Look On Poems - Poems about Look On

The chains are still there you've just got to look closer

Stalked all their life 
Stained by a crime not committed 
A permanent mark on black skin
A reminder how we will never fit in
Labelled as criminals
Despite being exonerated 

Probation was for those in need of reformation 
Not those who already good behaviour 
But any chance to stereotype 
The oppressors will take their chance
To keep the invisible

What does it look like

It's always a battle,
Everyday is,
Always a battle,
Between life and death,

I forgot something,
I didn't check before leaving,
I didn't look before going,
Everyday's like this,

I didn't eat,I overeat,
I overslept, I under slept,
I haven't moved, yet I'm so tired,
Always like this, everyday is,


Incase you're asking,
What depression looks like,
It is like this,
Everyday is,

Look Back Look Back At Me

He said ' look back at me'
but she didn't want to see
so the conflict carried on
and events,  spiraled uncontrolled,  from day one

she had to move from home she loved
for the sake of parents, beloved
and when he struggled to find the words
her pride refused , his sense of worth

she thinks he's not responsible actions
but

Look at the womb of my mother

From the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I am flesh, made of bones and skin that can easily tare. That unhinged love is the most unconditional, I grow and deforme when all I do is obey. From the womb of my mother- I was born a blessing. While others see

     Sharp questions make me reassess
        my thinking’s illogical mess

     Look at things a different way
        False premises and conclusions slay

     Hit me hard where it really hurts

Premium MemberWhen I Look At His Picture

I kiss his bedazzling framed picture,
Every time, I miss my former mister.
I gently hold my own cheek imagining
How he used to do so in a way so endearing.

Look at the stars how they shine for you and I 
better learn to appreciate them before we die !
See the banquet of beauty God has created

Dappled in light heaven is our Sacred Window

Just One Look

There’s gray 
in my beard
but no gray
in my soul
Where Peter Pan
flies
Cherub’s wings
in control 

My edges
though silver
my center
of gold
One glance
never tells you
what prescience
— beholds

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

Look Closer

A calligraphy, a veined post-script
for the rusty sheen of mortality.
Behold the dying and the replenishing,
the glory of the shedding and investing.
All this upon a forest floor.

Premium MemberTaking A Look Inside

Should a man dare to look within?
Search secret places of hidden sin?
The lack of which could be exhilarating,
But those long loss, debilitating.

Even those revealed can be a gift,
Confession, forgiveness, they could give a lift.
Or an insight into his authenticity,
Could open his eyes that he might see.

Through the illusion, that’s led him astray,
Guiding him back to

When he said

The gelatintion of used
 and fry grease waste.
fry your catfish in me
fry your chickens bay-bay
them potatoes fry crisped and all
grease slatting on the wall
shrimps and zuchinni too
baking soda doughnut
fried up too
then when it starts to stink
and the porkchops come out pink
sprinkle in the soldifier hardener
and that old grease
is ready for the trash can
when the potaos

The Look In Loves Eyes

The day seems so right,
then comes the dark night.

Love brings happiness,
and the loss sadness.

Mothers raise their young,
the rest left to Jung.

The news sells the lies,
for the lord of flies.

The look in loves eyes,
when grey turns blue skies.

For life is the lure,
and death... is the cure!

The dance is over just look at the time

I have a dance
And so do you
So we could dance together

My heart a hole
For you to fall
Losing all your feathers

I can’t breathe the air of death
Without the tangle of our mess
Kisses of the black hole kind 
Loving, hugging and making us blind

Make us hungry make us sad
Promise to make my world so glad
But when I

Premium MemberA Look at Life


Look at life as an excursion.
Here, you stop, there you learn;
there you pick up a wife,
then a kid or two.
Then you run out of gas.
You look back and say:
“Damn, how did I go so far 
on so short a road so fast?”
