Velleity Poems | Examples


Birthday Velleity

Two years and 8 months of sorrow, 
her eighth birthday's here, 
Memories of laughter, 
now a labyrinth of grief's dark passage. 
I failed her, 
leaving her to face the abyss alone, 
The silence is a heavy mantle, 
crushing my heart neath the stone.

I wander through the darkness, 
searching for a way to repair, 
But grief's shadows loom, 
a pain that's hard to share. 
In every negated celebration, 
I hear the whispers of what could have been, 
A life that was slowly devoured, 
leaving only sorrow and darkness within.

Facades Dying Star

Bird with feathers of fire, phoenix metronome,
bursts on the edges of the atmosphere.
Crumbling to dust, ash and powdery bones,
fore a chance never truly appears.
A velleity is made at her shooting tomb,
deities will not honor this wish I fear.
Her diary, her historical tome,
inferno makes disappear.
She was never here.
Heart and spear
Arrow flange
Beak tip
Cupid

Supernova shot in the dark
Earth holds its breath
Lost a work of art
Flames it reigns
Pyre it rains

Sapphire jejune illustration lives onyx mockery

Lost Forever

Despite this monster inside me
Despite this creature I have become 
Something more siren than human
Beckons to the benthic of woe
I must be crazy
This cannot be real

Then the words crawl into my ear
Your the essence of pandemonium 
Chaos orchestration symphonies of moribund
Threnody of the last spark pathetic velleity 
We are one entity
Abyssal dismal flicker of an ember snuffed out

Choke on billowing smoke
Lost in the tenebrous, anger filled the air
I am not broken
Teeth glare 
Fangs bubonic virulent crush 
Caricature of the future versus sentinel of what was

Sweet Tooth

Grimoire enchantress beguiles vetala invictus, slicka min kisse, hehe just kidding, just a u’i lata spreading sugar, a sweet gift. A snarl like smile crosses my countenance as I manifest into a deity of quintessential grandiloquence on this edifice, casting thy maestra symphony to be or not to be liminal esoteric Mnemosyne velleity, but in fact a vatic edict on tantalizing your most intimate sultry.

Necromantic kissy kissy muah, to the necrobiotic, rictus lambent lament, melodious songbird choir of sempiternal complexity to make sanguinary fervid incipient lachrymose flooding the streets. Cross this lycanthropic malediction for I ventriolic assanina husks empyrean arcana dismal fates under thy hex with the depths psychopomp Yggdrasil.

Careful where you tread mortal, goddess of the nigh is here, witchess gazes through the fenestral, nocturne saucers glimmer as the siren lures you with serenades and her visage, just an itty bitty bite is how it starts, catch a sweet tooth and it will splay you apart. Velvets bear jagged fangs emptying your chest cavity of your heart, delicate if it’s eaten before it stops.

Denouement

Inamorato,
Ascultate my vociferation!
Contravene your sepulcher.
Insurrect our omnipotent.
I enjoin thine quintessence.
Eupnea!
Eupnea!
Whilom anon.
Euphoria salvo.
Eschewal Valhalla's porticullis.
Genitive hedonic, envisage.
Erewhon betwicts my gammons.
Imbibe of my mammilla's.
In perpetuum cache me.
Gehanna upon macrocosm.
Forlorn.....
Forsaken......
Your Inamarata writhes.
Is thus kismet?
Cull Inamarato!
Winnow!
I abjure forthwith.
Abaddon velleity extirpate my noumenon,my pneuma.

Draped In a Lavender Light

I wore fear
 like a winding sheet,
 leaving behind trails
 of dead dreams

I held hope in my hands
 and weeping, it slid
 through my fingers
 evaporating to naught

I undulated to music
 praying for redemption
 within the passage,
 I was left bereft, still, taciturn

but by relinquishing velleity
 into the firmament,
 and smashing my glass heart
 for the loves' of my life 

I've begun to believe
 in miracles again,
 I am finding the way
 that comforts my soul 

A shimmering
 lavender light,
 shines with serenity
 burns out the fear
 and builds a blaze of hope,
 by loving without doubt 

the whips of regret
 are now unmoving
 fires have been stoked,
 this mystery now has élan 

I am flesh, reborn out
 and into this life, once again.

Your Secret Admirer

Balmy by the looks so beguiling 
A sudden feeling aroused by the essence so quest,
You simply smile by the au jus of your lips - 
A solitaire awaited by the presence so lest, 
Whoso you deserve – a solemnity within shone;
A panorama of thoughts, a swain to be, yours
A secret admirer. 

Yenned for the day so longed
A fortune behold by the ephemeral so cadged,
You simply versed by the espy of your eyes - 
A moribund velleity now braced by the apathy of days,
Whoso you deserve – a solemnity within shone;
A panorama of enamors, an amigo to be, yours
A secret admirer.

Faith for the beguile so au fait
A hollo minced by the depth so pulsated
You simply filched thy heart by the ires so true
A nascence of juvenile by the paroles of numb
Whoso you deserve – a solemnity within shone;
A panorama of wordses, a promise to be, yours
A secret admirer.

Bugsy

Confidence fades away
Clothes to the wind
My cracking glass, the nightscape
Contorted into vixen reds and apparition dark
Seventeen

Kitsch eyes, as kitsch as a child
Crying in a kitchen scene over spilt milk
Shrinking under giant flaming wings of a morbid sun god
A flower in the rocks craving eleemosynary of sunlit droplets
Dew sticking heavy, a glue to papier-mâché the fine parasol
Poverty of any subtle scintella, a florid propinquity or velleity 
Slinking into the puissant moon dust but with all the style
Of a dead inurement Sickert slick

My sui generis malapropisms
Cruel bowdlerization of a grouping wall and night

The hard outer shell of flesh
The ladybug, the thumb
The ladybird and stupid shibboleth.

_

Daffy, I said I'd write something called Bugsy :D
