Best Alleys Poems

I chase you through the alleys of my mind
Your quickened steps ensure you're out of reach
My tears collect then run much like my feet
You cannot see or hear their silent speech

And in the shadows of forgotten dreams
I strain to see the beauty of your face
Before...

Urban Alleys – poet’s dozen contest


windblown city streets
becalmed trash waiting idly
beneath tour buses

sweet breeze that will release the steam
of gutter’s flowing stagnant stream

rats - red eyes in furtive glances 
oil slicks glowing rainbow coats

squinting sunrise peeking in the alley
tarmac trash awaiting take-offs rippling rush
night stalkers...

Ghosts rise up at night
From the sinking tale of tides
rocks hear all the Cries

The darkened alleys beat
Drumming to the sound of the falling rain
Lifting my head in the gutter
Crushed by the weight of water

Or
Is it burden?

The siren screams low
Head bows to the silent din
Whilst knees scrape the dead gutter
Where the past lies, clawing

The yowl repeats
A cry to the...

sometimes i feel going back time,
in a place never been,
starts with st.Ana winds,
ends in a grid of dark alley,
avevues,
hand in hand lighted only by neon light,
to separate the truth ,
from lies

As I walk past the alleys, I see you
Crawling, begging, moaning in pain.
Sorrows you hold, flood the avenue,
Things you've lost and could never gain:
You cry at the poverty, down the lane,
And no nomads here hold your hand.
I promise, I'll look up to you, fight you're...

A nascent cry
demands the signature
of space.
I will start the self destruction-

clawing back
on the land of
betrayals.
The rule of sky was at stake.

Trees were burning
and the birds
want to grasp
the stark reality of notional violence.

In dark hour
I know not words
to lift the eyelids
the cloud, the flowers, the blood...

The Alleys of Virtual Municipalities
By David J Walker

I love walking 
the rutted roads 
Running in 
hidden groves 
Through  
      the residential jungles

the rambling 
backyard boulevards 
dividing the
single file plies of
dirt and gravel 

A straight line between 
Picket fenced fortresses...

Saša Milivojev - BLIND ALLEYS


Concrete
Glass
Rain
Gloom
All is withered
Black birds
I’m at the beginning
I’m at the end of the alley
O, Virgin
Please
Every verse I will sing
You genuinely verify
Through new eyes
The remnants of people
I recognise in satyrs
That walk around in metropolises
Using lies and cheating
Adorning themselves with others’ merits
Fighting with hidden...

If some is good
more is better
Less is threatened
all enslaved

If more is reasoned
less is questioned 
Good intentions
—hell repaved

Your smile 
on alleys with linden trees
is like a moonlit nights
under the shining stars.
On the bench,
in the park with summer flowers,
I wish to embrace you
near by my soul... 

Now,
with white hair 
in my way to the starry sky
in the moonlit,
on alleys with linden trees
with summer...

Let’s make the Greenland green again
Melt down the ice with fire
Let’s build on Greenland’s pleasant land
A city of desire 
Erect the towers most gigantic
And hotels on the coast 
The biggest port on the Atlantic
I dare to propose 
Let’s make some money out of soil
I hope...
