Sorrowful Poems | Examples

Premium Member Sorrowful Solace

Some will savor their sorrow

They claim the pain defines them

No love they beg or borrow

Disdain takes aim and binds them

Some will survive their sorrow

They claim the rain reminds them

Of love they'd beg to borrow

No pain they claim defines them

Sorrowful Ghoul

I am a sorrowful ghoul,
With a tear in my eye that refuses to fall,
A hollow stomach thirsting for life,
But a soulless body, full and satisfied...

Premium Member Sorrowful Journey

All concrete jungles we create cannot soothe the soul.
The Foreboding structures of our prison brings in woe.

It surrounds us, enticing a lonely heart into sorrowful tears.
We wander around, lost in meaningless life over the years.

We try to distract ourselves from this lonely lament.
Clinging onto things, a lonely love, and connections, not sent.

Alone, we bathe in deep reflection of wondering who we are.
We capture the slight essence of a calling, calling from afar.

Dark terrors of night, prey on the innocent, drinking their fear.
Trembling, as hate echoes painful words with disdain and a sneer.

Oh, the horizon yields a blue light of hope and promise.
We are willing to follow the whispering call as it insists.

We walk an arduous path of trepidation and uncertainty.
Our heart now knows that we will be fine with wonders to see.

The twilight surrenders to the warm beautiful sun of life.
Gaia breathes into her whispering wind emanating life's light.

Gaia gathers life to herself as we feel love pulsating on the Earth.
It is given to us as we merrily embark on our ascension of birth.


Premium Member The Sorrowful Sun

 It never shines for the most ,     
it is enshrouded by heavy, leaden
           clouds.
          Shines for the few extremely
             well.
          They shape it with great
           care and it never touches
               them and
            the other suffer systematically.
            Their shoulders never withstand
                      His sonorous voice .
               They always seek shelter                                       
              from the rainy happiness.
               Oh Lord ,Oh Lord ,i beg you,
                 i beg you to  obliterate
                   the inhuman, gold.

The Sorrowful Unbaked Cookie Heart

and snow dream)tears!Shout   i'm an over/undone heart
    sweet muffin bird-like  feathers tickle me
the streaked glass-water:
 flowers between summer   hearts struck my eyes,
  lips so tenderly crushing stones(h-u-r-t) dreams
  oooh, sir!  the proper name you sang
  when speaking to me!
so -- Victorian girl
  )oh god -- keeping me
    sheeps like lamps  covering dark nights
a water colored canvas   m e a n i n g
  love is what we   denied twice.
i broke my soul    in a shout
forgetting un. der (lies)
i'm a self-crumbling
cookie unbaked
  will you eat me?
no.  i crumble

Premium Member Sorrowful Song

SORROWFUL  SONG 

          Pain of separation 
                          penned a lyric
                          mesmeric
                          melody of music.
        oozing lamentation.

      
           Tune resonating in purity
                           on sullen sadness
                           in morose madness
                           and crooning cadence
     touching grief-stricken beauty.


          Sorrowful song! Fantastic fantasy 
          on charm of ethereal ecstasy.

Premium Member I Am Sorrowful Father God Give Me a New Start I Repent of This Sinful Heart-

Come before you Father with shame in my heart;
Apologetic and sorrowful it remains I am in the dark;
So thoughtful yet thoughtless I do in part;
Repentance I am sorry Father forgive me my sins give me a new start;

Sorrowful

 Many of my thoughts dwell in the past
Surely, I longed to feel the breeze of your touch
Each day feels like a drag 
Down is where I pick myself up

Please hear me when I say 
I say my heart is in vain 
Begged for it to come at peace to fix a broken piece

Please listen to me when I say
I say my soul is unease 
Wished to mend it with no more broken piece

Sorrowful Event of Life

We all know what is life!
But the thing that we don't know 
Is the sorrow caused in our life 
With the end of someone
Who is our most nearly one.
The only thing which makes our feeling hurt
Is the sorrowful event of our life.

Same happens to me 
When I lost some
Lovely one
But nothing was not in my hand.
So that I can do some grand
I felt grief when I thought that 
I am not able to saw him last time.

My luck is not supporting me 
I not even seen him for the last time.
With full of questions which I want to ask him
Left in my mind 
Hey! God ,Why you took my grandfather 
With you along.
This is sorrowful event of my life remains in my mind.

When one makes a mess;
 it is always best,
 to clean it up when someone, makes a wrong choices; 
A bit that angered voice;

To request forgiveness;
And sorrowful  revelation;

In An Ancient Castle, In a Terrible, Sorrowful Dungeon

In an ancient castle, in a terrible, sorrowful dungeon,
The guide showed the tourists a skeletons scatter.
Tourists whispered in horror: - Who dumps them?  
The guide gloomily dropped: - It is already not matter,
Irrelevant who they are, but ask yourself:- Why?
People attempted to save money on guide?

Premium Member A Heartfelt Action

A HEARTFELT ACTION 

It was a bitter, gloomy, windy  day,
The sun didn’t show us even a ray
It was raining buckets of torrential rain
A vendor stood shivering and in pain
With only a t-shirt on his back,
We were cozy, we did a backtrack,
My father jumped out of the warm car,
The sorrowful human being wasn’t far
Picking up stubs, smoking, had no packet
Dad ran in the rain taking off his jacket,
Helped the drenched man to put it on,
So he didn't think my father was a con,
Oh what a darling Dad I had, such a kind
Soul, a heart of gold, and a thoughtful mind!
He put a hundred rand in the man’s pocket,
He noticed his eyes were deep in their socket,
The vendor was shocked his silence a thank-you
My father nodded, he was touched, for he knew!
