Once In A While Poems - Poems about Once In A While

I look from my window— the city is silent and serene. I give another glance: the light of bulbs moves slowly through the twilight night. Suddenly, the uproar of parasite cars breaks the seamless silence, conspiring against the beauty born of that celestial scene. The wondering, waning moon— like a besought fortune— shy and quiet, approaches me. Enchanting, she whispers: Take my light and ignite the darkness within. ...

My thoughts walk barefoot on gravel roads—aching, slow, and scattershot. My mind drifts like dusk in worn linen—frayed, faded, and folding in on itself. My mind, grown tired of its tidy metaphors, slumps like a clerk at closing hour—unnoticed, necessary, numb. My brain, vast as prairie land at sunset, lies fallow—dreaming the hush between thunderclaps. My brain has taken...

I’m back once more. I spent a long night contemplating which people to remove from my life, the ones who drag me down. It’s time for a transformation in 2026, a chance to relieve the pressure in my chest. Like a Maidenform bra that left an imprint, What a relief it is to let them go....

I once contemplated suicide, But only if I couldn’t have you by my side, Reading my eulogy, shedding a few tears is nothing compared to the endless ocean before my eyes, we are given this one life, Lord will you accept my apology before I do the deed? Will you embrace me the way I’ve left...

This POTD is dedicated to Di11y Da11y who spoke the truth and paid the price! to the unheard poet you weren’t driven away you moved beyond them _______________________ Once upon perdition The apostate looked out his window, and started to believe As genuflecting pylons sent ramifications through the trees Chaos questioned reason, hoping for a guilty plea but the world was too...

Fragments of a house foundation blacken by the fire. Never rebuilt empty lot nice size Good shade tress and high grass Potential promising Did a child perish here? People once resided Old swing set rusting Not long before it falls the wind sways the swing seat clanky cracky sound from old long chains Half a peach tree left from lightning strike years ago. Blossoms bud on tender twigs of...

Everyone loves him. A nice amicable guy, as he is no relative, he is no refrain. He starts within a rhythm when often a melody is surreal and soars along the flight of the song, up high, high above, where God knows everything about eternal time, beyond the worldly cacophony and hustle and bustle....

According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires. Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis- couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls. In order for them they to...

ONCE AGAIN Once again, we cry; Again, a nation apart. Our togetherness has run dry, Whitered like a broken heart. Division kisses oneness goodbye, And once more and again, we cry. Greatness is in being together; Together, no matter the weather:- Once again, we must sow onement; Reaping a oneness that is God sent. ...

I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more, To kiss your hand, to pass the burn of my lips kept from times long past, When moments scattered and became a past that left us still dreaming, And if I could hold you in my arms again, to feel your cheek...

I once lost my thought on the paths of time, like a wandering cloud in the ever-changing sky, but I found it chained between the pages of a memory, where moments weave garments of longing, on the road of life, I wandered with my heart full of desires burning like stars in the deep night, and in the...
