Devour Poems - Poems about Devour

I. One cloudless day, without spring shower or monsoon, angels made their stand; and conjured otherworldly power, one cloudless day, without spring shower. When God chose me that fateful hour, as I held lightning in my hand, that cloudless day without spring shower, I was marked for evil to devour. II. Though crucified, reviled by...

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. ...

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....

Every day, I’m thriving, By God’s grace, I’m surviving. Yet, doubts whisper I’ll derail, And once more, I’m in a spiritual jail. I learned I can achieve it all, But failure’s not my inner call. It’s a seed sown by the defeated, A lie that keeps being repeated. The harder I strive, the deeper the strife, I...

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...

(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...

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...

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 January 12, 2022...

May Midnight Dark Devour This Cursed Threnody May midnight dark devour this cursed threnody Sweet dreams, felled on "cusp of victory" Youthful wonderment through the heavens flew Alas! Destined was the loss of you! Cries in the dark, bevy of weeping moans. Hath frozen this heart into hardest stone! May Time into the darkest abyss cast These savage sorrows- horrors of the past And...

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." 2/19/2020...

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 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...

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...
