All Or Nothing Poems - Poems about All Or Nothing

All Or Nothing At All

The farther we stray
from our natures
the more depressed we get

Hunting, fishing
and chopping wood
our DNA and yet ...

We sit and stare
at digital screens
our spirits on the run

And shun each other
inhumane
 our futures zero — sum

(The New Room: September, 2024)

All or nothing

All is well, unless its not . 
The race never starts
The run doesnt stop. 

Im either rock bottom or right at the top . 
Voice too quiet
 quickly too cross 

My hair is washed tidy
Or  tied in a knot.
Stomach sits empty 
Ive eaten alot.  

I envy  small doses 
To know when enough

ALL OR NOTHING

Will Silence

strum the wind

like  that of guitar strings…

Wherefore art thy

melody?

Ah, perhaps in 

tinges of

solitude and frail 

wings that soar

the skies. 


Will those book pages

flip into what is real…

facets of memoirs–

warm-filled,

unchased by moonbeams,

unrivalled by time.

The heart ascending the stairway 

of the mind–too sublime 

to behold 

all or nothing.

All Or Nothing

...I remember when it was SOMETHING.
A Lesson OR Blessing, actually BOTH.

Is blood thicker than water? Not if bad blood has formed. Was it always tainted, beneath the naked eye of a surface picture painted?

Life's moments are so fleeting...
I can't imagine partaking in unnourishing concepts and allow for the mere sake of repeating. Wouldn't that be

All Or Nothing, Part One

Once again you came to me 
In the imprint of a dream
This time it was you who taught
And me who sat agleam

You put your arms around me
You placed your hands on mine
You showed me what it felt like
Cold ice ran up my spine 

I turned around and kissed you 
My self control was gone
It felt

All Or Nothing

You know in everyone's life a little rain must fall
Sometimes it's hard and other times it doesn't come at all
Much like in our lives we lead today
Where it's all or nothing all the way
Some choose to dance in the rain and get their feet wet
While others haven't experienced a true rain yet
Where everything is soaked

All Or Nothing

I thought that I could handle it 
That the passage of time 
Had healed my heart enough to be able to open the door a little 
And invite you in

However, 
Time passing also revealed a new truth
Something I wasn't expecting
Something I was determined to disprove 
Which is the reality that it's become 
All or Nothing

So,
Since

All, Or Nothing At All

I don’t limit who reads my verse,
only who I answer

Each word thick-skinned and armor-clad
all questions zero-sum 

(To Nelson Riddle & Frank Sinatra: March, 2021)

All Or Nothing

If you’re not ready to kill the lion
—never stalk its trail

(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)

All-Or-Nothing Thinking

For what reason this all-or-nothing thinking?
     Too hot, too cold,—but never in the middle
     I live, a victim of this ruthless riddle
that contradicts reply (and has me sinking!?).

This anarchy of mind that's got me drinking
     is never gray, but too much or too

All Or Nothing

All or nothing


Love is pain.  Love is the cure.
Love hurts too much.  Give me more.
If you can love, then love me truly.
Anything less is useless to me.


If you like me, but do not know if you love me,
Then go away.  You are unworthy.
I only do all out love, or nothing.
If you do

All Or Nothing

Why must it be 
all or nothing
                why the two extremes 
why not
a happy medium
like maybe, 
or something in between;
try it for now
if it doesn’t work 
we’ll try something else 
why all or nothing 
why so terse;
walking this fine line

All Or Nothing

What if this all means nothing 
Then my life it seems would be a fantasy 
Visions granted to me but what does it really mean?
Or are they just there to deceive...
Then the existence of everything..
is just some dumb made up dream
then there really is nothing to believe 
If all i see means nothing 
A puzzle

Between All Or Nothing

There is balance in the rhythm of life
A give and take for which we strive
In the middle between all or nothing
We find our own path to survive

Caring for others unconditionally 
An altruistic motive though unrealistic
To want to care for others is generous
For some it can become fatalistic

We must take care of ourselves first
Though to think

All Or Nothing

I’m awesome and magnificent,
bragged Universe one day,
my galaxies have black holes and
beware my gamma ray.

No force can match my power, so
with me you must agree.
"Oh hush" said Spirit quietly. 
"You’re nothing without me."
