Sadness Poems - Poems about Sadness

Swept her eyes across Deliver her mind peace Unshaken from loss She sat next to me Recline on myself Watching through the eyes of another Your hair swept to the side Distant notion of a lover A kiss, a touch A hand to hold Memories, clear Truths, untold In the darkest hour, here I am Be my Wendy and take my hand Have you heard of Neverland? A boy...

Depression Its darkness. A cold embrace, An old friend. It welcomes me, like a lighthouse after a tragic storm. I feel her claws like a deceiving caress Her words drown me in blanket of numbness Bitterness maws at me like a rabid wolf I sleep I eat I sleep again. Praying she doesn’t invade my dreams. Too late. Grades drop faster than silence after I tell someone...

Summer smashes into Spring with violent heat that leaves the air in a hazy daze.  All of the tender, green rain-draped brilliance of young foliage giving way to the drab, sunbaked drowsy green that swelters and gasps for rain all through Earth's yearly simmering.  Boiling and drying in invisible and malicious rays, all green tends to...

Aquel sinsonte que se posaba en el balcon, apenas trina. Al no escuchar tú voz sutil cantando sin secar. Y esos rosales que ayer regabas con delirio, hoy se marchitan. Pues ya de ti no queda ni la fragancia de tu esencia en nuestro hogar....

Shadows are flying in my head. Emotions are lost . Darkness is running allover,thou life is a mystery. Deeply I feel sad, deeply I feel happy, asking why life is worthless. I can feel anger brewing inside my heart. Periodically hateness is installed in my heart. My emotions are lost in my own world,where I don't have access. I'm lost in my...

I have been deceived all this while, By all the angels cloaked in a dear disguise. 'Follow the way of light, my child, ' they all cooed, For they knew too well I was never shrewd. Off I went, probing for those lights, Something to put an end to my wakeful nights. But manipulation, oh my dear, Sounds sweeter when it is...

On an island kissed by sea and sky, Where winds blow soft and people sigh, Lived a girl named Masumbuko— Her name meant pain, and life moved slow. A house of many, food was thin, Love stayed quiet, locked within. Mama was tired, worn and gray, Baba stared as dreams slipped away. Masu, strong but still so small, Carried water, cleaned it all. School was...

May is the season of Rain droplets of soft note tapping rhythm into my coat tip— tap. tip— tap. she walks with me and starlight for a silent talk midnight May is the season of Rain I watch her dance as sun sinks beneath the fence— tip— tip— ...

Coal-brown smoke smudged lightly with hesitant fingers into the wet grey sky at the edges, a yellowing of dried grass scattered with copper berries fallen from their vines, a leaf spinning crazily on a breeze, a tentative parting of fingertips and a face turned slightly from mine – a profile obscured by dark hair – and eyes scan and count the pylons for something to do. The...

Happiness and Sadness went on a romantic date. There was so much chemistry between them. Sadness was carrying a book of poetry. Happiness was laughing. Everything was going well, until... Happiness said to Sadness: "I can make your life very happy!" Sadness got up and left. Happiness was in shock No too happy now asked the universe: "What did I do wrong?" A little voice said: Sadness is fine being as...

When someone first dies and leaves us, It’s hard to lift that sense of gloom, When their body is no longer with us, But their presence still fills the room. But within our treasured memories, We can recollect their smiling face, For in our heart-of-hearts we know, They are now in a much better place. ...

Was it truly your choice to live in a world that fills you only with anger and sadness, To drown in your silent fury and that of your comrades, until silence becomes a painful cry? Did you choose for your limbs to twitch, to fight, for your feet to kick, your hands to scratch, Or is it just...

When I was small the starlings roosted one by one on grandma’s party line wire (like jittery black clothespins) to bandy their gossip back and forth until the wire hummed with their inanities. By luck my slingshot found its mark. One toppled from the wire soundlessly like a clothespin blown loose in the wind. The others rattled on, oblivious, no questions asked. It dropped straight down. I ran...

Sad can permeate, Grey, dank days create, Time heals, does pass by, Gloom sees end to each sigh, We all need remedies, Keep up face smilies, Each person can use, New focus to choose, Once we all wailed, Again the assassins have failed, You'll wake in own skin, Cheers! is best medicine!...
