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

 Nature seems to languish in winter
 Trees bare it all as snowflakes fall
 Bird fly south to warmer climes
 Yet all hope is not lost
 Spring will renew their
 Splendor and glow
 Birds will sing
 Dulcet
 Songs

in a dungeon of grief she used to languish.
her much beloved dog succumbed to cancer;
she got another sooner than expected -

            but just how low it is

“New love is a fresh breeze, but when it leaves unexpectedly,
it knocks the wind right out of you.” By author of this poem

Languish

Now sick from love, I languish here,
and rarely do I leave my bed.
I never thought a simple tear
that for that guy I’d ever shed.

He wore me down with charming ease.
Now sick from love,

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

In languish sleep, so went her fate
through loveless marriage, mired in hate.
Soft-spoken words that now chastise
his world, of stranger’s scents and spies;
gold, traded for some silverplate.

Just once forbidden fruit she ate
her endless strangled passions sate
she made this bed on which she lies
in languish sleep.

Suspicions she dared not set straight
this is a world she did create;
where

The cry of the cockerel before dawn,
The overalls she wears are all torn.

The weight of the hay bale,
The sound of the crow’s wail.

The sight of another fence down,
Only 4 eggs today Mother will frown.

The cat giving birth to yet another litter.
Taste of the poor, sick cow’s milk is bitter.

The well’s water level is very low.

“Three, 300, or 3,000 - these are the number of unknown days, each far too little and yet too much at the same time, to see an irrevocably declined loved one languish and suffer, with that bittersweet release lingering in the doorway, but never quite being sent all the way in, to comfort and carry

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
