#consequence poems on Hello Poetry

Van Xuan Mar 2019

Heaviness of eyes
Unreadable sentences
Fighting drowsiness

Cold afternoon breeze
Drags wandering minds to sleep
So hard to resist

Yet the best part is...
The sound of a lullaby
Of prof's discussion

Oh how wonderful
To rest peacefully like I'm...
Sleeping on God's wings

Unfortunately...
When the prof caught us sleeping
Hell will seethe our soul

Consequence

Think
Empathize sympathize
Visualize
Illuminate
Imagine

Takes no time at all

With great power comes even greater
Consequence.
Think
Again
No Masterplan
A gift given by hand
At first sight

Takes no time at all
See
How I love you
Beyond

Consequence.

Something Stupid

I want to do something
So incredibly stupid
Just to see
What happens
To see
What it feels like

But the consequences
Of my stupidity
Are such that
I could never dare
To face
To give in

But how wonderful
It would feel
If I could just
Let myself
Do something
Something stupid

When Wings Mean More Than The Sting

Within every motion is a consequence,
     for with wings there is motion.
Disturbing the flow of the world around it.

For with a sting there is but one consequence,
              a flutter of tasteful demise for oneself.
The pain on the other is fleeting,
                   for life was about on point.

But when a thousand wings flutter,
                       they move more than mountains.
for a breath when made by the many can influence
                        more than just a point made in anger.

In light of Consequence

A stab for a word.
A shot in the dark.
We die for a look
trying to justify who we are.

With this incantation
this formula;
Action.
Reaction.

Let me choose my faction
Contradict this faith
Cause no one's contributing
To my collection plate

Imbued by escapades,
that gifted
my man,
his hood.

Protecting my pride
Portraying my promises
Pure or profane
For pleasures and pains

Pushed by pixels.
Saline soaked tissues.
Rent, rats, respect, rules
Tend to tempt the next move.

Excuse the grime on my shoes,
the grim in my eyes
cause I can’t tell the consequence
of showcasing a kinder side

Off Switch

If there was an off switch to life
Some people wouldn't hesitate to press it

When people tie a noose
We have time to think about the consequences

We all want to die sometimes. The idea is if we could switch our bodies off forever, in certain situations we might do it. If we use rope or go to a bridge, use a blade, etc, we have to think about what will happen to people around us as a consequence. We also fear the failure, whereas a switch would be instant and 100% successful. Contemplation is everything.

consequence of desire

the sea of blood
you left behind
sticks to my memory
and stains the view
I had of you

Today.

A tomorrow for every today.
The present won't go away.
Memories fade in shades of grey,
But the future has a price to pay.

Consequence

I’ve come so far

Did it leave a mark?
How big is the scar?
Somehow I misunderstood and the fragility was mine

Space and time immortal in the moment
But the moment after that...
is the one which won't relent

An unfortunate revelation
