Casts Poems | Examples

every vote casts matter's

the bar down on 5th, voices clash like dice in a cup,
old men with one eye left open, arms folded, tight,
mutter about what doesn’t matter, what will never matter—
but they walk, stumble, crawl to cast a scratch of ink.

it’s a paper with too much power, too many voices
pressed into the small, heavy hands of the damn,
of the ones who only want to be heard just once,
for their troubles, their lost lives buried under old rents,

but tonight, they grip it, like something fierce,
like holding on to a last drink, or last chance,
and they shake their heads in quiet and whisper,
“what does it change? what does it fix?”

but still, they sign that little death,
spit on the floor, pull open the door,
and walk out like they’ve got something back.

Flame Casts No Shadow

Luke 3:17
Matthew 3:2
Hebrews 12:29
Nehemiah 9:12

A Flame hath no shadow of its own
For light is pure and blameless
Under this glare secrets art shown
They shine no longer nameless

In the true and holy Light of God
No darkness nor sin doth taint
Pillar of fire,  tall and broad
That safely warms His Saints

The burning heart of the zealous
The warming heat of love
Ignite the called to tell us
Of our Father, Savior, and Dove 

 Our God is a consuming fire
The Spirit, a sweet, fervent heat 
The Son, as King, will build a pyre
To separate chaff from wheat 

The chaff will all be burned away
The wheat  harvested home
For each of us, our choice made
Thank God we could atone 

Before God's cup of wrath is poured
Seek Him and that heavenly home
Fire is kind if you've opened loves door 
For flame hath no shadow of its own.

Your Beautiful Self Casts Light

Please be loving and supportive of each other. You never know how much time you have or the difference your words and actions will make. A pebble can create ripples that extend far beyond our known reach. 

Your beautiful self casts light

You are beautiful
It extends beyond your face
It's there in your heart 
It's there in your soul's grace 

You radiate this beauty
It shines from deep inside you
Like a beacon to the Universe
Like a torchlight in the dark

Every smile you give
Every gentle touch
Every kind word
Touches hearts and minds

Like a pebble that creates ripples 
That extends beyond our known reach 
Your beautiful self casts light
On everyone you meet

When the Moon Casts Its Silver

When the moon casts its silver on the sea
And the cold waves echo their monotone 
I remember because you walked with me 
Of a time when I didn't walk alone.

I felt the thunder falling from the cliffs
Surround the sand-dunes reaching out to sea.
I will pass through death and then thereafter
Before you walk these paths again with me

The Glory of the Universe

The sunshine casts on 
The sea, the ground, your face
The sunshine climbs 
The tree tops, the lamp poles, the roofs
The sunshine penetrates into 
The doors, the windows, your eyes
Please wake up, man
To receive
The first ray of daybreak
The glory from the universe
Don't hestitate, man
To every cloud, there is a silver lining
To every wish, there is a way
To every man, there is a 24-hours-day

Denial Casts 1st Stone

hidden seeds are sewn 
                planted inside my poem
               cannot hide what’s known 
            a pattern of strands are shown
          cast away truth ~ now your prone

Love Casts a Shadow

I quest my love from the depths of silenced shadows, 
amongst the reclusive dimness…
Where I compose my Soliloquy of Solitude 
as I gravitate to a ghostly grimness…
Fortitude I have none, for my hermitic heart 
pulsates within its penumbra prison…
I walk these calamitous corridors with the stench 
of sulfates that have ruinously risen…
All I seek is you, my love, for you have gone,
and thus I’m trapped in tangled thoughts…
Where rivers of tears sing a sad song, 
my lachrymal love tied by katabolic knots…
My hidden heart lays to rest, confined and consumptive, 
for many other hearts here weep…
My eyes of devotion become blind, 
and Symphony of Sorrows rampageously reap.

When Dark Lust, Casts Its Gleaming Eyes On You and Me

When Dark Lust, Casts Its Gleaming Eyes On You And Me

When tears are sharp daggers that pierce a wounded heart
 when within midnight terrors, this spirit staggers
 ghastly beasts dine upon freshly torn body parts
 as tragic love's flings its many poisonous darts.
 
