Best Amiss Poems
Through rolling vapor MISTS I spy, a sailing ship at sea,
And think, perhaps, the Captain’s lost, MYSTIFIED as to where he be-
For he had MISSED his plotted course, because he could not see,
And now was lost and AMIDST, with others just like he-
There was no sign of MISTING, leaving the harbor an hour before,
REMISS about the weather, didn't know a MIST was rolling to shore-
MYSTERIOUS murk surrounded his ship, as he looked to find some ground,
And MISTY eyed he did become, when a way home wasn’t found-
“MISSING BOATS in a MYSTICAL FOG", the newspaper headlines read,
And those who'd been 'board the “MYSTIC,” now reported dead-
There is yelling and crying
Good.
There is screaming.
A loud wail. Great!
Uh-oh.
Dead quiet.
I creep up, quietly
To spy on them
Knowing something is
Up. They are four, six,
And eight,
Only quiet when they
Are up to their most
Dastardly deeds.
“A Man of Lost Talents”
We all have talents
Mine the most precious of all
Without a doubt
It is something
I could live without
Some would say it’s a surprise
Some would say it’s remarkable
Some would say it’s incredible
Me, thinks, “Fantastic.”
My wife says I could do much more
If I would quit............things
She says I would have more time
If I would quit............things
Maybe, I could declutter my life
If I would quit............things
I must say it is indeed
A talent that I could live without
But what fun would that be?
I would love to teach others this talent.
I would make a great mentor.
There is always someone
Willing to pay for a great talent.
If I would quit............things
I am the “Master”
I think it’s genetic
Perhaps inherited
Maybe bathetic
Certainly pathetic.
What the hell is bathetic?
So where did the tic come from?
My mother was of German decent
And they never.............anything.
But Me,
Something is always amiss.
I am always happy except
When I.............. things
My glasses, my billfold, my credit card,
My place in a book, my car, and, of course, my keys.
And then,
There is my mind.
I say,
Where the hell did it go?
She said,
I really don’t know.
I say,
It has to be near.
She said,
You just forgot
What you thought?
I said,
No!
I just thought
What I forgot.
I asked,
What happens when I get
Old and gray?
She said,
It won’t matter,
You’re lost anyway.
I say,
Who took my *&#$%@ pen?
Together we stood
but, my hand remained empty.
I miss holding hands.
Don’t play like u wanna kiss me
If u miss me
Don’t hug me
see what happens if you try and touch me
Untouchable
Stop.
That just makes me sound pathetic
I don’t get it
Guess love is a confusing thing
Always down and causin pain
Till it happens
Then it’s beautiful
Romantic
Larger than life
Gigantic
I’m frantic
Just thinking of ya
Wishin u knew
And I don’t even know ya
I’ll show ya
Whatcha got?
What I got’s
Nuthin that I’m not
Why hide it
I don’t deny it when I can’t fight it
I try it
Try harder everyday
Try to re-erase the pain u cause
You cause me so much anguish
Feet flying out from under me
Like superman’s blanket
Crank it
Crank up the volume on the radio
Dj playing my song on his stereo
Im scared of you and all u do
Why u gotta play the game other lovers do?
Thought it wasn’t u
But you’re a sleezy dirty bastard screwin with my heart
Treat me like a kind of pest
Make the dj stop
Stop the beating of the music
Beating in my heart
Love.
Love is blind
So it’s ignorant
People comitting sin
You’re a foolish nescient
And ignorance is bliss
But not when my heart is so amiss
At least I’m happy being me
There’s nothing I pretend to be
Make the dj stop
Stop the beat of the music
Beating in my heart
The love
Love is blind
So its ignorant
Like a hurricane
I’ll never be the same
Like a tornado
Round and round
My head spin
My eyes stay open
In sleepless nights
With sleepless eyes
And loveless frights
Of the reasons are explanations-
Pockets, frailty, disorder, excuses
Various angles of view
And I miss the bull’s eye
Score me on the fringes anyway
Am borrowed on tomorrow
Leading of life, that’s the worth
Go, in peace, from me-my loss
Do I miss you
Because
You're far?
Do I miss you
Because
It's been awhile?
Why do I miss
What do I miss
What what oh what
Is amiss?
Is it the absence
Of you?
The distance
Of you?
Am I night
Missing the moon
The twinkling of stars
All the strangers around me
Not bright enough
To lure me out of the dark
Corners that I hide; that I lurk in?
