Ghastliness Poems | Examples


Premium Member A Hunger Unfed

“When the heart desires what it can't possess
There lie's a hunger that’s never fed.”Quote - Poet's own
I hungered for love a long, long time
Love that bestows life beauty and rhyme 
To relish feelings of happiness 
Rather than horrendous ghastliness.

For joyous is what life’s meant to be
Contentment peace and tranquility 
Home is where the heart lives, it is said
Where one can sleep soundly in their bed.

Not so when one’s world is retarded
Making sure every word is guarded
Unable to explore what’s in store 
In the world that’s outside one’s front door.

A sad childhood stunts the inner growth
Emotionally, mentally, both
Alike a bird that’s trapped in a cage
Never allowed to have centre stage.

That is how it is and was for me
Till I grew up eventually 
Then I met my love and we got wed
So now I don’t have a hunger unfed.

You Made This

We have seen
every ghastly act
and recorded it.
Grisly deeds
yellow in vaults no longer.
Tyrannosaurus Rex wakes
in a drop of amber.
A towering ghastliness
roams free
on a darkening Net.
Cell phones
replay the daily holocausts
over Cocoa Pops and OJ.
Evil has friends on Facebook,
The commonplace
entertains the unspeakable
as if it were merely
an eccentric uncle.
The unborn and the born
are killed legally
culled like baby seals.
On the other hand
the import and export 
plague business is thriving.

Have a forcking nice day
America.

Whispers

Whisper to the whistling wind the wistful worries of the day
For she is sister, tightly twined to smoke that winds and floats away.
All that I confide is lost, adrift, a cloud upon the air
That flows a distance still uncrossed and stirs a shroud of silken hair

And stirs a shroud with soft spoke dreams, I hope find a kindly ear
I speak aloud the heartfelt reams my heart cannot speak for fear
For fear of what I cannot tell, not even to the night
For all the words that rose or fell, have never eased my plight

I whisper to the emptiness, the wide and wild sky
I breathe out all the ghastliness the smoke that stings my eye
But those who to the wind confess, shall ever be dined
Whatever love they might profess, is second to their pride
