The passage of time flows powerlessly.
A rainbow glares from the November sky
At one with winter's warning sounds.
Small fishing...

Mentally Drowning
She cried her heart out in the shower this morning 
Desperate, anguishing tears
Uncontrollable, convulsing sobs

Anxiety within was strangling her
Clenching and crippling
Incarcerating her into a frozen-like state

All the while
No one heard her cries
No one shared her suffering

No one knew how defeated she felt
How crumpled her courage...

Quiet Waters
Streams of blue fluid 
Flows downward 
As fragile carcasses decay 
Without a peep of a sound

We’re in the brink of disaster… 

Who invited such fear and anguish?
Who could lead us to quiet waters?

We bleed…
Polluting the waters below us… 
Trickling down the mountain
To our filthy feet…

Cleansing...

To My Valentine

My heart opened like an opened window
like an opened square quivering treu love
from poor dull stare in blind eyes that care

as my head chearfully, speaking of the word love true fully

Cassandra's Curse
She told no lies, from behind her all- seeing eyes.
Cassandra could not return the love of  Apollo,
 His curse upon her truth belies.
And left her prophesies empty and hollow.

She knew  the destruction of Troy would come.
Her  voice to land on the ears...

In the Shade of Death
My day had been extremely hectic 
Stamina,  I fully consumed along the day
Desperately, into my cold bed, I jumped 
To only find myself into the shade of death 

A deep sleep immediately swooped my soul   
To guide it mercilessly into hallucination 
Where...

You gonna stop staring or not? some thing's gonna be starting or not? 
You stood so close, my eyes did close, i stopped breathing as your warm breath melted me, 
the look in your eyes rested me, 
you stand so tall and your long hands....i...

Meanings
This husband is double-crossing his wife and she is suspicious
That her ‘for better, for worse’ trusted husband is promiscuous
                   
He is called before the gods of verdict...

Chinese Rose
I was taken captive by an amazing Chinese rose
She is very far away, but it seemed close
In the land of fantasy,was born a powerful illusion 
Against a beautiful dream, powerlessly of preclusion...

The Lesson
I. Theory

She is dark and her darkness frightens you. But as closer you come to her, the lighter the darkness becomes. How bright the light were, if a thousand suns would rise in the sky at once, but even such unbearable light powerlessly pales in...

Showering
Droplets delicately adorn the skin
dressing it with diamonds of life.
How you seduce the mind,
your peals pleasingly relaxing the body.
Soothing the soul,
your warmth trails playful affection,
infectiously raising temperatures
whilst refreshing hidden areas,
cleansing parts unseen;
until your passionate embrace is over,
and quietly you renew your natural force.
Waiting, welcoming tired...

I Can'T Help
When you look at me, the way you do,
With a look of raw lust mingles with a glint of hunger,
I cannot help but stare right back into your eyes.
When you touch my skin with yours,
With you soft fine hairs tickling me,
I cannot help but touch...

The Truth of An Angel
An angel passed by me 
                     With a broken smile that I could see,
A tear fell from her eye,
