Best Surcease Poems
Athwart Without Surcease — Edzel
Erelong the sphere was contrived,
intrinsically safe with His arms.
Born— soon derived,
and molded from His heart so warm.
Fain to live,
hight to be a no man in an island.
Sith ere He do forgive,
our sins be reprimand.
Teened with so many misdeed,
but He do acquit;
our men of courage didn't hid—
and but those hopeless did quit.
Meseems we're helpless,
souls are senseless;
Those who're lifeless,
can't be pulled out of darkness.
Hush.
The sleek fur of thy skull,
reamed out by duress.
Their zeal hastn't gone dull,
annihilation is devoutness.
Enow with termination,
ere the lands we owe—
lief be covered with wanion,
and eftsoons happiness alow.
Howbeit;
We grasped to fight,
ifsoever dictatorship swith enacted.
Humanity assimilates the light,
cast back not to be affrighted.
Assayed to be free,
thole is to be liberate.
We strife to flee,
‘tis to hearken the accouchement altercate.
The Livewright wanted us to fight aught,
may it be billows.
The end is nigh— we fought,
for we to bide tranquil in meadows.
Alas! Alack!
Beshrewed eftsoons,
ether evanescent.
Thy lay distuned,
and eyne dyed with torment.
Fooled ye’ll,
ill luck usward.
Certes— it rang, the dying bell,
avaunt, avaunt; froward.
Mayhap;
O’, living souls,
thou art the light—
Howbeit; the world was darkened by ghouls,
apparatuses caused blight.
Fatality somewither,
hypermedia is the root;
“We’d not be here forever,
but so my life could reboot.”
When I'm with you the time slips by with ease
This pleasant interlude is most complete
It's break from life's thoughts, dear, without replete
of never ending cares without surcease
Can I not be prince speaking lines that please
and place at feet rich treasure seldom seen
And you'll have ending, my full queen,
of never ending cares without surcease
This promise I do make on bending knees
celestial hosts in heaven know it's true
With me love, you'll have no sorrowing view
of never ending cares without surcease
When I'm with you the time slips by with ease
less never ending cares without surcease
Why, does existing have to be
a visit of time then leaves me.
Threads of my life are still unsaid.
Silently I wipe away tears
of lapsing thoughts, sorrow and fears;
throwing off spider webs of thread.
I stand by the window and gaze
at white ships depart a blue maze
they have sought to borrow ahead.
Everyday another Sunday.
Every day is silent and grey;
prison of aches and pain I dread.
Why, does existing have to be
burdensome. My mortal thoughts flee
like rain drumming at my window,
then trickles releasing a dam
leaving me brittle to exam
my own conscious; what do I know.
Surpassing life hopes as I winch
loneliness devours inch by inch.
My lips quake and swell at my low
detaching my dying cinder.
I can't take another winter
confronted with the ebb and flow,
not being able to foresee
mental skills decline as I grow
old and suppose to comfort me.

She stood, peacefully on the pier.
The sun, over the hill, just rising.
In her thoughts, just wondering .
As she wiped away, a lone tear.
High school was in a few weeks!
Ambivalence filled her young soul!
As a chilly breeze made her cold.
Would her classmates be nice or freaks?
She promised God to do her very best.
The fish in the lake, mulled about in aquatic
beauty, yet made nary a sound.
Looked up at her swimming in circles round,
The girl, mesmerized, by the gentle waves,
knew she was up to all of life's tests!

?
lawn chairs stored away,
bathing suits, no sun will see,
birds’ songs, are no more,
