I'm sure you'll rip it apart for punctuation  do what you will i know that part is coming anyway

Doth the heart beat with the tireless time,
In th’ birth of a long forgotten form
To see beyond this dream of woven thoughts-
”Onwards! Onwards!” cries the memories
Ah, ‘tis a past not worth remembering!
For death begins with births first breath-
”Onwards!” screams the memories
but yet I linger in the moment ne’er passing.

Lo! ‘tis a tear on a vessel sailing down,
without thee to be heard in the wake of the past
”Too late!” says the memories knowingly-
a play of visions from the past shall always end the same
drown in thy lonesome form awoken lover,
Mere tears shall not save thee from the grave-
nor shall the world know thine name
”Angels hath no name” recites the memories.

Ah! Be forgotten once more remembered pain,
Be a sin and place thyself amongst the thoughts
’twas a shadows lips my own dost taste-
”It lingers! It lingers!” implies the memories
what mortal could resist this taste,
Come down the hero hath fallen astray-
what place be this unto any such on earth
”It is before thou dies” whispers the memories.

What poor soul hast washed away,
The new day for the old
And reached into the sky with open arms-
’Tis what I must do to see thee once more
It longs!- it longs!- be death a whole new world,
And on the rest be none like me-
For death begins with births first breath
”Onwards! Onwards!” cries the memories.

In my book anyone can write poetry but a poet longs to share.. Have no shame this poem need to be shared.


Thanks

'Onwards! Onwards!” cries the memories.'

Are the grammatical errors intentional?

"cries" would work with "memory," but her you have "memories;" try using "cry" and other verbs that agree witha plural object.

I really enjoyed this poem's theme particularly because it really spoke to me. In my opinion, it can be even better than it is after adding all those punctuation and grammatical corrections that other people have suggested.

the sun setting over turlock,
where we hustle for change/
the converted remain/
loyal to the drug dealers
