Best Wear Down Poems


Box of Smiles
I bought a box of smiles
Now I'm in a perdicament
Since there's only a few
How do I best use them

Do I pull out a smile when I see a child
Or wait for a funny situation 
Do I cut one in half to add to a nervous...

Devil's, Demon's and Addiction
Many of us wonder if the Devil does truly exist? 
Lurking in the dark night or hiding out in the mist?
Well, I believe he does and breaking us is one of his goals.
So he releases his demons and they attach to our souls.

They whisper dark...

Premium Member In the Groove
Into the groove of unthinking action,
file after file of manikins pack in --
beings above see the circular groove
peopled with puppets, all on the move.
Deeper yet they wear the groove down;
manikins' footfalls forever resound.
Of "outside", they now all think no more,
their eyes forever fixed on the...

She A Princess God Hath Made

As I trekked one lonely night,
walking those country roads,
glowing full moon in my sight,
roaring of the croaking toads

Across the lake flowers grew,
meadow set in sweet refrain,
sweet scent so ripe and true,
I desire it again and again

Life's sacred treasure came,
a vision...

Hi there everybody. It looks like I'm back.
Let's see for how long according to track.
Every now and then with all that I do,
Seems I just plain wear down and I have to renew;

Recharge my battery, kick back, take a rest,
With my job and my housework...

English Prance
A wear down-

singular slalom in the emotional vortex-

the realism of a realm that doesn't adhere to your biology and doesn't accept the facts at hand,

one does not alter it,

unless screaming for more sanity to arrive-

though we are not sane beings at core,
we had to dig...

Premium Member Yang and Yin
I searched the top and bottom of my mind
Who is the most famous couple of them all
I sat by the fire close to Yang
He asked me if I knew his lover Yin
He held the fire and light within his hands
Only her water could quench the...

I’m very pleased to introduce to you
something once a toy made completely new.

All you need are two good legs and balance! But it’s not a bike.
It’s as healthy as biking, so cyclists, take a hike!

It’s much more fun for everyone to JUMP their way
to where...

Premium Member Resistance
Resistance is futile
I heard it once said
Everything that is living
one day will be dead

It may seem depressing 
Yet that isn’t true
Resistance will meet you
in everything you do

Music is one example
notes played fast or slow
Vibrational expressions
strings resisting a bow

Resistance in your life
can cause your spirit to...

We are in Day One of the occupation, having survived the first night; however, in a surprise attack, they employed biological warfare and the defenses are at reduced fighting capacity. Pray for clear skies so we can we wear down their assault capability outside this...

The Cage
Slowly
 Very slowly
 Fall a white feather
Against the weight of earth
 On the  ground covered in dirt 
It lands there 
To be seen 
By the blue eyes 
To be hold 
By a bare hand .

Who to blame? 
Between the steels of confinement 
There is...

Persistant Prelude
An island, desolate, alone
floting in a patch 
of clouds

You, stranded, alone
standing at the brink
of that island

A path
a molten path of gold
emerges

you're there 
at the end of every end
the beginning of
every falsehood

No lies to blindfold
No hatred to grope
the thread that started
from you

Always tread
that golden stepm
the last...

In the Void
No voice is whispered in the void
Explosions inside the nest of stars
Ignite into the operas of the galaxies 
Noiseless vacancies full of mysteries
Evolve, remain as vacuous as they are

Space, bridled by the fire balls of debris
To be explored once in the field of vision
That seem...

A Born Grievance
A grievance is born the year after an abandonment of all he knew and loved. The deep secrets from within tore through him like a sword. Darkness took form, while sunlight just shied away day after day.  So many cold days full of lost....

Blame
I can't say goodbye
I won't even try
If I just had another hour
to put all my hope
All my trust
into someone that is 
no longer you
Eventually, I know I'll forgive
I can never forget
time doesn't dull the pain
it doesn't wear down regret
It is so hard to not place...
