#motive poems on Hello Poetry

he wandered in to her light,
darkened by her broken desires.
since then he only preferred
darkness, pure unadulterated!
darkness coiling within light
denies it's truce inner motives
gives a bad twist to the light.

Motive

I wonder what your motive was
for killing me
for leaving me to just my thoughts
for being the hand that crushed my heart.

I died
and I have no idea what for.

this fear.

I cant
do anything
against
this
this fear.

Under everything
that appears ordinary
is the worry
is this fear.

What I want out of life
seems too hard to achieve
and even the thought of trying
is swallowed up
in this fear.

Others success
their joys and triumphs
in contrast to my lack,
just add fuel
to this fear.

This uncertainty.

Will I be able to make it?
or was I not created
to succeed?
That this is all I am
is this fear.

Steam

The steam from a teakettle.
To be in love with one's own name!

Funny sort of locomotive!

Cunningly

You hide your motives
in your apologies.

Your lust
in your love.

Your plots
in your promises.

I masked my pain
in my smiles.

My manipulations
in my advices.

My schemes
in my prayers.

Cunningly,
like you did.
