Jaded Poems

Those Jaded By Love

No one in these days truly knows just what real love is,
Because they were once barely loved by unloving people.
Instead of trusting new people, they wrongly deem love as evil.

Of jaded muses and digital distractions - POTW

The allure of mused poems,
No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream

Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,
And sparks and dreams, 
Are ripped in the accretion disc.

No longer avid, but seeking meaning in the mundane.
No longer enraptured by

Through Jaded Eyes

Through Jaded Eyes you see the world, 
and everything in view.
But see you weren’t like this 
when I finally had found you.

It sucked you in, this monster, 
and it caused the world to pause.
It took our lives away 
when it had trapped us in it’s jaws.

I wish we could go back 
so we could do

Jaded Jade in the Jungle

Saw you cry cry cry and pout
No doubt...I don't care anymore
What are you crying about?
Can't you see I'm jaded to the core?

I hear people preaching about marriage
When they're married themselves!
No humility! Just overrighteous and like a miscarriage
Swallow your damn pride, sinful elves

Saw you weep, weep, weep bitterly
I feel God's windstorm repeatedly
Freedom in the Kingdom of

Jaded Holiday inn Frisco

Jaded holiday in Frisco ,
Where Paul Getty lost his marbles harbour

For a old dog tawg
Rumble a chick

Banjo medicine and black madness
Eager paws or void in of contempt

I can't roll dice at Coney island
Without a slow snow cone

Program for Rita ford
Or a lengthy draught of carpenter wood

Jaded

the older we get
the more quirks we acquire

the more it is that we’re unique
just like everyone else
but in our own special way

we’re guarded and we’re jaded
laden with all life had to throw at us

the longer we’re alone the more 
we’re set in our ways and less tolerant
we grow grumpy and short tempered 

we’re less open

Jaded

I gave you a fleur
watered it to the last
it weathered well in the summer air

The room swayed
and sank to its knees
our pillow talk
shrouded itself in mystery
there were no smiles
also no kisses
only the jaded sprout of bones

Jaded Edges

Jaded edges of despair
fowl your mood and taint the air.
For bleeding out shades of grey,
shadows wash color away.

Snagged on barbs of darkness,
smiles camouflage life's starkness.
And yet, such sadness and tears
offer no refuge from fears.

A cloak of best intentions
can't predict interventions.
And not readily noticed,
depression goes unnoticed.

So, if you fear you're alone,
step outside your comfort zone.
Allow God

Jaded

I am torn and worn,
Cracks and crevices cloaked,
Courage wearing thin,
Hope, listless and frail,
Saddled with unwavering troubles,
In sequential order.

Her Change of Heart

Deep in your eyes when my gaze flies i feel,
Sometimes rain sometimes a river speaking.
Sometimes a night whispers something so still,
And feel someone a man like me seeking.

Over the years some of the stars faded.
Some of the doors meant to open stood shut.
Some hope and dreams lay by the streams jaded.
words that I bled screamed

Jaded Blue

do you remember what it was?
before the night became our luck
before everything we had was jaded blue

I know we never meant to leave
but my thoughts cannot reprieve
the love I had, the things we'd do

what if I said I never knew?
what if I said the world was spinning on an axle made for you?
I drew a

Optimistic Youth, Jaded Age

Roll out a lifetime like a scroll
It stretches but only so far
And writing slowly fills the scroll
From left to right
And when the writing stops
The story is over

As a youth I thought it stretched to eternity
That each night I closed my eyes
I would awaken to a beautiful morning sun
But nowadays I sometimes wonder
If I've seen my

A Measure In Time - Conclusion

A Measure In Time - Conclusion 

I fault with mistakes; 
For we as humans were born this way. 
But, unfortunately, I turned it into an illusion; 
In this state of confusion, that wanted to stay. 

The wickedness that came:
As it broke in my door;
It ruined our design;
That isn't shared anymore. 

My love, though, deep a

In Youth, Our Eyes Are But Dark Jaded Spheres

In Youth, Oft Eyes Are But Dark Jaded Spheres

The Gods we adore in our youthful youth
Are just shadows we see before life's truth
In youth, oft eyes are but dark jaded spheres
That deny and guard against our deep fears
Wherein Life's stream veers in its steady flow
Bypassing so much mortals never know
As we journey into our fated

Jaded Spiked Green Grass-

a patch of bluegrass;
ponders extroversion hues;
spikes jaded green grass
