Best The Pit Poems

Villanelle: Cowered crushed cramped cold in the pit of our stomachs

Cowered crushed cramped cold in the pit of our stomachs
We drag our ego thrones saddled on stooping lean backs
Fiendish liege Lords’ furnace mouths whiplash at run amoks

None can bear the thought shrunken image left on...

She brushes her fingertips 

down her own skin and dreams of him

rising like a tide inside her,

his tongue between her teeth.

She waits for the stars to fall ripe into her palms,

and for the messiah.

She waits, heart in mouth,

for his breath against her bones....

FROM THE PIT OF HELL
By R. A. Merritt

The KKK has got a new name 
But they don’t wear a robe and hood
They’re alternative right and are often polite 
Like decent people should

Yeah they wear suits and ties
And have wingtips on their feet
And many of them...

Lies from the pit of HELL!

    The Devil is the father of all Lies
He is subtle and devious
He is cruel and merciless
He is daring and bold
He is selfish and cold

He knows what we want to hear
He likes to whisper in our ear
He...

Rib-eye steaks are on the pit
    Seasoned with dad’s rub
    Are you all ready to grub
       Meat will fall off bone
      One bite, it’ll be gone

My words used to be everything there was to me and then they fell into the pit of never
ending.
 I tried my hardest to capture them back but they fell faster and faster. I thought I
might have to except the fact that I have become...

From out of the pit I cried.
Lord help me- you know I’ve tried,
To walk this path from day to day
Doing my best to do it your way.

This journey Lord seems hard and long.
I know I can’t make it on my own.
Lord I’ve tried time after...

I'm plunging into a pit of despair
The burden of despair I cannot bear
I see no light in this bottomless pit
Down I go, nearer to where darkness sits

I am tired of fighting this battle
The fight to live is just unbearable
I'm failing; I'm falling; I'm faltering
God knows...

A feral battle between two starving men
That rages for ages with no knowable end. 

Deep in the pit, exchange blow for blow
No escape, never free, forever held down below.   

Brown bloodied rags hang off their skin
A visceral clash deep, deep therein. 

Deep beetled...

You gripped your hands around my neck.. 
Looked into my eyes with hate and I still love you. 
You proceeded to drag me with no regard for the pain you’d inflict on me 
Right onto the ground, as if I meant nothing to you,
and you...

In the pit of the darkness it's midnight 
Cross horizon lots of new day
Fluorescent wrong casualties of war 
Spun out tires the interstate grows 
Infatuated with the debacry 
Fathom crew it's all that's lost to me it's new
In the pit of the darkness it's midnight

This pit
Is getting deeper every day
There's no way out
I can't get out

This blackness of sadness
Covers me over
Thick like wool
Slick like oil

It slides like a heavy tide
Down my throat
Suffocating my mind
My heart
My soul

This pit 
Is getting darker ever day
I can't see anymore
I'll never see again

These roots...

I'm so sick of this paradigm,
Hating the living,
But afraid to die,
I'm sick of this guarded realm,
If I do what I want to,
I am going to hell.
There is nothing more that I deserve,
Than To get what I want
and abandon the herd,
There is nothing more that I...

God is in His glorious home
where no impurity or sin can dwell
that's where the redeemed shall enter
the wonders no human voice can tell

There they shall worship God alone
focused solely on Jesus God's own son
where angels without number sing praises
to the triune God three in one

The...

The pit

Hello she said 
The pit of my stomach dropped 
An angel spoke 
The butterflies woke 
My mind is blank, thinking of something slick, but mute I become.
Bye she says and walks away 
She leaves a beautiful scent, and leaves a  trail of feathers...
