Live With Poems | Examples

some days

the floorboard that gasps when stepped on
the blue bulb pulsing in an amber-lit room
the coffee stain colonizing your blue shirt—
some days, we’re nothing but
a tiny inconvenience

sharpen a pencil too far—it snaps
gargled too long, you swallow by accident
sending flowers too early—
some days, we’re nothing but
the clock that limps or leaps

some days, we are
the red shirt always missing—
until we bleed into everything

CRUELTY

I've been in a city
In this city
They won't let you grow 
Even when it's your time to flow
They're always against your glow
Steadily wanna make you slow 
Always wanna keep you low.

People ride against good
Then protect wrongs
Feeling stronger 
By hurting another 
Laughing and bullying 
Taking advantage 
Whosoever is simple and live with humility.

The less privilege 
Their preys
Steadily taking advantage 
Of the poor and powerless 
They Wanna be God
They're so ruthless 
Even when them got weaknesses.

When Will I learn to Live with no Regrets

This house is crowded 
I've run out of space for my bones
The way the passage of time is etched into my skin
I've lived an eternity in a year
All the rooms are packed with memory
Once my heart was on fire
I left thoughts like ashes and dust to the cracks they're settling in
Growing tired of my world burning down in front me
I decided to become the flames

Premium MemberLive with Encouragement

There is a special place inside you
Where the heart speaks tender words

Dear friend if you fear you cannot write
Remember there is nothing more perfect
or beautiful than the natural melody and
rhythm of the soul when it speaks.

I Pray that all of us can look deep,
within our memories of family and loved ones,
remember those beautiful moments shared
those growing times of love.

I fear we may forget them if we never rekindle
and stir those choice moments within.
Write your testimony of them
and let your heart guide your way.

Make your journal and grant yourself 
the sustinence your Father in Heaven 
seeks for you.

These moments will give you courage having earned
in times of your afflictions.

Keep them close to you by your bedside.
A story of success and virtue, a story of reality,
special by you.

THE LIES WE LIVE WITH

Free, we say
For we can loot
From our states' coffers
Just to fall prey of their offers

Free, we say
For we can divide ourselves
Through invisible ethnic lines
Evidently a theatre for their muse

Free, we say
For we deceive ourselves
That our leaders we select 
Do we know the inside of ballot boxes?

Free, we say
Yet in their pockets
We graze, their eternal puppets
What makes us free?

Our happiness they determine
Plan how we breathe
Being led by a white cane
For through their eyes we see.

Premium MemberI've Learned To Live With Perfection

Nobody's perfect but I'm pretty close
Don't usually brag about my prowess
But sometimes I just get so overwhelmed
My enthusiasm for me is boundless

You may be annoyed by my constant bragging
But when you're as perfect as me
It's almost impossible to let it go unnoticed
Must share my perfection with thee

It's sure not all fun and games living up to
Such standards I've set for me
Got no one to blame but my own desires
For impressing all you ladies, indeed

Afflicted by charm and stunning good looks
All my life, it's been quite a struggle
Living up to the standards I've set for myself
But I've really tried to stay humble

I am what I am, there's no changing now
I've learned to live with perfection
Not everyone's able to handle such a burden
It's a serious incurable infection

(WHAAAAAT?)

Premium MemberHow Can You Live With These Creatures

there were yellow cats in Willow's sinks, gray cats on the stairs
Cats in the kitchen, next to the frig, you were caught unawares
kittens in the pantry, an old gray tom on the stove.
they spilled out of the windows into the large apple grove.

how can you live with all of these creatures? her mother said.
An withered old hair-sparse tabby hissed at the woman’s head.
Her daughter laughed and said “Don’t mind old Red.”
Then she began opening tin cans, for she kept her creatures fed.

They ran in from the stable, they ran in from the barn.
Hearing that tin open, brought them in from balls of yarn.
They fought and spit and snarled as they fought over their cat food.
Putting Willow's outraged mother into a worse more angry mood.

The Curse I Live With

If someone tells me stuff I would rather not know about, 
I can not unknow what it is about,
Others seem to have no trouble forgetting what it is about,
And denying any knowledge about,
With not even a passing thought about,
What to do about what they should not know about,
And would rather not know about. 

That leaves people cursed like me looking to see if there is a whistle about,
That can be blown when nobody else is about.

I Wanna Live With You Only

I wanna live with you Only

I wanna live with you Only
Wanna sing the songs of trust with you only
Wanna hear the cries of birds in skies with you only
Wanna stroll with you in the hot sand of Florida with you only
Wanna smile with you on track breaks with you only
Wanna cry in your bossum when my boss insults with you only
Wanna fly around the countryside with you only
Wanna eat the fresh produce of new season with you only
Wanna see the new movies on each Friday's with you only
Wanna have coffee on Mr beans restaurant with you only
Wanna cry over my spilled coke on my shirt with you only
Wanna call you from my office from a busy day You only

Premium MemberLive With Adventure

Jazz fingers snapping
Jazz wants to live
Live in the moment 
live in tranquility 
Tranquility is home
tranquility doesn't break
Break chains
Break free
Free spirits dancing 
Free love enhancing 
Enhancing change
Enhancing man
Man equal power
Man equal strength 
Strength in numbers 
Strength to carry on
On mountaintops
On fighting wars
Wars on the minds
Wars on the hearts
Hearts is not a game
Hearts heal the land
Land of wolves 
Land of peace 
Peace be God 
Peace be you
You need to live 
You need to fly
Fly to a different world 
Fly jazz
Jazz kisses hearts
Jazz is good with your coffee
Coffee warms the soul
Coffee takes the stress out
Out for stability 
Out for the blues 
Blues is a symbol of madness 
Blues has no inventor 
Inventor of beauty
Inventor of the galaxies 
Galaxies are instruments 
Galaxies tell stories
Stories about angels 
Stories about adventures 
Adventures bend the minds
Adventures create  possibilities
Possibilities to breath 
Possibilities to dream 
Dream
Breath

Premium MemberTo Live With the Virus

An action to fight the virus
After a long long war
Maybe is to live with it
Some people invoke our interest in 
Living with the virus
Before something else besides SOP
Can be done
Just like you live with your loved ones 
Although they are not perfect 
Just like you have to face your enemies before
They repent and renew themselves
God love everyone and He has given him
The right to have the best choice
And to every choice
There is a consequence

Let's Learn To Live With Pain

Is it possible to live
            in this world without pain...!?
            Painlessly...!?
            No... but we can
            build fortresses
            with pure feelings
           to understand and learn
           the need for learning...
           learn to accept and have power
           to mitigate this pain while we live 
           because everything belongs
           to the whole of what life is,
           and live together.
           it's needed...

Don'T Fear Death - Live With Joy

I was having a vision every time I went to bathroom
I am falling dead
Just didn't know what to do
Prayed to God for a solution
next day heard a distant relative of mine passed away
She fell in bathroom
Maybe it was meant for her.
That image disappeared

Now I am getting a new vision everytime I go to bathroom
Dead body floating in front of me,
Face clear but I don't know the person
Totally upset with this thought for past two days
Mind in turmoil, not able to work with jest

Today finally I decided
I will repose faith in God and stop worrying
What is the maximum that can happen
I might die
Isn't death inevitable, one day it will surely come
Let it come early 
Maybe I will fall and hurt myself, become bed ridden
In that case the same God who gives problems will provide a solution
Let me have faith in him
I am mentally prepared to accept all that may come
I feel peace now

Oh! How much man fears the inevitable?
Death is always lurking around, comes suddenly
We don't think of it so it is manageable
