Woe Poems - Poems about Woe

The present, my woe
I try no, I’m sure I do. Or maybe… With the whole weight of my being, I try to enjoy the present. I stretch each minute wide enough to step inside, to sit a while not merely pass through. This existence with intention, this awareness I otherwise tuck away, as if noticing the fine grains of now could slow...

A marionette of the void Aware of the needle like strings, Stranding on the edge of light Yet covered by the veil of hollowness A woeful homunculus, gazing at the abyss...

I am a loquacious, a storyteller of whimsy and woe this poem is a jargogle of jumbling words as I enter the forest to a cacophony of harsh sounds oh, I often tend to be a gloomy crapehanger and sometimes a fantasizer unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality escaping into the intricate world of poetry it is a metamorphosis...

Premium Member Woe To Hypocrites
They taught about the almighty. Did they love him ever? Did they enter heaven, or allow others to enter? Like surfaces of silent lakes, they looked calm and serene. Underneath flew currents of whirlpools, tearing the marine The poor were deserted like twigs of trees, they deserted. Their hard earned wealth, into their own interests, they diverted The oaths on the...

Premium Member In the Lowest of Your Moments
In the lowest of your moments, When bitter trials are fought, Platitudes blare like loud trumpets, Most are sincere but ill-taught It’s not folks pity that you plead, Empathy they may not sense, It’s presence that you truly need, In your time of deepest grievance. In the lowest of your moments, Cliches can blare like brass, And cause angst and...

Premium Member Widow's Woe Is Heard
In days bygone, a widow was looked at as a tried leaf. There was no aid, even from a twig. She just fell and fled. As a branch that's cut off and ostracized, she's full of grief. Jesus knew this. It's hence that, in him, concern for her grew. It's not water. It's her inner ache that thawed into...

Premium Member Woe To You
You live in sapphire-decked castles. You wear soft muslin clothes. The snugness of mundane wealth, like the termite, eats you up. Though you care less for God, in his name, you dare to take oaths. With your vanilla wines, the pains of the poor fill your cup. You're already comforted, Jesus said; what more do you need? Why do you...

On the run
*On The Run* Hunted by my past, trailed by my shadow, Intoxicated by elixir of youth, I climb the ìrókò beyond the leaves. Wail of woes, dehydrated dreams Crushed in the battlefield of the deep; Love lost, hoarse voice, greying hairs. The wind slaps me cold, Drunk with evil pleasure, Sweet sorrow envelopes me; Then it dawns on me, I’d frittered the forest and harried...
