Best Stife Poems


There's Always a Rainbow After the Storm

When you are going through troubles 
and stife, feeling that life is too tough
and you simply have had enough,
When the stormy winds are rough 
and life is full of pain and 
dispair  
may you always remember there is 
always a rainbow after the storm
with Sunshine to wipe away your
tears of rain
 and tenderly binding
up and healing your many pains.

At times like these, true friends are 
there to support you through
by comforting and caring 
for you. 
Unburden your heavy  heart
sharing with a dear friend
in every part.

Keep your hopes shining as bright and
as Warm as The Suns radient Light
Throwing all your troubles  behind
into the darkness of the night helping
you to rest your weary mind and
 sweet and pleasant sleep you will
surely find.

The Veil

The “Veil”


The birth of a child born with a veil
Told that he would see thing unbeknownst to everyone else
Traveled outside of the only place I’ve ever known
Wow….a world out here,  a world to call my own
Never knew these things would exist
Toils and trouble and an iron fist
Strapped on boots tugged on my chain
What do you know they just call my name
I guess I am somebody, let me through
I want to move to the front now with you

Thought I was rich, with only one hole in my shoe
My brother’s shirt, my father’s rule
Only seven of us kids with two out the door
Now only five of us left, what next…what more
Friday night is coming, and I’m afraid to sleep
Father is drinking, mother in the streets
Screams and shout would pierce my ear
Chains from her beating and the ice pick near

Is this the caul that I’m so blessed to possess?
Is it the rule, does it lead to success
I get through the night and move through the years
I often reflect and often shed tears
Do I share these thoughts or just let it be	
Time waits for no one, neither does the cadre

Now on the front lines fighting this war of hell
Should have seen it coming, for I had the veil
There isn’t anything special about my life so far
Maybe this pen, paper and this memoir
I was expecting something different in this fast paced life
Not to be in this sand, not to see this suffering and stife

I’m really confused now, watch me exhale
No longer the little boy born with the veil.

The Meaning of Friendship

Friends are there to help us our troubles
in life to bare, They are always
there in times of need, to show
their loyalty in word and deed.

Their kind acts and caring 
concern is what makes our
hearts love them and
to be a good friend
in return.

Friends add meaning to
one's life, comforting oneanother
through the Sadness,heartaches
 and stife.

True Companions are both
Precious and rare,
they always show how much 
they care, 
their friendship  is 
always there and will 
blossom and grow as the
years come and go,

A True Friendship will 
never die, if cultivated
will continue to add
beauty to one's life
making it worth living 
and in a friendship the key
is to be freely giving towards
the other and take genuine
interest and concern and
look out for oneanother.

The Shadow I Hide Behind

It may seem like I am always bright and cheery
but there are times when I am sad and weary.

I don't always let that show as I hide behind a closed and locked door 
and rather keep things as happy go - Lucky
It is the way I deal with life instead of staying down to sit
there with a frown I get up and turn it all around with a smile, and
it can change my mood for a good long while.

Then eventually I may sit and cry but soon I get up and smile again
as there is more to life than the hurt and stife, I like to bring a smile
to others as that keeps my sprits up and I can keep a happy outlook
on each new day that  we live and always help to give a smile
to someone's face that brings us joy and is full of grace.

In this case I may not always be bright and cheery but I never
show when I am sad and weary.

My Dear Women

You are a chosen woman,
Made with power, style and grace,
God looks for opportunities to put a smile on your face,
With victory in your veins,
You can conquer and obtain,
When the pressure gets to hot,
Remember Jesus has been in your spot,
You are special and unique,
All you need to do is seek,
His mercy and understanding,
And you’ll see it’s His love that’s handing,
You,   all the strength you need for this life
Don’t fight or seek out any pointless stife
Rejoice in justice and relax in peace
For when it’s over you will feast
On eternal blessings and everlasting love
From the one who lives up above
But also lives amogonst our hearts
Don’t ignore or tear apart
The special gifts inside of you
To his will you must be true
And when the battles overtake
And you feel the earth under you just shake
Know that you are never alone
You’re a special creation being sown
In the Potters hands there can never be a clone
Be the best you that you can be
And watch how your life will be filled with ecstasy
Watch the enemies of your soul permanently flee
As you walk in your full destiny.

Perfect Stranger

How can I describe those days I speak with you?
Vibrant, relaxing like I'm out under the sky so blue..
Talking to you is like a sweet haven to me..
I can somehow show who I wanted to be..

I was a blank face back then remember?
I was who you perceived, I can be whoever..
I am the kid with the hoarse voice at night
Or a person with a darkside by light..

You are one of those few who felt me..
One of the rare ones who truth I see..
Everytime I talk to you I smile
You are worthy of my every little while..

Most of your thoughts and beliefs contradict mine
Considering the argument we go just fine..
I love how you speak up your mind..
I learned a lot from you.. You are so kind..

You told me stories about yourself..
An open book you are on our evening shelf..
It felt like I knew you from a distant life..
I can clearly relate to your trouble and stife..

You are a comfort zone.. My go to person..
When I need a place where I can reason..
You know what to and how to say things..
You make the burden fly like it has wings..

You always tell me I'm not bad..
Even I commit mistakes and make people sad..
You uplift my spirit when I am down..
You tell me all the reasons not to frown..

You're a person full of love..
A beautiful one I'm thankful I had..
A stranger yes you are to me..
A perfect stranger you'll always be..

