Dilemmas Poems - Poems about Dilemmas


Light
Sometimes I need light. Sometimes we, sometimes everyone needs light. In the dark and the damp of rooms, of feelings, of thoughts and of our lives that flow, we need light from the window, from the open door, from the open spaces under the open skies, and then we need some lights to glow, but from where, when or whether it will come or...

Dilemmas of V Day
I no more can find That word I had kept in mind For long to tell her. Few know: it’s not just In love that the test comes first And lesson later. Nor, love is journey, No station to reach any, And it puts them off, Love’s to give, not get And cannot be a sure bet, That too puts them off, At best love’s a...

Premium Member Cruel and Friendly Cloud Dilemma
Forms most enormous seen from our earth, Dwarf the tallest, the grandest of mountains’ girth. Magnificent spectacles rounded up in the sky: Sculptured foam, floating frothy, towering high. Black ominous clouds of malevolent breadth, Funnels of doom, destruction, and death, Whirling and wheeling, zigzagging tyrants Twisting down alleyways, roaring in rants. Scalloped and mackerel in all shades and hues, Textured cloud patterns, sunlit paintings...

Cruel Dilemmas
Cool drops of water fall upon the rock And slowly carve their way toward the sea Much as existence, hastened by the clock, Unfolds its wings, undaunted, soaring free. Strange fancies yearn to take their flight and leave The pit of slow, monotonous decay, Though human will must bear its toil and grieve While bound to shackles smothering their prey. The...

Premium Member Shadows of Moral Dilemmas
Something lugubrious lies lurking Inside every human being, Preventing us from reaching Our propitious potential. It follows us from cradle to grave Leaving no one unscathed In the ever-present shadows of moral dilemmas Within the cavernous reaches of our hearts and minds. We struggle unceasingly with this tug-of war Between wrong and right, Darkness and light And occasionally, get lost in the...

Moral dilemmas. I quiz and pursue resolution to my dilemmas, My life and Its little hiccups. My father, he protected yet prepared me for life’s journeys. So the day came, I flew the coop And he thought, he had taught me well. But the real world and my presence in it It bought fun, adventure and love. Yet within all that way to many, moral...

The Monster's Dilemmas
The monster in bed, calmly he would lie, Knowing he would die on thirteenth day. Seeking freedom, he just could not find, Freedom has left him, slavery filled his mind. Being alone, he was blind, he could not see, That the world didn’t even want him to be. With his simple mind he could not understand, Whom he has disappointed whom did...

Dilemmas
I did something, I thought of something. Some processes were set in motion. Now I’m wondering. Now I’m thinking. I consider an impact of Heaven. What was made by chance, and what was not? Some of my reactions were instinctive, Some of my actions had to come from God, Some work was in vain, some was constructive. What mechanisms were...
