Fear Poems | Examples of Fear Poetry

Sunset Sunrise
The sun closes her eyes, and I must close mine, this time, but my breaking blood-brain barrier bids otherwise. Another long night bodes foreboding in this light. Forbidden thoughts seep deep from blood to brain. I must fight, again, another tormenting night. Earth's most frightening repetitive cycle plays on repeat as I try to cycle through my backups to no avail,...

I Was Homeless Christmas 2003!
It was cold and freezing in the city of Denver. A day in my life I will always remember. The sound of sirens wailing all around. The police had gathered near a body on the ground. A man with no home froze there during the night. It filled me with sadness to behold such a...

To My Children, Be Anxious For Nothing Trust God!
I give thanks to the Lord, Because he cares for me. His love, I can never ever deny, Through His Son Jesus, I have been set free. That day on the cross he died. Problems will come, But I will not fear, Because I know just where to turn. I wanted to tell it to you my kids. Of one event...

Samantha’s Unwritten Vows
The aisle stretched longer that day, a white river with no other shore. Her fingers crushed the lace of her gown— Where is he? The guests’ whispers grew teeth, gnawing the silence between hymns. Later, they’d say he was the villain, the man who fled his own shadow. No one mentioned the envelope thick with cash in the sexton’s pocket, or the father’s wine-stained lips sealing...

Premium Member Codons of Contempt: A Crime Against Empathy
We came not for conquest, but for containment— though conquest is what happens when containment itches beneath the skin like sulfur spores in a sealed lung. They had the secret. Not gold, not weapons, not prophecy— but language that healed. Real language— not poetry, not prayer, but syntax of cells. Their infants spoke in codons. Their trees rustled in protein sequences. Their dead decomposed into algorithms that rewrote the...

Premium Member Fearless
1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” Against the falling rain, a soundless version rescues my heart with innocence, songs of grace erasing the darkness, the thunderous conversion still as the echo of a lasting peace, hope’s...

Help
My ears fill with the rain- that are my tears. Crying into the night, searching in desperate need for light. Looking cluelessly into others' eyes for help, because I cannot begin to know how to help myself. The words bite my tongue, rotting my teeth... yet I can't even begin to speak....

Josh Moore Minnesota
Moist sheets tossed aside soaked pillows Side by side She was wet Dime sack and tree rings Green sight meet brown peepers Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity Abittor Unami eau de cologne Thin plain pink blanket on the window Air conditioner recirculating Salmon rays preen her face Noon spring afternoon the rain stopped the sun peeked in Bare cucumber blooms sticky seeds Hanging over pickled The...

Hellish sleep
I think it's getting worse The visions happen less Now I don't dream but still I feel it nonetheless I feel impending doom A danger I can't explain A parabola of needles A sense of helpless pain I sit there non-existent Or at least not of this plain I try to cry but don't know how To feel present, much less sane I sit in utter silence Longing...
