Downcast Poems - Poems about Downcast

All pie-eyed, I leapt up in the sky to defy And to decry my flightless plight, that I deny. I made my wings of feathers, wax and strings, All strung together with rings, springs and other things. But aghast, I flew too high, too close to sun's hot blast, The wax dripped, alas I slipped and fell, like a pie...

Nwanyi'agadi, the daughter of Nwanyi'kwele, On our day of Armageddon, We will publish your name upon the office of Justice, Come, sit here and prevail. You will stand on the fulcrum, and clench the Ofor into your right fist, Become our judge, we beseech you, You whose fury burns like the wild furnace, Behold, this evil happened to our world two generations...

The pain comes down from outside like rain Pounding outside on the window pane The feeling of anguish in our heart I seems to play a part Anger, when you have done something wrong Then the days just get long Hurting those that love you Which can be very few Hating, what you thought was right You still put up one heck of a...

The truth stood downcast in the lie, thinking it was better this way; time would, our feelings, nullify and let the mem’ry fade away. Silhouettes hugging on a pier the truth stood downcast in the lie: “I’ll be home soon, no need to fear” And quiv’ring sobs, her sole reply. Off to battle! By hue and cry, we parted ways, this time for good. The...

The truth stood downcast in the lie My eyes tried to whisper But my tongue was tied Because he loved my sister He asked me to introduce them The truth stood downcast in the lie He was my heartbeat and my friend My heart ached, I was about to die Their love grew and blossomed Two souls prancing in bliss The truth stood downcast in...

Detective’s work was cast aside The truth stood downcast...

The truth stood downcast in the lie; she never thought he'd say goodbye. It all was there in stark, plain sight; the things he did were just not right. His promises made her heart fly... the truth stood downcast in the lie. She thought she was the only one; he swore 'forever'...then was done. His words were gifts for her to hear, allegiance to...

quatern The truth stood downcast in the lie; dismayed she left their home at once. She'd blathered on about someone who'd fill her life with what she wants.

He sold their house, it held the truth; depressed, he let...
