Onslaught Poems - Poems about Onslaught

Premium MemberOnslaught

A center stage of flood light probing,
      desperate living in a murderous onslaught 
war's naked inhumanity
          sky tearing rockets, a pinpoint rage
casualties that define a battlefield
carnage that sticks to history
joyless existence for those flash-blinded by fear

Torturous nightmares of hellish anguish
Make soul drowned in agony to languish
Torments’ onslaught disturbing blest silence
Dreadful lamentations God can vanquish.

Midst attacks of guilt heart strives to conceal
Frustration-wails reign midst hopelessness’ peal
Driving me to hide in the Lord’s chamber
Serenely safeguarded by His love-seal.

Fleeing from perilous temptation darts
Faith seeks refuge* in the Saviour’s ramparts
Hedged by grace, compassion, mercy

Onslaught

Hey, I like Fast cars, I've lived agood life, wand the worst life like the one your waiting for.
 Time to grow up, be a man now the perfect life knocking at your door. It's just waiting for you.

I've been working on myself since seventeen  
Medicated on prozac xanax and clonidine first before I

Finally home, cheers, hugs, kisses abound
My head throbs, but the fierce rage I contain
On hair-trigger alert, my inner storm starts to pound
As a good soldier, I've learned to take the pain
Family and friends are strangers somehow
Their laughter and words sound rehearsed and staged
Their eyes betray fear of who I am now
In their lives I can

Grief comes uninvited, like a marauder,
like a one man army charging,
he makes an unexpected onslaught.
A thief in the dark who comes stealthily,
without pausing to seek permission
and settles in the heart like an intruder

His stay is long and tedious.
He eats away our vitality,
sups on our vulnerability,
sucks our life sap and fattens on our gloom.
Like a tenant

The crowbar rattled at the clattering noise,
In the yard, against the hulls and hoys,
A Cloud of tar smoke rose through the green,
Large oil slicks floating on the lake sheen.

Inconsistent hills throughout the landscape,
The sunlight was a deep purple color shape,
Similar to the finishes of Florentine bronze,
That's it for the day, no real swans.

Overwhelming sadness now

once begun, it should be carried out thoroughly#

Facing thought onslaught,
lower mind begot,
we struggle and grieve
but get no reprieve.

Our desire thought's cause,
which we put on pause,
choosing to be still,
that voids within fill.

Body has it's need,
so dark desires breed
propelled by ego,
we're loathe to forgo.

Moments of silence,
sans thought violence 
are when joy seeps in,
pulsating within.

We remain alive
and in-form nodes jive,
more so when thoughts cease,
in a

Premium MemberLast Onslaught-

In the aftermath 
Some like It some not 
In the forefront 
The beginnings are not 
The end   is not 
First be at the first is last onslaught

Lyrical Onslaught

This is my lyrical onslaught
I can fill up a page of rhymes from just one thought
I pick up the pen and put it to the page, then begins a strong force
As I start my lyrical onslaught 

By the time this ends I'll have blood on my hands from making the pen bleed 
I'll go to
