Strangers Poems - Poems about Strangers

Play staged, they came, mostly strangers to the stage, as first time viewers, to watch the play - 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow'. Noisiest crowd I ever heard, au naturale, to boot. They ate popcorn, mumbled throughout, if bored they left, if frightened they screamed, if spellbound they gasped, if awestruck they sighed, if saddened they moaned. The live stage play in Charing Cross Road...

Why don't you just quit this nonsense It's time to give up this very fight He hung from that cross early morning Until the bitter chill of the night Strangers came by to see Him None offered Him one bit of help Torn, tattered and beaten His God came to greet Him Caressed Him and saved His Son from hell ...

Only when my costume’s Been hissed at with steel Do my garments ripple in small, stormless waves. Only when my mask Has been greased in pale mud Do my blemishes blend with the sea of my face. Only when my hair’s Met a shower of glue Does it cow to the waves that my fingers might make. Only when my prop Has been sharpened in...

From obscurity, strangers emerge like shadows of a forgotten dream at the break of day, vanishing like old dangers, whispering stories on the street of dreaming flowers, where each passerby becomes a ghost of light in the twilight hour, some exchanging sweet words, like echoes of bells in the evening breeze. By my porch, a blackbird sings summer symphonies...

Strangers Date Lets meet as if strangers at the bus stop, she winked as she spoke You sit on the bench like any other ordinary bloke I will arrive with a red rose You with a white carnation you expose Like total strangers meeting for the first time Late if you wish, but I'll be on time You look with breathless anticipation,...

Brought my daughter to physical therapy appointment She is filling out three long pages of paper work – front and back I am listening to other people’s conversations Learning about strangers keeps me in writing material My ears are as high as an alert rabbit as I listen to others I keep my head down, pretending I am not writing...

Out of the mist of silence, strangers emerge, slowly fading into the midday light their steps rustle petals, and the flower-filled street stirs like an old dream. I let my thoughts drift, white, like a fluff of feather among tender shadows, I hear how the voices of passersby become the scent of apricots – then oblivion erases them. A...

The moment I looked, the world was full of nameless strangers, And on a night when darkness sparkled, tears flowed silently, My eyes caught yours, as if I had found a hidden dream, I wished to sing your beauty with my gaze, a silent melody, I wished to write you with my lips, a story of desire and fire, I...

Surrounded by strangers who love me. [Un]strangers made strange by pain. Words the same as always, the same as nothing, when nothing is the same. Lost and last to know; lost and last to love. I am the last one lost. For you cannot see even a bubble; once it is popped. Falling not flying. One lost, bloody word, like the lost...

I am not a coward man de facto Who has lots of curiosity courageous With full of consciences in mind Having to retreat from girl strangers Who's looking for the Like-minded friends Being young and pretty excels diamonds They're attractive to distinct genres of men And making them pride while being faint I understand these be so-called romantic But...

Mother, father, you are the strange migrants who arrived before me, I see you moving away, for no home anywhere could complete us all, and strangely, now I am before you. Sister, brother, child, we never did know which way to go, or from where we arrived from. A family history is no more nor less...

You promised love whatever the weather, That you will be with me without a break, In the hardest storm we'll be together. That there's nothing you won't do for my sake. You even said you'd die if I leave you. So you filled my heart with love to its brim And you made me to love you through and through. But now...
