Gold
Learn more about other poetry terms
Rich indulgences entertain rich feelings
I don't want to spend without sentimental meaning
But I require food, and clothes upon my body
So despite my beliefs, I buy all those things shoddy
there’s nothing like a summer evening
hair loose and feet bare
dumb grins and happy stares
the sun hits the air just so
and the world glows
Shall we continue searching for the end of the rainbow?
Or appreciate the majesty of the colored lines
The pot of gold might change your financial situation
But don't we learn more through difficult and arduous time?
You are beautiful just the way you are
You are awesome the way you were created
You are who you are
Be yourself
Be what you are meant to be
You don't need to follow the crowd
She laid down in her light pink bed
Her body of gold glowing a little less than usual.
She cried sparkly tears,
Blew her nose into pearly white tissues,
I had a smile to give you but I hesitated
I waited until you looked away and then all the sudden my smile snuck out of the back door of my mind and then there was nothing
I waited
Unmoved by tears
Untouched by reason
Without heart nor mind
But welcoming of the vilest
For they bring gifts of gold
Triumphant is Trump.
There once was a person who was old,
Who stole a leprechaun's pot of gold,
So the latter kicked him hard
And he flew across a yard,
And then there's a wind that's very cold.
If magic was poetry
He would be the pen that created the prose
With sparking gold eyes
And hair black as ravens wings
Standing against an alabaster colored sky
Gold drips from your fingertips
Performing the art of Kintsugi
Beginning between the crooks and crannies
That is beneath my superficial layers
Through her veins the venom ran
Sweet, quiet Mary Ann
All she wanted was to be powerful and strong
But sickening tones became of her swan song
Her eyes turned a golden, shining hue
As Heaven and Hell,
I have no wealth.
My soul is rich, dear,
Take my self.
In place of thrones,
I offer bones
Superior to
Precious stones.
Unlike
Gems and wreaths of gold,
I thought you wanted gold,
Not silver, steel, or bronze.
That's what I was told.
Oh, gold! That's worth a lot!
All or nothing, not half
For You, I was taught.
A golden glow falls down from sky,
And on my face and hands does lie,
It warms my skin, but also soul,
And heals my broken heart to whole.
I look into his eyes and
See a fantasy world.
Filled with unique colors...
Colors not yet identified.
Shy sparks of blue
Hide beneath his smile.
They light up the sky
Once upon a time,
in a land far, far away
oh! How the church bells did chime,
the day this child was born to his parents dismay.
lyrically
let her try to emasculate gold
dare him to evoke it
watch as they burn at the edges
becoming glass figurines—hollow to hold the sunlight
dance among the menagerie of light
How complicated we are;
never wanting to lose our luster,
just to be malleable in the most devious of ways.
How selfish we are;
not being able to burn to ashes,
B L I N D
I see the way he looks at her
He wants her
He would brighten her
The perfect two
Oh, joy!
Like they were matched
Meant to be
But,
She's too blind!
We are always told
We are worth our
Weight in gold. And
That's a sweet sentiment
But I don't think it's
Genuine, and it implies
That someone's worth is
Definable by societal objects.
I had power once
Power to take anything from this wretched world and make it beautiful
Gleaming like that liquid amber solidified
It was granted to me
Much like her heart could not be
Wrinkled edges and dog-eared pages,
Smudges from the swift stroke of a careless hand ―
Crispy remnants of a poem spaghetti-stained
I see her as she stares up at the skies
Beautiful, with crystal blue eyes
She looked like a sunrise
extravagant and full of promise
To know her is a gift
His kiss was of goldStaining her lips with the markOf innocence lost.
His fingertips leftGilded prints, painted on herLovely face with care.
Polished AdonisThough he was, the sun cannotShine on forever.
