Banged Up Poems

Time and again finances stretched
to breaking point
crackle, pop, and snap
'curse Alfred E. Neuman
smiles at yours truly
(this luckless papa)

with with his toothy gap
haint even Abel nor Cain,
nor I pull myself up
courtesy frayed bootstrap
dirt poor penniless deathtrap
compliments countless many
mashup mechanical mishap

I have flashbacks of you, from when I was so young  
i thought you left me, to explore this vast galaxy, for mankind  
You taught us how to survive on this big banged up, revolving planet  
Leaving...Read More

Men glassed, broke, gunned down, dying 
Why do they feel the need for all this fighting,
Over pigment precious postcodes and petty people lying, 
Now there up in the sky flying.

Lay down your guns,
To save our daughters and sons,
Lay down the...Read More

I sit watch want to weep
seeing you sitting on the street
with cane made of wood
hand carved  not very good
a banged up sign in hand
sitting unable to stand
cars just pass you by
my heart wants to cry
no one worrying how you...Read More

I took a chance,

that you would be the one

my banged up heart

beating new beats

life flows in through windows

and doors

long closed

love peeks through mirrored lenses

asking me if I feel lucky

well do I??

yes...yes I do...Read More

Inside A ‘72 Econoline

This old green van has a musty smell to it,
Like a pair of sweaty rancid socks
Mixed with half-empty beer cans.
It’s a banged up thing, this ’72 Econoline.
Scratches and mysterious dents 
Cover its façade,
Like boils on a hairless...Read More

“Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and...Read More

My sweet summer baby turns four in July,
He’ll be whisked off to school in the blink of an eye,
Dressed as a clone and required to comply.

He’s got cute puppy fat and two cotton-soft cheeks,
His words are adorably wrong when he...Read More

"Black Hearted Love"

One key hidden
‘neath dry crackling
Autumn leaves
and silver-chorded 
spider webs
worn out, trodden over 
forgotten
it would seem
near the last door
it lies waiting.

I march through 
the War of the Roses'
mollases primed lies 
towards Winter,
with it’s arms outstretched
it's waiting for me 
a...Read More

On the run, again
Being chased by rogue police
I got to protest
That I’m innocent
I’m a law-abiding criminal
I mean citizen
On the last exit to wonderland
I ended up all banged up in hospital
After this constant battle
With guns and knives
Another one bites the dust
On...Read More

I have been in your prisons
I played the game
I know about loneliness
I felt the pain
Being banged up, 23 hours a day
This is good for no-one
It can drive you insane
The strong will live
And the weak can die
You say its rehabilitation
I know...Read More

Eyes open to reality but I'm stuck in actuality
My life is desirable but only to whom who never see me depressed hiding alone in my room 
I'm the fast car that speeds by you and for a second you wish...Read More

The town was all a flutter; Zombie the Musical, was coming to town.

Bruce Willis was the hero, with the Mad Scientist Z, for all to blame.

     FATHER
Which love is not a struggle to the mind?
Tis easier to think love glides along,
regardless of a road not there to find,
or never caring what is right or wrong.

One love, of child, a father's steady...Read More

Which love is not a struggle to the mind?

O great encompasser
of the three AM world
and the boundless countryside,
where the wind sprints gently
shedding its high heels,

I wish you would come more often,
to rest a weightless hand 
on a banged up shoulder,
and to plant a tender kiss
on a pale grizzled...Read More

As a good gardener would do, 
she had to evaluate the quality of her trees plants and fruit,
She saw that some were rotten; they had spoiled at the root.

Unforgivness and resentment suffocated her delicate tree,
It was time to prune the...Read More

The more I think about this strife
The more I want to take his life
Some sickening, evil, hellish brute
Returned to his primal roots

And every step that he will take
His humanity shall forsake
God help him if we cross
For I’ll make him atone...Read More

He had come in all banged up.  
I normally lust after the tall ones, and he is relatively short --

His left eye was swollen.

Brick had seen his share of hospitals 
and had been to Saint Cecelia's more than once,
on occasion, a perp would get banged up

My blessed  Soul word out of sight

Opening my gray, black, thrown to the floor, banged up cell
I read:

Do you remember last night?

It was asked!
It was asked!
What do I do?

To be honest I sort of do
mostly remember that kiss from me to you
that kiss that I gave...Read More
