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 become fatalistic

We must take care of ourselves first
Though to think...

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...

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
     is never gray, but too much or too...

There I was as white as a sheet,
             the alcohol was working ,I could not feel my feet.
              The bus was out of the question, taxi too.

...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...

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 morning becomes even more 
arrogant when her arms reveal the...

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...

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)...

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

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 a different
Path to find;

So let me read
The final part
Of truth...

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...

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 it feels like I'm walking in sand.
So nothing 'twill be,...

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...

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...
