Best All Or Nothing Poems

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...

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...

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."...

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

There I was as white as a sheet,
             the alcohol was working ,I could not feel my feet.
              The bus...

...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...

Description:  An attractive woman struggles with destiny.

It's four am; you are still staring at the crucifix on the grey wall, and the glaring 
darkness hurts your sad, brown eyes.  The color purple replaces sparkle who 
abandons because all must live and die, and...

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...

Call me home
Or not at all
For I can’t take
Another fall;

Engrave your name
Into my bones
Or leave me naked
And alone;

Let me inside
Or keep me out
For kind facades
I’ll do without,

For it is better
That I know
If you will stay
Or if you’ll go –

To live a life
Apart from mine
And choose...

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...

It has to be all or nothing.
This is my foot putting down.
I gave you my heart, you gave it back.
Yet you dont not want it around.
I follow you from room to room,
With dying heart in hand.
But the sting of it...,  I'm losing my witts
And...

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 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....

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...

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)
