Short Push Back Poems

everything in life
pushes us to do evil
but do you push back?...

You push back and think
Simply engaging their game
Up and go away....

paging yard drivers 
hook up and push back- lock in 
I'm ready to load...

People are walking
for health
and exercising
to push back the clock
of ageing....

Needle

in a haystack:

--- that muffled sound ... logic? --- :

no matter, the rest's dross, pry good -

sense loose....

as I wrap my mind
around the truth
push back the feelings
stirred by you
tell my heart
it's nothing new
rebuild the wall
in different hues...

I BUILT A WALL 
SO HIGH
ONLY A SLIVER
SEES THROUGH
ENCASED
IN GLOOM
DREAD PILED HIGH
CHAOS LOOMS
PUSH BACK
PULL THROUGH
KNOCK DOWN
THE BRICKS 
AND BROKE FREE....

my body a temple
the holder of my heart
you hunger for one
and starve the other
a treasure I offered
a coffer for all
you consume till you're full
and push back from the rest...

lie
cheat
fool
kill.

put down
push back
turn the other way.

tear down beyond repair
step on anyone and everyone.

unintentionally i became you.

the personification of everything i hate....

Often
what we think
is what we write,
we,ourselves,at first to
delight;
Perhaps
for others
verse to amuse,
illuminate,maybe
enthuse;
Our style,
our genre,
we cannot hide-
just as we can't push back
the tide...

stepping on toes
invading territory
moving in on turf
unacceptable 
uncomfortable transition 
not going to 
take laying down
if threatened will
push back 
not going to 
back down 
this is not going 
to happen 
it will not fly...

Another angle on the truth
a way to clear your name.
You took the most important step
when you accepted blame.
Now push back pride for honest gain,
yes, welcome love with style,
take seriously your regrets,
and find life's still worthwhile....

Darkness sits in his mind,
The night is cloaked in his chamber,
Tempest rages in his closet,
He searches for a way through,
He fights and stifles,
They push back and trouble sore,
It's an unending fight,
He anticipates an end.

Holding my temper, I cry
Holding my eyes, I censor
Holding my tongue, I’m muted
Holding my ears, I deafen
Holding my hunger, I starve
Holding my thirst, I dry up
Holding my love, I push back
Holding my zakat, I give
Holding everything Holy; 
Holding and shunning evil.

Push back the star
Push back the stars, at night
Release the blue sky
Release the blue sky, for flight
Dance in the soft moonlight
Eclipse the sun so bright
Pray to the heavens
Pray to the heavens, delight
Push back the stars
Bring forth new worlds
Then, we shall see God, tonight...

There’s this invisible shape that get formatted between my hands
A mold of a thing a statue of a being
Writhing my hands I compress to feel its pressure I press to feel resistance 
With the slightest push back 
I feel the attack 
I stand no ground 
I’m only out to live a merry-go-round...

Walking upright whole and able
Exercising each day push back from table
Live to the fullest each minute of day
Love as much and many as one may
Newness expect from life's deck of cards
Enter each game ready as a bard
Sameness only in daily routine
Serve others in many ways help their self-esteem...

Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad.
It's the cycle of things, whether I am happy or sad.

I've lost some I loved,  others slipped away,
I push back those memories for another long day.

Today I should cherish those I really hold dear,
Love and laughter each day, with no time for a tear....

day before the red moon
first ascension waves in
fire guidance for
earthlings
event s of the big birthing
keys of bliss dancing
push back the clouds
of darkness n despair
feathered serpents
under the free 
shadows
of the forbidden tree
escaped red parrot
on the breaking
branch
we are manipulating
the angry god...

Listen to poem:

I can’t imagine my life
Without you
The silence
Through the night
Sometimes
In an effort
To push back
The emptiness
To freeze time
I refuse to sleep
Just stay awake
And hold you in my arms

At first, he'd meant to make a difference.
But, he lost his ideals making deals-
the back-room,
you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours, 
backstabbing variety...
Then there was the payback, backlash and push-back.
Now no one recognizes him, back home.

Pushing Back On Fear
October 22, 2023
Miracle Man 

In a heart that’s trusting the Lord,
fear and defeat can’t live for long.
When I can’t quickly forget something,
I push back on negativity.

I can choose Him instead of self,
for God is in control of my life.
Something was often hidden,
among thorny situations I endured.

Downward. Spiraling out of control. Into a darkness so black and empty that its perimeter 
can only be described as infinity. Void. Empty. But full of betrayal, deceit, hatred, disbelief. 
The air is thick, heavy, stagnant...poisoned. But only one thing truly exists in this area of 
nothingness. As I push back the tears, madness and denial I see it as clear as day. Death....

A small lamp hanging
Tries to push back the shadows
Reflecting somber faces
                               

Of and by the land
Partaking of its bounty
Facing tomorrows sameness

At the silted banks of river Nile,
I'd sung to the glory of Lucy;
I'd soared high over the echoing Savanna
and fought and bled for Shaka Zulu.
I was first to push back abyss,
the last to be ripped away. I'll
return one day, I'll bring the rest.
