Strife Poems - Poems about Strife

Our Time
It is just another day To be used as we like To choose joy as our companion Or embolden friction and strife It is just another hour To spend as we desire To embrace love as a mentor Or wallow in customized mire It is just another minute To be valued as a prize To caress truth as life’s foreplay Or nestle with deception and lies It...

Loving me includes a two-for-one, challenging package because I love and care for my grown, special-needs son. He said his love’s sincerity held my son in its reality. Loving him revealed my heart’s innate, soulmate measure, and the tenderness two honed hearts can lovingly render. Happiness surged and rose through my flesh, blood and bones. Call me old-fashioned, but after decades...

It's Worth Your Strife
Your work not seen By mere eye sight It's others eyes. Your worth not seen By your eye sight It's others sight. Your cause not felt By your own heart It's others heart. Your joy not seen The way you laugh It's how you cry....

Where Did I Go Wrong?
Where Did I Go Wrong? I was young, bright full of promise, full of light. High school passed in a blur, a victory too soon, too fast. They cheered, they clapped, Mom wept with pride, but I barely had time to feel it. Then the world changed. Tertiary welcomed me, but fate had other plans. A silent storm stole my path, cutting dreams before they could...

It is strife that life is rife
From scorching heat come if cool spells of rain, Lotus allures, let it from mud arise, If joy gets born from deepest pits of pain, Sorrows are sent to size us, make us wise. It’s strange if pleasure comes shorn of challenge, If road ahead is straight and smoothly laid, If life always shows bright...

Do You Know What To Do?
Do you know what to do Can you stay true When your life’s falling apart And yet I try to open my heart Wishes are fading I always seem to be waiting And even after ranting Do I know what to do? Does this answer your question, Because every time someone seems to mention, Legends always seem to make a mark, But last time I checked...

A mother's strife
And yet I see within those eyes, Not a beast in disguise, But prey with unheard cries, To it's faith it'll never know, That whimpers and hinders, Heady flame sunk in snow, One that had not yet roared in anger, One that had not yet learnt to bite, As hard and harsh, And filled with spite, To darken misty air, A growing girl, Who sang with flair, Who...

A Time to Heal The time has come to move on in life Leaving behind the tears and strife The time has come to start to feel And let all the old wounds heal Put away those fears and lonesome thoughts Or your life will come to nought Learn all over again to sing in your heart So everything will become bright Learn to...

Hope and Strife
Futile pondering My companion sublime Incessant counting A millionth time Of all the 'Why's, 'Should i not's And 'Why cant I's Stifling me in knots The silver lining I thought i'd find Still has me searching Far every cloud behind Meandering through This maze of a life Hope kindled and anew With a tinge of bitter strife....

Echoes of Strife: a Crumbling Reality
Upon the backdrop of an arid land, scorched by strife and climate, olive trees weep beneath piles of rubble while the innocent souls of Palestine suffer a cruel fate, burdened by unjustifiable collective punishment. They endure the crippling onslaught imposed on them by a powerful and relentless fist, crushing the poppy petals of resolution. As...

Living a long life can be at times trying, when people you've known are moving on, dying.. Eventually we all come to the end of that road. It's best to get prepared, not just be that squashed toad.. Larry passed from lung cancer from his years in the navy.. Karen died of cancer too, of which she fought most...
