Toughed Poems | Examples


No Greater Wish than Sweet Companionship

I’ve long since been gone but now I wish to return, if you’ll let me. I was down the thorny path, in the woodchipper, stuck in time, dancing into deed. It’s no match, a man with a curse vs a man with a heart. Its ten to zero, ones not even fighting. We’ve seen the underbelly of the storm cloud, flashing with scowling bolts of canary yellow. Cried onto the flat pale of the earth. So that the ponds and lakes filled like eyes trying to sting away tears. Mothers and fathers have seen tougher times. You’ve toughed out the times, but I've looked the other way. I still want to hold you until the mourning doves set the stage for the sun. We can watch a movie together and forget that it’s on. There will be peace. When it’s all said and done there won’t even be a hatchet.

Premium Member A Most Resolute Guy Am I

With less than three months to go
     I'm the most resolute guy I know

   Last January one, 2022
     I resolved to my family this year to do:

   Never to let a day pass me by
     without giving some chocolate a try

   I know it sounds tough, but I've toughed every day out
     And here I am in October, successful ~ if stout


The Mystery

The mystery

The mystery of life is enduring
what is its purpose?
A couple having sex on grandfather´s sofa
while he is out milking his two cows.
The consequences of this brief union
was far from the couple´s mind.
So, I ask again, what is life´s purpose?
Was there a plan behind it?
Winning the toughed race and be born?
Or was it only a happendash?
Something a spur of the moment encounter
Was the newborn destined to become great?
And leave behind the immensity of the human mind
So, the individual could understand its meaning
“what was it all for, Alfie?”
The devil had a good day bringing forth another loser
doomed to the lowest rung of the ladder
and bring the idiot´s genes further down the abyss.

Chasing Infinity

Last night, my longest.
The dreary routine of sleepless nights.
Tossing and turning,
Wishing for could Be's,
Living off impossibilities.

A heart worn from loving you,
My body simply lifeless.
I gave you my prized possession,
That wasn't enough.
The warmth in your tone,
Makes my walls crumble every time you speak.

Your touch weakens me, Asthenia
My hands toughed from working for your love
My feet bleed from running after you
Chasing you, is like chasing infinity
So many walls to break down, 
So many undealt with emotions.
Too many restrictions to get to you,
I give up.

Idi

With its longevity as that of a man,
Free from its Earthly tether
The glance of its eyes chilled  the sun
Shadowing and altering wind.
Wings taller than trees
Talons toughed as rock
The peaks are its abode
With speed, its swoop and snatch
Soaring in strength
Shimmering cliffs that brightly shine
Maneuvering  menopause,
My name is Idi

                                                                               Awoh Awoh

*idi means eagle in Yoruba, a language spoken in South-West of Nigeria


Jesus Toughed My Heart

Jesus toughed my heart an it was not same.
He set me free from my sinful  ways.
He gave me heaven .
Just by letting him touch my heart.
The chains was broken around my soul now it feels nothing but love.
Hate and anger has left my heart.
I can now fly free where the angles sing in heaven above 
just by letting Jesus touch my heart
