Most Commented Lyric Poems (681)

A year ago all was well
now it feels just like hell
if we sneeze were asked to leave
wear a mask or don't come back
media spreads the fear so fast
we take hope it wont last
young or old, rich or poor
covid knocks at your door
Jesus says trust in Him
If we do things arent so glim
ten thousand years and we'll look back
we won't remember it so black
say your prayers and Golden rule
keep the kids home from school
Don't lose hope,trust in God
this too shall pass,either side the sod.

Talk to me
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me
Why did you leave?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Jus nursin my tea
thoughts of you in my head
Sittin crossed legged
Indian style, on my bed

Layin back on the pillow
wish it was your chest
Yeah, that "S" is for Super
We know what you do best

You were the peace
that silenced my tears
You were the beast
which chased off my fears

Two years now, yer gone
with nuthin to say
How you jus dip
and leave me this way?

I thought we were friends
Shit, I kept you close
You are the one
I dreamed of the most

What the f*ck, man?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Talk to me, bruh
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me, Boo
Why did you leave?

I don't understand
What the hell is this crap
You vanish & leave, like:
"Peace b*tch, it's a wrap"

Like, I can't even fathom
What got into you
When I told you my past
The shit I been through

I trusted you, bruh
My heart open, exposed
Like a surgeon, you left
The wound sat unclosed

I can't innerstand
How you jus walk away
What are you thinkin?
Have you nothing to say?

Talk to me, love
chu got up yer sleeve?
Say somethin, Boo
Why did you leave?

Talk to me, please
You know that I'm home
Say something, just....

Don't leave me alone

Waiting for the sunshine,
Someday it came but didn't shine,
Is it just you?,
Are you losing your mind?, -
You carelessly wonder,
In an abyss being the last climb,
What matters now?,
Make it the last time?, --

A townhouse in town,
The middle of the city of dead,
Life moves on,
As if you are not there, -
You go outside,
They cower,
They hide and they're scared, -
Perhaps they should be?, --

Fearless,
Maybe the scars you bear?,
Fearless,
Maybe the long hair?, --

You go out to eat,
They serve you right away,
Although others were there before you,
They still have to wait, -
You're a kind hearted man,
But not everyday,
Suppose they may know that?,
From the games that you play?, --

Waiting for the moon,
Someday it came but hid behind the clouds,
Is it just you?,
Are you feeling that down?, -
You ignore weather, pain, food,
Closest to the best they would call,
The best way to feel,
Is to feel nothing at all, --

Fearless,
Maybe your dream was born?
Fearless,
Maybe now all is gone?

Beneath a pearl umbrella
shelter to attain
the meanest, greenest, dancing glass
the Burmese summer rain

Three days to get there
Bangor, Maine is where
Saw Acadia National Park
Ate some lobster on a lark
Saw Steven King's home and it was eerie
Found it thanks to my best buddy Siri
She told me how to get there and back
My only complaint is the music I had to lack
While I waited for her to tell me where to turn
Spending too much time on my phone I could have been burned
It's dangerous to play with these phones going down the road
You could get squashed like a toad
I saw Niagara Falls on the way back
The good view from Canada was all I lacked
Then it was to Sandusky, Ohio to walk on the beach by Lake Erie
The next day I was on the beach by Lake Michigan, you should have seen me!
Since Monday it's been daily trips to Madison to Chuck E Cheese
Played at a video game place for 15 bucks with ease
Then to Dubuque to eat some cold guacamole with Doritos
Play some video games, my favorite Pacman was broke, that's the way it goes
I went to a record store in Janesville
Got my latest Adam Sandler CD, what a thrill
Ate some Panda Express
The sauce got on my pants, what a mess!
So today it's off to Davenport for Ruby's, Goodwill and the mall
Lots of dollars paid for it all

I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Breakout!
When explanations make no sense
When every answers wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to get infected
Go to a barbeque, don't hestitate
Breakout!
Don't stop to ask
Go ahead and take off your mask
You've got to find a way
Get infected today
Breakout!!
Some people stop at nothing
To be sure that you have nothing
They close down the restaurants, close down the stores, wipe out the jobs
Breakout!

November tears fall asleep
to their music,
the noise of fallen leaves,
fast twilight that steals
a ray of sunshine
dry grass
on the hills of Poloniny.
November tears flow
in lonely times
as if they wanted
to clean the world
wash away
autumn dreams from the streets,
dance the last time with the wind
and go away into oblivion.

It pains me to know our hands are now only a memory for my soul

God’s Wisdom is like nothing else that man has ever known and certainly His Brilliance, for us has set the tone.
Great is my angst and wonderment when after prayer
I wait, to see what my dear God decides should truly be my fate.

My God knows how to make a joke, and enjoys every bit
Of humour that He gets when He makes use of His great wit.
I asked for patience and I hoped that all would soon be well,
But lo! The challenges God sent made me feel I’d gone to hell.

Should I not know the tests He gives are how He answers prayer,
Yet how could I learn patience well, if not by trial and error?
I asked the Lord to bless me with more work to earn more pay.
For I had many things to buy, and to pay for everyday;
And once again He sent my way a chore to undertake –
The bounty that He blessed me with was not for my own sake.
For He wanted me to know that when He blesses me with same
It’s for me to share with others, and to glorify His name.

So when you pray and ask the Lord be careful what it’s for;
Don’t think He hasn’t heard your call, if troubles you endure.
And you wonder what He’s doing, when you’re faced with more distress -
Just be careful what you ask for, ‘cause there just might be a test.
