Short Friendless Poems

Hung out
to dry
a slowly turning
contradiction
past my use by date....

Always misunderstood,
Blaming others not at fault,
Challenging  wisdom,
Desperately,  trying to
Eliminate the need to be loved...

I took my pet to the local pub,
Bar-keep called me a flamin' grub,
You can't bring a snake in here
It'll put people off their beer,
He chased poor Horace with a club....

Moon
Rising
By
Twilight
Poverty
Stricken
Souls
No trust
In system
World without love
A box house
Friendless
Stress
Of loss
There's no work
Mature
Man
Loses
Hope...

FRIENDLESS



See the lonely sad friend
All alone by nasty choice
Who schemes between scams
Lives beyond friendless poise

Although uninformed of
Lost Hope's whereabouts
Friendless, I am its friend.
And its comforter.

Seen, heard, through that numb window's
Fawn in snow approach.
Gentle-eyed; gentle-toed.
Closer and closer....

Tanka 14     

             I saw tears well out 
             from the lonely man’s eyes who
             lived through solitude
             entire life friendless but lone
             in the whole of creation...

No one to laugh with
No one to talk to
Nobody out there for me
Friendless
Loveless
Alone is my story
I cry at night sometimes
It can get pretty painful
Nothing can be done to stop it
I am alone
That is my destiny....

Rain is going and crying,

so alone in the empty street.

Lonely means friendless –

nobody to walk with.

nobody with whom to laugh and whisper.

Hi, Rain! Don’t cry! 

Let’s make friends

Together we can splash through puddles!...

Gluey aftersight
here is a drunken police officer
loved by a friendless prostitute
here is Chinese opium den
taping around your eyes

Here is a boy loved by many
adored by the crowd
a lonely ballerina who 
would love to change places

Your love, dearest, is endless,
Like the hills, seas, and oceans; 
I was lonely and friendless,
Full of inner commotions...!

You entered my ended life
Like nectar in a flower
In each of my ghastly strife
I grow, like a palm, each hour...!!

Lost,
Alone,
And afraid,
Sad and friendless,
How I wish this pain would just disappear;
Leave me at peace with solitary thoughts;
Isolated,
Secluded,
Destroyed,
Scared.
Numb,
Empty,
Uncaring,
Without feeling,
You left me a vacant shell, drained of life....

Sweet Cherry Wine

get out of my car
friendless marching out to war
where's the nearest bar

The panorama's immensity
   Twilight's intensity
Profoundly felt, heart-pounding shivers
   On the shores of desert rivers

Of sweeps of sand, stretching endless
   On darkling surface friendless
Canteen emptied, my last companion
   Buried deep in this lost canyon...

Nothing is as lonely
As being surrounded 
By people who pretend 
To care all about you.
But when you need someone, 
Who is there to listen?
Who will be there each day?
Who will never give up?
No one. No one is there.
No one has compassion. 
No one is in it for long. 
We are just friendless friends....

I am abandon. 
I am a shame to all who see me.
I am homeless and no one will shelter me.
I am along even my shadow has left me.
I am a orphan and no one wants me.
I am unwanted and no one even cares.
I am friendless but they are not aware. 
I am abandon, homeless, along, unwanted and friendless...I am forgotten....

vision seems dim
quiet damp and cool outside
poets thoughts clear

vision, light dim
Energy flows into digits
Pen dry 

damp drizzle
dry flat expressionless face
sadness unspent

visibility
none passed the end of my nose
friendless soul

breathing thick
fear racing through my heart
lost in a moment...

Inner peace shattered in one word
silence like I've never heard
Happiness lied once again
sadness at the loss of a friend
Trust is a thing of the past
our love hasn't a chance to last
Betrayal of the biggest kind
where the hell is my peace of mind 
Lost forever in a sea of black 
because you left and didn't turn back...

When she told me to
Listen to conversation
I rolled my hazel eyes

When she told me to
Be nice to the friendless
I began to bring them home

When she told me to
Pay attention to my teachers
I knew she had not met some

When she told me to
Tell the truth, I did
Until the belt.
After the belt,
truth is out the window...

Some kids play soccer.
Some go out for a mocha.
I, however, chew my DIXON Ticonderoga.

I look out the window
and cringe in disgust.
They're fighting over a basketball and making a fuss.

I just nibble at my eraser.
Happy as can be

Well, I am kind of friendless.

And I’m often lonely.


Oh who am I kidding! This is the life, baby!...

She
Pompous
Egotist
Delusionist
Dyed hair groovy red
Nails done midnight black
Shoes, bought from the best stores
Her fat Pug's clothes ,flashy as she
Her spotless home, stands closed, clean, friendless
On the cold morgue slab she now sleeps, endless

She was embarrassed 
For she was naked
Fully uncovered
They saw her flaws 
They mocked her
Truly ashamed she runs for cover
Those who honored her
Now looks at her with disgrace 
Those who befriend her
Betrayed her 
Now friendless
She runs to God for coverage 
They laughed and slandered her name 
But she didn't let it break her
For she knows 
God knows her pain...

A widow who hated to see
her friends doing better than she
spun such nasty rumors
they spread like bad tumors
and blackened her soul completely.

Her friends realized she was not
a soul they could trust, so she got
left friendless for spinning
her lies. For her sinning -
inside her own web she was caught.

May, for all her beauty, sickens me
flowers and sunshine-
make the world blind
to the utter misery!

Spring, new life- supposedly
yet I gaze around
this friendless town
too many bad memories!

Anguish, pain- it blackens me
my soul is hollow
the rest will follow
as May drags on relentlessly...

She carries the misery-
will I ever find-
solace? peace of mind?
not until May fades away!

He forgave the unforgivable,
Loved the unlovable,
Helped the ungrateful,
Taught the unteachable, 
And reached the unreachable.

He befriended the friendless,
Gave hope to the hopeless,
Worked with the clueless,
Guided the sightless
And defended the defenceless.

Yet you let him sleep on a rug
And never give him a hug.
You even teach him to beg.

You must be some sort of mug
To expect any more from your dog....
