Inevitability Poems

Rant: Inevitability

Rant: Inevitability
by Michael R. Burch

This is a prophetic poem about the triumph of real poetry over its current poor imitation.

There is change in the wind; there is change in the sea
preternaturally strange with her myriad eyes—
stars mirrored in waves. Compelled by the moon,
whipped to foam, she is drawn into restive tides
rising and cresting as kestrels

The unbroken glass

Caution around that window, my friend!
What of it now?
It lets you see outside and reflects in.
What of it, then?
Some things once seen must be exhumed.
Why the fuss?
It musn't break for it is strong.
Strength will not cherish it.
It musn't  break for it will cut.
Blood trickles as tears.
It musn't break for it shows truth.
Truth outside will

The You That Waits at the End of the Path

You walk,
step after step,
through choices carved into dust,
through silence heavy with answers
you are not ready to hear.

You do not know where the road leads,
only that it calls,
only that turning back is not the same as stopping.

But somewhere ahead,
beyond the fog of doubt,
past the echoes of what could have been,
there is a version of you waiting—

The

Mad Hope

In illusory water
A lone man row unending
Following all Life's master
Working his hand's unyielding.

Time's a river that ever flows
Began before beginning
Forever a lone man rows
Flowing long after the end
Unbending he never bows.

Downstream lies the cruel currents
Knowing the final moment
Death awaits a man's lament


Hopeless be a man who fears
Dead man be one who he peers
End is nigh

Inevitabilities of Life

Can you feel the ever fading sun,
how the cold crawls over your skin;
dark strands combine at the edge of vision?
Can you hear their serene whispers -
fragile and tentative fronds of affection -
always beyond reach or comprehension?

For you shall see and know to be absolute,
an inevitable reaping upon this earth:
of love’s joyous symphonies once before
- as

The Inevitability of Happiness

Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.

In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.

The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.

Even the washing suds have gone sour,
worn out honeysuckle soap.
Vibrant bubbles now collapsed flat against the opaque water,
lying unseparated as waves
and

Old Bones

Old Bones

Now listen while I tell you of a fella that you’ll meet,
Who is older still than even time could be.
His grin is kinda big and kinda straight and kinda white - 
Kinda threatening – a mite unsavoury.

When it comes your time to meet him, it’ll only be the once ;
You will never ever get

Inevitability

Inevitability 
David J Walker

This is how I turned 20 
With plenty of time left to 
Opine its wastings awaiting 
The sun to set
	The weekend to come 
Christmas 
	Birthdays 
		Summer vacations that
Race past the calendars edge 

This is how I turned 30
Looking over a shoulder
	To see who is catching up
Who is making up 
	For past mistakes

Cold Embrace

Something happens when we accept our own defeat
There's confusion and silence ego trip wakens from sleep
Without knowing we abandon our plan to continue
Justifiably argued grandiose our opinions 
Even though there's a part clinging on to the truth
Snuffed with malice deniably wrapped in reproof
We ignore it in spite of the honesty seethed
Bringing shame to toughest of

Thoughts On Inevitability

Inevitability looms like the imminent sunset 
Beyond an unchanging bleak western horizon, 
Oft illustrated by those “death and taxes” 
More certain than next blood moon a’risin’. 
 
The lottery of life assures the loss of coin 
Before the aligning symbols outpour a lode 
Of silver and gold, or fortune unannounced 
Unexpected knocks at the door

Inevitability

No possibility to flee away
Death is sitting on every single path

No place to hide
Death is hidden everywhere

No opportunity to fly away
Death can fly speedy more than light

No life can save itself from the death
Death can imitate everyone and everything in every way

Inevitability

There’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
When the ghost of that figure stands by your side
Too late for repentance that time it has past
The last grain of sand has dropped in the glass
The time it is written there is no escape
From the skeletal figure in the long black cape

The clock has stopped ticking its

An Artists Inner-Demons

Neurosis imposes osteoporosis through Ouroboros like locusts
Focus is broken so just blitz like Germans in Poland
Anxiety lies to me and starts fighting me in 451 degrees
Mind exploding like Boeing 747 Max's with 157 casualties
Survival is a trial to lift my kind

Wallpaper's yellow, might be more mellow if you play the cello
Dog's not yellow, might go
