Brink Poems - Poems about Brink

The hush before the dawn is thin and gold, A breath held tight beneath the sky’s soft yawn. Somewhere, a blackbird sings to break the cold, And I, for once, do not feel quite as gone. The frost still clings to windows, faint and shy, But light moves gently through the trees again— It spills across the room without a cry, Like...

This is it The end I’ve no more friends And now it all depends. What will he do now? There’s nothing else around For miles and miles not even a sound. No laughter, no people just air and ground. We are alone. I wish I could call, Never realized how much I would miss it all. There’s no point. My soul was sold, By no...

On the Brink  In shadows deep, where sorrow’s whispers dwell, A lone soul stood, 'neath night’s somber embrace. The world, a blur, in twilight’s mournful spell, Naught mattered then, save will to find his place. On precipice of losing all held dear, He found a strength that quelled his deepest fear. In silence, heard his heart’s quiet plea clear, To endure, advance, and...

Our Felicity knows no rest and was Often admonished by her Head Nurse. It happened one day she was out for an errand When a small boy was admitted to emergency. With little thought she hurried to help, forgetting she had no gloves on, nor a face mask. The boy was very sick and required great care. The Head Nurse realized something...

Teetering I stand poised with bated breath, Staring at the precipitous of death. Ground beneath, slippery, shaky slimy. I fear my state, fate and fear will collide. A gust of doubt, a whispered wisp of fear, Blown on ledge, all it takes to topple here. Each moment hanging on the edge of chance, Cast into a risky hazardous dance. But I resolve to...

As you watched the abuse carried out, My soul was broken, no doubt. A connection can never be made, As my nurturer and protector, I was betrayed. Setting the stage for scant regard, Not knowing how to protect myself by putting up my guard. No loving childhood remembrances, No I love you or tender embraces. I finally had to let...

Heavy thoughts stirred his sleep waiting for him in his limbo His past drifted away like fleeting clouds returning vaguely, like lurking shadows Visions drizzling through his future past stranded in the abyss of failed dreams If all could slow a little If time will go on a gentle walk then tomorrow might be better If for a single more day, the light...

How many times have we been to the brink And into the depths of despair that we sink The Hitlers, the Stalins and the Putins stand tall To bring us to the cusp to sacrifice all How many martyrs to the cause Does it take to give the world pause To count costs and to start anew Will there be a time...

“Wars and rumors of wars” – the Bible says That being so, then we should not be surprised When selfishness and greed are bubbling over When covetous, malicious, power-hungry leaders Bring the entire world to the brink of disaster. We need always be prepared for the next one For they will come, surely, as the sun rises and sets Despotic-minded individuals will...

Light lusters through a leak-in-line squall, design is drenched from the downpour. Ground's thick dew began to shimmer and prism, It's within grasp of awe. withstand meager hooves ahead. I board a whirlwind of vivid cortex. teetering swelling blazes spun whirling. Tidal light wave caught me in its vortex, warmth is generated by red loading. squinting, cold in green turn to a...

Infinite pitch black void zoomed, I vacillated then pitched headlong (head and knobby knees, over heels) where skeletons in shuttered closets roomed, and antithesis of freedom loomed large (think) cosmic size grand canyon groomed courtesy the once mighty Mississippi, now barely a babbling brook in places espouses, and cloisters unbridled wedded bliss till after honeymoon, than couple fumed one accusing the other of infidelity absolute zero...
