Discontent Poems - Poems about Discontent

Discontent
They said, "you look cute" I smiled and remained mute But, Did that really make me smile? Remarked they, saying, you are beautiful, adorable and kind "You are someone who's hard to find" Are these the only adjectives, to which we woman are confined? Isn't it a bit unkind? We don't want to be deftly defined Why are we personified...

winter of discontent
Winter of Discontent Cloudiness has settled in the sky An act of unpalatable truth of the kind A summer sun easily hides Old dwellings are full of cracks Sagging roofs and dust on the windowsill Pot-holed roads, dry as clay, lead from From doom to the gloom of routines Nothing changes; life is an endless struggle Spring is far away Then,...

when the sky breathes poetry through sepia-streaked silence, and the earth reclines, listening to the music of weeping wisterias~ blowing in the pulse of bleeding paradise, I swallow sizzling stars within cloaked scars, comfortably blanketed in self-woven wounds. while you, the prisoner of my past, keep revisiting empty journals, lacking crystalline colors of comfort. as crimson are the lines across pages of pain, and rhymes left unwritten~ stretching through margins...

Premium Member Discontent Stream Flows With Happy Memory
The sinking beauty of the spreading spectrum of sadness I revel as the cinnabar sunset takes away my departing day. The joy of twilight time the last rays of drowning dusk unravel in the pensive painting of the listless life in disarray. In the darkest of nights the stars shine in the satin sky bright, silver dust disperses sequined...

Premium Member WEATHERING THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT: A REPOST FOR 2025
In this, the death-prone winter of our discontent, the world lay languishing from mitotic chaos and malignant uncertainty---spreading a pandemic cancer of destruction over the body of our moral humanity. Infected rebirth cells of ancient crusade history scatter world wide---blown like dry leaves in chilling winds of cold war seasons. Here, in the frozen season of time, Armageddon stalks democracy in the chilled...

There's this constant buzzing in my mind that steers my thoughts into oblivion so I distract myself to drown it out. I'm alright. These distractions keep me up all night and when I...

Premium Member In the twilight realm of shadows, where whispers weave tales of discontent
In the twilight realm of shadows, where whispers weave tales of discontent, Politics, a guilty addiction, ensnares the souls of the desperate and bent. Addicts of power, they wander, their hearts encased in cold steel, Lies and deceit their currency, stealing dreams we once held real. In the dark corridors of influence, where truth fades and shadows extend, Each maneuver,...
