Razing Poems | Examples

LOVE

Love is always shining,

Climbing like a fire.

Burning brighter,

Rising Higher,

Razing an empire.

Blazing through,

The Corrupt,

Immoral Views,

Guiding most its Abused,

Into patterns hard to Lose.

The only way to Choose,

Leading to Despair.

You Can Find It,

RIGHT THERE!

Trying to Repair,

Broken Souls.

Looking for a Savior.

Ashamed of their behavior,

They seek the Life Changer.

It could be from a Stranger,

or Even stranger than that,

A Real Angel,

Chasing away danger.

Eliminating our fears,

Wiping away the tears.

Thousands of years,

Fall from tired Eyes.

Surprised by the Love,

Coming from inside.

Pouring in from The Son,

Restoring them again.

Embers begin to glow within,

Tiny sparks riding the winds.

Love Catches on sin,

Resting, letting it in.

A new flame Begins,

Rising Higher,

Burning brighter,

Raising a New Empire,

Where Love is The RULER.

Broken Man

I am the fury of anguish,
Screaming to the heavens,
Crying, dieing, I languish,
Lementing my concessions.
I am the wrath of scorn,
Embodiment of war,
Once whole, forever torn,
Survivor, washed ashore. 
I am the passion of lust,
Razing cities for her touch,
Corrosive, patient as rust,
I'm the broken, she's the crutch.
I am the rage of love,
Blissful and ignorant,
Brought down from above,
Ecstacy belligerent. 
I am the broken man,
Consumed by his emotions,
Without aim, sight, or plan,
Crashing in the ocean.

Razed Heart, Hopeful Soul

Whispers of your skin, a piercing ember
Razing my soul, in heart's December
You spurn my soul, still I'm holding on tight
To the oath of your love, a guiding light

Premium MemberDivorce

Did it take you by surprise,
Invade your psyche like a sly snake,
Venom slowly paralyzing love?
Or did it come in like a whirlwind, 
Razing the romance and tenderness,
Casting sweet memories of marriage 
Even further into the chaos of hate?

Dawn

All nebulous dreams prospecting,
A hideaway in cloud atolls,
A nightly ocean, warmth awaiting,
In quibbling flow, to dawn's aperture
In spectra falling, spectral play crumbled,
Sojourner stars: their lamps parole
In a distance, behind amnesic lights
Razing autumn clouds, amber hues galore!
Cloud heaths, like bosom steaming
Of shying lovers in meeting pour
Whom expectations, sunrays in flurry,
The sky makes dawn red, and Sun allures
The air, in restless breeze cavorting,
By promised things which procure
A blushful pink, on allusion's canvas,
The whimsy sky in homely warmth pleasured
Into a fecund rosiness, its secrets goaded,
Flee from shadowed swathes: staid, demure;
And where played curt poem, autumn moon;
Is a sky by the the bold and brash secured

Premium MemberThe Western Wall - Jerusalem

Though just a wall
      or so it's deemed
    
    She's kept alive
      a people's dreams

    Myriad pilgrims come
      her faithful friends

    To renew her glory's
      beginning and end*




    *Beginning - Inaugurated by King Solomon, c. 1000 BCE
     'End' - To be rebuilt with the advent of the Messiah ...
    __________________________________
    The Western Wall, aka The Wailing Wall, 
    miraculously survived the razing of the 
    Holy Temple and the Temple Mount by
    the Romans in the First Century C.E.  
    Jews have made pilgrimages to the
    Wall over the millennia, especially since 
    1967, after the Six-Day War.

Premium MemberSeptember 11

Burglar-exploits of Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin-Laden 
Saintly-looking, yet, by Satanic powers crime-ridden 
Terror-tied, adventured into frightening the nations
From Los Angels ignited their hellion-operations
triumphed razing the tip of the World Trade Center 
Could they, yet, into the united household, forever enter...?

