Lasts Poems | Examples

Fake lasts

Only a fake flower doesn't die
No need to water plastic
Or give it sun
No need to care for it
It doesn't care

Only fake feelings live
Lies last forever
Truth has an expiry date
Before it gets boring

Nothing Too Beautiful Lasts Quite A While

These manly hands
have held another
image itched in eternal stone
looked on by an admirer
running through crowds:
feeling so lost and so alone! 

Nothing too beautiful lasts quite a while,
it has the fragility of a delicate, perfumed rose
soon to be snatched by a lover of ardent prose...
ready to conquer the wild eyes of sapphire! 

Any poet staring at that joyful, serene face
would write amorous verses that'll endure time,
even a painter wouldn't hide such a fine grace:
poetry and paintings carry souls into the sublime!  

Nothing too beautiful lasts quite a while,
if beauty is a display of delight to anyone:
we must preserve its image from forgetfulness!
not allowing it to fade away from self-awareness.

DEEP MESSAGE

A little boy asked me about the future...
I told him; 
It ends in the grave.
None wanna go sooner 
But it's the final destination for all.

Everything we're striving and thriving for
We'll live behind 
Then go to our future
Another world beyond 
To behold 
But through the grave.
In this life we come and we go
Nothing lasts forever.

Pray your next of kin
Don't waste all your efforts 
Everything you worked for.
Do everything within your power 
To leave a legacy behind 
That's what matters 
The only thing or reason 
People will remember you for, when you've gone beyond.

Summer Never Lasts

what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy 
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness

maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay


maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.



Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.

NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER

Unknown to mortals,
is the time to depart.
For it is short but insightful,
It is fast but impactful,
Life,
with them tears and laughs,
joy and sorrow,it is purely finite,
for both the early springs and the grey.

Nothing lasts forever

Updated previous poem in memory of my beloved beautiful brother.


Nothing lasts forever,
I don't believe it's true,
The love we hold
For those we've lost,
Stays with us through and through.

Nothing lasts forever,
I'm inclined to disagree, 
Memories linger in lifes mind, 
For everyone to see.

Nothing lasts forever,
That's what people tend to say,
Legacies are left behind 
They never fade away.

But some things last forever,
In heart and minds we find,
The love we have and memories,
We can never leave behind.

The passing of a loved one, 
The grief that breaks your heart,
The tears you shed through sadness,
Lost , alone and apart.

So use the love they gave you,
Relive what made you laugh,
Eventually peace will find you,
And guide you on your path.

Premium MemberNothing lasts

When things Fall apart in life 
I can only stay optimistic 
if just for another day 
because nothing lasts forever 
when it's our time 
you 
me 
end of life 
nothing is ever finished 
we move on 
into the Golden light 
to celebrate our flaws and imperfections 
with others like us 
because in our next life 
everything is in God's hands 
he mends us together 
how he sees fit

Poetry Lasts
It is forever
It is etched
in stone
and can survive anything
Life is impermanence
but Poetry is in a
class by itself
It survives,
is passed down
from generation to generation
The written Word
is solid
It enlightens your Soul
Brings you to
a higher plane
Brightens your days
and nights
Is immortal, everlasting
Blessed by the Muses

Premium MemberAs Long As Canto Lasts

I’ll be around as long as canto lasts.
The beat of drum, a naked blast of sweat.
My skirt, a round, chases the breathless casts
of oxygen - the faces red - oh my -
and so is mine. The passion fire. I sigh…
Of sticks and stones that create hate - my bones
do ache and amplify sensuous zones.
The opera, unusual, its drums
that speak of life and death - skull and crossbones.
When the fat lady rests, my heart succumbs.

Premium MemberYon Ever Lasts

My dear love,
Time, I hold dear, is time with you
With me, when you are not-... I'm lost 
You have been my sole one, 
And will be yon ever lasts 
I love you so much...
We are one, you and I 
And we are what deep love is 
On fast, the beat goes... 
By the hold of your hips 
By the feel of your lips 
And by the rubs of your toe tips 
Your hair on my skin is as soft as a swan 
Your eyes on me turn me on high
When you wink at me, I wink too! 
"I get pink" 
When we walk side-by-side, 
With your hand in mine...
It is like the rays of sun,  
And the moon in glow
When we kiss,  
Your warm heat is pure fire  
And you are my rock 
And you are my life 

My love, 
I love you... so much

The Only Thing That Lasts

The only thing that lasts the test of time is Love.
Love for our family and 
For our kin,
Love for our failures.
Even Love for our wins.
Love for the freedoms,
To do all that is right. 
Love for all the beautiful colors,
The spectrum runs vibrant and bright.
Love for our teachers,
They give out their tools.
To guide young minds,
And solve life’s real issues and duels.
Love for our planet,
mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, and streams.
The beauty of them holds so tight our wildest dreams.
Love for each other,
We have so much to give.
Love for the battles we fight for and eventually conquer and win.
Love for the journey,
Travelled in our life.
Love for our parents 
Who give of themselves through all of our strife.
Love for showing others everything we can be,
Without feeling isolated, restricted, forced to run and flee.
And love that we give away,
May God bless this miracle each and every day.

Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing lasts forever
Just be smart to make a restart & be clever
This phase shall pass too
Never cut your wings that made you flew

no one is with you
But don't be so hard on you

Don't be in despair anymore 
Try to find the direction therefore 
It's a long alone journey all
To connect the dots of your soul

Forever is a illusion
Don't be in any confusion

Forever is not forever.....

Where Love Lasts Longer

"Where Love Lasts Longer"

My world is blue 
and green 
I sleep within the 
blue 
I see through the 
green 
the dreams 
that follow me
overtake the 
black and white
bleeding into 
whitewashed gray 
within the inner 
portrait of me
the ruins 
they spray painted
covered in graffitti
the core 
like a diamond
remains 
from what 
they framed
the day of great
betrayal
hung on a wall
like flowers
to dry with 
the life sucked
out of me, flattened 
like a bad memory
pressed between
indolent pages 
the dreams 
that follow me
overtake the 
black and white
bleeding into 
whitewashed gray 
within the inner 
portrait of me
the core 
like a diamond
unbreakable
remains

My world is blue 
and green 
I sleep within the 
blue 
I see through the 
green 

eventually 
I awake from the dream
into another dream

where sentences are shorter
and love lasts longer
and the unwanted 
memories fade


(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)







“You are a diamond my dear, they can’t break you”.
