Or So Poems - Poems about Or So

Gold-lined pockets, silver spoons, Promised futures wrapped in runes. Gilded gates and marble halls, A name that echoes through the walls. Yet wealth is weight, a velvet chain, Shackled smiles, a life in vain. For what is gained if soul is sold, If warmth is lost to hands so cold? Not all that glitters warms the night, Not all who shine are bathed in...

Only a thousand years ago there was a thousand years to go. Tomorrow is an unreliable date, a note pinned to a dead body. If the less prejudiced mass of humanity turns to starry-eyed true-believers then unicorns may outnumber regular horse, penguins learn to fly and pigs fall from the sky. The impossibly possible made manifest. Nobody can say for certain. Reality may at last stop...

Where each minute is next than the worst But if in trueness deep love you are, You are so blessed and without a scar. Life is a ...

Insurmountable or so I thought So I began to shut down Eventually curling into a fetal position Procrastination wiped out possibilities Depression set in I looked at it as a mountain without steps There is no way, I thought I will have to quit my job I cannot do this! The more I verified this thinking The closer I got to full blown Incapacitation I...

You brushed my cheeks with your soft fingertips and I reached nirvana. I wish you knew; if you only knew your power! With one kiss upon my brow, you vanished... before I could open my eyes moons ago, about an hour or so. It's inexplicable this wicked spell you've cast on me. I can't seem to shake it! You've left me wanting so much more. Was it all a...

We Had Time, Eternity Or So We Thought We had time, eternity or so we thought days of sunshine, picnics in flowering fields. In life and in love, nothing more ever sought on and on, our raging love forever builds! We had time, eternity or so we thought. In life and in love, nothing more ever sought. We had time, eternity or...

A year or so from now, when you hear thunder in the sky, pretend it is me talking to you. Think of me, from time to time. Remember me, remember me. When a song plays that was one of my favourites, sing along with it for me. Sing loud and clear. I'll be with you. I'll be with you. Do not grieve for...

You're a mystery to me, a modicum of memory. I have your straight nose; your big, clumsy feet; Your dry sense of humour and stubborn streak - Or so I've been told. I know you loved history - dusty books left behind. I've heard stories about you, but they can't define Who you really were. I remember snippets of...