I have a gold heart
I do
I do
I Have a gold heart
I do
They chip it away
They do
They do
They chip it away
They do
But now I am saved
I am
I am
I remember when you walked into the room
Your eyes touched mine, then flicked away without a second glance
Honestly i didn't know anything could be so good
Then you spoke and my world crashed and scattered
Such gallant knight went down in flightsuccumbing to the shadow lured to his death by whisper's breathwhile seeking El Dorado. Came the shade within the glade
She once was a little flower
Not knowing how to speak
But when she did
Something beautiful happened
She became herself
And learned from all her failures
A single light in the darkness
That's what I seek to be
Whatever flaws I have without
There is a light preserved in me
While others see the grim and harsh
I still have faith in humanity
I am not made up of DNA
I am made up of gold.
I am not made up of anything besides the strength I possess and precious metals
Therefore nothing can break me down
Green sap oozing
from great gashes
in trees
into
paper, furniture, and houses
all for human needs
like the great stashes of black oil
oozing....
into
lakes, rivers, and streams
First the mud was dredged from the reeded river
by the potter’s boy
who slid his hands in the cool sludge and made his friends with the wet earth.
In the studio, the inert mass waited to be yanked off in chunks, to be shaped by adroit hands –
like...
From the distance you are at,
You see my muscle and my fat,
But if you look into my eyes,
You will find a great surprise!
Ask me of the books I read,
i had a chance
to share the joy
that i had always known
and so i stood
and raised them up
and brought forth tears from stone
it's such a shame
that they were shocked
I am made of goldSupple and ripe I am embodied venusLike the seas I sway and pull in those who dare to indulge I am unstoppableA queen A goddess
Nothing more nothing less
Held in place by the light, we die happily,
Wise in our time.
The solid light suspends us, upends our minds
The tree laughs
Children play below
On a hot summer day so slow
The tree is shade
And the tree likes offering aid
The tree smiles
A couple look deeply into each other's souls
The clouds have veins,
at the end of the day, when the sun kisses the edges,
and the purple spreads along the blue, dancing on the white
Heavy sunshine sets the leaves aflame
Until, by and by, it doth remain.
But then it cools and remains no more
Standing before you,
An endangered soul.
Mold with gold and once embodying the whole given.
And now
My Frail and lanky stature, stands before you
piercing every eye.
Depression is a widow's veil.
A black, looming object..light and wispy, blowing with every change of the wind.
It's flowery design serves to hide the pain and agony that lies beneath.
When I'm lonely like this
I am missing you dear
I thinnk of your face, but
you dont miss me, thats clear
You made this fool's gold
feel like diamonds
but now I'm a fool in the cold
It's time to focus Lehne.
Get in the racing mindset.
Ports one foot in, and down.
I sit and strap in as fast as I can
Port oars across.
Bow take a stroke.
Weigh enough.
Focus
You start from who you are;
Sweet, innocent, and caring. people ask and you say you're ok but no one knows how you're truly faring.
From a distance much to great,
He silently seals his fate.
With a rush of the tide,
He loses the feelings he tried to hide.
His head spins,
Black and Blue
Do you ever get a clue?
Black and red
do you know how much i bled?
black and green
You were always too keen
Black and yellow
Afterwords, you were always so mellow.
Words are unspoken,
Things are not said,
But everything she feels is stuck in her head.
The sighs of a hurting, broken heart
Her feelings inside tear her apart.
Words that whisper,
I Fight,
I Fight For The Light.
I Fight For Those Sitting Their Room,
Crying At Night, Holding That Knife,
And Wishing They Died.
I Fight For The Ones Who Lost Hope,
Broken bottles
lining the window seels
where pictures should be
where crosses should be
liquor soaking in the walls
yet not absorbing the blows
virbration from the seel decore
Illuminated minds
And related kinds
Elated to find gold
In the mind that's my mind
Unrefined, unaligned
With mainstream views
As I daydream of good news
Brighter days, righter ways
The day it rained diamonds crowds flooded the streets,
but riots broke out,
and all feel to their knees.
Then mixed with the shine,
came the dullness of blood.
