Short Quality Of Life Poems

Escaping from the depths of your mind

To a place called Nowhere Land

A solitary life lived inside your head

Leaving the pain behind


Whether you will return is unknown

No quality of life

“Living” on postpone!...

Short Poem Dysphoria
Miracle Man
1/14/2023

Due to lifely issues, numbering a bunch,
quality of life has taken a different track.
Today, Dysphoria is eating my lunch,
and readies itself to pop the sack.

Premature stars planning to shine 
from their burial grounds; They thought... 
Social Media is the guarantor,
but actually quelling the quality of life over 'LIKES'!
The noose (an employee)
willing to hangout with them until the end....

He was once strong and trim
with much ahead for him
but now I feel my heart sink!

His quality of life
and future with his wife
are harmed by his love of drink.

I pray he’ll reinvent
himself and thus prevent
dear life ending in a blink.


For The Balassi Stanza contest of Dr. Ram Mehta...

Blows the winds of time
through this hollow husk
Rustling among emotions
that have turned to dust

Gusting through memories
of eroded dreams
Tiny seeds of sanity
seeping through the seams

Battered hopes dried out
in a spirit fallow
Quality of life withered
beneath pains shadow...

Being with you gives me 
the feeling of happiness…

You bring well being to my life…

Knowing you has permitted me
 to grow…

Grow into a loving person again…

To change from being sad, 
to being elated…

My quality of life is in euphoria…

Thanks to you…

The sword of fury stabs us in the back,
Sparking the fire by resentment. 

Flames ignite into a huge grudge,
With hatred burning in our eyes.

If a person repents their past sins,
Eradicate the arson of fueled anger.

Life is too short to scorch in rage,
A blaze that depletes the quality of life....

Love gives you a feeling of joy and contentment
Making you bubble up inside
No one can take away this feeling
Overwhelming happiness you cant hide
Permanent smile upon your face
Quality of life shows  like a  blazing fire
Reeking of warm undying love
Sheltering in the depth of your desire

Love is a reason for living....

Listen to poem:

Reach for your ambitions
Create your destiny
And make your dreams come true

Do not sit back
And waste the gift of time
Your quality of life is what you make it

Don’t let time slip away or squander opportunities
Let it be said that you lived large
And chased the moments that defined you

There is a head game
that none of us wants but
it's there anyway.

There is a head game
that interferes with what we are trying
(in all of our fumbling ineptitude) to say.

There is a head game
that distracts us from quality of life
to
the quantity of stuff for which we must pay.

There is a heart game
that giggles and grins and cares....

I wanna go that way....

In this quiet day, a soft breeze blows
Touching me with relief, only God knows
All that resides in this creation to be
Welcomed, with appreciation to see
A soft breeze blows, comfort in the moment
No yesterday or tomorrow, no wasted time spent
A quiet day, peaceful time, quality of life
So many simple things, to absolve any strife

No one cares the pain I feel
changing against the world
Just throw it all away
So I'm left with nothing?
The depression is over
but the anxiety is still there
always rushed to get the next thing done
Never living for myself
Never happy
always rushing
What quality of life is that?
School I'm never getting out of
work I can handle
Leaving my nights free
Always told I'm wasting time
Doing what I think is important...

Reading all the news
I sit here and reflect,
All those people said “he’s sick”-
Now currently correct.

President in quarantine
And his trophy wife,
What a marriage they do have-
Such quality of life.

Though they’ll have the best of care
I’m not at all desirous, 
The super model nudist 
And the husband who’s a virus.

Good USA people
Just know when you’re in doubt
He may die-oh why oh why
Or “Trump” the Covid out!...

Equal Rights are guaranteed by law
Quality of life has a major flaw
Universal acceptance will start the thaw
American laws are still too raw
Leadership lost the bigoted draw

Rights are rights, they belong to all
Idiots who fear to make the call
Give equality or watch the nation fall
Help the just tear down the wall
Truth prevail while hate will stall
See us from the dark ages crawl


Discrimination is discrimination no matter
how it is disguised....

Who is disabled?
Is it me, or is it you?
Should disability be based
On an anatomical stock-take,
Or based on what you can do?

For I can climb mountains,
I can soar through the sky,
And I can slay dragons,
With just a blink of an eye,
I can overcome barriers,
Fight against impossible odds,
Ignore patronising glances
And condescending nods.

So who is disabled?
Is it me, or is it you?
It is completely subjective,
It’s just your point of view …...

The Quality Of Life Is Gone
The water is not clear
The food tastes terrible 
The air stings the eyes
The fires are many 
The arid lands are multiplying
The days and nights are getting hotter
The diseases are many
The cures are a few
The faithful are without a prayer
The parents are no longer able to protect
The children have nowhere to turn
*
For the love of Earth 
What did we do to deserve this
For the love of Earth
It is what we didn't do

Staying outside my field of vision,
keeping alive all my suspicions,
that there beyond this sad veil of life,
my new reality, twists the knife.
Rubs salt in the wound, as if to say
"Neener neener, your staying this way".
Most of me, I would say, does believe,
for I have been, cut off at the knees.
Quality of life, strength, endurance.
Gone in the wind, leaving turbulence.
Thoughtful reflection, just keeps it there.
In my mirror, there's a stranger there....

Longevity inherited?
Brevity touches many
Strong constitution cherished
This world without pollution envy
Quality of life is a favor ferreted
Those who desire quanity and quality plenty

Desired to live to a hundred
Wired to be one- hundred- twenty  
Life cut short for mankind, have wondered
Someday answers find, scripted plenty
When the whole world has been plundered
Will longevity belong to any

On the journey to find myself
In a world of chaos
I dive in to take a better look
To find inspiration in a new light
The chance to take flight
To the horizon amongst the winds of time
Where freedom runs high
And I am more alive in the life of opened eyes
The chance to be me this time
To take on the new challenges that arise
Bringing a new passion
To the life I see in mind
Where I am more the person
I am meant to be when the light impresses a new look to the quality of life...
