Short Vainly Poems

exhausted heart weeps
vainly she treds the dark sea
   no sane land in sight...

King Charles hides amongst the tree’s branches;
his enemy walks below
vainly searching for him....

Our insides twisting
Yearning to sprout
Weaving through
Veins...waiting vainly
To bear gifted fruits....

Most well-known dinosaur I suspect
Is the star of Hollywood, Tyrannosaurus Rex
These guys vainly
Walk around mainly
But to fly Pterodactlyls must flap like heck...

That zero
That infinity
Vainly
Vanity
No beginning
No end
Pot of mud or
Pitcher of water 
Trunk of wood or
Totality...
Truth is truth
Truth is all...

Remember when I fell
Under your magic spell
My heart caged in a cell
I didn’t do so well 
Vainly trying to yell
So broken I couldn't tell
Anyone it felt like hell....

Vainly searching who to be
Avidly yearning for more in me
Narcissistic jubilee 
Isolated tendencies
Trifle bouts of insecurities
Yawning at the piercing pleas

The dark enchanted with death,
in utter silence, its stealth
fervor searching vainly deep,
drawing breath, soon all will sleep.

Any boy could do everlasting friendships
Gearing higher is just key 
learning more not only prospering
Quite responsibly searching
Touching. Understanding. 
     Vainly Wanting.   
     Xenobiotic. Zen....

Violated as one
viciously assaulted
via someone else’s
violent angry actions
varying in depth of 
various cruelty
vainly perpetrated.

Various vagabonds vandalized viable vertebrae.
Vitalizing voodooist’s vociferous vultures verified.
Vagarious vagrants vainly validating vultures’ vocabulary.
Variety of vertebrae venomously vindicating venial vagabonds....

The proud ruler known vainly as Saklas
In the abyss proudly proclaimed with brass:
“I am god, no other but me!”
Then a voice above said in glee:
“You are completely wrong Saklas, you ass.”

stealthily stalking
   grasses of gold disguise him....
      serengeti king

streaks of black and white
   pounding out panic's pursuit....
       dusty clouds of fear

weaklings fall away
   struggle vainly to survive....
      nature roars aloud...

SAD*

When right is wrong
yet wrong isn't right
I lay awake on winter’s night
vainly searching for inner light
finding only emptiness within.
There is no form here only
an amorphous vapour
obscuring all and
revealing nothing.

I thought I loved you

Love? This wasn't love
Only a bunch of emotions misconstrued 
Vainly groomed
Endangering my heart and mind too

You probably thought you loved me too
Only to find out it wasn't true 
Until I'm sure I'm stable and true, I'll no longer think I love you too...

Fall's levitating leaves,
wafting on gentle breeze.
Each one vainly believes
it can fly high with ease.
Colors beg hearts to cease!

Kaleidoscopic trees
wave wild without surcease, 
flailing sleeveless chemise,
bringing one to one's knees.
Radiant days to please!  ...

Visibly bald from losing his hair,
lucky uncle explores healthy fare. 

Fresh veggies constrain follicle halt, 
fixing a maturing hairline’s fault.

Vainly Uncle George emits forced yawns 
glibly disarmed as new girlfriend fawns.

I flinch on the very
Idea to move
Beyond where you let
Me see through.
I blame being ajar,
A bit stifled too
I take it all out,
Vainly on you.
Truth be told,
I wudnt dare,
Go down that road
The dreaded nightmare.
Anticipation works,
Hope has it's charm.
Held by a strand,
Held, Holding on....

When the dawn comes! 
Behind my shadow - disappears
One and multi shadows. 
 
There was no star. 
Where, appeared, dawn in the alley. 

Two shadows we were, 
Your shadow nullify mine,
Then disappears! 

When the dawn comes! 
Words passing into mirrors!
  
Vainly I was looking for.

How can I go on,
When you have gone?
How can I not grieve,
When you have taken your leave?

How can I not cry,
When without you I want to die?
How can I fall asleep,
When all night for you I’ll weep?

How can I not feel so low,
When my heart you vainly stole?
How can I live again,
When in me there is so much so pain?...

infallable ego's , vainly clinging

thoughts of wealth and virtue bringing

distant sounds , astounding , ringing

deaf ears , fear , angel's singing

contradictions closely mingling

unity 
        still
               a
                  far
                       off
                            reasoning..............

Courage lay bleeding
In an abyss of despair
And he lay
Mulishly silent
More dead than alive
In tranquil pristine desuetude

The warrior
In unaccountable muse
Annoyed but sympathetic
Tried vainly 
To raise an appetite 
For death

Despair himself
Sat superstitious
Of this deliberate chaos
And loathed 
The shifting reverberations
Of solitude....

To conquer the kingdom, vainly he tried
Her minutest army ready for siege
Oh, the flying flu booming like a phage
Begging on his knees, for kindness he cried.
