Stays Poems - Poems about Stays

For the one who stays

She wakes before the sun,
packs two lunches—one for school,
one for work,
if she remembers to eat.

She brushes her child’s hair
while tying back her own pain.
She looks in the mirror and sees
a woman who stayed too long
for someone who only knew
how to disappear.

He said forever,
then broke it quietly.
Took the best of her years
and left her with
bills, baggage,
and

When the Door Stays Locked

You’ll come 
Knocking on my door 
One of these days 

And you’ll know 
What it’s like 
To be able to feel your insides 

That uncanny descending feeling 
Like a rock being dropped 
In the ocean 

Buckling your knees 
With a thump of desperation 
On my porch 

Silence ringing 
In your ears so loud 
You can’t

Birth rights; not wrongs

There are those born women'
And those born man
A very few are both genders
Yet none were ever born
As trans.!

Annie Stays Put

Her nickname perhaps should be ‘Whizzy’
She rushes round making me dizzy
Right now, she’s unwell
But asked me to tell 
That grim reaper guy that she’s busy

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same 
We all know how it goes 
Appreciate what you have when you have it
Everything isn’t meant to be forever 
Do things stay the same our entire life?
Hardly ever 
Change makes me uncomfortable 
Yet it’s still going to happen 
Life is meant to be full of passion
Starting over sometimes is necessary 
Facing

The Love That Stays

I didn't expect to see God showing me,
To remind me of what I already knew indefinitely,
The emotions become overwhelming and try to stand in the way,
But then again I knew God intentionally built me this way,
For without that part of me how could I ever feel? 
It's ingrained in my spirit, it's part of the

Still, She Stays

Her bathrobe hangs forgotten by the door.
Her clothes strewn all across the bedroom floor.
And I find that I don’t care anymore
For she’s still with me.
Her makeup takes up all the counter space.
My lonely toothbrush hasn’t got a place.
But now I see it all as such a grace
For she’s still with me.

	All I’ve done to break

THANKFUL WHEN OUR MIND STAYS YOUNG

Today I’m thankful as we grow older 
when our mind stays young and strong….
How, when our body tells us 
we’re too old to do something,
our mind says 
“DO IT…and prove your body wrong.”

Why the Husband Stays In the Garage

Just before the couple’s wedding day
a young man told me about his plan
How he and his wife would be equal
no difference between the woman or the man

All the chores like cooking and the cleaning
would be shared equally by each one
That way neither would have the burden
and working side by side would be fun

But after that

Nothing Gold Stays

Who can resist the strangulating grip of time?
That which exists today may not be there tomorrow
Like shooting stars which vanish in the flicker of an eye
Life comes and goes quicker than a darting arrow

The only constant in life is its inconstancy
With time, even our existence turns a myth
As every sunrise follows a sundown,
Each birth leads

Sylvia Stays Sedentary

Sylvia stays sedentary still seeking superiority 
Sometimes summarizing situations so subtilely*, 
Suddenly somnambulistic, she slips silently
Sensing some sarcastic silliness, soon senility. 

*alternate, archaic spelling for “subtly.”

Love Stays

LOVE STAYS 

I thought of you today
Just Like I did yesterday
Still can’t believe that you walked away - People Change
I hear time has a funny way
Of makin’ the memories fade
I wish you didn’t feel the same - People change
 
People change
People change
People change
But love stays
My love stays
 
This heart was always yours
Probably will be forever

What Happens In the Mustang Stays In the Mustang

I want to write up your adventures Ashleigh said.
Sometime later, I told her, after I am dead.
She did not understand and took an unauthorized selfie with me.
This made me mad, sol I took a dump on her beloved willow tree.

I am the king, so no one should take a photo without permission.
I drive a red

Death Comes Yet Life Stays

DEATH COMES YET LIFE STAYS

Death comes yet life stays

they say, all good things must end
they say, all good things must end
Yet they humanity doesn’t know the hell I’ve been
Been through here on terrain earth living daily

Darkness was my only companion until Jesus my light came and shine on me
I pray for your voice for God

True Love Stays

love stays

               when trees in fall

        bare of leaves. It's rays still

  shine in the winter of our discontent

when moon and stars flee the night sky,
