Short Bowed Down(P) Poems

Winter hazel weeps
Her barren branches bowed down
No nuts for robin...

Bowed down in prayer
True contrition poured out there,
Then love filled the air!...

The east has a crown
The darkness has bowed down
Brush off any frown
Smile in a fresh gown...

Graceful swims the Swan.
Wings of an angel folded
back in white splendor.

With long slender neck,
head bowed down in regal pose.
A lakes Royalty....

With an ear to the ground
The thunder of a thousand poets
Exclaims in perfect confession
Centuries of unadulterated bliss
Of written words,
Of sounding-words,
Of the heart bowed down....

Giant was not super enough to find it
Sorceress bowed down to help him
From afar, Popeye and Stella goggling on 
What? The key or a bottle 
Who? The poets
The key is near somewhere around the lock
Around left, right, up, down very closed....

Jill lives in a cruel world.
She's on guard for 
people are mean
to a half breed.

She'll not wear a hat or
a bowed down head when walking.

Wearing flowers in her hair she
speaks louder than words
with no voice
as her face lights the room 
and turns heads....

He accidentally
Punch the referee
He bowed down to her level
And apologized his mistakes
He completely withdraw 
The physicality of the moment
Brought his anger to zero
And concerted it to humility
Changed his face, bowed his head
And made himself smaller and shorter than her....

This heart of mine is
a wanderer nomad and 
now it is on the 

loose. It became wroth
and restless for the mind is 
bowed down; the shameful

armistice is now
signed. Because it is still
aware that if it

gave upon on you,
if it ceased to love, it would
cease to beat eternally....

Morning glories have made 
The sunflowers sad,
Bowed down as they are 
By the weight of their clingy burden.
While carefree, innocent clover 
Lead on to the greenwood
Where gray wolves conspire with ravens,
And whatever’s been eating 
Tiger lilies along the fence
Waits with patience 
In deep summer shadow.
Economies of profit and loss....

Demons

Here, far away from East
Bowed down in comfort chair
Elbows anchored to the knees
Hands couching head and hair

There, far away from West,
Now in the clench of dark.
Heavy against horizon’s chest,
Mourning silhouettes, stark.

Lights extinguished by hate
Burning out one by one
Exhaustion smothering wait
Dreams will not see the sun...

Now, Jim is a guy who cultures
                              His zest for and boasts of his adventures
                                      But won't tell he met a lady
                                      He bowed down so gallantly
                           That both of them had to catch his dentures.

The shade of a swizzle stick frightened the drunk
Who's head bowed down in shivers of funk
Like leaves that cool when shriveled 'till shrunk
To swizzle our sticks in cool ice junk

Dum Drunken man with lids; his dreams
Erase each moment in flickers and seams
Won't die 'till morning; eyes form beams
When memories left forget it seems.

I am but a worm
Bowed down at your shrine,
Offering up
What small words are mine.

I know it's unlikely
Your heights I'll attain
So I'm resigned to repeat,
To revise yet again.

This drudgery, toil,
And all to what gain?
To lift up from this soil
A sweeter refrain.

My dearest book fairy,
Look kindly on me,
And give me some hope that
A poet I’ll be.?...

Over the mantle,
a hand, a candle,
breaking bread—ample.
A white head bowed down,
old and worn with frown,
pensive and in prayers.
A bowl sits with pears,
two other side-chairs.

Partially hidden
by Lady Midden—
Bible, guilt-ridden.
Centre and forefront,
black cover and blunt,
is a treasure hunt.
She slips off the band,
Reads and understands.

It must be dangerous to love like this,
It must be scandalous to care like this,
My heart burns hotter than a thousand suns,
My mind has finally bowed down to Love.

I want you to take me for a last time,
Giving myself to you should be the last,
Claim me like you would the last breath of                                             
Air on earth, panting it's last few minutes....

O my country,
filled with riches untold,
with stories of legends from years ago,
who fought to uphold our gold,
who took a stand and said no.
All the vices which grew in fold,
so bowed down to rise again.

O my country,
why still down,
why so sad,
shall we in the water drown,
or on ground burn down.

Arise my country!
go to the ends of the earth,
stand tall,
never fall....

The sky ain't the limit, Heaven is the mark
Have seen the ground and its' pain
Let the rain wash away my tears within
I face God on my knees and  my head bowed down
It's time for me to walk away from my struggles
Ain't no talk going to convince my decision
For my life took a change that broke me
Am now going back to my path.
Walking away from the shadow towards the light
This is the path I take...

In a lowly manger and in a land far away-
Jesus was born on that most Holy and Sacred day.

We followed the star that shone so clear and bright-
That guided us through even the darkest night.

After we had traveled for so very, very long-
We bore witness to the celebration of the Angel's song.

Then as we bowed down before the new born King-
We knew that salvation had come to every living thing....

"I've always been told I'm the lunatic! As I've never bowed down, as I don't please the rats around me ever, even many many years ago! Never made friends with fools, even from their trouble, why try when they don't even know, I'm to proud of myself to give a flipping  from all those shallow minds, I'm letting myself feel right and will never give a sweet  to the the small minded morons through this so called city..." -Ds-...

High above clouds
You flew
Radar focusing beneath
In search of prey.

Image fell on screen
One walking in  haste
His head bowed down
Wondering at
Mismatching arithmetic
At home, office
Breaking his back
To meet ends both
Nebulous mind.

Flare in your eyes
Like a diving bird
Impertinent crash landing
Sharp claws clung
An ascension with prey
Into unreachable heights
Vanishing into thin blue.

A quill is shed
Life drops dead....

Streamy tears from above
Roll down the window pane
In a form of beads
Strung by unseen cords.

Bicycles race furiously
In haste away from the torrents,
The world, in ceaseless motion
Except this poor soul of mine,

With heads bowed down in sorrow,
The masquerade tree lamented,
The white line bore no silver lining.
No, not for me
        
       A flying chalk from the janitor

                Kissed my head....

We unveiled her as the juniper tree
bowed down low to the ground 
From the balcony, kids threw cranberries
which got stuck in her apple sprig crown
A humming bird swept past her shoulder
and graced her with jasper and jade
The elm tree showed her his virtue
as she quivered under his shade
And in the evening we peeled the rind
right off of the luscious moon
to slather her thick and gracious
on the headstone of her tomb....

He Spoke

Carried about by the storm of emotion,
Over a wild and boundless ocean,
My heart was like a ship at sea,
And no one cared to rescue me.

Or, so it seemed, until I met,
A Man that I shall ne'er forget,
He spoke, the Master spoke to me,
And life the same shall never be,

He said, "I know your needs, that's why,
I went to Calvary to die,
The ocean, once so threatening,
Bowed down to meet my Lord and King.

Separated from the world by a thin wooden door,
here silence speaks of a world no more.
An unbreakable bond just turned to dust,
betrayal’s darkness, detached trust.
Bearing the burdens of which, alone
the weight bowed down , yet sorely known.
Shadows guard a silent gate,
destined for a somber fate.
Amidst the hush, the pain is deep,
a shadowed wound I’ll always keep.
Not for the pain that won’t depart,
but for the love that awaits despite the dark....