When piercing cries, through moonlit night's echoing ring
 when savage monsters, dance around rot and decay
 as dead roses, their wafting aroma burns and stings
 ghoulish monsters laugh, crown themselves as golden kings.
 
When dying moans, within blacken, deep bloody pits
 when unholy hell, its gifts this world celebrates
 are measures of life, and the dangers of deep hate
 such is fodder for evil's grasp, at Hell's first gate.
 
When heart burns, with its embraced dark and wicked glee.
When dark lust, casts its gleaming eyes on you and me.

The Buddha Casts No Shadow

The Buddha casts no shadow
smugly seated at high noon’s
forever present moment
 
a ripple-less façade placidly
ignoring its turmoil filled depth
masked in fates saturnine smile

a somber stoic’s silent grin
mocking the wind blown leaves
amused by time’s chaos

plumply sated in his idyll
disconnected from all things
the Buddha casts no shadow

Doubt Casts a Shadow

I've walked these lonely miles
In spite, of tumultuous trials
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

My strength shall not falter
Though, my life was altered
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've held steadfast with courage
Though, times of small discourage
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've overcame each affliction
Years of secret addiction
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've survived abuse, upon me, inflicted
Encountered the world's truly wicked
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've mended the pain of my broken heart
Even, as my life was shattered apart
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

Misery sang, to me, its bitter song
I mustered the will to carry on
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I can not be broken!
Despite, each hateful word spoken!
Yet, doubt casts a shadow!

I've conquered my demons!
Whilst, my soul was screaming!
Yet, doubt casts a shadow!

I've accepted my transgressions!
Turned, my life, a new direction! 
Yet, still, doubt casts its shadow!!

She Casts a Spell

Saying her name 
is a passionate verse
every dream is a lifetime
nights apart are a curse

Days are a daze	
of stolen kisses shared 
under tear stained skies
watercolor memories

Sleep deprived 
by a compulsive vigil
senses soon succumb
and I am so lost

Drawn into this bliss
a surreptitious possession
wets natures appetite
and I feast eagerly 

In smoldering need
a calling and craving 
to touch and to savor
speak and be taken
 
She casts a spell
her alluring mystery
has decreed surrender
to this Melanesian diva.

Truth Casts No Shadow

No cloud of doubt is ever cleared
until it is cleared right,

be it in the darkest midday
or most blinding midnight.


               Yet the debate rages on and on
               deep in the conscience

               even of those whose tired tongues
               have long been slain by silence.


                               But the real might of the truth
                               lies in its own neutral light,

                               where all in view casts no shadow,
                               where all is in plain sight!

The Pod Casts'

Listen, They cry,
Voters beat the bullies,
Check out the latest shock jock,
Red eyes, pub snacks,
Dodgy hair and drunkenness,
Infected crime and spared avoiding Spam, 
Busy wallowing in profundity.
Debating taunt,
Dancing the winnable extreme super yacht,
Having a dreadful across,’ the pod casts’
Randomness the cultural generated thingies.
Swapping the spray, 
Got a warm fuzzy parenting,
For an old pair of socks,
Cuddly cowboys.
Artistic collaboration,
Evil culprits documentary,
Mysteries of love,
Listings for the beach,
Gym bunnies.
Futurological into Satan’s mythology,
Turn out walls,
Playing irrationally exuberant.
The fancy bare-naked robots,
Beefcake or cheesecake burglar,
Abduction for a noble cause,
Wonderful gun jokes 
Retrieval disappearing.
Reacquainted play poker,
Effective humour,
Jet packs and heavy weight flaming,
Lifetime gifted ideas,
Bonfire night,
Shiny furthering.
A wireless honeymoon,
Non-desirable Commitment.
Daily practiced Motions
Experienced bribery and favoritism, 
Dreamt of a Global village.
