The Ashes Poems - Poems about The Ashes

Bruised and battered, I still remain. Each scar a tale of silent pain. Two years of hell, I walked alone, A fractured heart, a broken bone. They never saw, they never knew, The storms I fought, the nights I blew. Yet from the rubble, I now arise, A...

Walking on Egg Shells Each step, a fragile whisper, Cracking beneath the weight of your gaze, I tread lightly through the shards of us, Every word a potential storm, Every silence, a noose tightening. You wore charm like armor, A smile that could disarm a heart, Yet behind it, shadows danced, Manipulation dripped like honey, Sweet but thick with poison. I learned to read your moods, A...

The house is quiet, her voice is gone, I let her drift like morning’s song. I held my pride like a burning flame, But it was me who struck the match of blame. She gave her heart, but I turned away, Chasing shadows that led me astray. Now all the dreams we built are torn, And I’m left holding the thorns of...

In a sea of roses, the ashes of your ghost still wander, breathing you in deeply, I try to pierce through the veils of time, but to no avail, only a bitter emptiness fills my weary soul. Fate tempts me, taunts me with the echo of your voice, in the dead of night, when sleep refuses to be my...

In shadows deep, a moment changed, With scars as stories, my path rearranged. From whispers dark, I found my voice, In every stumble, I made my choice. The world now glows with vibrant light, Embracing life, I rise and fight. With hope as my guide, proud and free, I live...

In the shadow of Christmas, I stand, frayed, Where chaos once danced, now only I’ve stayed. It was never a season of peace, of light, Just the storm of their voices, the weight of their spite. The tinsel, the laughter—so foreign, so cold, A hollowed-out ritual, a story retold. Family gathered, yet I was erased, A ghost in the silence, an empty...

Out of the ashes we rise, Hot embers into the skies. We gather to set the world ablaze. To our Father, the God of Heaven and Earth we praise. And with a shout demons flee, And we walk in liberty. Within His children there is a flame, And He knows each by name. Our God reigns from on high, And He guides with a...

Alouette Me Poetry Contest Andrea Dietrich Honey did you care We matched like a pair Now our life is a train wreck All that's left is smoke There's bills, and we're broke You lost your job and paycheck You will lose the house And a faithful spouse Because you couldn't stand tall You lowered yourself Your weed was top-shelf For your buzz, I took the fall...

A girl who's incredibly shy, But if she opens up, she's like a bon-bon, So colorful and exciting, Her friends help her fly, Another young lass, Who will let you stand under her umbrella, When your feeling down or lost, But watch out for her sass, Again another lady, yes, Who needs encouraging and support, Her friends stand behind her and say; You will never be...

Elephants will head for higher ground before a Sunami makes landfall. The flocks will sing desperate songs and fly quickly from devilish fires. While donning his three-piece silky suit man-unkind kneads another infinity bomb... as glassy moths nibble away his soul. Leaving their powder to humor his ashes. Stupid-stupid man, a pawn to his ego. ...

The rooster crows to signal dawn with all the drama it may spawn and from which lessons will be drawn Hearts may break, love may linger on Love's sweet song, it was her delight Before the day turns into night Heartbreak's song will echo her plight and discordant notes will take flight For...

Mother enters the room with a broom her ears ringing. Father screams: "you did not just say that filthy word!" I did, I said it, yet not at all knowing what was what. The C word was in my six year old mouth - it is still there. It has transmuted, it is a Phoenix that ever redefines the nature of fire....

Trapped under the debris Of fallen crumbled mass, Where once stood grand structures Upon my mighty lands. I built painstakingly Over time, patiently, With monumental hopes And glamorous daydreams, To see them get shattered By those violent brawls, Cursed on my sacred grounds, Secretive and sudden. Engulfed in solid blocks, Covered in scary wounds, At last, my fears turn true, The pain, dread, and despair. As I am feeling weak, The fatigue...
