Short Obliterates Poems

awake at night
sorrow in wide
waves-
obliterates
sleep's dream...

Morning
dims into night-
a white fitted carpet
obliterates the way-marked path
ahead...

Happiness, its’ own reward
In the moment, how it smiles
Sunshine obliterates clouds
Paints the soul joyous.

No More Smiles

Intimidation
used as a tool, a control… 
obliterates smiles.

I’m tempted to press delete
And erase my every memory of you
I wrote these words for you
They are not permanent
A click of the button
Obliterates those scripts
If it was that easy
To expunge you from my mind
You’d already be gone...

The wonder I feel in my heart for life,  

Obliterates any fear of my passing away 

Thus 

An undaunted youth, eternally, I stay!

Love

                               of God

                         cleans our heart

                             obliterates

                                 Hate!

bloodshed of the kings
until Christ arrives
with mournival of aces
a double-edged sword “The Word”
creates; and obliterates evil

*mournival - set of 4, comes from the French word meaning a “slap in face.”...

Screaming til my face collapsed, broken arrow’s here called 
     Dear God she’s so beautiful, a cascading insouciance befalls 
             Forensics yeah they’ll differ, no doubt say, it was inhumane
     I don’t give a fig leaf, as the daisy cutter obliterates my pain

Work makes free, a lie 
Notches on a sickle, a tally 
Death's head obliterates 




( Yes, I know that this is not a true Haiku, if we all follow the rules...5/7/5 words per line )
I chose to tweak the "rules" to make the grammar flow better with commas, etc, 
If anyone objects, I am happy will delete this haiku. )...

C-elebration of birth is great
A-fter you rise from slumber; 
M-emorable event is held
I-n fifteenth September.
L-arge volume of rapture
L-ets you feel the thrill; 
E-cstasy in the occasion obliterates the cold chill.

A-mount of joy is huge, 
L-ike the size of mirth; 
O-rdering you to jubilate
G-reat celebration of birth....

Seeping into my reality
I feel the effects
Of excruciating pain
Destroying my soul.
It obliterates my senses
Keeping me numb inside
Everything but the pain
Is careening out of me.
My heartbeat is incredible
Beating like an idiot
It jumps off a cliff
Unknowing where it lands
It hits the bottom hard
Bleeding to the truth.

Oh, how such calligraphy glints
In the waking sun ‘tis betrayal
Post-ejaculatory nocturne

Such crucifixion of misery
Performs as an aid to impending tragedy
And obliterates the art ‘tis suicide
so that infants be branded with
a mark of amour that is profound

In each and every star lies
a distinct honor undefined
In due time all shall awaken
Arousing armistice...

There is a light that is shining
Offering all I want, need
A light I thought expended 

It obliterates all of the darkness
This shroud that has encased me
Both spirit and soul

A glow born in a dream
That stayed when the sun rose
And warms me with it’s strength

As I shed this old mantle
And step into your illumination
Tranquility and love surround me...
