Most Commented Lyric Poems (681)

When did you leave
Twilight fell quickly
and the flowers have lost their color.
When did you leave
time stopped in place
not giving a chance for tomorrow.
When did you leave
I began to die slowly
stepping pain
to feel that I still exist.

The body trembles in anticipation
on touch.
I close my eyes and wait
until your hand
circle incomprehensible
characters
paving the way
oncoming
performance.

Smoky grayness hanging low,
Breezes now began to blow.
Quiet coolness filled the air,
Lightning, flashing here and there.

Rumbling skies began to roll,
Startling, frightening to the soul.
Turning now a forceful way,
Wind then caused the trees to sway.

Then in torrents came the rain,
Causing too a harsh refrain.
Rain then stopped, the wind did too,
Brillant sunlight now breaks through.

The desperate trees have no place to go
But true to their nature, their feelings don't show
The cows are now grazing, which suits me just fine
But too many people have no place to dine
Diverting the water was also a coup
What salty solution did they leave for you
This menu we've chosen
To kill and be killed
Who pays for the damage
Our children are billed.

The reason I never can quit the road
Is a reason that's plain and clear.
It's because no matter where I may stop
And whether it's far or near

There's a place beyond the place I am,
Wherever I may be at,
And then beyond is a place beyond
And the world beyond all that!

And as long as a man has eyes to see
And a brain that wants to know,
I figure there's things he's bound to miss
If he doesn't go on and go;

For there's always a place beyond the place
I happen to hang my hat,
And another place beyond that place
And the world beyond all that!

There's some folks stay in a single spot
Or a town of which they're fond,
And never worry a little bit
At the thought of a place beyond;

But the place beyond the place beyond
Won't never let me rest
For there's a sort of a kind of urge
That's burning within my breast--

To go and go till the end of life,
And when I've left it flat,
Go on beyond the place beyond;
And the universe after that!

A thunderous silence
breaks through my thoughts.
What was once many great ideas
is now a triumph, lost.

Baffling words tumble through my mind.
Reflections of darkness hover.
A disturbing peacefulness beckons to me,
and inside myself, I take cover.

What would it be like to stay there forever?
To be lost in all my cares?
From the inside, looking out -
I cry silent tears.

Lonely nights will come

but they surely go, we take it in turns

now i guess its time for me to walk this lonely road

They say that all that glitters surely aint gold

goose bumps when shiver caused by a hearts thats frozen cold

you tried to hyptonize me with you caramel mould

but lately am suprised we have been on parallel poles

but am way past a heart break,only a lil' heart aching

so i am searching for the geniune artcile

no time for waisting....

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you begun
When the day is done.

When the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold.

When the bird has flown
Got no-one to call your own
Got no place to call your home
When the bird has flown.

When the game's been fought
Newspapers blow across the court
Lost matches sooner than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought.

When the part is through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the part is through.

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

The bar was empty
I was sweeping up the floor
That's when she walked in
I said, "I'm sorry but we're closed"
And she said "I know,
But I'm afraid I left my purse"
I said, "I put one back behind the bar
I bet it's probably yours"
And the next thing that I knew
There we were, lost in conversation
And before I handed her her purse
I said, "You'll only get this back on one condition"

And we danced
Out there on that empty hardwood floor
The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
The music played, we held each other close
And we danced

And from that moment
There was never any doubt
I had found the one
That I had always dreamed about
And then one evenin'
When she stopped by after work
I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt
And as her eyes filled up with tears
She said, "This is the last thing I expected"
And then she took me by the hand
And said, "I'll only marry you on one condition"

And we danced
Out there on that empty hardwood floor
The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
The music played, we held each other close
And we danced

Like no one else had ever danced before
I can't explain what happened on that floor
But the music played
We held each other close
And we danced
Yeah, we danced

i aint got no pulse
just impulse,
i'm just like your car
impound,
i'm lost and i'm found
a dog,
s---s on your lawn
just cause,

she laid down the law
i'm out,
like all of your stuff
repo'd,
i'm done when i want
goodwill,
with clothes for the poor
what else?

got a box for a house
my man
made sure it was doused
his hand
came down with a smack
than bam
his very own show
attacks
