'faliure' poems - Hello Poetry

Timothy Brown Jul 2013

I woke up in a wall-ball court
underneath the Arizona sun.
I was homeless and broke,
hundreds of miles away from where I begun.
No food to eat. No water to drink
which is a death sentence in that kind of heat.
Just ***** clothes, an empty wallet
and my heartbeat.

It was a quest of love that brought me here.
A short, hispanic woman with red hair.
She was the person I meant when I said "dear"
Honestly, I would have done anything for her on a dare.
Even though being with her made me want to disappear,
when I was without her I was living in despair.

I got off the sweaty concrete
and marched back to the house of cards
we called a home.
I found the apartment
absent of her presence
so to the streets I roamed.
Nothing in my body
but heat cramps and passion
I searched over and under
the whole **** desert I must have combed.

I found her in the same spot we separated from
smoking a cigarette, I think it was a #27.
Laughing and reading but emotionally numb
to my exhaustion. I just turned and walked away ashamed of the man I had become.

Homework On Desks Of Faliure

I sat on decaying desks of reflection.
       My homework, write a moment
                                of life that meant the most.

But this is a theory of retrospective
       collections, tattered and loosely fitting.
Writing in faded inks of yesterday.

Everything I'd wrote was a failure,
                    never amassing a page of meaning.
I knew I wasn't a graduate of life.

Mostly a D minus in the accomplishments of what
I could have wrote. But instead I just
                   dodged classes and ended up a failure.

Here are the Stars!

Folorunsho Obalugemo Jul 2013

Here are the Stars!

Filled with the fullness of measure
Of Christ, the wholeness of his stature
In grace, endowment and wisdom--
No faliure alibi hast thou to tender
Why you can't glitter in thy kingdom
Calling in life, be it as a preacher,

Sportsman, teacher, trader or musician,
Save you are super fool--a politician
That fritters away the flourishing treasure
Of his country: promising always an elephant
With vain bogus budgets and speech lofty;
But for maze, could only deliver folks an ant.

But here are the effulgent stars: Lo,
Behold *baba Adeboye! see *bishop Oyedepo!
Thy own gift can shine for the entire earth
Also to see, without comparing thine glory
With another's, focusing on the blessed berth
Of heaven, when your labour and life cease.

Saving Faliure

Saving Faliure

Failed to save us,
Failed to save you twice,
Failed to see you needed me,
Now I need you.

Failed to save him,
Failed to understand him,
Failed to keep him alive,
Now I miss him.

I seem to fail more than win,
I let things happen and now I see,
Feeling guilty for so much,
Failed to save a life.

Dont quit

Dont quit

when things go wrong as they sometimes will when the road your trudging seems all up hill. When funds are low and the debts are high you want to smile but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down abit rest if you must but dont you quit.

Life is qwere with its twists and turns as everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a faliure has turned about, when they might have won had they stuck it out. Dont give up though the pay seems slow you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer thanit seems to have fainted the faulterirng man.
Often the strugler has given up when he might of captured the victors cup and he learned to late when the night slipped down how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out the silver tint of the clouds of doubt and you never can tell how close you are you may be near when it seems so far so stick to the fight when your heart is thick.
Its when things seem worse when you musnt give up.

The power in faliure

The power in faliure

So life takes it turns
But it always comes back full circle
Being positive threw the bad times is power
Power to control
Power to prosper
Failure is a decision
The minds of many have the ability
To open eyes and open minds
Life's simple why make it hard
Determination
Empathy
And a positive mindset
Life's simple
Confidence
Morals
Goals
That's it
Invert the energy
Focus on yourself
Get a goal
Be empathic give advice
It will help you more than you think
Karma is real make sure yours is good
Things come full circle
The fool rushes in
The wise are methodical
Think be4 you move
Think be4 you act
Think be4 you loose
Failure will come regardless
Don't get discouraged
The best people fail
The best people failed more than most
Failure will ***** smack you into a reality
You once thought didn't exist
Failure is beautiful it's the
The best teacher
The biggest discouraging act
Learn
Fail repeat
You'll never fail the same way twice
There is power in failure
