Limbos Poems | Examples


The Away

I do not speak their words.
They're full of clichés and ideas that will never truly form.
I have tried to bend my tongue that way,
But it twists and turns and limbos.

I know too little of their songs,
And I am a worshiper of familiar music that plays over and over and over.
The talker on the radio speaks for whatever—
I will never hear him again.

I am afraid of their prayers.
I cannot worship mine with foreign words.
Their cries carry nothing; there goes my empathy.
I am not from here.

I know something of my own,
And it is the language of people,
A people that walk and talk and cry and die.
My language does not break my lip.

Mine does not glimmer,
No million expressions; but has enough to convey a scream.
It bears with it an understanding of danger and desire.
It is easy because it knows something of difficulty.

Propane Sky

Full moon tempted by the calling of the night 
Shines brighter than glass on fire 
Invisible flames, such a sight 

Cover my eyes, colours me insane 
Bring your honour 
Not your pain 

Too young to look, too blind to see 
You smile with sins 
The lord said to me 

Must I live in good despair? I shot back 
He’s gone 
But Limbos walls begin to crack 

The lightening bugs glow through the sky 
Before the blackness comes 
With a heavy sigh 

Wake me up, not from sleep you once said 
Id scratch your surface
Till my fingers have all bled 


Sing not of virtues of what reflections show 
Daisies live in hot days
But will they last all through the snow?

Pile Up Nursing Home Saga

The mind not plummet with worries complain,
sign it all over, just what remains
sugar & symbols & lollypop limbos
smoothing all tredmarks, objections to wane!

Give all to descendents.
sign off with your name
to care place' imcumbents
who struggle your claim!

Phased then in one spectrum
lets cover it all
days craze resurrection
not needing console!

Yet no celebration
can merit this stall
in trust's aggravation
I fight for my gaul!

The prayer congregation
relinquish not call
senior admonition
from big pharm recall!
