Disdain Poems - Poems about Disdain

Your disdain
The bitterness has become a revelation, a recognition of desolation that I have come to appreciate. Wrap me in the comforts of emptiness, where the bleakness renders me numb of mind and absent of thought. Weak in body and unable to endure, I feel like a shell—just a bleeding soul within a lifeless body, left...

Just Dead
?This is it ?A bid goodbye ?A farewell into the fluffy far lands ?Where souls tango and trouble is amiss ? ?A melancholic release ?Of sweet eerie sounds ?Resonate in the heart of the clouds ?As the soul departs and body retreats ? ?Like the petals from the morning bloom ?A gay smoke dances undead in the loop ?Lot's been learned, lot more has been unlearned ?Thus elopes...

A LAMENTATION FOR THE FALLEN PEDESTAL
In days of yore, when wisdom's mantle shone Teachers were revered, their honor like a throne Despite meager pay, they earned respect and fame As bookcraft wise men, guiding learners through life's maze and flame Parents held them dear, as pointers of truth and light Learners treated them with care, in morning's golden light Teachers respected themselves, as models of virtue...

THE UNYIELDING TEACHER
I stand as a teacher, distinct and apart A beacon of passion, with a zealous heart My craft, a calling, that fuels my every fire I will not be deceived, my rewards, I must acquire In this life, I demand respect, a right I hold dear My authority, unshakeable, my will, crystal clear I am the trainer of trainers, the mentor...

Woven arrows of bleakness
1. Raucous winds sweep pristine waves against gods' sepulchral canvas as stagnant, sharp wings' frames rose from malnourished hearts; ends of elongated crosses marked beginnings of rotten, venomous roots plugged into dead matter. 2. Hollowed caverns invaded by calloused fingers coaxed bitter nectar and pellucid beads: thus, gashed, aqueous sacs polluted by darkening crimson rolled down the silken passage. With each bite, a...

Living out of a Lie
It was my dream to go to the gym. I promised myself, I would. Days passed by, I told myself, ‘I must work, I should.’ Far from work, I took to rest, As others huffed and puffed. The mirror mocked, my muscles did, As people looked and coughed. ‘Nothing’s wrong’, I told myself, An hour’s walk would do. I circled my garden twice a day, The...

Reciprocal disdain
I was once asked, what's the one thing I despise? But words faltered, for she, my reflection, listens to my cries. In the mirror, her gaze sharp, like daggers, meets mine, A silent dialogue of disdain, an internal sign. I detest her patience, unrequited and unearned, Kindness persists, tears withheld, a lesson unlearned. A heart forgiving, releasing the past's unrepentant grip, A...

Two Ravens
Two ravens in the summer dusk Were, back and forth, debating From two phone poles, loud and brusque They kept deliberating When one gave their rebuttal The other answered back But far be it from the kettle To call the raven black And while I stood observing They looked at me askance A creature undeserving Of a simple sideways glance On this one thing they did agree Those...

I must confess unmitigated disdain For those allowing jealousy a place, An emotion from which I abstain I must confess unmitigated disdain, My brain simply will not sustain This drain upon my cerebral space, I must confess unmitigated disdain For those allowing jealousy a place.

Jerelene
JERLENE Acrostic Jerlene, lovely and beautiful young lady Your tantalizing eyes enthralls a lonesome heart Your smile captivates a feeble heart Allures and fascinates a lonely life. Every man is found mesmerized By your God-given angelic beauty divine A virtue and quality that are sublime That I saw it in your eyes, from time to time. Respect, cherish and never blaspheme The...

Premium Member Sonnet On Vladimir Putin
This satanic one lives in a dark, lonely place He’s thoroughly engrossed in pelfishness, Utterly devoid of virtue, principle, and grace He is lounging in narcissism and selfishness. While he views other leaders with disdain, Claiming his greatness with disgusting ego He clearly cares only for what is his domain And those who recognize it will rate him a zero. V. Putin --...

Call To Arms
There didn’t have to be a reason no one thing no trigger it was always boiling just beneath the surface always. It could have been the number of soldiers lying empty on the desk next to the ashtray. You know the one the one that left the two scars the one into which you stamped your anger hostility hopelessness. I could always tell in the car Adele’s playing the hours will not pass quickly it will...

Tomb of a Room
I’m thoroughly surprised you chose the brocade over chiffon my dear poking at the brie only serves to show insolence and ignorance and the violins give me such a headache such a migraine jacketed like a caterpillar in its cocoon it’s no wonder it’s difficult to breath in this stagnant setting this tomb of a room we share but you knew before the steaks were cut that even the open window wouldn’t clear this air didn’t you?