Premium Member Daniel's Angel

DREAM ON DANIEL

A chronicle of a righteous man of old
Who brought King Darius into the fold;
Understanding writing on the wall
Prophetic interpretation his spiritual call;
Daniel ,a man faithfilled in prayer,caused
Darius to cast him into the lion's lair;
A guardian angel to Daniel was sent,
So trust in God received royal assent;
Dream,words and visions filled Daniel's life
He proclaimed God's truths ,without fear or stife;
A regent of Babylon for its kings
Of Shadrach,Mesha,ch & Abednego, we now sing.

A Place To Hide Away...

I need a place to hide away 
That i can go whether night or day
to lie and dream of you and i 
In a world where dreams and hopes dont die
Far away from the greed and wrath
Sloth, envy and pride link to one path
All on this path travel in dark 
Money and wealth will give them no spark
Along their path comes stife and pain
Quick, easy pleasures consumed in vain

I think of the future that they pursue
                 and my own future i seriously review

I decide i want to be an exception

As this dark path does not suit my perception.

Yes, lying here has been quite a refreshment

It is now easier to suffer torment

Knowing soon i shall drift and leave them behind

New friends, new cultures, new people i will find

Feeling rejuvenated i proceed to open my eyes
                   Life will not have structure, but adventures ready to arise

Hole In My Soul

theres a hole in my soul
feel numb and cold
damn am i going insane
there is  only rage and pain
maybe i'm not to understand
cause i'm only just a man
mixed thoughts, insecurities
this what becomes me
try an try to explain
my thoughts and words just go in vain
no one believes in me no one will understand
just do what i do if i can i can
always was told we aint worried bout you
knew i would find a way to get through
so many struggles trouble and strife
make me just want just end my life
surprised, even the strong get weak too
imagine if thats what i wanted to do
who would miss me whom would care
go around every day like i'm not there
just wanna be free no more pain for you or me
everything i've done would be gone
if you love me give a chance to speak
cant keep holdin it in rage begins to seep
sometimes cant explain what i did stuff for
mind always going feel like a mental whore
feel like i'm trapped in my mind
feel like i'm lost stuck and behind
stop running a long time ago trouble follows whever i go
everything i touch turns to crap
people you love seem to get out the trap
lost and turned out sream at the sky i always shout
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!!!!!!!
HOW MUCH MORE DO I GOTTA GO THRU!!!!!!!!
CANT YOU SEE MY PAIN MY MISERY
or are you just laughing at me
there is a hole in my soul that just wont heal
too much to handle dont know whats real
cant take back anything i've said
writings on the wall an its all red
God dont let my seed be like me
messed up and lost for all eternity
No one can look in my eyes an really see
the pain just consumes me
tell you i'm ok but i'm really not
stay to myself continue to just rot
where is the place where i can be free
not a place but inside me
so filled with stife and agony
nothing seems to matter or get to me
but it does you see
not gonna burden not one soul
just lost an hurt with this hole.........................

Slits In the Night

As I sit in my room,
Through the morbid like gloom,
I think of a way,
To finish the day...
If I slit on my wrist or leg,
My friends will only plead and beg,
For me to stop my evil ways,
And make me to live another day...
Only through my days at home,
I feel like I am all alone,
Even through the pain and stife,
I make it through another night...
As I sit in my room,
Through the morbid like gloom,
I slit my wrist as though in fright,
That I might live another night...

Why Me

How many times do you ask "why me"
Throughout your daily life?
How many times have you been blind and couldn't see
The happy times instead of stife?

I know those times are very rare
When your life is going well
There are those times when you really care
And you picked yourself up when you fell

Its been so hard to do sometimes
But you did it anyway
You put away those awful crimes
That had you going astray

Your proud to be who you are
And you've changed your ways for the good
Don't turn back now you've come this far
Hang on to it if you could

So keep on keeping on for you
And don't ask "why me" anymore
Forget the things that make you blue
And let others have that chore

Because life is too short to never reach
Beyond the weariness
Be loving, be kind and try to teach
Beyond the dreariness

Premium Member Bull Monster Filters Out Nightmares

bull monster slumbers on the soft cloud of life
without stress or concerns, with no kind of stife.
his mama gave him the assignment all bull monsters want.
he rolls in his dreams, and his lips give a grunt.

does bull monster ever come down here? Asked my boy.
no, he stays there to guide us, giving us gulps of great joy.
he dreams our dreams first, filtering all of the nasties out.
bull monster wants us to sleep soundly, not nightmare about.

Iraq

there are soldiers in the war
please let this be no more
just let them use the phone 
so that they can all go home
inocent live are being taken
i think we all must awaken

because they're putting up with our stife

Healed

There was a time in my life
Filled with hate, filled with stife
Felt the weight of the world, let it break my back
So I went on the attack, venomous words with no tact
I would simply react with no thought but my own
A heart turned to stone, I wailed and I moaned
Feeling oh so alone, it was me against them
My cup runneth over, hot hate to the brim
A house of hurt is no home for a soul
I dug a grave but didn't even fit in the hole

So now at this time in my life
I'm blessed with my kids, blessed with a wife
I see the world as a whole, i'm glad to be back
Running a new course. a positive track
My words I use, think through twice, maybe thrice
I try to be nice, and hope to entice
Others to do the same, this life is a gift
Too short for anger and blame, rise and uplift

The Mayor

The mayor wakes us up at six
to tell us we're to noise
What garbage trucks and City Shmucks
are paid to be as toys

To keep us all from sleeping well
and get us angry for it
And make our neighbor think it's Hell
and swear at us just for it

To tell us all we don't deserve
the better part of life
When silence lets us sleep in peace
and mayors know to stife
