Rewritten Poems - Poems about Rewritten

Life is short they say So you better make the most of it But what happens When that's not the case for everyone Where there are some Who are constantly changing freedom Whilst simultaneously hiding in the shadows Hoping to see tomorrow So how can one live life to the fullest When the odds are stacked against you But...

Chemo, Puberty & the Fourth Watch by Patrick Cornwall Wake up—rush for the toilet, say my prayers. Stomach races, chasing bowels, anxious like horses shot from a gate. Chemo, the man said. Takes time to get used to. And I’ll ring you. I take a shower. Just trying to rinse the sick away. Ready for the day. The sun leads me out— then gas...

In the temple of silence, where the past awaits to be rewritten, I wrap my longing in the mantle of night, searching for the lost ring of destiny, That sacred symbol, forged in the shadow of agate forests, Its color, a gateway to the depths where green meets the night. I dared to...

I’m sorry… I’m not perfect, Yet you expect me to be. I mess up. I make mistakes. But I don’t care. I’m sorry you hate me For how much I have changed. It’s a direct result Of the consequences of your actions. The repercussions of the pain you’ve caused me. Also, I lied. I do care. Sorry I let you get to me. I never uttered my...

Ascension I walked on the vast plateau the everlasting wind of time had blown away, the sand exposed millions of skeletons and the memory of man wench the brain was walnut-sized. The brain is larger now, filled with images of *********** and wars on many fronts. I came to an oasis I must drink or explode into atoms but the water...

Grief Passages Rewritten Shards of shame lay splintered in unresolved pieces ~ Bits of crystal if only intentions not repairable Minutes of I wish regret unreachable, not revived ~ Lifeless echoes sighing with no resuscitation In a whirlwind tornados uproot shallow graves ~ Screams at the unknowable why unanswered Yeah but excuses expletives and bargains with denial ~ Blank...

. for public domain Love stories on our hearts rewritten, imbued on parchment of those we've smitten where whose love was laid to ruin and waste, fibers with woeful letters erased again and again, thin the paper, til none remains to print one more story....

Oh God, expand my narrow, cluttered, room! And clear the clutter out, so I may see! And still my Seas, as You did, Galilee! Life threatens to collapse in, with a Boom! Like Aspen, that arise after a fire, Or ground-cover that sprouts from ash and dust Or sweet alyssum permeates the must About the room, through window of desire, So, pray I,...

It shouted to him from the rooftops and he was prepared to jump ‘Go out with a deafening bang’ for the bell had told crashing demise Sadness and bitter oblivion pointed the way from screaming nowhere Yet deadening cacophony arrested his mind in utter procrastination A once melodious mind in waiting struck in a terminal station The oncoming train roared...

[Verse 1] I’ve seen you sitting there, you've been here before, Always leave me wanting, restless for more. But never quite like this—lamp glow on your face, You must be from Heaven, not of this place. [Pre-Chorus] I come here to write, to chase down the muse, But now all my words are getting lost in you. [Chorus] Lines in the moonlight, dancing on...

I was always told as a child I had a lucky face. A bone structure that resembled somebody famous. ‘There’s something about you kid, you’re different,’ they said. ‘I don’t know what it is but you’re different.’ I was force fed this ******** Until it oozed out of me from every pore. The stench of it Worse than a French whore. And now...

Soul's mirrors and mind's study are the eyes, and the verdict is clear, wild animals cave in the hollows of your mind, herds, escorting your thoughts and opening your eyes wide, front window to a spacy mind's fantasies, and easy smiles drawn, as thorny roses pricking your fingers, you're hurt. Call it gathering of the herds, or.... the others...

In early morning light I wheel myself outdoors. The vibrating air lively with small dancing aphids. In distance near, that booming sound of crashing waves against the sand, waves with their perpetual wish to walk the shore. Waves, so powerful, so strong yet so dumb, a caged animal wanting to escape. I want to escape...

To climb a mountain, but I ran out of steam Sat down on a boulder to wait for the team To learn to ski, but that did not go well Cracked my tail bone when down I fell To learn to dance, in my youth t’was grand Now with bad feet I am lucky to stand Think I'll make a new...

No more gleam, no more shine, not once Once I rolled the production line Llnes busted and broken, no more sublime Sublime when rolling the production line Line producing joy and glee Glee in the past, no one loves me, no No one loves me, each day I pine Pine for the days of the production line Line when I was neat and...
