My first poem ever

Category:

Subject Tags:

( a 1/4; 2/3 stanza)

1) Pirate saw a little lamb, her fleece as dark as coal

2) The hat she wore

3) There in her door

4) In heart so full of soul

 

1) The question stands, to this old man, will lamb enjoy this rhyme

2) A dove so sweet

3) That I should meet

4) A child out of time

 

Rhythmic Desire

Category:

Subject Tags:

Shivers run up my spine as I feel the cold air.
The moonlight gleams, cascading my curves.
Dressed in nakedness, I lay before you.
My chest synchronized with rapid breaths
...of wanting you.

Passion and desire is all I have to offer.

Becoming...A Man

Category:

I do,

I did,

I left.

 

Can you,

Forgive,

My Wreck.

 

I told you,

I’d be Done,

If you sought,

That show of One.

 

Now I am all alone,

Can’t look past all the moves,

And all the suffering,

I have Done.

 

Dreams of you still appear,

Re-birth

Category:

The public should be wiser,
our wealth controlled by misers.
Breed more sheep for the pasture,
bow down before the master.

When it comes to worldly knowledge,
you don't need to go to college.
Scare tactics promote the system,
tie us down in neo-serfdom.

Before Winter

Category:

 - When the leaves shrivel,
flowers faint and die.
Harvest must be gathered,
signs that winter is nigh.

"Why's the land fallow?"
We'd ask of the Earth.
-She shifts on her axis,
sways her great girth.-

              - -

Starvation

Category:

Acid words

Acid tears

Burning, scaring.

Building through the years

Screaming.

Overcome by my fears.

 

Artificial death,

Brought on by desperation.

My malnourished flesh

Falling off the bone.

Why does it make the pain go away?

 

Lies.

The lies of my life.

The Road

Category:

As the road gets dangerous,

begins to incline.

I realize my future,

starts to get tough.

I look to my past,

at what I called mine.

Reveals my lost love,

my gem in the rough.

My eyes blur with tears,

but I am not sad.

My head swells with fears,

I forgot what I had.

Celestial Sea

Category:

I look to my rulers,
and all that i see.
Lying, cheating swine,
shameless hypocrisy.

I want off this planet,
away from society.
I'd rather take my chances,
and sail the celestial sea.

The Trinket Seller

Category:

Down the winding and dusty country road

Comes a man whose story has ne'er been told.

A shock of white hair atop his meager head sits,

His tan, furrowed brow mostly covered with zits.

He has droopy eyes that point in every direction,

And a score it has been since his last erection.

Silver

Category:

**Note this is very, very dark!**

Trench Coat Philip

Category:

There once was a man in a dark trench coat.
Ugly as the sun with a cheery lilt as he spoke.
Freckled of face, with a crooked beak nose,
He whistled and tittered where e'er he would go.
As a man he was not good at his station,
The women would giggle and snort in his general direction.

Hard to Cry

Category:

When I'm around you

I get the feeling that I know you

We can talk till we smile and lock eyes

Getting out of touch with time

While we are reading each other from the inside

I feel comfortable when I'm around you

I wanna dive in and put my lips on your lips

Warm sensation tingling my mind and my penis

Under the Sheet

Category:

Though I’ve loved large and small,
I never had to persevere at all.
Why do I always go for the one,
Whom stares me in the eyes,
And shows me all of my lies.

Sadistic sounds

Category:

"What is this pain?" Asked the young child.
The eyes reflected back looking wild.
"Who are you?" The young child dared.
The face just stared.
"Why are you hear?" The child said with a tear.
"Am I who you fear?" The voice replied.
"Yes." The child said but would not confide.
"What for?" The voice said with a bore.

Perc Ain't Perfect: Neither Are You

Category:

Waking up the way I did,
Felt like I was square with
The House.

The worst week of my life
Because,
I’ve paid my dues to the pills.
And I’m Done.

Now, No Regrets I’m Free.
I hear music better,
Even dream a bit more.
Why would I ever, ever
Go back to score…

What We See

Category:

People are very unique. I’ve seen many different
Kinds of people from around this vast world.
I could sit here and bore you on all the
Different types of people, religions, even traditions.
But I’m not that kind of writer.
I’m gonna tell you exactly what I see.

My World

Category:

The world I know
Is in an unstable condition,
We’ve come a long way,
And showed so much ambition.
But we always forgot that
There is still a job called;
A Mortician.

Endless Sail

Category:

To my Once Liquid Gold,
I respect you, with much love,
You’ve been there aboard my boat,
When no one else saw me release
Those doves, which flew north.

But when I perched my eyes on that other girl,
The spell came over me,
Which felt like the first time in Hell.

The Park

Category:

Subject Tags:

I remember the first time we met.
It was winter, cold but bright and had been snowing the night before.
It looked like the pictures that I saw when I was just a kid
and it triggered that long forgotten sense of emotion
that tends to happen when age and worry are happily replaced for just a few moments.

Not a Poem-Ode to those Hungry

Category:

If a family of 4 can eat dinner at Any Subway
For: $6
Where is the money for this program?
Two $2 Dollar subs and One $2 Sub for the kids to split.

All the veggies and Nutrients you want, still only $1.50/Person.

Where is this done? Nowhere, and Why?

It’s All About The Money…

A Beating

Category:

It hurts,
Being thrown up against the hardest brick wall,
Warm Blood being spit out of the mouth,
Yelling “Stop”, gasping for more word,
Of your voice..
Slammed onto the cold ground,
A right connects to your head,
Seeing stars, Seeing Blackness, then
Seeing the one who was called out
By his friends.

Thy Wine

Category:

I’ve been blessed,
Not only by God,
But by the ones who gave me
This wisdom I hold,

No matter what the cost.
I’ve been blessed,
By fine wine,
Be-fruited at the perfect time.
Cork spoke with the voice of
God.
“Drink thy wine and all will see
Why thee had been blessed”.

My Eyez

Category:

The girl that can look me in the eyes,
and show no fear, no lies,
The girl to whom I adore,
and no one more,
The one who's reflection is shown,
when I'm not at home,
The feeling when I awake,
knowing it's not a mistake,
Shall one day take an endless sail with me.

Deceit

Category:

Every day I spent with you,
Every night I slept with you,
Every morning I awoke next to you,
Every precious moment we lived together..
Made me the man, to whom you desired.

In All Of The World

Category:

Many nights I wish you were near,
to cleanse my body, my soul, my fear.
Only God can decide, what's to become,
of this joyful relationship we've sought and we've won.

I sit and I stare at the stars overhead,
knowingly thinking, they are the same that are shed,
in your land, in your sky,
far, far away and this is why.
