Restlessness Poems - Poems about Restlessness


I Have Become Stale
My knees held tightly to my chest, I thought the storm clouds were miles off in the distance, Of someone else's distress. But morning came, and the storm remained. No water nor washing could wipe away the stains of sorrows And restlessness from my covers- My detrimental haven... I could rot away here, the irony being I already do. What treasures can...

Premium Member Under your cloak of stars, the restlessness is soothed
Under your cloak of stars, the restlessness is soothed, A wave of gentle enchantment caresses my quivering soul, Whenever your shadow flees from sight, I enwrap you in secrets, I lock in my canvas of thoughts your smile that reflects within me. You are the path that bends between playfulness and yearning, In your arms is the world, sown with...

Premium Member Calmness of the Mind and Soul
Where can we find the calmness of our minds and souls Our minds are always running wild Images of dreams overlap and overlap Until they are messy and entangled Dream may or may not come true If it comes true, it'll become a reality It yields satisfaction Followed by the calmness of the mind and soul If it doesn't come true,...

Restlessness
Restless. Gradual, Haphazard, Graced with the dexterity, With jabs to its sides in the still wind, With the dance of grey smoke from a pot of incense. It breezes in the descending direction unto a platter. A mass of saltwater–as it'd find out later. The roars of the tides, The whistles of the wind kissing the oceans surface, The spirited slaps of the waves, The...

Premium Member Insomnia
The moon is restless roaming in and out of clouds- Intermittent stars Motions above and below through eternal sleepless night Shunning saffron days night owls and fireflies revel to nightingale's song Wide awake blooms gaze at moon- The wind's everywhere at once...

Restlessness and Placidity
Restlessness in youth, placidity in the golden age... do these two conflict with the pace of motion that desolation can assuage? If being young means persisting in ambition, an event of gratification, venturing in fearless projects, taking risks and walking through Hell; is it worth the effort of being bold and press forward and bear the toll? Understand that it's an age to defy challenges without the...

Premium Member Restlessness In a Graveyard
The winter is sagging in strength And wary is becoming the graveyard Of its inhabitants, lying in their tombs, As they seem to stretch themselves Up from their wintery drowsiness To embrace the signs of life Defrosting leisurely from the fatigue In the vegetation around. Soon will the greenery pick up The trees will blossom And the flowers will dance To the songs of...

Restlessness Saw it yesterday, alone, sitting on a rock, not looking too happy. Motionless against its own reflection, glaring at itself. It threw a stone as if to chase away the aged creature looking back as if the ripples might ease the past. Saw it look ahead, slump wearily against the ancient oak, unsure, almost afraid, of its future. It stood slowly, regained its balance, moved methodically forward each step unsure for Time, though ever present, must keep moving as it grows...

Restlessness Allows No Inner Peace
His buddies called him Brant, he was the strongest man made of solid muscles and he seemed mighty; he became a fugitive after he raped two women and robbed to get money for his coke and whiskey. One was his best friend whom he killed for a grudge he had, and hiding his face, he pulled down his hat...

Restlessness
Under washing sound of drifting rains, Thunder lightning cracking at my sky, I sit in distress restless and why? This bold confusion and my mind wanes. Tightly softly closing slender eyes, Flashing stories that are not yours or mine, Perhaps a pill or even too much wine, Tossing turning disappointed sighs. Bleak and flashing stolen songs, These motions and or these fears creep, I'll never...

Restlessness
I've danced forever; temperance bound under this vestal spell, a captive in these conventions of virtue, in these endless circles of same guiding same, someone else's expectations deciding my every step. All the while I entertain the restless riots building within....

Restlessness
I sit here and try to digress To grapple on the hold of restlessness Feelings of tyrannical fearlessness Close your eyes and be helpless Oh I throw my hands up to be rid of this mess I roam and roam running from thoughts of sleeplessness Twists and turns to untangle the rest To conquer it all and be the best No thoughts aligned...

Restlessness
Haunting boredom creeps up on me My soul will not rest its weary head Manic thoughts plague my mind Brings me chaos Melancholy and joy fight for dominance No peace exists, the madness persists No stillness, no calmness Brings me panic Thoughts of betrayal haunt my mind Deep waves of anguish overwhelm me No happiness, no joy Brings me agony No point or reason No time or season Absence...
