Languish Poems - Poems about Languish

Wasted Crown
I have seen the destitute in their health and company, More joyful than a lonely king languishing on his throne: On his deathbed, you see him defeatedly lay, With not a single reason to stay. His cure wasn’t served in a golden chalice, And his gloomy prison was his mighty palace. Nor...

Grass...

I Will Languish
My heart has these many dwellings such dead cold cautionary tales long disregarded and condemned. And then there is this secret palace eclipsing all true loves desolation where deep resides your essence. A rapture of all your many graces this mansion of your many riches this residence of many memories. And then there is your portrait it hangs formidably in the great hall duchess over all...
