Downward Poems - Poems about Downward

Can I bum light from you brother? Many thanks I reckon I'll be on my way I got a lot of ground left to cover and not enough time in the day. I've been drinking strychnine baby I hope you I watched the tires burn just so I can inhale the smoke. It's the kind...

In these days there is no light Evil stalks within the night, Seeking those it will devour; Hearts are darkened by the hour. Babes are born and toddlers play While parents rage against the day; No money left to pay the rent, Desperate times will not relent. Descending into thievery Requires no great bravery, Just a mask and just a gun Then you learn to...

Birth to death is a downward slide Notice the signs every day My luscious hair is thinning rapidly Muscles are starting to decay Eyesight's caused me to wear by-focals My back's in perpetual pain Haven't had to use one of those walkers Don't have use of my brain On the bright side still alive and kicking Though high as I once did Keep exercising and...

THE SUN BEATS ITS DOWNWARD GAZE The sun beats its downward gaze Onto a spread-out garden, Shimmering among the arrayed blossom, With sultrily humid, sweat-inducing rays, To break up the encrusted ground. A resurrected form unbinds itself From winter's hardening strictures, Uncracks the crowded confines In a stretched, yielding chrysalis To emerge pristine of shape and hue Into the burgeoning brightness Of a gold-gleaming dawn. Such...

Briars scrape my flailing hand, a fly drones overhead. Prickly hedges drip with beads of squashed black fruit basking in a sticky sun-lit mist. Down this quaint unearthly country lane I tread. Some strange presence, a mockingbird sixth sense casts its unseen ring of watchful silence. Drooping branch that creaks - spore-shedding fern, covert ripple menace, symbolic dash. Imagined signal from an imprint long...

The fog murks its way in front of me daylight fades into a lurid glow. I drift loose as stones lost in my mind hanging on to sanity by a fragile thread. There’s a hunger within me that won’t abate to fix my personal planet to a fiery star, ride its path around the universe along with other...

Enableability taken away in an instant, the way it was granted. If we be a conduit, we should not sway, there being no ego to be flaunted, with no narrow thoughts, feeble and slanted. We being oriented for expansion are thus disconcerted by contraction. However, it is the ego upset having lost reason for celebration, since pristine presence always stands erect. 11-November-2020...

Gleeful happy joyful jubilantly wonderful exciting times Unknowing about pandemics, upbeat feeling climbs. Two-thousand-twenty sobering, history unprecedented. Wishing China bat-eating fetish never invented. Family laughter disappeared suddenly January weekend. Hugging, kissing, contacting, unacceptable, distance recommend. Turning USA upside downward, Covid-19 virus, dreadfully awful. Society unbelievably vulnerable, saving family ultimate waffle. Willingly educated medically, socially emotionally, mostly ready. Epidemiologists attempt delivering materials...