Or am I grass
Missing the sun
The warmth
The fiery burn
Motionless too long
Without a light breeze?
Or am I the shore
Still feeling
The splash
Of your farewell
Long after
You've waved
Goodbye?
APAD13 - 093
In the world that we live in things are amiss.
We no longer welcome Gods heavenly bliss.
Through the swamps of sin we have swam,
not caring what awaits us as we near the end.
In his garden of beauty we could soar,
but this gift that awaits us we choose to ignore.
How long will he watch as we tear at his heart?
How long will his children tear him apart?
A path to his door he lays at our feet,
yet we turn our backs and choose to retreat.
The truth of what’s right is carved in our minds,
yet we choose to resist and live our lives blind.
Jesus knocks gently on our front door,
but we pretend to be sleeping until he knocks no more.
We go to our churches and give rise to his name,
then on the next day we cause someone pain.
Open thine eyes children of the Lord.
Fear not the evil of Satan’s hordes.
Lift up thine hands and praise the Lords name.
You will find that Love and our Savior is one in the same.
All I wanted for Christmas was everything
Everything I got for Christmas
Now resides at the pawn shop
You ask for the world, you end up with Earth -
Dirty
Rotting
Infested
Utterly confusing
The most liberating thing a person can do
Is say 'I don't know' ... And mean it
But what if you know everything?
What if you know nothing?
What if you know that you know nothing?
Of course no one will believe you
They all 'know' you're full of it
You can't be better than they are
But I am
They just don't 'know' it yet
Beginnings of
A cave replete
A history
In gore complete
A mega rage
Of years entreat
Devour earth
To my defeat
And how do we
Do savor it?
The kind of which
Must discomfit
A water-world?
A match past lit?
A death null and
A fitting split
From life beginnings
Do return
To end of life
And my sojourn
From tree and cave
A dweller due
This litany
In time for you
The crime is past
The deed is done
This world without
Its killing fun
A season which
In Bible time
Must suit the need
And fit the crime
But how best He
Will manage this
When all have witness
All amiss
Tears falling like rain drops
Agony pinching at my heart
A wailing cry, deepening sobs
All because I loved you from the start
Ever since that rainy day
Your smile made feel like a spring's flower
Your laughter warmed me like summer may
Your touch stilled me like winter's shower
Then to tell you how I feel, and make Love complete
Was like running to a cliff's edge
'Cause I loved you so much I'd rather love you in secret
Than to have lost you in an amiss instead
You were my friend I grew fond of for your beauty and your fault
Now a stranger you've become because it was your Love that I sought
Miffed by society's resolution to dis and unsatisfy the efforts of its own to change
the way automatic convenience has simply taken over the job of its human
counterpart and creator.
Amiss at the lack of attention paid to the impossibilities supposed by the errors
and injustices that are the result of inanimate objects allowed to do the job that
requires both human emotion as well as intelligence.
Miffed that we allow other means of communication to substitute for the original
means of conveying information via conversations by human voice.
Amiss that as intelligence gives way to the advancement of technology; we are
foregoing the most important and successful way of sharing ideas, exchanging
information and engaging in the challenging but rewarding feeling ,when your
conveyed insight is welcomed by the live, warm response of " Hello, how may I
help you?"
Silently, she waits.
Quietly, he hesitates.
Boldy, they kiss.
Yet, the situation seemed amiss.
Your presence AMISS
From this soft gentle hand
There is only permanent space
Where once I could feel and caress your polite face
I am alone in this Room,typing away a Sad little piece
When we were LIKE THAT(my fingers snapping)
The Bond was there and real for comfort
You brought the Poet out into the light to shine
Every little verse became magical yet true
When THE POET wrote of life..he meant it for you
There were days that I felt like an ugly duckling
WHO WOULD EVER WANT TO BE SEEN WITH ME
This part reached out to me because it was from your heart
Sunshine and the wind blessed our selves
Autumn bowed to applause
JUST BECAUSE..
we knew what we had that others,unfortunately,had not
Moments,between the Sun(Rising forth and Lying back)
Your entire body kept me warm from the night breeze
Silhouette and Gold
5ft five inches that told
The entire Novel of your life,in kisses with a silent scent
As suddenly as you leaped into my life
The next instance,there was nothing more
I am alone.CRYING on this hill
Season is changing but without YOU now AMISS!!
For the other such as me,
Who's destined to be alone,
But for love to ever be,
And make its presence known!
