Perturbing Poems | Examples

Despair

Now you've gone
you've turned out to be wicked,
with some useless air
you are in highbound despair
At the verge of high  emotion
you confound your tenses
on a merry go round 
please find your own way
perturbing  on the cheap
isn't very lifesize
Allow the setting Sun
to be your guide
Feeble as ever
who will ever set you free

God Meant Sins To Prevent

what will be theory
times have been sad and dreary
they could be cheery

what is perturbing
politician disturbing
we must be curbing

what God would have meant
sinning will always prevent
do need His consent

what they had inferred
things will become untethered
that should be detered

Navigating Through Life's Highway

Hurdled is life’s highway to every milestone:
Detours, traffic woes~ impediments to goal,
Perturbing in hindrances that endlessly groan 
Searching exit ramp to soothe anguished soul.

Though memories of yore, of pain bemoan, 
Benevolence of today vows to mold morrow,
Prodding fate of future~ opaque, unknown,
Defying grievous intents in ill-will of sorrow.

Wished for earnestly, life is a cherished dream,
An exuberance of spring, of burbling stream,
A meaningful exploration of endearing theme;
Mystical, phenomenal, halo of mirthful gleam.

Life is a fleeting dot on scale of eternal time,
A journey of courage, yet harbinger of fears;
Gracefully revering the echoes of lifetime,
Whether reveling in joy or lamenting in tears.

Rejoice in life’s sunset, rejoice in life’s sunrise,
Greet charming smiles, yet ignore not its sighs,
Celebrate spring’s birth, mourn autumn’s demise,
Cheer life’s welcome, dwell not in goodbyes.

Fear-Unwelcome Emotion

Conjuring anxiety, obstructing path of hope,
A quivering hesitation, frightened to cope;
Fear is omnipresent causing anguished moan
Agitating aspirations in distress of unknown.

Fear is darkness, a trepidation upon norm,
Worrisome, trembling, turbulent as storm;
An obstacle threatening progress of life,
A messenger of panic, an architect of strife.

Treacherous to audacity, fear is a cheat,
A betrayal to victories, fretting of defeat;
Fear is melancholy, an expression of gloom,
Hampering courage, perturbing in doom.

Fear is a loathsome impediment to goals,
Dashing endeavors of endearing souls;
Averse to commitment as love goes awry,
A remorseful cry, where lost kinships sigh.

Unwelcome emotion imprisoning ambition
Unleashing inaction of paranoid inhibition,
Fear immobilizes, as if, bird trapped in cage;
Paranoid, valor-less, upon life’s center stage.

Laud God Who With Have Trod

with God we have trod
is friend and never facade
who we love and laud

will give Him a nod
river has been wide and broad
mountain made by God

Haughty Party on the Potty

all have been haughty
what a perturbing party
sitting on potty

A Darkest Night Too Brightens In Dawn

When I ruminate in trepidations forlorn,
Darkness traversed in search of dawn,
Vying fertile shores, oceans I crossed,
Nightmares that my dreams doled out;
Looking back now, how I fondly recall--
In those hardships success was born.

As I watch frigid woes glinting on snow,
Winters that melt and in rivers flow,
Parched-leaves tinting autumn’s glow,
I wonder how seasons in throes know;
Behind clouds of despair rises arc of hope.

When I spend today in tempests bygone
Brooding in defeat of conquests lost,
Yesterdays that were callously tossed;
I once again follow footsteps of the past
Imprisoning my triumphs of tomorrow
Arresting winsome ambitions of now.

Learning the lessons from where I was
I reassure anxieties perturbing my life:
Travails of turbulence won’t last long,
For a darkest night too brightens in dawn,
A rainbow forms after a storm is gone.

So, I clasp the hand of a leisurely walk
Unfettered by constant tick of time clock, 
Passionately answering call of my heart
Bequeathing moments that forever last.

