Choices Poems - Poems about Choices

The storm descends, a howling, bitter plea, And darkness wraps a world that once was free. I stumble, lost, upon this treacherous ground, And hear a voice where solace can be found. Not from above, where choirs used to ring, But from below, a darkly tempting thing. The Devil speaks, a promise in his tone, Instant relief, a burden overthrown. A heartbeat's pause,...

Hear the flames crackle Fall on your sword Live like a Jackal Die like a dog The lion is weary Hyenas dart and bite Their laughing is eerie He'll lose his last fight. The vultures are circling Eyes that see far Their shadow is on you Wherever you are. Betrayal was easy You were attracted to strife You gambled with demons...

Like a whirlwind on a wild, untamed ride/ Life threw you twists, and poor choices arrived/ But hatred? No, it finds no home in me/ For love stands stronger, vast as the sea/ Your divine light, though it flickers dim/ Still shines in the shadows, steadfast within/ Family don't abandon, no matter the trial/ Through storms and sorrow, we'll walk each mile/ We...

MAZE Record 2025/02/20 10:49:07.webm My maze, a startling delusion, confounding explanation. Somewhere a goal, a dream, a meaning motivates me through, a dynamic labyrinth of my own making. Every choice opens another passage, creates a new array of choices. A long and convoluted passage, distracted by lies and torturous anger. Pride leads me away, a rat to his cheese....

Two birds left the nest after they had learned to fly, setting off to find what the world has got to give. Each had what it takes to ascend into the sky, but each bird also had different reasons why they lived. One lived a life to soar above, his days spent in the air....

In a forest dim with paths untold, "The Road Not Taken" did unfold. Robert Frost, with gentle prose, Asked which path a traveler chose. William Henley's "Invictus" pride, In darkness, strength will never hide. "Unconquerable," his soul's refrain, Through trials, resilience does sustain. Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata" gleams, With timeless wisdom, guiding dreams. In silence, peace we often find, In storms, seek calm within the mind. José Rizal's...

She stood beside him, vows once true, a promise bright, then burned right through. She wore his ring, she spoke his name, but love to her was just a game. I saw the distance in her eyes, a quiet hunger wrapped in lies. Smiles that never reached her face, a heart already out of place. She wanted more—what, I don’t know, something reckless, something...
