Flags Poems - Poems about Flags

Red Flags He hides his phone when you’re near, Fingers fumble, clouded fear. Notifications off at night, Darkness veils the glaring light. Silent whispers in his chest, Half-truths spoken, half repressed. “Just some work,” he softly pleads But trust can’t bloom from poisoned seeds. Location off, a phantom’s trace, You’re left to wonder, left to chase. His stories shift, they twist and turn, Your gentle heart begins...

Within me lays a vacancy,- a searing pain deep in my heart. Despite how we had left things- I cannot stand being apart. This cavern in my chest- It aches for you, and only you. Your absence tears my soul, and leaves my insides black & blue. So many pricless moments- (I wouldn't) trade them for the...

our mouth owes a debt to your buried bones a hot lead cracked in a jiffy, and your brain splashed~ in the thick forest of Hanoi, with the stains sucked by soil as a flow thicker than water. many blood stains on our flags made too heavy for the wind...

The commonplace entertains the unspeakable. Horror yellows in vaults. It is all recorded, all labeled all explained or condemned. We keep the worst atrocities close, create libraries to warehouse the obscene and gruesome. We have photographed every current ghastly act. Pundits endlessly debate the proverbs of ancient spiders. Dragons guard the cribs of our future demons. Serpents thought read our dreams. Slaughter demands its place in the sun. Who then are...

I wanted so badly to know every darkened piece of coal beneath your sooted mantle See for myself how every well lit pane Became a sunlit stage Where the glittered dust danced so graceful How every long hallway corridor led to every spiral staircase Alway leading to something more The home you built, the person that you are I wanted so badly...

Flags One flag. Two flags Three flags. Four The red flags were Popping up. But I chose to ignore. From no pictures together Or letting the world know That I was your man And you were my girl. I fell for you hard and told You my fears. And you said You were different And I had nothing to fear...

Did I not fall in love? with a man in his boldness, Matured at acuteness. Ohhh he felt like home. For the three months we pushed, but haven't actually set eyes on each other but, it felt like we knew each other. I remember the days when he gave excuses for my "coming over" I ignored the red flags His Excuses felt like reasons...

Ah yes, Freedom, liberty, Individualism Melded into a nation. Flags will be waved By those denied a flag Chants will be shouted By those who forget Patrick Henry’s “give me liberty or give me death” forgetting the price freedom and liberty exacts from those who seek it, cherish it, fight and die for it those who would condemn our flag may raise flags that denied them the right and freedom and liberty to do so...

Pikes held high, Flags fill the sky, Drummer boys sound the beat, Musket men are on their feet. White smoke swirls, ram down the ball really hard, Pour in the gunpowder to make the charge. Front rank kneel, back rank stand and take your aim, On command back rank fire, then swop over with the front rank to add their shoots to...

Flags Such a delicately beautiful flower With a subtle refined and heavenly scent. It stands above the others like a tower And its sweet perfume into the air is spent. Though it doesn’t have a great deal of power It leaves most everyone peacefully content. It adorns gardens of houses everywhere And is planted in graveyards to show folks...

I saw those red flags waving. I should have run away. But then he smiled, I was beguiled, and so I thought I'd stay. The warning bells inside my head, I paid them all no heed and chose my path to follow his wherever it might lead. I heard the whispers behind my back. I caught him in his lies. His silver tongue...

Imagine if the wind didn't blow anymore or the sun didn't disappear behind the mountains. Imagine if the barriers didn't exist, all free to enjoy what we have been given. Imagine if our wings had never been cut to be flying above our beliefs. Imagine if there were no soldiers to be sent to fight, no men death on the...

Closed off heart when you came around. Persistent you were with your primitive tongue. Sweet lies lined your foreign lips— Surprise. The soul wanted in and considered this. Red flags—waved in the wind. So many, but who was counting. Those who live long say ‘Life is Short’. I say— Adventure is a reward to the seeker who sought. No need to fear...

I. Wave the white flags Hold on! Wave them not until we strike the tents of the arch opponent Bent crooked like hell to cave in the rights of pent up souls, rent Who can fix them but one heaven sent? Blessed and crucified, dead and resurrected And all to fulfill the will of the father of light; That all men should repent II. Sleeping...
