Mortals Poems | Examples

One Soul, Two Mortals

VERSE 1
If love can fly like a dove,
It will find peace in your heart.
There flows the fountain of love,
So never let it depart.

CHORUS
True love surely spreads wide wings,
Hate makes it fly far away.
My queen, take me as your king,
Hear my plea, I gently pray.

VERSE 2
A garden for my rose plant,
It blossoms with joy and peace.
Its sweetness none can recant,
For it tastes pure, sweet bliss.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
We’re one soul though two mortals,
The mirror showing me joy.
Your heart and mind are portals
To love that will never cloy.

VERSE 3
Whatever song my heart sings,
It’s for your love to hold me.
Save me from the pain life brings,
Set my heart forever free.

REPEAT CHORUS TILL FADE

One good fall

Pride it is said goes before a fall
A fall may not be fatal 

One good fall could be a blessing in disguise 
For It could signal a new beginning 

It could portend a second chance
It could also be a learning phase

When you skip and fall
As mortals sometimes do

Take stock of the pitfalls 
Get right up on your feet 
And be on the march again!

Memories fade

As Memories dim and fade
Past favours are forgotten

Ingratitude breeds envy and jealousy 
And promises of love till death 

Made under the heat of the moment 
Fade and are forgotten 

Emotions take flight under new guise
Beautiful memories of years past

Dim and diminish as cognitive health wanes
For Humans are just mere mortals

They have a beginning and a definite end
Put your trust in God for 

He is dependable and reliable 
He has no beginning and no end

The Alfa and Omega 
The God of yesterday today and forever

Due to Mortals

Green, gold, gray, old, from thence they pass away.
And from the dawn, the night is cast,
What's due to mortals falls at last.

ANGELS AND MORTALS

A thin line separates  
These two creations divine;  
One guided by grace
The other lost in time.

Mortals tread with weary hearts
Bound by earthly chains
While angels soar on wings
Above skies weeping with rain.

Both shrouded in mystery
Sharing a trace of history;  
Mortals seek eternity
Angels guide them gently.

A delicate line divides 
One follows a sacred plan
The other, on a quest
Chasing fleeting ambitions.

Three Sisters Who Hated Mortals

Medusa, Stheno and Euryale were threats to each other.
Their mother had to caution them to use their snakes wisely.
Typical sisters, there was much hissing, spitting and biting.
Their sitter had her hands full as their snakes were venomous.

Why did the gods give you snakes instead of hair? She lamented.
Gaze into my eyes! Medusa said to the sitter, her sisters laughed.
They knew what would happen, and of course it did.
The sitter was turned into stone, like all of the neighbors.

Mortals

Here we mortals turn to stone
By our hardened hearts
And callous disregard 
For each other and our planet

Let us embrace our humanity
And melt the hardness and tar
That holds us down and immobilised
That keeps us from freeing our souls

Imagine the light that burns deep within
It's inside you and ignites your soul
For you are starlight and stardust
The Universe's magic untold

Here we mortals can illuminate
The dark abyss and limitations
When we remember our true forms
Greater than humanhood bred or born

Let us embrace our divinity
And free the bonds for all to feel
So that we can rise higher and incandescent
Collectively beyond the present

Chants of Mortals

Chants of Mortals

From the first cry out of the womb like a bay window
Life presents a combat zone
Though maternal and puny
The soul knew it was an eternal race

Tick-tack, tick-tack the race began
Moments in life unfolds like a lotus 
Laying hold on the peduncle of hope
Each day breeds disquietude

From a child, to the springtime of life, to the withering age
Birth with unbeatable potentials 
A time of unrest and a time of peace 
A time of defeat and a time of victory
Embodies the vulnerabilities of life until the final breath

Substandard

"One who meditates of death, has disguised his life as one.
One who meditated of death, in order to disguise, knows life."

- "Should I meditate of life then?"

You probably will be 'living death'

(P.s. explanation - 
A layman who thinks of nothing but death, and has the essence of it to his very depths, has, ofc, known his familiar friend, 'life'
So he does, cause he has lived and lives of life and want none. Even so, he lives to the fullest. While trying to escape to a place where no human soul has ever reached, he simply traces the paths of knows. Doing so, unconsciously makes a futile attempt of disguising his living into that of death while he actually, indeed, turns to a mortal.)

Among Mortals

save those tears for the solitude of night
alone in your cold little widow’s bed
when gates open to memories flowing

still shellshocked by the emptiness
of his love suddenly gone

taking comfort in knowing
how it went down all so perfect
in every detail of every moment

how he slipped into the next life
like he was taking off a coat

with dignity and grace
because it didn’t fit anymore
stoic and brave

ready
after all
he was the olympian

ambassador in the first canadian team
tel aviv world paralympics
it was the summer of 1968

today they draped his body
with the national flag
as they carried him away

we stood in awe
saluting our last memory
out the door into forever

and now here lies the olympian
among mere mortals
at the foot of mount olympus

the man
the legend

Ready To Die, Prepare To Live

The road to heaven is before us
It is not difficult to find
It is enshrined in the word of God
Jesus is the way, the truth and life
And so we should not be frightened where we are going to
He is with us
If we put our trust in Him death becomes a comma and not a period
It is a debt that awaits all mortals
It is a path all mortals must thread
Because it is strewn with fear and trepidation
Man keeps wishing it away
Man must live every day as if it were his last
If we are prepared to die
Then we are prepared to live
Cause dying young or old does not matter
What matters is the grace to live hereafter
A good man may die young yet be satisfied with living
A wicked man is not satisfied even with long life
If we are ready to die, then we are ready to live!

Lord What Fools These Mortals Be

"Lord what fools these mortals be!" Wm. Shakespeare

I hesitate to be on the same page,
with I the greatest poet of the ages,
but I believe his words to be true now, 
fools gathering when it is not allowed.
 
The fools don't care who they put in danger,
be it a love one or perfect stranger,
they have no conscious when told to stay home,
as out in the streets they carelessly roam.

So, the only way to make them comply,
big fines, long jail time, government should try,
in order to flatten the virus curve,
and help all the caregivers who serve.

If I am wrong and callus so be it,
remember the curve top we have not hit.

Two Mortals Found Each Other

Two mortals found each other... and became one.

A lifetime together...it seemed we  just begun.

With a love so fine... it is a  certainty...

We will meet again...in  eternity

Divine Mortals

Never have I had fear for flying darts
My tingling thoughts of the world was weird
Many told of nature's hard hazards
Beauties I saw instead of dirties

So was my heart as a dove
Peaceful in a world full of fools
Like sunshine in sneaky shadows

No damnation I saw possible until that occasion 

The first pain and I felt deeply-destroyed
Scattered and shattered like wild wind
Caged in red-rage I roared "betrayal"
And so I kept my territory terrorizing every threatening tare

Until the rainy day at the bar
A galaxy, a group of glitters I could not deter
In varying robes, different sizes and heights

To and fro they laughed in ecstasy 
For me breathe ended, for with them my rage was for a wait
All I could believe was that the divines were here and near

The word "angels" seem to appeal
They were perfect and I gave my seal
You may be mortals but you're my divines
Nights and days with them now and all I see are divine mortals.
