Weep Poems

Premium MemberIn the eternal night, where stars weep tears of dimmed light

In the eternal night, where stars weep tears of dimmed light,
I lose myself in thoughts flowing like an underground river, unseen, aimless,
Reflecting the shadows of the eternal search, among spirals of time and dream,
In the silent dance of silence, which envelops the soul like a veil of abyss.
Under the boundless sky, where winds whisper forgotten

                   Dry fuel in the bush
                allows fast fires to burn

I weep for me

I loathe what I have become
Things I tacitly permissed
Weigh me down with water
Shameful of my tears

That I am thin of heart and humour
Quick to temper now
Hard and dark, where once 
Was soft and light

It is me whose hands are bloodied
I held the dagger and carved
Into myself for attention
Now I weep for me

FALLEN SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOIL

Weep Africa, weep on.
The battle with death is one we dare not to fight,
For the call from the great beyond is outside the scope of our existence.
Just as our known hero Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has fallen,
Like countless unknown heroes forgotten to time,
We shall all follow this path of no return one by one.

Fight Africa, fight

Premium MemberUnder the infinite sky, where stars weep their light like crystal tears

Under the infinite sky, where stars weep their light like crystal tears,
My thoughts weave into a silent dance, like a whisper of wind on leaves,
And I lean towards the heavy earth of unknown sufferings,
Where the tear of a hungry child weighs more than all the rains in the world.
Happy birthday, orphaned children, you who search

Premium MemberHear Me, and Be Still

Do not build a ladder  
when I fall into the abyss  
I did not call for climbing

The thorn in me  
is not a riddle to be solved, 
nor a window begging repair  
I am thunder — not your project; 
I am rain that needs witness, 
not your umbrella

When I say I’m

When Midnight Weeps

The alley shivers under broken light,
puddles cradle forgotten stars,
midnight forgets to weep.

Premium MemberWhy Weeping Willows Weep

Mankind in all his stupidity and greed is slowly destroying our beautiful earth, the warnings are there but he chooses to ignore them. 
Quote by poet. 


I sat down under the cool shade of some weeping willow trees,
a babbling brook flowed nearby and was so soothing to hear.
I felt totally relaxed then I fell asleep

Premium MemberNazarene


I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful." He further added: "No man can read the gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life...Theseus

If The Sky Could Weep

The sky shows no concern or grace,
For Friday's dawn or sister's place.
Oh, I wish the sky would weep for me,
Its tears would bring some sweet relief, you see.

Yet still, I know it's not to be,
For sorrow's breath must rise, then flee.
If heaven wept for every soul,
The rain would never stop its roll.
It's just a thought,

Premium MemberOn a night when stars weep their ancient light

On a night when stars weep their ancient light,
I lose myself in the whispers of paper, in the song of ink,
Like a river of memories winding through the hills of the heart,
And I wonder if writing heals something within me.
Traumas are a veil of mist dispersing at dawn,
Leaving only shadows dancing on white pages,
Transformed into

Premium MemberFolded Napkins

The napkins were cut and woven in her dad’s barn that he and his dad built from the broken oaks. 
Each clump of cotton piled up in front of her 
Leave and left
She thought
The warp was fixed on her loom
And that was easy because it stayed
But the weft was the lateral thread that moved
Leave and

Premium MemberEMPATH

Ebony eyes with somber smiles white weeps
Empath in denial in a peach poetic sleep
Unaware of blue truths planted so deep
Life is a silver school never stop learning

At the same time you are a teacher
Your lesson is living and it's a feature
No one but you can take the clay of your life
Fire it up and shape
