Watched Poems - Poems about Watched

I watched as the city burned in flames, a phoenix consuming its wings in flight

I watched as the city burned in flames, a phoenix consuming its wings in flight,
the streets transforming into rivers of fire, spirits freed from the cage of time,
politicians arrive like sorcerers, claiming they can tame the wind with words,
proclaiming promises that dissipate, leaves of a season of forgetfulness,
their echo is a dried-up spring of hopes,

I WATCHED

I watched you grasp for air
You fought and fought hard
I felt helpless
I wanted to help but didn’t know how
Your hospital monitors were going crazy
I wanted to cry but couldn’t
It was like voices in my head saying shouldn’t
Witnessed your agony and pain
Tears wanted to fall
I held back
Your eyes and body went into a seizure
I knew from

As I Sat And Watched

As I sat and watched the sun this morning, rise 
It made me realize 
There were children waving "Bye"
To the blue birds in the sky 
When I sat and watched the sun this morning, rise
 
The blue birds flapped their wings 
And the children on their swings 
It made me realize  
That children are

The watched are watching you

The watched pot never boils.
The watched clock slows.
The stalked knows,
to watch the suddenly still ones, 
that lie moored with anchor bestowed, 
just out of reach, wanting, staring, blinking,
in bated breath,
to sneak a furtive peak, 
deceptive.
The watcher's silence and stillness disclose
the watcher's deception in plain sight.
The little birdie you hope
will not notice you when you freeze
to

Watched Pot

If a watched pot never boils,
why am I looking at the steam from the pot?
Then I burned myself.

Watched It

Watched it, well not IT, not the balloon
with a clown attached to it.
Watched a true story better left alone
I’m all alone
I must dispense the dust cover of fear
My pillow is mauled
in toss and turn
My hand must not rest over the cliff
I wake up into full sunshine
as if
all the light that has ever been
hits me on

I Watched The Waves

I watched the waves
Just to feel
When nothing is real
Fantasy is a real escape
I feel the drain
Stress leaving my mind
And I feel
The wind on my cheeks
I smell
The salt of the ocean
I feel
The sand against my toes
I just
I just want to be free
I'm so tired
Of fighting
Of crying
Of trying
So here I am
All inhibitions cut loose
I just wish
The waves

I Watched Your Face

I watched your face as you read the words I had written.
Your face, delighted at the start, broke forth into a wide, revealing smile
That did not end at your lips.
You looked at me with recognition. 

You were there. We were friends.
However, our lives moved on, separately.

You wanted to know how things were for me without

When I Watched

When I watched
A stranger, whom I did not know
Or any man, do what he shared to show
Touch his woman, with desire and pleasure
Touch his woman, I would see
I enjoyed it as if it were me
Things changed when my woman
Decided to go, not by her choice you know
Now when I watch, what used to be pleasure
Now

He watched with Love

He watched with love; eyes filled with pride.
Down slowly walked the aisle his bride.
He whispered “Thanks” to God above.
Eyes filled with pride, he watched with love.

She walked to him with style and grace.
Tears freely poured on down his face.
His light for her would never dim.
With style and grace, she walked to him.

Held hand in hand

Feeling Watched

City life is blinding me,
Loud and clamoring it demands
Coaxes me out of my hands
Makes it so i cant see.

Theres too many trees,
All swaying with their own melodies
Some mirror my pleas
Others crack until i cease

To use their glass as mirrors
Used to view my own innards
Their furniture is arranged differently
Something i could never be.

Solitude is blinding me,
Its

I watched you as you tangled stars in the horizon of my life

I watched you as you tangled stars in the horizon of my life,
Stirring my imagination in your wake, a comet's tail gone adrift.
It was the overwhelming brilliance of your charm that envelops,
A sweet captivity, a game of pure magic, majestically imperative.
I stood, propped up by dreams, beholding you, an ephemeral wonder,
In a sleep dizzy from

feeling watched

I was walking along a pond
When I felt myself being watched
It was not a creepy feeling
But it was absolute.

This was the first time I had been in nature for awhile
Walking around a pond, feeling a soft gentle breeze
Aware of nature, a tree, a violet, a cattail,
Silence enveloped me, I felt cushioned.

So sure I was that

Tick Tock Watched Clock

Tick tock
The seconds sound
Minutes pass
Hands go round
Watched clock
Hours fly
Days disappear 
Nights go by
Tick tock
Weeks come and go,
The pendulum swings
To and fro
Watched clock
Sand falls
Months turn into years
Life calls
Tick tock
Time doesn’t stand still 
Watched clock
No time to kill.

As I Watched the Fiery Red Sun Slip Behind the Mountain

As I Watched The Fiery Red Sun Slip Behind The Mountain

As I watched the fiery red sun slip behind the mountain
I tossed a silver dollar in the wishing well fountain
My dear wish was for the hand of my very passionate lover
And life together that such bountiful happiness covers
She that tells me, "my darling, my sleepy
