Wail Poems - Poems about Wail

My grandmother knew the exact moment I was born. She was sitting in the passenger seat of my grandfather’s navy blue Jeep Wrangler. Speeding down the New Jersey turnpike, the windows trembled against rushing air. She closed her eyes and said, “I just heard my baby granddaughter cry.” Every time she tells this story, I imagine my first guttural wail transcending miles of houses, trees, and...

The other day I lay for an echo of my heart The technician scanned my chest and sides I could hear my heart pant aloud Oh boy! Was that a chugging train, a distant wail, water gurgling, or a rhythmic rub inside an empty tub? The guy sure was at frantic speed wailing all the while Thank the Lord He has made sure we never...

Carrying the fever and heat of love’s first flame, I set out on a journey expectant and anxious, sealed and tight lipped, all emotions bottled. From port to port I journeyed, travelling in a little love vessel. What a heavy cargo of dreams I carried with the scent of memories perfumed. Did a black cat cross my path? Behind all veils of cloud, hope lingered My...

THE WAIL OF A MOTHER Their ears are closed to human Suffering and fear Saying this case will take years to decide Because they cannot hear A Scream A Groan A Cry A sound like no other While collapsing to the ground The wail of a mother They give a farce, a PR game Though everybody knows Children are dying every day But their ears they choose to close To A...

The Wail of the Mistress In shadows thrown by city lights, A soul awaits the darkest nights, A mistress with a heart unknown, Whose beauty shines, yet feels alone. She walks the streets with graceful stride, Her spirit wounded, deep inside, Each step a tale of smothered pain, In search of love she can't attain. She pours her soul into her trade, An art form...

I blundered … through the dark forest - I knew where I was headed though I’d lost the trail many hours hence but darkness had now fallen and my face and arms were etched red from my many stumbles (tripping in the inky black briars) … the scream came again though scream was not the word for it - no, not nearly the word for the...

The wound becomes inward like the pink moon after a little rain. It glows and then becomes red as the blood and the wool of the wail dangling white like a sheep in the wind. And this thorn that now curves in your breast; you will not bring to the garden nor to the throned light. It lies at your...

Nature, thou art so great. The sun still shines so bright. All alone I walk with the wind. Trees line up on my way in robes of green. From branches, birds trill joyous songs. Breeze giggles among leaves. I love you dear, Nature. The light, will soon fade out. Upon reaching back home, the day would have bade its goodbye. Alone I have to brood in deep silence. It's...

Up the hill upon a rickety stool I watched afloat With clouds of lonesomeness for company The richest streams flow From a source of dreams they come The wails a song so rich, yet the reality of the source so poor Oh! Oh! Destiny unfulfilled, regrets come to life It is a clash of reality that was, reality that is and...

One day sirens will cross the roads wailing, In an attempt to clear the blocked paths, Immovable stones, lifeless souls, To avoid mishaps A faint heartbeat persists, A hopeless sound None too sweet Unheard by the passer byes Heard by the birds in skies Sirens will continue wailing Chasing across the endless roads With a hope too high too fatal Occupied by a...

A heart of dark sentiments! What did my dark periscope see? A misogynistic judge presiding over a case; An interesting case of A woman who reneged midway on a pact. I was but a witness lest you be curious Why I stood so still. Prior, I saw her mixing the colours of abuse; A sweetheart's leprous weapon of bitterness Enshrined in a soul...

Amazing grace Let the bagpipes play While in blissful peace I lay Beneath rolls of morning mist Let bagpipes whine and wail At the portal of my heart Tugging at the gateway of my soul Releasing timeless ageless tears In supernal universal rhythm As generations of kindred spirits Swirl above the eerie misty morn AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 4, 2019 for contest YOUR...
