Slipped Poems - Poems about Slipped

When she slipped behind the curtain, I knew that she knew for certain, but that she couldn't come back to tell ~ whether she’d gotten a ticket to where she hoped she was going, or a ticket to where she knew she could be going ~ just as well. ...

Now that life has slipped away like a dream through the clock of deep silence, I’ve admitted myself into my verses as into a sanctuary of illusions and shadows, the nurses are night birds that do not see me, they carry me to the bed of mist, I am split again into father and mother, though within me...

I absorbed the image, beyond capture—it slipped into my soul like a summer rain, Saturated, it became an eternal murmur, my eyes see only a zoetrope of time, All voices sing the same refrain: "what a wonderful day," as hope unravels its rhyme. I'm sorry to be negative—I didn't choose this role in life's play, I'll hide the burden,...

The path of time has slipped through the endless clock, The trail of life has stretched and in the void, it lingers long, Silence wraps itself in the shadow that was time's measure, Soon, the divine edge will pass, and eternity unravels.

I always slipped your mind By Michelle Morris 17/11/2023 I would walk 10,000 miles I would swim the ocean depths I would climb the highest mountain I would crawl and plead and beg But, what would any of these things do? Would any of it ever mean anything to you? 'Cos I was there every single time And somehow I always slipped your mind Whenever...

And time slipped by Not giving a warning. When I look back at those photos, At those memories and moments; And they slipped by Not giving a warning. I could have clicked those photos or I could have been in those Memories and moments. I can’t remember if we held hands or talked for hours, If we spent hours staring at the roof rumbling about...

I watched love cross a bridge, never to return; yet lamented its loss the moment it did. Fate set that bridge on fire, and I let it burn as I cried inside, though those tears quickly hid. What was meant to last forever slipped away and left me haunting memories of that day. I learned happiness is fickle and fleeting; when the...

She slipped Inside my pillow and began to massage my temples, I was a tad hungover, so a female ghost from the distant past was most welcome. Her fingertips felt as soft and as attentive as ever, but when the sun came up and the cold light shattered my eyes, I forced myself to get out of bed just to get away...

I see the dying rays of a setting sun Knowing they are reflections in your eyes I see you put joy and happiness on the run With your slowly-released tempered sighs. I see your struggle to speak words aloud For spoken words, time has slipped away. I see your trembling hands reaching out Grasping your last ounce of courage left. I see your...

I took a step My feet got wet Just a drop of spit on my lip I wink my eye As then I’d cried Because I’d slipped and fell on a rusty nail 6/27/21 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©...

I'll always remember that humid July day when you, my best friend, almost slipped away. The shock of finding you so cold and stiff. It took four paramedics your body to lift. When I saw you on that stretcher being rushed away, all I could do was to sob and pray. I knew that you...

Too soon the table turned, This comfort is swept away. and the blessings withered, I smart under the gall, my cloak is torn from me, harassed by owners of this earth, I am plunged into dirt just for a pry, and now I quip under the lash, snapped in the stock, my limb are cut away, lured through...
