Lurking Poems - Poems about Lurking

What is lurking?
We use light to chase away the shadows hoping to protect ourselves from the unknown. Little do we know that hiding from them only allows them to become fully grown. We give them the gift of hiding, using our light to keep them at bay. We sit in ignorance. Little did we know there is a high price to pay. ...

Out Lurking
There's demons out lurking, The night terrors start. With God's wrath upon them, They'll quickly depart. Alone in the darkness, Shines only moon light, The people are sleeping, Not one soul in sight. There's demons out lurking, They're haunting our dreams. While tossing and turning, Only God hears the screams. The evil surrounds us, With each passing day. There's nowhere to turn, So God makes a...

Lurking Dimness
Sky above crimson and spotted like a lantern fly After the setting of the sun inspired to pull out a fan bush and dabble Hastily dash away at the canvas of its vexing black yonder Illuminated only by the faint flecks of the soul’s perpetual outer fortress Speckle happy trees to shield from the heaviness of invasive...

Idle Time Lurking
On idle days, the pointers of inspiration slow down... With nothing new on the front, life is slow too... I'm on the prowl waiting for events... I watch the sunrise, and the sun goes down to dusk... I watched the rain that didn't come, my distant love that didn't match me... I understood, then that no poem occurred to me, nor any poetry I wrote... I'm still on the...

Premium Member Lurking
He returned with peevish looks, a condescending demeanor, Vaunting as though his bones were made of rocks and his sinews of brass, bottled up acrimony burning from his bowels, A prideful face, and a visage adorned with rage, forty years of fury fueled from afar, none could tame the lion, cloaked with pretenses and false affiance...

A Lurking Shadow
How perfidious is it to hide, not to be found and be recognized for the values not revealed but shamefully being cast aside? How deplorable is it to renounce existing, refusing the crown of meekness, a life of peaceful days, of a lesser complicity and accept the glory of vanity... when feelings of betrail resurge, contesting the perception of loss beyond...

No Lurking Shadows
What is this strange place we find ourselves in, Trapped in the open, we are free within, Free from the troubles around, Free from the troubles that beset, We stand here unfettered and unchained, A pristine world where the future holds no fear for us, We are not saddled with a monstrous task, Our desires do not trample on others’ rights, No...

Premium Member Living With a Pandemic Lurking
The poem and poet merge on the page And the cruel pandemic has its presence Its nature strikes me with dark words of rage Death teases humankind unpleasantly Time's essence is so hard to understand Mighty nature sweeps down on all nations Disinfect your minds; sanitize your hands Dare I make a bleak interpretation? Masks adorn as they do at carnival Protecting cute noses...

The Blind Lad and His Lurking Prince
You know that I like you. It's crazy and childish. But I can't help myself staring you close. You're shining like glory! I'm so enlightened. But you might get blind. You see nothing between but your puzzle game Till you finally realize. I'd rather not talk Let's keep it for good A spill of tea for two Released the tabloid! We might fall in our mood. But it's okay to...

Lurking Darkness Sleep now my love, you have earned a great rest. It has been hard on you. It has been hard on us. There is still time left. They gave us days, you already proved them wrong. You are a warrior, equal… toe to toe with Sparta. They turned into weeks…and then months. See, “they”, the white...
