Pleads Poems


My heart pleads

My heart pleads, and I know not how to proceed,
You shine just like phosphorus in outer space~
As Venus’ nebula that draws eyes with speed,
A celestial reign of elegance and grace.

In my mind, your love has always come with fame;
Your stars still brighten, needing no lunar peek.
With a lilt not lost in hubbub’s show of shame,
A

Premium MemberAn 'Orphan' Pleads for Mercy

    A young man murders his mother and father 'for fun'
      throws himself on the court's mercy, 'cos he's an 'orphan'

    The young man is Hamas, his mother and father, Palestinians and Jews
       the West is the court,

Premium MemberA Ukranian Mother Pleads





Women and children underground with
no food to eat!
Oh, no! Another bomb going off, and
With nothing refreshing and nutritious
to drink. 

Trying to cover my daughters' ears with
her checkered, red and white gloves!
So many nations afraid to help the Ukraine, 
as our cries for weapons, reach the heavens 
in the Spring, gentle rain!


Why should they care, so

A Dose of Love Feeds Pleads To Be Heard

Despite our own struggles inner and outer, visible and invisible
Let’s go on, loving, caring, making a difference
In our families, communities and cities where feasible
Whether in reference to their struggles or during a conference

To eat caviar, drink champagne or discuss how to mitigate
The plight of the voiceless, the choiceless, the hapless
On whom fate has heaped hunger

Premium MemberPoet's Page Pleads

I lie here waiting for your gaze -
    The hurt in your eyes is cold fire,
Why don't you come near nowadays?
    What have I done to draw your ire?

The hurt in your eyes is cold fire,
    It seems you are upset with me,
What have I done

My Pen Pleads

My pen pleads 

Lonely nights offer moments of silence
and one dish suppers where candlelight seems a waste
Seated with pen in hand, I smooth the ruffles beneath
as if that will help the words flow

Upon closer inspection I find
fancy patterns on the dining room tablecloth
mimic the movements of my hand,
layered one atop another, calling on each to

Premium MemberMcgee Pleads the 50th

The boys were sitting all around the table with McGee
As he took to task to pour the glass of every man he'd see

"It's my anniversary" he would boast and say it loud
"50 years of married bliss" He shouted to the crowd

Remembering his first one he lean toward good Ole' Finn
"A trip to Hawaii, was the

Rhino Pleads Against Extinction

When God created me He said Rhino
I want you to stay away from people
For they will fear your horn so much
They will kill you before you kill them

So He decreed that I should dwell 
In the thick bushes of the savannah
And there have my being and fun
Feeding off shoots, grass and leaves

Look after your horn,

Thy Pleads

The voiceless nights
Kept to ourselves we need
The may wrongs to rights
Yet the many secrets to keep

I want to say
Yet words don’t exactly form
Given the world today
Feelings no longer belong

If I am to know
It is to go untrue
To fit a justly role
Who are you?

And I say only
What they want hear
They have known barely
Yet I’m sure

Voiceless... the

A Foetus Pleads With Its Mother

A scrap of life, a tiny spark
Awoke
I feel so weird
“Where am I? This is nice.
So warm. So dark and moist.
What is that noise I hear?
A steady thumping noise
Dear God it is my mother.
Oh Mummy dear
I am here
Inside you. Can’t you hear?
Where are we going Mummy dear?
To Auntie who?
Oh Annabelle. That’s nice, you have a sweetie
Oh

Pleads

Please
Don't start
And don't stop
Let me feel you
Within you and without you
let me hold you in mine
let me feel you in my mind
let the words fall into place this time
but don't forget your joy of rhyme
so let me feel you now
in this holiest of places
this habitual sane asylum
this unforgiving tale
let me 

Please

Don't fail
Let me sail
let me

Empty Pleads and Promises

How did I ever land such beauty?
Taken account for the times we've had
All the chances we lost lie in her presence
With your pity at my mercy I beseech you
"I've disgraced my already cursed life of love and death
   I've fallen to my knees and bled in front of you
