Best Yle Poems

Speak not of glorious visions past. 
The dark remorse of woe 
into the nightly splendour fades, 
Where now, I too must go.

Weep not the tears of duty here, 
Nor utter words withheld 
That may have given liberty, 
And had the power to meld.

Fear is but...

Hope seeks to breathe beyond the walls, 
Laboured and empty the effort falls, 
Her heart, recanting passion's song- 
Beats wildly as though to right a wrong. 

Could it be she lives to weep 
Over love that never dared to keep 
The promise it whispered to...

Behind the facade, angry gnashing of white,
Eyes filled with hatred as they flash past the plea,
Locking steel shovels powered by thew and by might,
Throw love's trust like freed pearls into the night sea.

The fiend, altered in form, while its rage to her known, 
Now desperately...

Believing the heart to be true to it's calling, 
While wrapping it safely in caution's warm quilt, 
Flying too close to the flame that entrances, 
Hope's wings have been singed both by trust and by guilt. 

Forging through pain that had sought to destroy her,...

Air breathed in, thick with sorrow,
The night too dense with pain,
This sunrise barely compensates,
For battles fought in vain.
 
Care has taken up its place,
Behind her weary brow,
Drowning out the happy sound,
Of friendly laughter now.
 
The pain that racks her weary form,
Mere words could ill express,
The...

Having played hard all day, the dusk now sets in, 
A time to re-join with her kith and her kin. 
But today she will not be afforded that lot, 
For the souls she now dwells with, her family are not.


Skipping through town she finds her...

Disillusioned by the words of hate, 
Disatisfied with present fate, 
Hope crouches in the corner there, 
Muttering rebellion at despair.

Before the heart is torn to shreds, 
Between the words alive and dead, 
It must be bruised and brought to shame, 
And eagerly accept the blame.

Lightning strikes without a 
warning, 
Unable to cause the heart to 
pound, 
A word, a touch, have sped the 
pulse, 
While violence rages all 
around. 

The bird has learned a song it 
heard, 
While passing through the 
storm, 
Familiar strains, unsung by 
her, 
Well up...

Love she now can ill afford 
And strength, her pride won't borrow, 
She finds no crime in letting go, 
Of dreams knit with her sorrow.

Her fire is but a ghostly glow, 
Void of the will to try, 
It calls out from her breaking heart, 
As...

Silently falls the crystalized mist, 
Sparkling wonders on this solstice eve, 
Backdrop for celestial candles, a sky, 
Of soundless depth, and velvet ease,

The soft glowing hearts of those who await, 
The welcome arrival of Peace to our sod, 
The promise that death will be given...

The scent of promise in the air, 
That winter soon will fly. 
Birds sing with overflowing hearts, 
Beneath an azure sky.

Blindly stillness seeks it's place, 
From winter's frigid throne, 
Hiding in the storm's cruel eye, 
Unaware of pain to come.

Music muted by years of pain,...

Be fluid in honesty, 
Transparent in truth, 
Don't yield to hypocrisy, 
Your morals since youth.

Unwavering compassion, 
Show all those in need, 
Forever remember, 
The price paid for greed.

Armed with conviction, 
Stand firm against wrong, 
And never forget, 
To a King you belong.

Pressing in the darkness seeks,
To quell the Hope that burns inside,
Confusion sends the message loud,
Love will die along with pride.
 
Lord, why is pain the only path,
From it's first beat, this heart has known,
Why was love so small a gift,
Offence no longer grace could drown?

Betrayal...

How your smile can illuminate

How brightly you shine 

How easily purchased has been,

The lie behind the eyes,

Of the statue,

Standing tall,

Rooted firmly in hypocrisy.

 

How readily accepted,

To the bosoms of those, 

Unknowingly drawn,

To the facade.

Believing you,

To be of the same feather

As to a duck hunter's decoy,

They...
