Best Relentlessness Poems


My Departed Friends
Oh! Those whom I loved and cared that left this world
  Enjoying the bliss of heaven when my heart wreaths in pain
  Free from anguish and agony and attitudes apathetic and cold
Away from burning sunlight of hatred, ruthlessness and strain

My loving parents and...

B is for the brain freeze you get before the dawn.

C is cardiopathy so you can keep the beat.
D is for dampness when your trying to beat the heat.

E is for the exema you try to...

The Rain Effect
The rain outside my door
Its talk, a calming effect
Upon my restless spirit, implores 
the need to reflect.

The rain, drenching the moors
Its pounding upon rocky crests
Like the clapping of hands, soars
Upon the senses, dissolving stress.

The rain inviting me outdoors
Its plead to leave the comfort of concepts
Exchanging...

Taurus - April 21 - May 21
No bull in the proverbial china shop
but of the astrological skies 
you’d ride bareback upon the animal
assured by its strength and muscular form 
Ruled by Venus and of the second house
A feminine introvert or negative sign

A lover of all things nature and natural
Earth, loyal and...

"endurance"
A solitary tree upon an isolated hill.
The willow sways it's rhythmic dance in expectation of an August gale.With leaves abound 
awaiting to camouflage the ground to a carpet of golden canvas.A winters prelude.
As presuemed,out of somewhere the tempest shows forth with winds that bend her...

Salveja
I
I live in a society,
That does not know me.
I live in a community,
That does not owe me.
I feel a stranger,
In my renowned hometown.
And act a savage,
In my parent's town.
Who knows me???
Than my very self?
Who feeds me??
Than my blood nest?
When they lift core up,
I ignorantly pull...

The Ghosts Behind the Graves On Omaha Beach
They were young then, now they would be old men looking across an empty beach, the sun at their back; for many this would be their last day to grow old; dead in the water; dying on the sand of Omaha Beach.

Memories.

Three long hours smashing...

Lonely
I watch the passage of the sands of time
As the gold and red combine on fire in the falling sunset
Yesterday I was content
Alas my dreams now scatter unto dust
I cling in desperation try to keep hold of the burnt out ashes 
When the time comes
As...

Eyes-Too-Much
A pair of mystical bronzed eyes, 

Glimpsed into my charmed heart. 

The rains poured down in relentlessness; 

Coupled with the winter frost, 

it ran a chill through my veins. 


A mellow candle flame, 

Burned in the distance. 

In resemblance to the diffused blaze, 

Ignited within...

The Devil's Waltz
Her graceful poise is soon halted and then obliged to turn aside.
The sacred demeanor of her innocence was the only thing to scare the pride.
Timing is the enemy they've been given from the relentlessness of it's power.
If you check the Devil's watch evil has been...

Time
Time drips on my vacant eyes like candle wax covering my fleeting humanity...
I ignore the loneliness and drudge on, cracking the thin plywood of my existence; hovering like a misplaced ghost, toasting with a raised, rusty cup to all my screaming inadequacies... I slip into...

Can You Hold Onto a Peach
In the winter of my years, stands my barren tree
Its leaves stripped by autumnal winds
Against hope, it had one life left to give
I blew a warm breath into a lone branch
Hoping against hope, I stood transfixed

As spring approached, I beheld a bud 
I cupped it...

Endurance
The willow sways
A rhythmic dance
in expectation
of the August gale

Tenacious roots
Entwine earth and stone
Bounden firm
Anchored    undaunted

Wind swept rains bite!

Against the force
Of relentlessness
She strains
To hold ground

..upon clearing
,,nakedness

Stripped of her jewels-
Her leaves
Her blossoms..
..her beauty

Blue skies dawn.
Unknown to her weariness,
Birds pause
Upon familiar perches

With no colors to...

Celebrating 50:Xxi
It was two ways to go
And two ways we went
The tears they wrung from us
Until gape the cracked faith wide
The blood we surrenderd to the dust
War is a battle between opposing sides
A contention of beliefs
A fight for wrong subjugated to right
The root of evil is...
