Premium Member And There I Was

I sat serenely on the vine
The sun on my rind sublime
	Came the farmer’s wife 
	with a carving knife
I’ll nevermore feel the sun shine

Face jaundiced by perpetuity Watching, telling, repeating Tired arms, rotating Incessant call of Raven “Nevermore” predicated….

Crow Made An Oath

Had heard a crow making an oath,
Nevermore had been bright quoth;
Should not stare,
We did declare;
Became a politician and poet both.

Down in the Water

Down in the water a young boy saw,
Something surely taken from folklore.
It swam with a fin,
invited “Leap in!”,
and the child was seen nevermore.

Based On Running Bear

Running Bear and White Dove
swim forevermore,
Never to be parted
or together nevermore.

*Poem based on the song Running Bear, as the title suggests

Love

Love
born in the fire of youth
foster to preserve
lost to betrayal
regained in trust
through decades of growth
capitulate all 
nevermore lose
love

Premium Member At Her Shrine

Once I felt that love was mine
   I nevermore worshiped at her shrine 

I should have known what would come next
  On my tombstone these words ~ ‘her ex’

Nevermore!

Fear, fear, go away
Live life to the fullest every day!

Why the deer in the headlights look?
Am anything but a crook!

So strike up the band
God is in command!

Tapping

In a Poe abode was a butler named Gore.
His assignment was to tend the door.
But he made one error,
His breath was a terror.
Causing callers to exclaim "Nevermore!"

Listen

Listen as the night falls dark
   Visions pass you by

On longer roads
   Than you have ever trod

Your feet will lead you 
   Nevermore

For dreams are now 
   Your eyes

Time-Jail

Do you still prefer
The memory
Of the things you were,
Nevermore to be?

Are you really safe
Inside the chain?
Don’t the shackles chafe
When you twist and strain?

Crashing Hour

You are my night owl
I am your morning breeze
That deepen your dormancy
My existence in your insensibility
Your presence never in my second
Our hour nevermore light on

Elysium Fields Nevermore

Nevermore the river styx shall ye reach 
The trickster has played his tricks leaving your bones to bleach
Take ye heed in life be fair or in death the raven will steal your fare.

Premium Member Breakers on the Sea

    Like the waves of a storm-swept gray sea
       breakers rushing furiously toward me

    Thrashing recollections of what once was
       memories that will nevermore be

Green island for which I yearn 
My ancestral home 

Calling me forever there 
Nevermore will I wander

Selladore

Yesterday I went to sell a door
At the home of Theodore 
Above him on a branch, The Raven
Below laid cellar-door
They opened, revealing, the one I so adore
But I cannot reach her, nevermore

Premium Member Heavenly Nevermore

The sun has learned
to nevermore interfere 

with the moon 
and its stars

To give it a whole world
because the sun

doesn't need to stand in the way,
when it has free reign 
of the entire universe.

Hope

Nevermore shall i bleed
Even my blood of wisdom 
For truth of personality has been strip from me
Someone whispers please help thee 
For disparity over came 
Thou your wisdom touch can save humanity

Rose Garden

Where was I?
In my rose garden
Where life blossomed; no more

(December to December 
Sowing hope, reaping despair) 

My rose garden; dead and dreary 
So Long!, 
for
I shall water you; nevermore!

Thou Hast a Heart O Silver

Heart o Silver, doth thou dither?
About the stars, or planets blither?
O grateful gods, become so weary,
Heart o silver, hast left thee teary.
Glaciated by wind and storm,
Nevermore, thy heart be warm.

Premium Member O, Weary Traveler

  
     O, weary traveler, tossed ashore by fate
        Despair not, though long has been the wait

     Finding yourself hurled back to the very start
        Wisdom is simply nevermore to depart

When To Be

an anonymous tempt to squash nevermore within my hushed dreams 
dare I lust fantasies featured with brilliant ingenuity -
just this once for twice is humdrum and never no longer howls

Premium Member Camelot Came Crashing Down

November 22, 1963
  Camelot came crashing down
From a sniper's single bullet
  aimed all too perfectly

A lone gunman took the life
  of John F. Kennedy
And stole the heart of America
  innocent nevermore to be
