Outnumbering Poems | Examples


Fatal Flaws

A fatal flaw is something
That is part of personality.
It's something that eventually
Destroys a person ultimately.

Everybody has
A fatal flaw.
For some it is freedom,
For others it's the law.

For some it is
Their darkest fears,
Like heights or growing old
And outnumbering friends in years.

Many men and women
Do not know the thing
That is their fatal flaw
Which will, to them, destruction bring;

Destruction that
May be physical,
Or just as well
Might be emotional.

Physical destruction
Is things like broken bones and death;
Emotional destruction
Is things like breathing Eternal Sorrow's breath.

Unlike most others,
I know my fatal flaw.
It isntpride or pain,
And isnt grudges or even problems with the law.

My fatal flaw is not
Common amoung those of villainy.
My fatal flaw
Is personal loyalty.

Which means I would sacrifice
Anything to save a friend,
Even if it would mean
I would have to meet my end.

Song

Days keep coming,
And days fly by,
Faster than clouds
In an April sky.
Kisses come
And kisses go,
Outnumbering all I know.

Light stays,
Shadows pass;
The sun's bright rays
Wave in the grass.
Songbirds sing,
Owls depart;
In the ring of my arms
My true love's heart.

Day's Last Light

Golden sunglow 
molten heat rises against slender shadows 
once flowering trees...
tall skeletons without their leaves 
their pink pedals once plush  
lost in infinite sands outnumbering stars dust 

Glowing white stratus melting like snow 
over miles everlasting where nothing shall grow
Distant grand canyons and red sandstone mesas
the sun harms the lost and faithless

The camel's path...ancient sandwriting
guiding its followers until saved 
the lost find thier grave
The day journey's slow the lost age quick
night promises an inviting gift
yet cool darkness seems true as myth 

When faith's kept and all is hopeless despite   
the odds the lost find solace in day's last light
