Devour Poems | Examples

Spring will devour the wind

A cold wind challenged Spring
Watering my eyes as I hunched against it
Hawks circle beneath white puff clouds
A squirrel weighs its options
Robins wrestle chilled worm sushi
Nervous Mallards pace awaiting delivery
Jonquils boldly strut their stuff
I shiver knowing that spring will devour the wind.

Thanksgiving: Devour the Anthem

Feathers plucked before the feast,
An eagle lies across the stone.
Our hunger’s grip, its need released,
Feathers plucked before the feast.
A sacred symbol, now deceased,
Hallowed eyes are swallowed whole.
Feathers plucked before the feast,
An eagle lies across the stone.

Devour

You're a cannibal, baby, 
consuming pieces of my heart, 
chewing on my frailty, 
and tearing me apart, 

You're a scavenger, baby, 
overhead with your eyes honed, 
peeling layers of my flesh, 
until I'm bare to the bone, 

You're a glutton, baby, 
you're always wanting more, 
ravenous in your hunger, 
as if you feed off of the gore, 

So sink your teeth, the kill is fresh, 
devour all of me that cares, 
go on, gorge yourself to death, 
don't leave anything to spare, 

'Cause I'll no longer be your carrion, 
your helpless carcass prey, 
that you kill and kill again, 
just to feast while I decay.

Let them bite and devour

(do bed bugs eat beds)

I can’t shut my eyes at night
Delving deep in the darkness
Slight splinters of light
Revealing the shapes of my room
But still my eyes seek deeper
Let there be grotesques and horrors
Rip me from my slumber
Tear my shreds to shreds
Let me feel the sickly breath of a non thing
As it gnarled smile boasts rows of teeth
Close enough to claw and scrape the skin from my bones
Take me to your deranged dwelling 
Where I dangles as your meat
The darkness fizzes with hints of grizzled greys
Tired now struggling eyelids close unfettered 
Sleep that hopes for an end
but it won’t

THE AFRICAN WILD DOG

Donning sable spots on buff hearts:
With all the resolve an’ brutality 
They pursue their prey;
Stopping at nothing but the 
Quarry’s final gasp for a breath 

They’re the pillaging African wild dogs:
So unflagging in the heart an’ rigid on feet
The ultimate hecklers of 
He who stitches for others, 
The one who gets lost on the way

They’re the invincible African wild dogs:
In deadly packs an’ persistent in manner 
They grip their prey an’ rip it apart - 
Preferring the budding an’ the hapless  
That’s how they are; ferocious! 

The resolute African wild dogs:
Heartless an’ inexorable, though 
Oft their kill in no time they devour whole 
Or a hunk excruciatingly torn off alive  
Such ruthlessly merciless, so they are! 

The cold-heart’d African wild dogs:
A time pinn’d down with an ample boulder 
Or other piece with an equally sound weight
For now, the frenzy snappings an’ snarling 
Render fleeting peace in the mottled hearts of theirs
Devouring an’ feasting like they do
On the now putrefying sworn enemy!

Thrown To the Wolves

Throw me to the wolves
Can't you see, they are ravenous!
Appease their hungry-eyed stare
With another hasty, careless devour

Don't wait for them to salivate
Nor stalk with pensive-like approach
Just let them pounce
And wield their familiar, ferocious snarl

My weakness is insatiable 
A mere morsel for their gluttony
I fall prey time and time again 
And defenseless, I succumb

Devour

          I'm a parched desert
           that longed for you
                 desperately
   while you were away for miles;
     now suddenly here you are!
    you've returned to me, at last.
    your smile and skin glistening 
           before my sore eyes.
                   hosanna!
          you're the cloudburst
   to heal the drought within me 
      and I'm more than thirsty!
     my true, I needn't fall down 
               on my knees
                   and beg 
          to devour you whole, 
                to engulf you 
           like a hungry abyss!

Azrael Does Devour

While fitful, impetuous, tears force to submissive dirge
an enshrouded grey shadow within mine afflicted heart.
In ghastly, pallid emptiness; beguiling Azrael does cajoles.
"Ah, Tis only, immolation that can enchant and subdue Azrael."

I Devour My Food

I devour my food
not in dainty bites
Slicing it savagely
with my tiny babyish teeth
guzzle my drink 
a glutton I am
living life on the brink
of enjoyment 
showing off my long teeth roots
and my tiny gnashing power

These Stone Eyes Devour

These stone eyes devour
chiselled by the empty rain
buffed by the dust of histories remnants
Touching life with crackled fingertips
The portent unformed smile
that labours at the stone hearts
that drift forever by
Punished wings that mock
at feet unmoved
Pass me with your time
Unfelt this obelisk heart of mine

Devour a Good Book

Once a bookworm from Timbuktu 
Devoured every book he went through
He was quiet scary
Ate every book in the library
First editions, hardcovers and paperbacks too

Divine Do Desire To Devour

Divine Do Desire to Devour

Devine's love we do desire to devour;
Free us from sin with all of His power,
And perfection,
In every direction;
Down on us strength start to shower.

Jim Horn

God help us to bare all of the strain;
Sin and earth's pleasures not retain;
Forevever free,
Will always be;
In Your grace should stay and remain.

Jim Horn

Devoured

‘Devoured’

For I am the representation of the unknown.

I whence at the thought of human touch and flee at first glance.

I fly away in solitude and caw in the name of darkness.

For I am the madness in a poets line and the chaos that brings chills down your spine.

A lunatics binge is greener past the fringe as the laughter echoes past the grassy knoll and the white rabbit effect takes its toll.

Falling in-through a hole-in-one, a single gesture lands you on the dark side of the sun.

You wake in the middle of glide and all you wanna do is do is confide.

The hands of the traveler comforts all who follow.

Especially the ones who connect and wallow.

For I am dark, a winged messenger—swallowed

The Devour

one and three before the holy march
comes fall and I feel so good singing 
this years fall
humming bird 
reincarnated as a spiteful
Cat seeking for prey for energy
to devour for for once and all for the cat moves among the us in the multiverse
like we are the sheep and and it is the being the devours all all like a wolf in a pack of sheep and the Cat is vengeful star once bright now dim as glass and takes all that it touches as this Cat is Black whom is on mission to devour all of know space time  as the cat hates for being created to to hated as such it shall take out revenge on all of creation  and when it has done so it will consume itself then as an final act against who had created the Cat God in some short or shape the cat will make all them pay for the living such an short life compared to the other stars in the sky and cosmos above the cat and god shall see it come so mote it be said the cat and I will rise so that I might consume all and take my place in eternal  darkness for all eternity everlasting  so mote it be forever and ever I Am the Black Cat
