Best Standstill Poems

Strangely bent this journey extends
Surreal at times, yet so real at ends
Each end confronts with a hardship of choices
With an abrupt passing, or an eternity of voices...

You and I, once on similar trends
Like brothers, we traversed all evil impends
The wheels then turned, unleashed worst of...

all noise comes to a crashing halt
stifled by the sound of silence.
it is not a boom. it is not a bang.
it is a dive downward into nothingness.
the feeling in the pit of your stomach at the fall 
on the edge of a waterslide.

the cars

In a spectre of will
My thoughts stand still

In the cacophony of lies
My eyes were never blind

In the deceit of the living
My ears doubt in believing

In the loss of another
I will never falter

For I think, and I know
For I breathe, and still breathing in tow

For I...

Is at a bloody standstill,
I can no longer think....

sitting in the dark
while a relaxing groove plays

A moment comes,
A life turns,
Like a knife it turns,
So deep to hold
So intense like a smashed cork in the eye
A hit that drains smiles
A feeling of shiver on winter
A time comes that one opts for a rest.
That better could life pile the file
That a nonstop...

creamiest bouquet
white daisies touched by red sun
in aged day's glow

marvelous mauve walls
tell stories of sun's passing
birds whistle blithely

glass lake reveals moon 
that's peeping at the window
raising dark drama

plum shadows, fireflies
pink sun's travels never cease
blue butterflies sleep

The time was standstill somewhere, 
There were only two eyes and two chairs
There was a pulse and two people
For a while, everything was hanging.

And they were neither top nor down; 
The music stream was flowing around-
The sound was moderate and in a tranquil, 
They were...

standstill

the memories of that lover
who was once and foremost my friend
the tears of joy that they to me still send

the journey that they failed to take
all for the price of following their heart, the difference it would have made

we are friends to this day
caught in...

It tears my heart to see where you're heading
I can feel you lying to my face
You're not the same girl I once knew
I don't know how much longer I can stand to be around
I put myself in so much agony as we sit there in...

Have a great birthday, dear Syril, 
The day of judgment is so close; 
Life will be brought to a standstill, 
There will be no more highs and lows. 

Topic: Birthday of Syril Monica DR. Aviles (March 28)...

walking on this pathway
happy to be surrounded by mystery
the birds point me in the right direction
the squirrels assist, but act mischievous as usual
the breeze is welcoming
the skies are perfectly blue
the sun is in a mellow mood
at the end of the pathway is the bluest water...

I do not pick up a canvas because I am bereft.
I am idea-less. My good paintings are done.
Why would I want to waste time on bad paintings?
I have not even liked the last two at all.
They took me over three weeks, and I hate them.

I...

And when you think of forgiveness, let time come to a standstill,
Do not rush to seek foreign faces in the mists of the past,
Think of yourself as a garden waiting to bloom.
Forgive yourself for the dreams that did not take flight under your sky,
For the...

Thinking of you 
The world outside
Waiting for the lockdown 
To be lifted
The lonely moon,
The stars and the clouds
Know my hearts
Yesterday suddenly everything 
Come to a standstill
Less night back man
Less morning jogger
Less cars and pedestrians
Less hustles and bustles
But lights and humps 
Can never block us
Going out...
