Best Without Sympathy Poems


Heat
Flies, drawn to their only sustenance, cloud around my head.
In this cloudless desert sky  - blank, deep-arching cavern of thought  - 
Unblinking  sun stares down but this fire-bird will not fly,
Has no hope of rain or shade to hide or die. ...

Song of the Sea
Song of the Sea
The giant of Africa the great Nigeria
Land flowing with milk and honey
The garden adorned with gold and pearls
No! The rogues will not cast their spells

The axe in its adventure is capturing and 
falling the trees in this garden
The birds are flying away...

Self Absorbed
this looming life of solitude
left listening to your woes
a dark depressing melody doth it compose
I whisper words that wander wearily
my voice escapes thine ears
solitary without sympathy
dealing in your reprimand 
my voice you hear
my meaning you do not understand...

What Is Life
What is this life when there is no care
What is life when there is no love

Life without sympathy
Vividly filled with hatred

How do we begin to flourish
When our core values are missing

What do we do to be freed from evil
What do we do to regain our...

Coal black eyes glinted
Rage surfacing
Seething, furious
He was like a hard stone
Without sympathy
Or empathy
His lack of compassion
Sent me reeling from him

Fire boiled in his touch
Clutching me roughly
Large hands tangled in tresses
Pulling away wisps, curls
Dark as the night
Fright colored me steely gray
Ashen from the dread
Of this man...

The Way It Should Be
The Way It Should Be


A poor man without knowledge aspires to expand and find what's normal. While the wealthy, corrupt pretenders and their misconceptions of reality will find no true satisfaction, for a soul without sympathy has lost all hope. Void of all compassion is...

Opulent
The chamber once sprawled
without the comfort of softness.
Each step would echo off the
cruel marble without sympathy
for the churn of my blood taunts
as it yearns to fluidly move free.

Ornate tapestries drape with
the audacity of age wrapped
in dust, the grime of centuries
of shed skin from victim and
pillager...

Without hope for the gentler light
That shines across the heart who feels
Abundant grace and inspiration
Joy that fulfills the spirit’s wish

Without the beauty beneath the smile
Encouraging the heart to care
With laughter and joy that does express
All the wonder for the heart to share

Without inspiration that leaves
The...

Loneliness
Companions close maybe,
       Comfort and inspiration give,
      But inner meaning of life cries, 
             Live apart and alone.

Barren Chatter
Cake walks and avalanches dangle inviting
morsels of distress rushing like television
on schedules of mischief with egos aplenty
hauling the barrow without common vigilance 
to dance on the fresh dirt while packing bodies in.

Loose change tumbles from limp palms and interest plans;
crescendos of misery sing in scoundrel...

Without!
Without new beginnings and without ends,
Without patience, I am without a length.
Both without family and without friends.
Without confidence, I am without strength.
With poverty, so therefore without wealth,
Also without sympathy of some sort.
Being with sickness, I am without health.
With so much pain, I am without comfort.
I...

Like time 
Efficency has slipped away secretly
From our bodies
Causing unpredicted destruction
Even the slightest bone
And the smoothest joint
Without sympathy
The joint jelly dries up like a leaf
The strong bone becomes brittle like a twig
Gain in time loss in health
Aging is unquestionable
Like the scientific laws
And so
Make use of...
