Nevermore Poems - Poems about Nevermore

Sisyphus’ Silence I sit, a silent, carved-out zone, A soul entrapped, unlit, unwhole, The majority’s tide grinds flesh to bone, While others’ feelings wallow, roll In mud that clings, a river’s drone. Sisyphus slumps at mountain’s base, Scowls at the stone, then dares a smile, “Nevermore” hums through empty space, The gods, once loud, now mute, exiled....

Nevermore to return...the last performance was grand...one-hundred years in the making and now nothing can be found A painted face with a smile lost and left behind leaves a field of broken dreams Where one child lies A waning clock tics as the years pass by Now, but, a memory is all I can find Quietly Slowly I turn the page Of...

an eagle … snake clutched in talons flew across the sun and cast its shadow beachward like a dark arrow … loosened I watched it soar and disappear into the fingery brume of the high fells as a cold breath of autumn slapped my face, seeping bones … as a heartsick lad, I had strode these shores a thousand times and a thousand more in...

The Sunrise of a Nevermore David J Walker From here the sunsets closer than ever before The deep rays quicken long-off memories Removed to the distant shore The fabled days of youth are no more As I turn and realize The light in my eyes Was once the sunrise Of an opening door That I have traversed But never more ...

Upon the floor His stance was firm The Gothic Romantic Expounding his words. First here then there His dramatic display, Left everyone viewing His words for the play.
