Extinguished Poems - Poems about Extinguished

On a nameless night, under a sky sprinkled with extinguished stars, Thoughts trickle like oil in the engine of an old dream, And I, a lost acrobat, sway on the thin thread of life, Trying to grasp in my palms the essence of a world that smolders quietly.

Where is our love, where did it go? When did it slip away My heart is sad for I loved you so How did we come to this cruel day I’m still the one you promised to love To cherish and care for all of our life We’d weather all storms, we’d rise above A couple, a pair, husband and wife But...

The leaves of our thoughts rustle in the wind of time, whispering untold stories, While the roots of the soul stretch deep into the fertile soil of collective memory. The photosynthesis of emotions transforms...

RAPED AND EXTINGUISHED IN THE SANCTUARY Malevolent violence in UNIBEN, Nigeria a virgin soul in a sacred home, Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa gang-rapped, bleeding like a ?? watermelon.

where has your light gone celestial luminary.... spectrum now greyscale cold rain and raven's stares warmth to frost i exhale dark misery the sunrise halts with your goodbye rainbows turn to rain as you disappear night and star black rivers flow out of my heart it's sackcloth groans sound deep in the night hope wilting in death's embrace black tears black tears black tears from your face i reach for you...

I lit a fire in your heart You lit a fire in mine We would’ve watched these flames grow stronger over-time But we are too clumsy Our hearts are as fragile as oil lanturns That we have both dropped And left burning upon the ground They will say, “The wind put that out” “The rain must’ve gotten to it” “Fire fighters came...

Sometimes, for no reason, my depression returns, for a season. When I feel my heart begin to crumble, I'm at my weakest point and usually stumble. What I wouldn't do to have a hand to reach for, but, all my lady loves have gone out the door. We each contain within us a flame, some nights it burns brighter, most days it's...

This pain you live in Is unmistakably so real This torture you’re prone too It kills me too With every breathe you choke in My heart pulses “No” With every weakened bone I shout, toss, and spin But although that You speak to me With words, weary words, and gentle care You speak of feelings you...
