Best The Ashes Poems

Against The Ashes of The Fire

Thine eyes wrapped in chestnut leaves, brittle bark, red berries, and skeletal branches

Thy skies once azure with an aura of clouds drifting lazily over fall-kissed 

Grass. The tears you weep you do so in mist, while your white pumpkin skin

Begins...

I sleep.
Enfolded in peace.
The agony and pain
Disappear:
The burning, the sorrow, the flame
Enfolded in peace.

I wake.
Entranced by life.
Remembering fire
Inside;
Death before sleep, and now
Entranced by life. 

I rise.
Enraptured by flight.
The strength within
Burning. 
Spreading my wings, I soar
Enraptured by flight....

sad song emerges
heartache's beautiful phoenix
pain fuels creation...

RISING FROM THE ASHES

Wordancer


The eyes of the dragon seen through the trees
Mesmerize minds and cause bodies to freeze.
Which way to go, which way to turn;
No time for questions when the trees burn.

Just jump in the cars and flee towards town
But the road is cut off...

How emboldened the man who speaks of love
Fanning the ashes lying cold and dark
Arousing the flesh, exciting the heart
Elusive emotion dreams are made of
Lethargic mind, not controlling the tongue
Which utters the word and ignites a spark
Self inflicting such pain n'er to depart
Then curses the powers...

"we fall that we may rise
amazed at our fortitude
our resolve does surprise 
of never say die attitude"

The ravages of war came to Everytown.
The bombs were dropped, and the buildings came down.
Who started the war?  What was the reason?
All of this destruction came during the Christmas season.
There were countless numbers of the deceased.
The wandering sickness killed after the fighting ceased.
Several decades...

I'm sitting here in this room
these four walls are closing in.
All i do is sit and think
about the things that might have been.
What could I've done,
what should I've done
to change the ending to this story?
what could i do,
what i should do
so this pain does not...

The wear and tear of my past experience
has ravaged my spirit, body and soul
Now my life is a mere shallow existence
with a deep longing to be made whole

I was caught in the beauty of your charm
and savouring its full pleasure was my goal
Now I experience...

There is silence in this grief
There is friction in the heart
There's a mountain filled with sorrows
That tears the joys apart.

On this woesome road of life
Kissed by the fumes of pain
When not a shed or an open cover
To shelter from the rain.

But beyond a moment of...

Seemingly lost in 
a desert
             we're on a path
which seems hopeless
       Let the city be 
remembered

There’s a Child in every Woman that emerges now and then
Together they reverse Time from Now to Way Back When
The Child and Woman search for the Child’s place in Time
When the Child not yet a Woman lived a life that didn’t rhyme
Childhood barely started, cruelly...

this sunday morning,
there were lesser chirps,
faded rays
and muffled words. 

the refrigerator still reads,
"happy anniversary",
with a photograph of us. 
the same date,
the same face,
the same love,
but a different year. 

there were music bands,
there were long drives
to abandoned lands. 
the kitchen fights,
the second pizza bites,
the mended heart
and...

Like a phoenix out of the ashes,
  hope stirs in the remnants of
    my bruised and burned heart,
Rising from the ruins,
  to face a new day,
    a new promise,
Growing stronger by the day,
  until it is...
