Unpassed Poems | Examples


Song

Teach me how to pray, Lord.
Teach me how to pray.
In my darkest day, Lord,
When my mind would stray,
Teach me how to pray.

There  are days when my thoughts run fast
With future fears and an unpassed past,
When I would moan or I would boast,
In days when I need silence most,
Teach me how to pray.
Chorus.

There are days when words won't come, 
When sadness leaves me deaf   and numb..
When I forget your welcome way,
Remind me what I need to say;
Teach me how to pray.
Chorus.

Old Friend

Memories silently glide by behind like little ghosts
Memories become passive figurines playing with my hands like a toy
I find myself sometimes inside the guise of a boy

And I find myself a while engulfed in all these times 
Behind the walls of one eyed cupboard doors
For hide and seek:  I’ve blocked myself so many times that I just couldn’t reach
All! of this past 
And I just cannot breach the breadths of casted open glass
That seems to keep me here
Whereby I connect with you always

Inside my heart you play
Buzz, hand tennis and marble games
Remember Mrs what’s-her-name that kept us late after class?
For our handwriting tests and English grammar left unpassed
Old friend?
Remember the Robin Hood play?

 
Remember all that we have done, that all seems crystal clear
And all the time, the good times
The times that now have disappeared

As we stand behind the doors of where we once were found
With laughter, cheers, sighs and dropped brows
Good friend and now
Memories silently glide by behind like little ghosts

Ben Folds Five

unwindling deeds sweep through four man's cross
washing away the wrong i have done in tross
over the misty moutian tops i have walked stubbling over all rocks, the loss of 
balance knocks
walking in my shoes and gaze around in a look down
 i have found that i stand alone on this sacred ground 
all messages unpassed clown 
openly giving evreything i ever had in my possion
allthough all i have is blind intention
i seperate the emachatude of wisdom an intelect
i was born into toleration and inprisonment
i have strived too for the mercy that  was never given or shown
i will not return home for i have long been forgoten    
could i should i would i
no
