Best Admit Poems

A poet - some deem that I’m not
I write about farting and snot
Won’t be driven away
I am here to stay 
Of critics, I don’t give a jot

Once in a while 
   I say no 
   But you are so seductive 
   and dangerous 
   The taste of you ... 
   You are melting 
   on my tongue

~ Inspired by the likes of Hoplessly Devoted to You ~

The reflection of your beauty are shadows on the wall,
The abstract of your spirit is still standing in the hall,
I know I am a victim of this ghostly fantasy,
I hate to admit it, but your...

provocation art
                                  trash - because it's immoral (?)

i love you ...
to the cold marrow, i do
beastess of black
the art of you, ritualistic, raw
all your names wrap me, winged and wondrous
tempt me, tepid, dragon
i dream of the chase ... in timeless space
wispy, winding the world
biting my tongue with a bitter citrus
or dripping with...

I'm a big sissy when it comes to my flu shot
So what if somehow a case of influenza I got
I'm healthy, I can take it
Though I'm old, can't fake it
I'm going, I'm going, off I go for my shot, I trot

So I sat back {for once} denouncing another day

Occupied composing the profound things I would say

Whilst waiting patiently for emotion to go away

Once again uninvited & the cause of the delay

 

Truth is I’m tongue tied and speechless even silent

Suddenly aware of how words too...

A UNKIND KIND OF KINDLING
  
I am taking pictures off the wall
Then taking them to the flame
I am burning each, every and all
Food for a fire fueled by blame

Snapshots that still have the sweet aroma of your perfume
As I question the sky “Can love...

Damn your hands and soft skin
Shamelessly proclaiming
Barefaced and audacious 
You keep my tongue on a leash

But how I take my share
Always hanging on your estimations
Where there is place enough for laughter
Never tasting the guilt with the guilty

In spite of this, on clement feet 
We watched...

Learning to love 
all parts of our room
Not just the corner
where we feel safe and secure
Knowing that dragons 
that hide deep within our hearts
Are princesses in a cage 
waiting to be released 
Drawing from everything 
when it seems meaningless
no feeling is too much
when it’s crying...

Yea, I Admit Being A Little Uptight...

Yet,...this baby boomer surrenders
since many an elapsed yesternight
to inevitable (albeit gradual)
cosmic fusion with universal spright
notched calendrical anniversary, mine
nondescript birth doth invite
quiet acknowledgement between
January twelfth and fourteenth 2019

lengthening shadows of twilight
years ordain nothing more slight,
than mine chronological meter,
which will tabulate...

I Admit it, I let my insecurities over power me..
My insecurities have gotten the best of me..
Not only making me wonder why you’re with me..
 
But making me think there’s someone better who’ll come along..
They’ve taken the best of me..
Got me questioning Where you’ve been..
Who...

maybe it's wrong to think of you
and to wonder what do you do
but to think what wrong is about
it's one of the question i doubt

it's a blade that cuts through my heart
a monstrous feeling to depart
but why do i need to do it?
does it matter...

As much as I hate to admit it,
Everything you are probably thinking is probably true. 
Because every day I think of you,
and the awful things you used to do.

Yet I smile, yet I laugh
yet I still give a crap
When realistically I shouldn't want anything to...
