Only Hope And Faith Can, Such Foe Defeat

Years have flown by- heart and soul feels effect
tears I now cry, come not from Love's neglect
For Dawn yet gives its soft rays that so shine
this world my oyster, shining pearl is mine!

Alas! Such joy has not always...

Why Hides the Sun His Face As In Defeat
LXXVIII 
Why hides the sun his face as in defeat?
The day is done and this ninth hour had come
As sorrows flood with tears that grace his feet
That faints the eye of such a tempest calm

Then stillness breaks the hanging Victor shouts
Man’s worst is done yet...

Premium Member A Song of Defeat
I hammered some words
Out from the quarry of my brain
They fell around in shards;
Some like boulders, 
Some like rocks and rubble 
I picked them up one by one.
Block on block, I piled them up
Thinking I could build a ‘pleasure dome’

But,

When it was time for the...

Twisted Defeat
Soundless words gather in the mist of your ever-changing stature
Contorting banter smothers the landscape of your toil
Your soul is defined through pillage of thought and pleasure
Whispers and taunts explode without truth
Circling the antics of foolish affairs
Your respect stains below wicked feet
Gnawing the attentive to reap...

Premium Member Not Just Defeat, It Was An Annihilation
Tonight, there is no joy in the Broncos nation.
That was not just defeat, it was an annihilation.
Many of us were witnesses to the devastation.
It made Denver television viewers change the station.

Numerous Broncos fans must be wearing a frown.
In four quarters, they scored one measly touchdown.
It...

Troy, The Defeat, Odysseus Punishment

Apollo, the archer-god, was quite unfair
Slew Eurytus for a vain archery boast
Mortal lives he had so very little care
Sending Greek ships sailing to the coast

Helen of Sparta, beauty beyond compare
face that launched a thousand ships
She of perfect face , body and...

If I Suffer Defeat
If in my journey to achieve my goals 
I crumble or stumble an lose my soul,
My close acquaintances will know I gave 
it my all 
and know this was only a pitfall,
Without No father-No money- No choice-No guide 
I only act towards my voice inside
If...

Our Invincible Defeat
The inner and the outer,
Are dissolving fast in space.
The ominous clouds of thunder,
Are covering your face.

The meek the mild and innocent,
Are trampled under feet,
As we go one marching blindly,
To our invincible defeat.

No more calling softly,
No more calling you,
We've lost our hope and loving,
What once we...

Premium Member Sleepless, With Defeat
Sleepless, with defeat...
when night is black and what is left
is time turning  back on promises
The sugar coated world askew
What happened to the world I knew?
My head in sand?  Was it a joke?
Have I only seen the best of times,
and what is left declines...

Ode To the Failure of Modern Philosophy To Defeat Skepticism
Poor ol’ Pyrrho, he’s the hero
Of my somber poetry:
Couldn’t figure how to pick your
Core beliefs with certainty.

Bold Descartes, he got the party
Started with his Cogito.
Up popped Pyrrho (what a zero!),
Said to think is not to know.

Next, John Locke, he tried his luck; he
Claimed true knowledge...

Defeat
Defeat

Blood starts drippin’ from the soldier’s wound
Seeps like sewage ‘neath the politician’s room

Deep in the house, white fades to red
And the freedom we’re fighting for seems to be dead
‘Cause we can’t win like he once said
No we can’t triumph over the hate in our enemy’s...

An Equal Share of Victory and Defeat-Rhyming Chant
An equal share of victory and defeat...
greeting happiness, summoning sadness!
An equal share of victory and defeat...
rejoicing in light, trembling in darkness!


How we live and age depends on circumstance and time...
an equal share of victory and defeat!
Youth is pure glory when the body is not weak......

The reason is love.
