Best Strife Poems

Rick was violent and showed no remorse
His alcoholic outbursts lead to their divorce

Wife Sue moves away with Billy their son
Then Billy’s badly injured in a hit and run

Sue contacts Rick, he dashes to the scene
Billy’s hooked up to a life support machine

Parents sit at his...

Thus surprised we should never be that can't end in our hearts the strife!

Within our personal trials we LET
Darkness reside for we are NOT
Perfect by no means in  YOUR
Sight but we will open our HEART
To overcome our burden and BE
Lifted up and no longer TROUBLED


John 14:1

A try at HG and Dane Ann's new form of poetry....

Upon the backdrop of an arid land, scorched by strife and climate, olive trees weep beneath piles of rubble while the innocent souls of Palestine suffer a cruel fate, burdened by unjustifiable collective punishment. They endure the crippling onslaught imposed on them by a powerful...

Living a life in the fall
providing one has gall
proof of no worth at all
handwritten on the wall
proves one is short is all

Precept thus doeth abide
concepts slip and slid
lies thus are hard to hide
precept is eagle’s glide
corpses in dust we hide

Serpents thus do slither 
deeds on...

Pains of emotional life		
			
Life reaps your heart like a knife		
		
Knife dipped in embittered  strife	
		
Strife, a grudging ghost, please have pity

Pity and let me breathe	
				
breathe  an untroubled  life	
			
Life brings out the  cats and rats 	
		
Rats fighting to take your dreams
			
Dreams time of...

I'm really quite fortunate, had a good life
Considered myself blessed, had two sweet wifes
Don't like to brag
But I walk with a swag
Been pretty damn lucky with minimal strife

Broke the Rules...
Left some clues...
I'm a fool...
Living in a cesspool...

I hear the economy is bad...
And getting worse each day...
Although it hasn't affected me in any way..
I can even keep kosher if I choose.
So what do I have to lose ?...
I get three meals a day..
And...

?
When the battle seem lost, and hope not nearby.
I'd remember my mother's voice saying to me
'Omo mi, you sef like your peers will go to school
So you can have a better fighting chance in life. 

Like my peers,
I wasted four years of my adult life...

You are just too young to be my age
every weekend, I rest on the beach
you are still single, I am engaged
if it is otherwise, nature you’ve breached
I have seen it all, I have seen life
from the taste of fruits to the snake’s bite
you still stand...

Both space and time cannot destroy
     us, or force us to shed a tear
against our lives' approaching joy.
     Can these struggles dissolve what's dear
to our joined souls and make us coy
     about a...

Standing in the passageway,
I restrain myself from moving on;
The panting and sweating have opened 
my eyes,
Even before the break of dawn.

Slowly the grayness pushes me
Into the purple haze;
I’ve left the moonlit night behind:
Mind’s all confused—in daze.

I did come to meet my peace here,
And I open...

I lament over the passing of thee  
Privately, not for eyes to see
Shall I write not say a word
This world a cold cruel place.

Your path one of beautiful strife
Many unaware the glory of life
So many quotes they say absurd
This world a cold cruel place.

Loving me includes a two-for-one, challenging package
because I love and care for my grown, special-needs son.
He said his love’s sincerity held my son in its reality.
Loving him revealed my heart’s innate, soulmate measure,
and the tenderness two honed hearts can lovingly render.
Happiness surged and rose through...
