Downfall Poems

MINE: Allure downfall

Allure downfall 
Embodiment of temptation
Seeped into my bloodstream making your way into my heart 
Ache behind the art 
Tender in the dark , killer with a kiss 
Softer than scars louder than silence 
Moon fire 

Promise are slippery things 
Watching her laugh with him feels like a final goodbye 
I thought giving her space was

A call for the oppressors downfall

Comfort wrapped in a blanket of security
Never fearing the chance of brutality 
Only a freedom granted to those with fair skin
Greeted by the warmth of idiocy
Building a racist system of legacy
With followers who exhibit stupidity 
But useful in killing democracy 
To continue their self fulfilling prophecy 
Of forced superiority

A politicians smile brings a darkness 
Poisonous

Your cup is full

                  Never a fool but your cup's full,
                With force you seek my downfall.

Downfall

What to do with the remains of a man carved hollow?
After years of war and struggle and hardship, 
when his love is stripped away, 
his morals stolen by the thief of time.
The people tear him open, then feasting on his open flesh;
What shall the monster do?
He shall retaliate, crushing everything in his path, his sights

In Color

Sometimes I hate seeing pictures of myself when I was younger. Baby pictures, homecoming photos, the embarrassing high school Facebook selfies. The nostalgia is there, sure. But when I look at that girl, sometimes I don’t recognize her. I don’t feel any true connection to BEING her. But I do envy her. It’s not like

Premium MemberThe Worlds Biggest Failure My Downfall And Conffestion

"If I'm the world's biggest failure 
Does that make me a success ?.'' - Peter Dome.

I'm not exactly Midus with his special touch
That everything turns to gold
You can trust
Everything I touch
Just turns to rust or dust
Always, putting my foot in the wrong place
Saying the wrong things to others
So embarrassed my cheeks glow like a mellesure

Into Piles

What in the world are we doing?
Who are we trying to beat?
It seems like we live our lives running,
as if we are losing our seats.

We never stop building up towers.
We never stop spinning around.
We never stop piling up into piles
everything that we’ve torn down.

Is it that we are pursuing
happiness, like the old phrase?
Or are we

My Tender Downfall

Your lips will be my Downfall,

I think I lose a bit of my soul  when you kiss me slow,

Hug me tighter as I draw my last breath,
Because your touch will be the end of me.

Greed Was Your Downfall

You were greedy and it was your downfall.
You went to Las Vegas and you lost it all.
You lost seventy thousand dollars in one day.
Your wife took the children and went away.
When you gambled, you thought you could win several hundred grand.
You lost your family and all of the money and now you're a broken man.
If

Downfall of Ye and Resurrection of Kanye West

DOWNFALL OF "YE" & RESURRECTION OF KANYE WEST
 
Recreation is here to stay. So who made "Ye"? 
Like a chain reaction, Hov' created "Riri" and "Ye". 
Kanye's the creation made out of heavenly dew & clay, 
But recreation of "Ye" came with a price to pay:
Donda, the price the Powers that be choose to slay.

The Downfall of a Summernight

Swimming in the pool, we enjoy the sun.
Playing boule, we all have fun.
Everybody loves their food, life is good
Every best friend in one neighborhood

One of few days in some Summertimes.
I love this town with almost no crimes.
Suddenly my phone loudly rings
I start to fly almost like I had wings.

I wonder why my mother calls
She is

Premium MemberMy Downfall

Lovely to look at
Incredibly delicious
Fresh baked donuts
Not so nutritious

Sugary and sweet
Glazed so divine
A baker’s dozen
They’re all mine

Too much sugar
Brings on a coma
But I have earned
My donut diploma

Licking my fingers
After each bite
Sends sugar level
Clear out of sight

I’d share my donuts
If you were here
But since you’re not
Perhaps have a beer!
