Peirce Poems | Examples


The Cross

I've Been carrying a Cross,

Built over the years.

Constructed by,

My Burdens and Fears.

Its dragging behind me,

Within this perfect design.

A crucified Mind,

Tries to Realign,

I was running blind.

Tears fill my eyes,

Myself I Brutalize.

The GOD inside Cries,

When I've fallen down,

And heavy thoughts,

Peirce my crown,

Thorns all around.

The trumpets Sound,

There's no Time now.

Get off The Ground,

Plow Ahead,

You're not Dead.

Dreading what's been said,

Rejected,

I raise my Head.

A Proud Man covered in red.

The Past is being Reflected,

Just as expected.

Nailed to the Tasks at Hand,

I do what I can,

To understand,

My part in the Plan.

Awaiting the Command,

I feel it Sinking in.

Blood soaked land,

Covers where I stand.

The thorn in Their side.

The Time is at hand,

I rise, Unified.

Letting it all go,

Giving into the Flow.

Now Becoming Whole,

Seeing my true potential.

Life is sequential,

And The Cross,

Was only Mental.

Heart In Birdcage

To the man with the key,

The tall slanky man has the key to the lock,
A large rusty lock attached to my cage,
Release me, Release me, Release me,
He unlocks my cage with his key, his words,
Set me afree, into a locked cage I pour,
Release me, Release me, Release my heart in birdcage,


My heart in birdcage aches,
Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage,
His words peirce, his key twists,
Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage, Unlock my heart in birdcage,


I thought I was set afree,
He told me that he loved me,
Need me, Need me, Need me,
I can't escape the cage,
His heart is filled with rage,
Need me, Need me, Need me,
Now I understand, he cannot release my heart, for he is me,


Release me, Release me, Release my heart in birdcage,

James

I am sorry that I'm here again,

God! William, how did you do it?
Is it narcissistic, to want to leave?

You're like a Charles Peirce to me.
How did you get through the year?
"If he could do it, so can I."
I tell myself when I get scared.

But I can't do this anymore.
I'm not trying, you say?
I'm tired, it's not worth it.
I'm losing, like, everyday-

Will I call this a win? Will, trust me-
I really want to stay, I really want to stay!
It's winter solstice now, time's almost up,
Till Thanatos comes and takes me away.

Hey Macaria, can we reschedule?
Is it narcissistic, to want to live?

I think I'll stay till it ends.

On the Rocks

what candle pressed against the wind
a winding trail unfolds 
down the cliffside 
into the storm
where a treasure lies to behold
a thousand jagged teeth
Peirce the roiling spew
a promise of paradise 
the desperate never knew
and down the cliff should you falter
lose your balance and fall
in hopes of happy ever after
soon never after all

The Sleep Vampire

Silently creeping in
to my mind

the Sleep Vampire awaits
Awake and aloud

Ready
to suck me into sleep

As I struggle
Snuggle
into the dark blankets
hiding

Saying Go away!
to memories
that I don't know how to say
Go A WAY 
I don't want to see you
I told you

Vividly I close my eyes
Trapped
With the flashes that peirce through my eyelids

it is two loud!
voices talking
at the same time
I am tired
and why I am sucked
into the Sleep Vampire

Pierce My Coffin

Peirce My Coffin
I don’t care anymore
You broke my heart once more
You left me there
There to slowly die
But i was already dead
On the inside
You didn’t just break my heart
My soul is gone too


So let me lay to rest
In the only bed i have left
Let me sleep in this coffin
To slowly leave this place
But you made your choice
To hurt me again
So go right ahead
Peirce my coffin


You told me to die
But you still don’t understand
I was already dead
You just over killed me
My heart got ripped out
But you were the one to rip out my soul
You had so deep into me
The one life i had left
Now it’s gone and i have no one left
You were the one that i thought was the one
But now i’m gone…
All gone


So let me lay to rest…
In the only bed i have left.
Left me sleep in this coffin
To slowly leave this place
But you made your choice,
To hurt me again
So go right ahead

The Sick Feeling

Shards of glass
Peirce the depths of
My stomach.
Exposing the reality
Humanity,
Vulnerability,
Of
Life.

S-I-N

you don't make up for your sins in church
you do it in your heart and you do it in your home
you do it at your altar and you do it all alone
S-I-N
slaves
inside
nomansland
on a sinking slaveship sinking in quicksand
pulled into hades by a million hands of hate
purified through fire in a fiery lake
no exit
no escape

S-I-N
syringes
injecting
narcotics
the past comes to life,the switch flips to psychotic
infected with fear and injected with hate
shaken and stirred like hurricanes,twisters,and devastating earthquakes
killers kiss and seal up fates
watch stops
can't wait
the devil on his throne seethes and salivates

S-I-N
stuck
in
nets
struggling to break free from the spiders web
darkness and death disguised by sweet sexy smiles
bloody fangs peirce my soul as i walk my last mile
end of the trial 
the judge with the grudge swings the gavel
the sentence gets passed and my mind unravels
the jury of fury just points,pokes,and laughs
"you'll pay for your sins"
"you've had your last chance"

S-I-N
stretched 
into
nothing
no letters no love
no more to the story...

Where Is He?

Falling to the ground, ducking my head.
Seeing friends in a mound, all of them dead.
Bombs burst, killing more.
Living is a first, in this hellish war.
Bullets hit, there dreaded victim.
Bit by bit, we hate the system.
Rifle shots, peirce the air.
We're just robots, disposed of without a care.
Where is he, the president?
He's not fighting besides me, thats what i meant.
Sitting back, in his comfy chair.
While we attack, the pain he does not share.
Why I ask, myself silently.
Just a mask, they are so greedy.
What is there task, surely not help the needy.
Where is he, not here.
This pain kills me, I fall another tear.
This hellish war....
I am no more.

My Shield

Each day I'm learning,
Turning my back on sin. I know this angers
satan when his darts peirce not this soul. 
I have a shield that's strong and true,
not even my sin can pierce.

Each day I'm growing,
eating GODS word indeed. The darts that come 
are aiming but never strike me out. I have a
shield that's strong and true, 
not even my sin can pierce.

Each day I have a hiding place,
ona rock, in a heart, behind my shield.
No dart can reach me in this place
though it may knock me down.
I have a shield that's strong and true,
not even my sin can pierce.
