Best Revert Poems


Revert

Beneath fluorescent lights, you seem aglow
with color such a light will oft negate;
and though it causes beauty much debate,
it does, for you, most radiantly show
the lines from which the thoughtful movements flow
(though often unrefined); your quickened gait
ignites passion’s refusal to abate
in searching, pleading for the chance to know.

I'll never own the heart suspended here
between potential future’s timid gaze
and constancy you’re claiming to require…
for all I need, it seems, is to be near
enough to see you through fluorescent haze
and try in vain to mitigate desire.

Stop producing plastics, revert
to glass it worked in the past! 
For liquids, glass, remember

The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God

There was a phase when I was lost 
A time when I was void of thought 
I stood still and started to walk 
With every step I leaned down 
Every second, I found myself in a let down
With each breath i lost a crown 

In my path I found a glass 
I picked it up and saw my past 
It was an abyss
The place I lived 
I closed my eyes, i wished to die 
I approached my death with a smiling face
More like a hollow laugh with a borrowed face 

A last sorryy
and I started to fall 
A light emerged from up above 
A hand was passed to the man never heard 
A grace was passed to the man on the deservings last 
His heart redeemed through shadows of the past 

Sins erased 
Mistakes embraced 
And he was given a whole new place 
To live
To shine 
To make his life right
To become the loyal servant of might
He is a believer 
He is now The wanderer's retriever

Drowner

In the tide's peril, through dusky snare
I fall low, i submerged slow, and when they call me, i drift below 
I am lost, I am alone
I am but a shadowed self of my own 
Striding, fleeing and now I'm drowning 

Deeper and deeper, i reached randevou's crown 
I reach, but nothing holds me near
Echoes vane, no voices here 
I found none to whom I'm dear 

Walking on the path of sand,
Down and drown, but can't stand,
In the deep abyss i found a man
Swirling like bay, warmer than may
He stretched his arm, he found me astray
He found me lost and taught me to pray 

I sailed above, hiking through love 
Now canva's lightning, darkness is bluing 
I see the sky, i found the migh
Now no dusk can keep me by 
I found the migh
With his power, now I stand still
I stand by