On Joe Show Party For Biden Throw

had heard on Joe Show
what occurred a month ago
party for Biden throw

give Biden a break
he caught a fish in big lake
then would shake and bake

Biden wide awake
through bills had started to rake
started an earthquake

for God and His sake
what we would do is to make
Biden take a break

was insidious
perturbing and pretentious
also hideous

what he had was weird
a bright and brilliant beard
disappeared when sheared

Artemisia Exposed

conception
   of
      femininity
exposed

the courageous
      determined
         energetic
in exuberant  voluptuousness

with intent
of lips&
          strongwilled chin
evocative
of
disconcerting 
         freedom
yet
  an object
     of desire
in perturbing
                sensuality

Snapshots

If we could only capture an instant,
one frame of this life with but our eyes;
freeze the clouds adorning the argent crescent,
count the raindrops on a storm-soaked leaf -
where might we be?

If the beauty present in one second
could be stretched to encompass each day;
the eyes of a pet, loving with no thought of lies,
the words with a friend, badgering and boon both -
what tangles might we unravel?

If we could rob this unduly perturbing world
of every snatch of glee in our grasp;
a bolt of lightning dancing in an eyelid's sky,
a laugh caught in the lens of a memory -
what tapestry might we paint with these echoes?

If we can strive to hold these glimpses of a grin,
these flashes finite, fleeting and fundamental;
the chapter that keeps you in its thrall, ensorcelled,
the cat's tail curling continually 'round your calf -
what tale might we spin from these ghosts of a moment?

Caste Into Past Which Was Vast

Caste Into Past Which Was Vast

Onto a path were tossed and than caste,
Into an unbearable and perturbing past,
Problems created,
We had hated,
That had been huge and so very vast.

Trump Stage Hand On International Stage and More

Trump Stage Hand On International Stage

On international stage Trump has been a hand,
Who we find hard to understand and withstand;
Very perturbing,
And disturbing,
While we wait for him to get head out of sand.

Jim Horn

All of this so mysteriously must be,
So set me free with God's beauty,
Gaily does float;
God self devote,
And shall wrote poetry on a spree.

Jim Horn

I still suppose someone knows,
Which way he leans and blows,
And side of you that on grows;
How much  his stuff overflows.

Disturbing and Perturbing Me

A passionate painter I’ll be
Until you annoy bother me
Actually so disturbing
And now I do say with some glee
Poetry writing is for me.
Only slightly bit perturbing.

We Were Called

WE WERE CALLED

Poor Mom, She Barely Sleeps, Easy to Tell
The Wives Are Fearful and Worried, as Well
The Children Often Ask “Where’s Is My Dad”
There’s Tension in the Air: Perturbing and Sad
Once Warm and Joyful Households, No Longer Grin
Men Are Gone to Shoulder the Duties of a Paladin
They Have Left: All the Things They Hold Dear
To Rid the World of a Bone Chilling Fear
At Times Humanity must Sacrifice Their Progeny
To Rid the World of Demonic Tyranny

From Trump Grabbed Mike

From Trump Grabbed Mike

Trump made noise  so we grabbed mike;
What he had been saying no one did like,
Very perturbing,
And disturbing,
And we all did tell him to take a long hike.

Walking Past

There is no cruel intention in these veins of mine
No self-perturbing traces of malice or hatred
Yet I rot in all that I am
Sopping sorrows
Bacterial bondage
Lost in this reverse universe
Turning back the time
I am still a child
I am fine
I am fine

Never would I mean to hurt you
In my silence it seems that I have
In my state, my stagnant state,
I awaken your resentful waves
I am buried in your unawareness
Unraveling in writhing verse

I have no reason to despise myself
I have no reason to hide

A cold wind of a departure
I dare to turn and look
To watch you leave through the door
Suddenly I am rotting all over again
I am walled into endless festering

Do not tell me to live in the moment
Until you have felt what I have felt
Do not tell me to forget who I am
With what you think I was

I am fine
I am fine

The danger has no weight on me now
I am walking past you now
