Turmoil Poems - Poems about Turmoil

Why don't I sleep? Those creepy crawlies under my bed Those monsters in my closet- they’re in my head instead The rotten apple is my heart I’m alone in the dark That black blanket pressing Down, down, down Cocooned and captured Yet comforted: The absence of sounds Whilst my thoughts drown Sleeping is for the weak I’m alert. Sound the...

Trapped within the soil Told stories filled with turmoil Carrying the weight of black history But it honours their memory By always remembering By never forgetting Soaked by the tears of the enslaved Waiting, hoping, praying to be saved The ground an unknowing witness To them being worked to death But in awe of their perseverance Throughout the...

Shadows are flying in my head. Emotions are lost . Darkness is running allover,thou life is a mystery. Deeply I feel sad, deeply I feel happy, asking why life is worthless.

Perhaps I wouldn't move if the train came. Not out of courage, just curiosity. What does it feel like? or just the experience, maybe. I sit down in the shower sometimes until the water forgets it's warm and I forget I have skin.

Thought, with intelligence? When? How about the proof? Setting fire to where and when? Devil, art aloof? Fire inspiration, thy pun. What to do for fun? Good sense, laddie, and reason! Fly not close to sun! Cold fusion, thy harpsichord. Crystal glass a-flow. Demon -sultan, fife and sword! Hell and Heaven, row... Toil and turmoil, tamarind. Dappled roes a-fly. O Reality, how ye thinned! Grinned the gangrel Sly! Water of the...

How to describe in words What i feel? The piano it can spill The music of my heart. But to share the soul in prose? Piano keys are not enough for me They sing of my soul the colour the feel Never the goddam juicy meat. Must i cut myself up? Feed the earth with my many pieces. Finally rise...

An argumentative person, She spins nuanced thoughts for hours, With an underappreciated approach, Her resentful nature keeps her afar.

A weir holds back the river against the flow of the morning tide I wonder how many thoughts, unspoken, lie behind its barrier- ponderings of love, turmoil, betrayal obstructed by the dam of emotional blocks struggling to break free from their confines. Like silent storms beneath the surface, they swirl in the depths of the mind, the dam of fear,...

Alone looking at the wall, I sit depressed. With the burns of despair in my heart suppressed. The canvas of life is as blank and lifeless as the wall....

Heart, what do you want? Is it in front? Uttering those whispers, You show me hopes of glimmers. Heart, are you confused? While my soul is used. But you, be at ease. As the divine will show you peace. ...
