Best Saddness Poems


From My Diary Combination of Happiness and Saddness
The year of my parents dreadful divorce
Lived with Mom and Aunt in another state
Changes came coupled with countless remorse
Feelings you just couldn't anticipate

On farm of two hundred green acres
Included barn, bats and dog named Happy
Bare back horse riding was there for takers
Maple trees juicy, tastefully...

Saddness In the Sky
Saddness in the sky ,
brings tears to my eyes 
as the wind blows,
I know that Ahayias Cup Runneth Over.

The clouds are gray,
full from the burdens of a day.
While tears from the Earth
reach his heart.

Sometimes winds blow hard,
and trees sway from side to side,
as they assure...

Saddness
I've fallen apart inside
          My saddness is hard to hide, 
        I got an overwhelming headache
      from my devestating heartbreak

Absorb Happiness and Reject Saddness
"love the one who loves 'U';
 ignore the one who ignores 'U';
 spread the happiness around 'U';
 leave the sadness behind 'U';
 keep a smile always on 'U';
follow your heart to find a right way for 'U' "....

Saddness 2
I didnt know I needed you.
Or that this feeling existed.
I didn’t know I was only part of a person,
Do you feel it, too?
Your heart looks like heaven,
I think.
But, theres something about you,
Isn't there?
I’m pushing at an invisible door,
My bleeding lungs pleading
To let me breathe you...

He Is Dead
Hear them pray for the last time,
their leather boots no protection still.
Listen to the church bell chime.
Hear the men ordering to kill.

Turn off the radio.
Stop the birds sing.
Let her know what she already owe.
Let the soldiers have that final drink.

Tell them that all’s fair in...

The Hate Machine
The Hate Machine

The tail of a bird the bone of a man;
Warm red Blood upon the sand.
A hooded figure, a Nazi Cross.
Was there ever a man who could count the cost.
Of the Hate Machine.

A starving refugee, a child in pain.
A soldier dead in the driving...

The Thief
The Thief

He did so much to make me love him.
Wildflowers on a summer's day;
A lone carnation after dinner.
A kiss beneath the midnight moon.

Oh yes, he did so much;
Crime was stacked, on top of atrocity.
A walk in the gentle rain,
A stroll in the forest.

He worked so...

A Place At the Table
A Place At The Table

A place at the table,
Empty for years.
The echo of laughter,
My face wet with tears.

Life full of heartache,
Two empty chairs.
The questions in darkness, 
The unanswered prayers.

Two little Babies
Who never have cried.
Why did God take you?
Why have you died.

Who were you darlings?
Who might...

Monster In Your Pocket
When we first met you carried him in your pocket,
Strange ugly little thing, tied to a string.
I thought it odd that you would carry such a pet,
Yet who was I to say what you could do?

Later he grew larger and you put him in a...

Friendship
Because of Friendship

Because she was my friend
I called her every afternoon.
To talk girl talk and ask her,
To help me with my studies.

I wrote her often when she went away,
And begged her to think before she married,
I didn't want to see her hurt.
Because she was my...

the kintsugi night
Have you seen how nights are?
Sometimes glowy but sometimes dull and dark
Doesn’t always show us the stars
Because she preferred self sabotage 

Scars of being replaced by the morning
Scars of not shining as bright as she could
 Scars of not being appreciated for trying
 Scars that...

Alone
The night has become my dearest friend
I can hide from prying eyes and loud rough knocks on my door
i need no excuse to lie down as I pull my phone up close and put it on busy
No explanation needed as i say my message on...

Empathy For the Helpless
So many hurting people, 
Wounded with old hurts and new. 
Blood long dried but never tended, 
What oh what are we to do?

So many displaced people,
Searching, seeking to belong.
Wet tears in solitary darkness.
Hear their melancholy song.

Christ can heal the broken hearted
He loves the sinner oh...