The Best Way Goes Slow

(Wems Henry Temmy  Psalm 84)

Slow commercial car drivers are best picks
How passengers want haste bring conflicts

Slow cement-sand mixers are amazing
Other than impatient fast mixers cum razing

But slow sales make traders crazy 
Defining the efforts and trials lazy 

Slow minds are confusing to decide 
Holding unto failure fear turning tide

Nevertheless, slow  students answer better 
Yearning faster turns wrongly eyes bitter 

Slow cooker burns less or no food 
Why boosted one fires in manner so rude 

Slow female dancer electrify the hearts
But only the eyes fast dancer do earths

Mind you, slow sprinter wont seize first
Though, sometimes may not be the worst 

Slow logic can design one a big fool
Where new mirror isn't a reflecting tool 

Slow light can patiently burn farm down 
Caging flames unlike the fury light's frown

Slow speed would conserve fuel and lives
Unless a packaged drunk reluctantly sieves

Slow convert knows the truth to live by
Waving day-by-day the world, goodbye...

Premium MemberHail Ukraine

In the name of keeping peace
Russia raked up war at ease
Mounting conflicts and crises
Unleashing on Ukraine all vices...

When love and trust they needed
Bombs and shells strength wielded
Razing homes; raising death-toll
Morons made merry at Ukraine's fall...

Though broken into pieces
Ukraine's worth never ceases
It has held its head so high
Shaking citadels of pride to sigh...

Unbiassed Media

The Unbiassed Media

Bombs rain on Gaza, the youth throw stones, the Israeli soldiers killed 
or maim stone throwers, a dance of death.
What do the leading media say? Not very much,
the Gazans must be partly blamed; the victims are guilty
of the strength of being Palestinians defending their right.
In Hebron, the settlers are razing houses, killing goats and setting fire
 to olive trees and daily is the death of those who get in their way.
The media might have a byline about it, that’s all.
If Israel is criticized, it unashamedly invokes the sacred Holocaust
and calls us antisemitic
 Should a Jew speak up, he/her is called a self-hater
and be banned from entering the stolen land of Israel forever.

Premium MemberRaging Storm-

Yon raging storm 
Over my head 
Blowing my neck is wet 
With your breath 
You rain down upon me 
Yourself 
And the sparkle in my eye 
Reflection of the lightnings 
Flashing through the skies 
Raging storm 
You're not alone 
Those the stars surround you 
They  crossed the moon 
Striking it like a crossword puzzle 
tic-tac-toe emissions 
Flow my head is drowning 
Drenched with the mist that surrounds me 
My hair is wet with every raindrop 
I felt above my head is wet hair
Razing rain storm

Premium MemberThe Lost One-

There's a sound of lightening;
A raging storm;
A pit vast in heat a fiery berm;
Whatever happen to the music maker;
The leader of the angelic choir;
Now near the muck and mire;
Who knows the lost one;
And what will become of him;
Just where is the lost one
And where is he hiding
Whom are the lost one
And where shall he go
Where is the lost one I want to know;
How can the lost one lead me somewhere;
Down to the fiery pits of a razing hell
Oh! well
The lost one can be found;
In the burning, burning, burning
pits of" Hell"

Night Shine

Night falls in showers
of neon, and the blacktops spark electric.
The town takes to its cars
and pulls into fast food joints.
People just sits there
in the lots smoking and razing
or just crying quietly and alone.
Other's gather in backyards to drink;
In the lulls between the talk-talk
they tune-in to the distant scuffle
of criminal minds
getting chased around
by sweating cops in their buzzing blues.
When the summer night seeps into our skin
it sings a thousand sad songs,
a velvety shine heals
lonely hearts and the joyful.
The liquor stores glow bright
long into the sleepless night
because we need them
even when we don’t need them,
but we like the way they
carry folks in and out of their
fitful dreams
like cups of cool water.

Blazing
                  Razing
                  Hazing
                  Fazing

          Anarchy on a blazing, razing course
          Driven by a hazing, fazing force.
