Best Wept Poems

She wept as they buried her one true love.
Each day thereafter she brought him a rose,
the flower she knew he was fondest of.
Her grief unbearable, beyond repose.
What pain and suffering his death bestows.

Nothing prevented her daily visit.
She didn't want him to feel all alone.
When beside...

The day you died you took me with you,
The way you lied shook me black and blue.

The sorrow you felt, I sure felt it too,
The tomorrow dreams won’t come true.

All the good hello's turned into dying goodbye's,
All the to’s and fro’s burned holes in my...

In camps, they’d slaved and starved; cold nights, they’d slept -

Each woman, man, and little girl and boy.

Relentless horror had around them crept.

In camps, they’d slaved and starved; cold nights, they’d slept

Until one day, even the angels wept!

For freedom’s win, the world cried tears of...

she roams cross the land her heart so bitter blue
leaving behind frosty morning dew
icy veil sadly unkept
laden woe upswept
she speechless
wept
left dreamless
numb regret windswept
no kind soul to intercept
cold bemoaning howling winds a clue
she roams cross the land her heart so bitter blue

The Black Hills wept for Thee

East of the Black Hills of South Dakota, 
On the Pine Ridge Reservation,
Live a proud tribe of Oglala Lakota, 
Part of the Great Sioux Nation.

On saddled chargers rode half the Regiment,
of the Seventh Cavalry.
A tune they played on behalf of...

'Tis now known why the Willow weeps, 
a tragedy of love, its memory keeps.
For once a young man and young maid, 
on tender grass, beneath branches lay.
Though pledged by birth to another, 
from clans they hid, to be together.
Thus, the gentle Willow was their choice,...

In chains, did he complain —
this man of sorrows?
He wore his stripes well.
Freedom for all! Freedom for all!

Follow the cross, the bleeding tree.
This holy man, he wept for you and me.

Encircled by snarling beasts —
they mock and strike
like venomous serpents.
Can you hear the cruel heartbeat
of...

So sure of love and all that it can be
This kiss to celebrate the moment met 
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree

There all the world if only eyes could see
Was placed there at their feet without regret
So sure of love and all that...

The darkest clouds ever 
... overshadowing sight never before seen
Ominous high noon weather
shuddered the souls witnessing
		the 
	      death 
		 of 
     the King of kings
It was a festive occasion for the wicked
that Son-less day — 
a...

Sam dated Sandy, things were fine and dandy
Born into middle class means, they were killing that high school scene
One afternoon in Sandy’s bedroom their play went all the way
And the Angels wept that day

Sandy felt that they would marry, though Sam soon had his eye...

A bitter cold bites amongst the sky. 
A loveless void, emptying a heart so true. 
A patience begins to wilt and die. 
A stark black fills what once was blue. 
I’d like to know everything,
I’d like to know the truth. 
Why don’t the wilds sing,
Spilling...

Many years ago my
dear mother left me
and went to be with
Jesus.

My heart wept for her,
that sad day in June,
my life was not the
same anymore.

As anyone who
has ever lost someone
close to them knows
the feeling.

Mother was the
comfort of my
heart everyday
of my life.

She taught me
about God and
how to...

Even the Angels wept




As I walked amidst stars 
to find my glitter fade into their twinkle,
With my dears I was at war
loneliness reflected in my wrinkles,
Few smiles in darkness if life could sprinkle ..

Heyday of life and many promises unkept,
To knocks of heaven, even the...

One more day I slept serene,
while some where distant bombs
and screams awaken others from their dreams..
One more day I quenched my thirst
while others trapped and feared the worst,
living out war's curse.
One more day I tidied, swept, while elsewhere
children died, mothers wept,
cried in anguish, so bereft..
One...
