Skeletally Poems | Examples


Victorious Shine

I too get lost sometimes
I too often struggle to find my way back home
I too get depressed and at times consumed with the blues
The mind is such an awful trap and that truly a fact

You tapped me on the shoulder and brought me back to joy
You said snap out of it and shake off that worthless pain"
I am so thankful that you pulled me from the back
You snatched me from the precipice and avoided a panic attack

We must find our soft landing when walking in and out of time
Had you withheld your courage from me I would be infested with worry
But you injected your ray of hope and heel me with your rope
It is indeed a horrible situation when trusted hearts are broken

What an honorable feeling it is when the wondering lost are found
Yes life throws a lot of pit-bulls and curve balls at our wall
But with proficiency and guidance we grow like skilful catchers
Restitution of happiness is built even when our ships are caving in

I can't tell you how to carry on for weariness makes you disabled and skeletally frailly
Just reach for that switch and turn your oil lamp on
The light you see has a victorious shine and beauty sends its pride
Trade your gloom with bloom and see your way out soon.

Destination

The bony finger beckons,
The skeleton’s white hands
Invites us all.  The skull-pale pall
Of marble juts and stands
Monumental, in the grave-thick lands.

Oblivion’s sweet country
Is glowing moonlit-bright,
The markers loom.  Each urn-capped tomb
Is skeletally stark tonight.
Hasten toward the tempting, funereal light…