You’re feeling insecure
Don’t know what for
You have everything
That others dream for
You are beautiful, strong, and pure
Fond memories, led astray
No glimpse of hope, such disarray
Scornful judgment brings out a beast, so tame
Blinded by its fear, naught bravery remain
Tearing at the wounds that reject
In the valley of the Shadow of Death,
There’s no place to hide, no place to rest.
The demons there, haunting your every step.
Choking you ‘till you have no breath.
The light at the end of the tunnel
When your pain is tangible
You can reach out and touch it.
It’s everywhere, consuming you.
You don’t even realize how lon_____g
it’s been eating away at your insides, until
they finally cave in and c
Nights of terror seem to pass
And days of sorrow fade.
In every moment that I laugh
I slowly crawl out of the shade.
Bits and pieces start to form
But some parts are still gone.
Hey you…
Yeah, you.
The girl with all the scars and stories to tell.
The boy who sits alone in the corner,
The child with a black eye from “falling down the stairs”,
I’m here for you,
Now and forever.
Mine eyes have seen the coming
the comming of many things,
But as things pass by my eyes
they become many goings.
My feet know many back allies
that have kept me off my trail.
She yells when she wantsRather, when seen fit.She treads on the flame that has just been lit.
She soothes in time,Never loosing her tune.The tides retreat, but seldom the moon.
The home of a traveler
Is not really a home,
But more of a way of life.
The home can be furnished nicely
With a chipper mood and a broad smile.
The furniture is all in place
There's a place that you can go,
a state of mind.
Where you scrape the ultimate supreme,
marking ink in the lobes of you brain.
Spun by emotion and directed by Hope,
lemon sweet magnolia sticky melting in the trees.
wild abandon in a dark forest, sunlight slots on a soft, mossy floor.
kisses without care. wet raindrops on soft skin, cooling hot blood.
Little leaf clinging to a tree
So often teased
By a cool breeze
Fearing a freeze he'd never see.
Left all alone, and still so green.
Sometimes words whisper and sometimes they scream
Some people grow in castles that gleam
Some of us start much smaller than most
Some of us learn that words leave a ghost
The strive you have to have to do your dreams ,
While the dollar bill appears and disappears in your wallet,
The scheme, yeah they get you ,
Raise you up then they forget you or have you forgot yourself?
The supernova is reaching it's arms out into the cosmos
I am lucky to be the arrangement of it's chaos
I wonder why I am here
Why are we all so self unaware?
We all share the same air
The supernova is reaching it's arms out into the cosmos
I am lucky to be the arrangement of it's chaos
I wonder why I am here
Why are we all so self unaware?
We all share the same air
Keep going, keep pushing; but in what direction?
Everyone out here is trying to teach a lesson
You can't teach those who have already been taught what you're trying to teach

Gold
How long can I wear this beautiful gold,
Scanning the ground since out of the nest,
Exerting energy to nothing left,
Eagle in the clouds swooping to engage,
Capitilizing on opportunity on all preys,
The mind is set fourth to be in success,
A golden picture in a silver frame,
Colors blend and become the same.
Memories mean more in the moment,
Then later in time.
A brush of color through silvered night air,
Paints a dragon’s false shape, starlit shining
Majesty with which no one can compare.
Aurous beast, streak through the wind like lightning
To look into your eyes is to see fire
Set ablaze by the creator Himself.
The way you gaze only takes me higher.
I wish to keep you and those eyes myself.
I look and fall into a pool of blue,
It took some time
we looked around
Thy treacherous gold
spread around
engulfed in soul
with such grace
fluid
and clear
we rode past
caught in the moment
treacherous fears
I Don't Know what you've been told...
The TRUTH is that I'm Full of Gold
and God has blessed my heart to be
full of kindness... just look and see.
I'm blessed beyond what you can see
Please excuse yourself from the table
Your sanity is rudeness to the world
War makes men crazy &
Decisions make women insane
Tattoo my names on your chest
If you're not too punk to do it
