Vanquished Poems - Poems about Vanquished

Folks, I perused it in black and white; The Octogenarian verbalized after the civil war that "There are no victors and no vanquished." Scores of years gone by, we now visualize Who the victors and the vanquished are. The victors are: The remorseless oppressors, and downpressors, Who traverse our land in their private jets and bullet proof SUVs, protected by a swart...

A turtle dove I landed on your chest Widened the jagged crack Your Heart chambers shivered Quiet silver ripples in a Tender Garden of Eden Watching me, your son Clapped his hands in orange glee I sought some breadcrumbs Which I found upon your stable sea I was vanquished by the I Within your I...

Their pride was wounded, And the win turned pyrrhic red, Felt nigh defeated When they saw some hands wave flags O from a pile of dead rags. __________________________ Tanka |04.03.2022| war Poet’s note: The way unequal Ukraine has given fight to the Russian might, knowing of their resolve amidst the so-called friends deserting them, and the way the invading Russians are...

Admitting painful cause of childhood fright I would cringe hearing … “Ghosts appear tonight especially to the cowardly nervous…” Such tortured me with panic so grievous. Yet, in pretense, my heart struggled to cope while loathing ghost stories that vanquished hope robbing me once of bliss I yearned to claim… Such propped me to face weakness against shame. Nurtured by parents midst loving...

Tapering off in a redundant gesture of defeat An erroneous life silently suffocating on fumes Indoctrinated since birth and reprogrammed by independent perception Disenchanted as the layers peel back revealing the perverted roots of a seemingly fruitful surface...

You pride yourself as the conqueror of humanity You boast that your power over man is awesome And strike him numb with fear You sneak into his life announced Sometimes you appear unannounced But always with devastating finality The rich cannot tame you The poor quake as you come knocking The mighty tremble before you The royalty dread you perpetually As a veritable threat to...

If you a seeking for trust? Behold deep within your inner self. Prisoner in a castle called chest. Captive in a chamber that's blood red. Bound by shackles of impure deeds. Whose jagged edges have defiled. The basic definition of humane kind. She is the love child of hope and charity. Apocryphal gospel preached by demigods. Inundating the analytical mind. Begetting a cesspool of...

Fighting halos & absurd romantic logos Trying to rid myself of this feeling This feeling of surrender Trying to rid myself of this needing This needing to surrender Afraid of what I might become If I come undone Fearing I've already pushed my love away Knowing he & I were meant to be Crying hopeful tears of regret Sighing breathless words into the wind Thinking back...

Changed climate is not a surprise With drilling for gas on the rise Where can life forms hide From carbon dioxide And methane let loose in the skies? Neo-druids auger gas wells And add fluids with sulfurous smells! Are poisons they've tapped With their magic wands trapped Evermore by sorcerous spells? Votes and news seem not relevant The unrelenting elephant In all our best rooms Is...

An unseen ghost Knows just who to scare By bringing fear He meanders down an alley To find an unsuspecting man One taste he wants To indulge to the fabric Of this life’s being He appears to him This man of vanquished spirit So pained he ignores The fearful ways of a ghost So rarely cast aside by pain No soulless being Has ever withstood a ghost’s Intricate forceful ploys...

Darting up and down, left and right Over my little being With fright you easily show your might Have I ever sought your meaning? Have you ever stopped and wondered? Torrid pendulum striking, yet unheard, Of what use is that behaviour? Of losing your utmost valor! Even if your shield is your armor And your weapon lies in being an actor! Vincible you are and...
