Sweats Poems - Poems about Sweats

Frozen side of the sun
The sun having a frozen side~ a wish like a snowball in hell, or netting the wind while oceans b o i l in f i r e. The rage of its heat needs curtailing. I'm melting... like chocolates and candles~ roasting like chicken in an oven. How then do I hide...

Misty Sweats of Last Night Dreams
I had an heart ache yesterday......... So closed my lamp & call off the day. I dreamt.....i sweat Saw you in light........ While I was in dark & wet. Saw the moon.... Which we share everyday Fiddling with river of my emotions Which floods our souls evryday. We had those apples of memories & spitted seeds to grow stories....

In one graceful motion, I lift my love on high with all my strength, suffering and sweat until hills fall in shadow. Until my words die upon sweetened breath, I shall never forget - I am fated to long for our lover's duet. How can I break away, retreat from this - a taste of forbidden love for my soul to...

Under the blue sky she toils in sundrenched fields, bent and aching, brow dripping, eyes stinging. She wipes her face, stopping to rest, then back to work. Sitting on the...

A flamed anguish gathers in a bleak cellar of gray nights pounding on my veins, steaming through a roughened flesh; that in my days I have lost passion’s luster and solitude is the only elixir I rub for now. Yet in reflection, the breaths find out how this darkness can shed a glow upon excretion of angst: ...

I look a sight! And covering my skin are old loose sweatpants I don’t ever wear outside the house. That means I’m staying in! No lipstick. No mascara, and my hair is tied back in a ponytail. I need to shower. It could use a good shampoo! Instead, I grab a magazine to read. There isn’t too much else...

What makes us very proud and astute is the sweat of our labor; at the day's end, we gather around the abundant table of gratitude. We were told by our fathers who were wise and thrifty, " Work hard and reap the reward of your planted seed. " Why some prosper and others fall to poverty? It is fortitude: that willingness...

Time to head off to the gym, for my daily work out session Tummy bulging, thighs are wobbling, my body is in regression Once I was toned and oh so slim But the lure of sweets just sucked me in Chocolate and biscuits are my downfall A bag of ‘Minstrels’ I will eat them all Here in the gym I am...
