Best Slip Through The Fingers Poems

Verse 1
I would love to be your comfort
A blanket when you're confused
A bright song on every dark day
Warmth and hope you cannot lose

To be the canopy to cover you
When life’s storms come your way
I can be the one you’ve longed for
'Cause I hear the words...

Our
days on
earth are as
fleeting as a
shadow. Try as we
might to hold onto them
They slip through our fingers like
hourglass sand and we grow old. Our
memories fade, sight grows dim, names and
faces escape our grasp. Every day we
struggle to maintain our dignity. Steps
grow slower, hearts grow weaker...

You fall like a feather to the ground 
I can no longer blame the wind 
For your change in direction
You slip through my fingers
Each time I reach out
The wind takes you
You're willing
You are
Lost...

Youthful days of wine and roses
are illusions, tethered to hope.
For shards of broken promises
oft clip the wings of fledgling hearts.

When trickling tears begin to flow,
they swell the tides of self-pity.
And you entertain multitudes
of disparaging emotions.

Taking a moment, you reflect
upon the innocence of youth.
And the intimate,...

Don't slip through my fingers daughter of mine 
I've quilted the stars of heaven for you
and padded the moon with the gauze of the sun
Don't look back at the web that you have weaved 
only look forward to the disengagement of my freedom 
my Love,...

I fell in love
with her
my freedom
is now constrained...

I am free
but no longer free
as in a dream
I surrender to her captivity..

Our encounter had to be
she has become
the center of my universe
her love is an eternal recurrence...

We are I and thou
I do not desire
to see the death...

My back is against the wall

Your memory lingers amongst the shadows

I want to gather you to me

But like a cool mist on a spring night

Memories of you slip through my fingers


My back is  up against it now

I'm alone and it's meant to be

I made...

Here comes Buck Toothed Chuck 
from Hickville Street,
Sorriest feller you 
ever did meet.
Walkin' his flea bitten dog
down the street,
Scratchin' his head and
flip flopping his feet.
If he asks for money
best say, "No way"!
'Cuz it'll slip through his fingers
in less than a day.
He'll be spittin' tobackee
the whole...

I never told you how I felt,
When I had the chance;
I hid my welled up feelings,
Never gave a second glance;

I stowed away my longing thoughts,
You weren't right for me;
But all I ever wanted,
Was to let you see;

I let slip through my fingers,
My one and lingering...

Here I sit on the beach's grey sand
as the sun begins to set.

Another day is complete...come what may.

The gentle sea breeze kisses my face,
as I pull my blanket around me snugly.
My hair dancing playfully.

I close my eyes and let my mind drift away,
as I hear...

Wine was spilled and dark red marks were left as
I let the glass slip through my fingers and while
Lips were red like petals caressing
I drew closer to hear his heartbeat

The feel of his tender touch teased as
His strong arms entwined me gently like
The tune of...

To know you're destined to write poetry, I think a poet needs to find a meaning to his or her own life in everything they see, read or hear. Be it simply opinion, or great revelation. Since I was around 12, I've loved Kerouac's On...

One by one, the rose petals slip through his fingers
Showering his feet with colour and scent
They make beautiful little spiral dances
As they shimmer and hum towards the earth
But his eyes do not see the beauty in their fall
Nor the trail of scent left behind as...

Mountains of evidence ignored and denied
People on different planets, laws defied
Willing to believe anything they're told
As facts slip through their fingers, unable to hold
The truth harder to believe than lies
Complaints easier than listening to the cries
History forgotten and is left ignored
Blindness in the present is...
