Best Writings On The Wall Poems


Percivals Promise!

The soul is but a vast ocean of vigilance

Streaming with incresent colours towards life

Infinite within its parhelion possibilities

Relentlessly searching, betwixt the everflowing tides

Whereupon all things approach these providential probabilities

Of endlessly prolific visions thus beheld

Within the grasp of pristine pictures brushed and painted

Afore the overtures tubular bells; now sounding

Strewn, beneath the curatives silverish moon

Sirventes tunes, born, within fascinations bloom

These meant to be rhymes, amid Dorothy Gales times

Over somewheres prized amphoric rainbow

Arched imaginations, of fantasias floriferous creations

Breathing their pollinating light, within every breath that they breathe

Escaping the carcinogen caverns through torchbeared passages

Beyond the flesh rent falls and encumbering shawls

Carved crude, these animus meshed jackets

Encased within the chamber once laced

Unto broken bricks of concretes chained

Like Percivals plight....

Unmentioned between the lores, this wondering upon metaphoric shores

While barricaded by the calibrated stone engraved

Until antinomy could devise no more; yet

"If all we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream?"

Scream, and shatter these williwaws window panes

Awakening, beyond their oblique orbs of obscurities, void

To find 'The Holy Grail,' amid incarnadines blinding night

This veil removed, as clarity becomes now focused

Stepping from the shadows of the corners once webbed

Crossing, these sunsoaked sands of sunrises preached

With reaching hands, to touch the braille upon windings trails

Which only led back to the same gruesome pangs

Of a souls once upon a times, bound in maimed

Reading the writings on the wall, as cascading waters broke

The pinnacle of lost, tumbling and crashing to the reef

Belief, of a life breaking free from the dampened day

When faith became submerged beneath the assailant currents of

Hopes castaway possibilities....

Branded into their eyes, by the father of disguise

But no more as the clock struck three, and inversion, began to flee

Awakening from a dream, where nothing, was what it seemed

Dorothy Gales amphoric rainbow, draped upon a cross ~

Percivals Promise!?

The Forgotten

lonely shadows fly like phantoms
sodium arc lights sickly yellow
the pallor of puss; an old mans bellow
the young rages for parents they never had them
the quiet cold of ebony rain
sepia toned photo seeking remembrance
young old women with too much experience
raspberry lip gloss she's homeless but vain
tenement skyline
lighthouse for the lost
children at sea
drowning in a ocean of humanity disdained
the writings on the wall
dope fiends in the hall
penitentiary collect calls
to grandma who accepts them all
mournfully I hear Marvin Gaye
"brother, brother, brother there are far too many of you dying"
lying in bed silently crying
"we got to find a better way here today"

At the Edge of the Cliff

They have told us the consequences of our actions,
We have been told about the trailing reactions,
We turned deaf ears,
Our insatiable desires have ruled us,
Our voracious longings have
 chauffeured us to plunder her home,
We take more than she can give,
We take and leave little,
We rely on the law of replenishment,
Inadvertently bringing to bear our punishment,
We decimate her home,
Leaving her frail and bare, 
She cries out for help,
She tells us to read the writings on the wall,
She tells us to ponder on the meaning of the words,
She tells us to consider the impending troubles,
That gloom will bring,
We say we don’t mind taking the fall,
For there'll be a season of rejuvenation,
Her hands will bear us before we stumble,
Oblivious to the fact that we have weakened her hands,
We stand at the edge of the cliff.

A Heart Knows

I’ve asked myself this question
Now for thirty years
If the writings on the wall
Why isn’t it more clear

How’s a man supposed to go on
Always asking why
What’s meant to be always seems
To somehow pass him by

Cause a heart knows
Where it’s soul
Was always meant to be
And this heart knows
Just where it’s
Supposed to be 

Every breath we breathe apart
Is one less that we’ll share
Every feeling that goes unsaid
Leads to pain and despair 

We keep playing hide and seek 
From the fantasy 
That’s bound our souls from the very start
This wanting you is easy it’s the distance
That’s tearing me apart

Cause a heart knows
Where it’s soul
Was always meant to be
And this heart knows
Just where it’s
Supposed to be 

Yes this heart knows just where it’s 
Supposed to be...

Writings On My Wall

The writings on my wall

Will yield to your downfall

The physical writings on my wall

You removed without my permission

The writings on my wall

Made you mad because you know

I had way more than you had

The writings on the way

Were suspended in the air

The writings on the wall

Showed yourself and the world

That you were unjust and unfair

The writings on my wall

Proved that I actually belonged there

And you did not.

The writings on my wall

Showed that I gave my all

The writings on my wall

Is pure predicition and pure prophesy

That this is end for you

And the just the beginning for me

Yes indeed dude you are crude and rude

And have an awful attiude

The writings on my wall

Is pure truth and that you

Were afraid to give credit

Where credit is due.

The writings on my wall

Marks the fall of the beast

And that boisterous beast

Is no one but you.

Writings on my wall

Fall

Fall

Fall from grace

Because before all mankind

You are the ultimate disgrace.

Writings on my wall

You read them

And you recieve nothing but

Hell from them from this day forward

Writings on my wall

Is the goal that you should look toward.

The writings on my wall

Will yield this product from

You which is fall beast fall.

The Writings On the Walls

Sketches of coal, burning pitch black 
enigmas emanate from each mark; 
Foll’wing trails on, getting back on track, 
laid and torn ‘part, lone in the dark. 

