Settle Poems

Premium MemberThe beak has broken, and I settle on the shore of painful thoughts

The beak has broken, and I settle on the shore of painful thoughts,
while the sea sews salt around a shell of feathers—
a cradle carved from a time long vanished, a vapor dream of the past.
I touch it gently—the wings contract like secrets hidden in evening shadows—
fragile bruises, a poem of memories passed through rains of

Misunderstanding

Initially seems like the distance of tip of the needle , 
    gradually drawing miles in the middle .
     Leading to unnecessary battle , 
   solving it can only settle .
   The two become quiet , 
  one the eyes clues there's a

Premium MemberSettle the Sun

I never said you had to settle for less
this bargain we made  
with sweetest handshake.

I'll look to you in the sun
meet where ground gives way to sky..
see if any lingering dreams came true
never to reason how or why.   

If evening songs become few
you and I will know just what to do-
For two

Premium MemberOLD SCORES THEY SETTLE

They battle on and show no shame 
The other side must take the blame. 
And each side thinks that it can win 
Punishing others for past sin.
Increase the suffering more and more.
Kill and maim to settle the score.
Year upon year of attrition, 
A desperate situation. 
For more weapons each side must pay 
Then economies in

Premium MemberGood evening, my love, in the pale light of memories that settle like a gentle mist over the soul

Good evening, my love, in the pale light of memories that settle like a gentle mist over the soul,
I await you with the impatience of a traveler lost on the platform of a station forgotten by time,
Hoping you'll bring with you continents of mysteries dancing on the starry sky,
A train of lonely thoughts whistling melancholically

Never Just Settle

I purposely stayed because I did not want to feel,
I thought being in love again was overrated and unreal,
I settled for less, because my heart was tired,
At the end of the day, it was always me the one trying,
I gave constantly until I could give no more,
The love was never reciprocated from the door,
I sit

Settle Yourself First

Love yourself first
Before you can love others
Forgive yourself first
Before you can forgive others
Repent first
Before you can teach
Others to repent.

What everyone say to you
What counts, we resolve.

Settle For Ice

It's life , it's nice pay the price , roll the dice tell your wife , nights in tights and flights with twice the size of nice kites.

I pay the price when l rolled the dice , twice the knife when you take  it to heart this secret l take it to the grave

Settlement

Can we find a means of settlement,
do one, create one,
bring one about -
about our heads,
about our bodies,
within our minds,
within our hearts?

Is such a settlement possible?
Do we call it peace
before we are in pieces?
Do we call it love
before a level of revulsion?

We may settle, but first rattle;
we may relax, but first roll;
we may find peace, but

Flags Aren'T Banners To Settle Matters On Your Behalf

Can one remain calm ignoring violence?
Can angry words have the power to infuriate,
or change minds while they are searching
for those answers too uncertain and chilling?

No quest more alluring than this has plagued 
me more ardently since the beginning of doubts;
is fairness another will to be desperately contested?
Is patience a burden or a belief nobody holds?

We
