Defenses Poems - Poems about Defenses

Prone to portray an image to have it all figured out Externally put together while internally pulled apart Ready to take off armor and start letting down guard Reinforcing interior instead of constructing a façade Possible to flip the script to stop putting on a show Displaying my mess instead as an opportunity to grow...

Even if she were a whore With a visible moral sore: The licentious from her jaw, Largely The Deprived or poor, A fool seeming to the core, On all days A Bore But broke A Toothless Law, You mustn’t her on paper draw, On her invective pour Nor bang on her door… These, a raising of dust and more, For The...

He had tore down all of her defenses in a matter of minutes, he was the first man who even got that close to her. She never felt  vulnerable before in her life, depent on someone, trusting so completely and openly at all. She had built her defenses up along time ago, she had started...

These are poems about war and defenses. Defenses by Michael R. Burch Beyond the silhouettes of trees stark, naked and defenseless there stand long rows of sentinels: these pert white picket fences. Now whom they guard and how they guard, the good Lord only knows; but savages would have to laugh observing the tidy rows. Piercing the Shell by Michael R. Burch If we strip away all the...

I woke up today, to chaos and expectations, and demands. my heart began pounding and I threw up my defenses. Walls erected a million miles high above me I can finally breathe. I get dressed, and for the first time in a long time I felt pretty today. You were kind to me, and for a short time, I felt safe. Then it came as it always does You call it...

Robin Red Breasts welcome Spring in the melodies they sing. Bearing breasts of crimson-red, they return from whence they fled. A splash of color on white is indeed a pleasing sight. And as the icicles melt, Spring's tepid breath can be felt. Daffodils poke through the ground, and suddenly, sprouts abound. Where white was, it's green instead, a sign of what lies ahead. Nature nurtures life once...

You won me in the shard of a second I opened to you like an oyster In that one moment you tore down walls, shattered towers. Opened shells, devoured me, saw me, and in that instant, in your soft eyes, I saw no triumph, you were a mirror. I was beautiful, you saw no scars. Your smile burned...

We long for relationships that know no borders, in which hearts can roam free, frolicking with each other, and galloping at will through fields and streams in broad daylight, and spontaneous affections can nuzzle unrestrained. Yet on our humble ranch, it is the broken horses that we so often ride. Connections become curtailed that once headed for the horizon, by trial and error taught to shield certain wounds and mind necessary...

We use five senses every day As we work and as we play They are useful and handy I will list them so you see We could never live without What these senses are all about Eyes can do so many things With the looks that they can bring Joy, passion and sensual They can stare with sexual Ideas that glimmer, glow and shine Whenever your...

FENCES BUILT BY DEFENSES I once said you and I had different definitions of love and what it's all about now i'm left treading water in a sea of doubt I know our feelings about love compete with one another but it's all about the fire and the embers we must smother we embrace by the fireside and swear our...

communicated purpose sighs, fated signs pressed in melted wax. vandalized solution soon dies, methodical confessions tax. fated signs pressed in melted wax, defending crumbled walls of need. methodical confessions tax, finding silence willing to bleed. defending crumbled walls of need, ambition grows an honest lie. finding silence willing to bleed, gather the memories passed by. ambition grows an honest lie, tomorrow's secret closely hold. gather the memories passed by, love...