Graffiti of different crime, 
something that you cannot define. 
Each occurrence does not, at all, rhyme 
like the foul curse which to you binds, 

another day, another night, 
all endless to a silent whisper 
and a muted scream taking a bite 
little by little, it's getting closer.

In the last hour, desperation, 
do you dare speak of the impossible, 
pouring out what’s based on emotion 
within the writings on the wall?

Premium Member No Where Left To Run

There's no where left to run
and no where left to hide
The enemy is at he door
And the walls are closeing in 
I'm trapped  and  terrified
I gasp and heath I'm suiffocating
and cannot breath
The writings on the wall
I'm naked and feeling so small
I'm at a loss
as what to do haven't a clue no more
I may have won many battles
But I've yet
to win the war.

Writing

They're never with the perfume, but where the winds need change.
They're the first ones past the body that lays face down in the drains.
The words they seek come to them from the tears that fall for naught.
They don't need a crystal ball for their pictures always bought
in the teeming slums and cities, where money turns it's face
if the misery comes too close, then money finds another place.
If the crying gets too loud then the deaf will rule them all.
The only time we hear their message if it's written on the wall.

The prophets they are poor, that's why they see it all.
That's why we read it all in their writings on the wall.

Behind the fortress lives the power, controlling what life should expect.
Elected by the mercenary gun that demands complete respect.
Opponents stand up to be counted in sights of the rifle bore.
If you speak the message, then you'll be hunted for.
The prophet he knows better than to stand there in the forward.
He believes he can do better with the pen than with the sword.
So when there's blood stained victims, comes the cameras for T.V.'s.
Sometimes he'll read his message on the television screens.

Freedoms always been the dream of every man.
Sometimes his only freedom is the words he's written down.
The prophets they are poor, that's why they see it all.
That's why we read it all in their writings on the wall.

The prophets they are poor, that's why they see it all.
That's why we read it all in their writings on the wall.

I Hate You

I hate you for making me fall
And then leaving me to break.
I hate you because I couldn't see
The writings on the wall,
You were destined to leave.
I hate you for having that smile,
I hate you for being that guy
That makes me feel so alive
Yet hangs me out to dry.
I hate how you used to look at me
With your incredible eyes.
I hate... I hate myself...
I hate myself for falling,
Now I'm still breaking.

Premium Member Writings On the Wall

In the land where pyramids rise
   An ancient language grew
 Pictures were words in disguise
   No letters for a clue
 These picture and symbols were known as hieroglyphs
  They were written on the walls 
 And it took quite a while 
   To decode these ancient scrawls

 When hieroglyphs meet holograms
  It's an illusion you will see
  They will seem to float in the air
   And it's an image in 3D
  Holograms can be computer generated
  To show any scene you please
   Even scenes that don't exist
 Can be created with these

The Writings On the Wall

Oh! Do see and behold
Of  mother and womb
The writings on the wall 
Crouching about the world so high
Their presence you can't deny
Hallelujah,  
         hallelujah,  
                   hallelujah...     
                                           Hallelujah 

Is Your faith  draining now?
As doubt begins to wain
The writings on the wall
Lovingly, you carass his hand
And usher him into silence 
Hallelujah,  
         hallelujah,  
                   hallelujah...     
                                          Hallelujah 

Many hands, worthless maids
Greater casualties of war
The writings on the wall
Life begins to fade, oh dear child of God  
your eyes have lost their light
Hallelujah,  
         hallelujah,  
                   my hallelujah...     
                                                 Hallelujah  

Angst of shallow ,lonely breathes
Tears that scar my hide
The writings on the wall 
Candle-slacken voice, light has faded
My hallelujah, 
              hallelujah,    
                        my hallelujah, 
                                                     Hallelujah 

The writings on the wall
Poverty of war, cost was my one inheritance 
Searing, blisters of pain
Hallelujah 
Emptied-out in a crowd
Chanters of my dispair
My hallelujah, 
                my hallelujah,  
                               oh hallelujah,  
                                              my hallelujah 

                                 Oh Hallelujah! 
                      Oh Hallelujah! 
           Oh Hallelujah! 
Oh Hallelujah!

Cliche: The writings on the wall

Writings On the Wall Bc To Ad

Words were not enough to explain the ancient stories that came before,
Beyond the slightest imagination of what took place during times of mixed truths,
Written by those who were lucky to read and write.
Decided before time seemed to matter,
belonged a vague cave illustration about right and wrong.

Lost in-between translations
from Egyptians to jews,
paintings within the cave only there to amuse.
In hidden language between the lines that rise the whole truth.

The pyramids built on the labor of slaves,
proves hard work and sacrifice shall forever remain. 

Writings on the wall from tombs to public bathrooms,
proves most opinions expressed is nonsense that's not true

End Time Message

At this omega of ill-fetted volitions 
where the concrete-embeded poster reads "EXIT"
you watch with amusement the logical end 
of ideological perversion
bemused by the grunts of kings vommitted by history
a history of misery

In this, my date with fate
as an inspired spectator i ignore the values a society disguise itself in 
and read the writings on the wall
about disjointed limps and fractured souls
about abused women and misused slogans
about useless ballots and useful bullets
about persecuted students and deffered freedom
about the death of peace
and as such our long awaited kiss 
on the lips of the King's corpse.

By the concrete poster
the wretched stands awestruck
waving their broken limps,
thus penning the last line in this history of what never happened.
the writing is on the wall
"mene mene tekela upasini"
umambo hwako hwapera
