#conquer poems on Hello Poetry

WJ Niemand Apr 2015

There are those who
despise tight spaces
who hate confinement
at least in their own basement

There's some truth
I concur
I need room
not some gloomy tomb

still there are some
who are confined
by the dust below
and the clouds above

they desire
the width of the equator
and claim
the height to the stars

but in the end
with all man as a subject
with majestic skyscrapers
and treasuries filled to the brim

their death creates borders
implodes skyscrapers
and loots the coffers

alas, as they started
in incubators
they remain claustrophobic
in coffins

the world is not enough
because we are not enough

The Fall

Have you ever fallen off a tree?
Oh, let me tell you a secret!
Age does not discriminate!
The fall can be so painful that even scars left behind
Will make you weep at night,
The deepest scars are full of regrets,
But the sweetest revenge is to rise once again!

Spoils of War

I will build a ladder with the bodies of my enemies. A mound in the trench, as I breach the wall. The paper cities will go up in flames. Leaving the power of their ashes floating in the wind

Truth and Lies

With lies to support you
Vain you are
In your pursuit
To conquer truth
And its pinnacle

Claim the Fire

Claim the fire in your life
Call out your freedom
Capture your light

Claim the fire of new being
Call out your vision
Capture new sight

Claim the fire of your breathing
Call out your voice
Capture believing

Claim the fire of creating
Call out imagination
Capture the meaning

Claim the fire of your life
Tomorrow morning
And Tonight

Claim the passion
Claim the sparks
Claim the blaze
Claim the glow
Claim the flames

Claim the fire of your soul

Conquer

I've decided
I'll conquer the world.
All that's stopping
me
is my lack of
words.
I guess
I'll find the
words
when I hold
them in my hands,
just like I plan
to hold the world.

-r.y.s

Maybe I'll find those words, when I hold you again.

A place once where we met

Miles apart
But cities away
Today?
A place where once we met
Some distance in time
Memories that never faded but lasted

Seemed to be?
Or meant to be a lifetime with you?
I couldn't tell!
Yet I think of you everyday
Reach out to you in every way
In ways that you might want
Not to bring you closer
But to show you love will conquer

Tears

I cried today for the first time in years
I cried today, and they were real tears
I cried not because I conquered my fears
Or because I lost all that was dear

I cried today, shedding tears like the rain
I cried today, letting go of all the pain
I cried so much, again and again
And these were tears I couldn't restrain

I cried today, cos' I finally understood me
Knowing fully well all that I could ever be
I lived in the shadows where no one could see
A prisoner to my thoughts wanting to be free

I cried today and these were tears of joy
I cried today, knowing I am a new born
A freed man, that was locked in the skin of a boy
A freed man whose life has just begun

I cried today and they were real tears
I cried today for the first time in many years

Conquest

The walls can be brought down,
Rivers can be crossed and oceans sailed,
Mountains hiked and conquered,
The skies, blazed through with vengeance,

But to have you understand me,
Understand my humour and my fears,
There's no bigger conquest done.
