Best Astray Poems

The weathermen led me astray;
I canceled my plans for today.
Expecting some rain
I thought I’d refrain
From an outing an hour away.

Instead, there is sun in the sky
So the question I have to ask’s why
When they make their report
They may come up so short
Or, much worse, they...

Seems the world has changed today
Have we all just gone astray?

As someone’s child lay’s dead on the corner
Is now the time to start this terrible horror?

We are quick to judge and point our finger,
Ready to point the gun, and pull the trigger.

A child has died,...

I WILL NOT GO ASTRAY


I had fired off curses, you’d forever been strong.
Like a crapshoot endeavor of a serious wrong.
I know i’ll reap my sowing, so change of practice is best.
So I read biblical scripture, and then I confess.
How you craved sweetened bananas, and getting...

There were times when I knew the hard past was a bear,
and when most of the days of my life were unfair.
It was during my moments of weakness I stood,
far away from the damage of timely despair. 
Could I feel the cold fever of love...

CAUGHT ASTRAY WITH THE GODDESS. 

Not always do I have my lens on
Call it a strain, but just want to be free
Trying to bring to focus every fair and dark
I can't be more absorbed than I am right now
This is the point of no return

Lead...

Regardless of what you heard in town
There'll soon be a turnaround
No need to have it all burnt to the ground
First thing I got to do is put the alcohol and herb down
Girl we can still work it out
Don't think otherwise, we both deserve it now

Saw...

it's not at our opt to stay
And
Live this life,
Poverty offered
A land,
We breath trembling
Our bodies,
Hearing gunshots,
Fleeing,
Screaming
Stepped With knife,
Hollering for help,
Honestly it gets us
Filled with worries

Trailed blood indicating
Wrecked,
I see no breathing
Nor trying,
It seem Departed.

Sobbing when she have been 
Forced into it,
Her feminine spoilt by pirates
While she acts...

The day her life went astray
Just two days before her big day
Barely a teen, unaware of the battle soon to be seen
So adored by all, the first to be there for anyone about to fall
She now wakes up everyday just to find herself wondering why
Was...

As doubts fester within my heart,
my path is suddenly unclear.
Confronting your lies and deceit,
I'm left on the verge of a tear.

An alternate reality
clouded what I refused to see.
For I was infatuated
by the concept that you loved me.

Separate and yet connected;
I was easily led astray.
And we...

“I hate cats”, she said a Million times.
“They’re always biting, scratching”;
“They rub all over you and
Leave fur on your clothing.”
Weeks later she called,
“We’ve got a cat.”
She told me; 
“It won’t
Leave.”...

Button Gone Astray

I read a poem the other day
About a button gone astray
Another poet said her thing
Was always losing one earring
Before I put my pen away
I had to join into the fray

I’ve never worn an earring
I never felt the need
And have I sewn on buttons
Hundreds...

The pregnant moon has led a man astray.
His life, and others too, he’ll devastate.
The plane trip of a fool begins today.

A lunacy infection in him lay
simmering, his heart to penetrate.
The pregnant moon has led a man astray.

For on a night of moon’s full bloom in...

He didn't read the letters she sent; 
That fact was quite evident;
The candles burned and sorrow churned; 
Once again she had been burned;

Missing him days and nights; 
She writes and writes and writes her plight;
Hope and pray there will come a day;
When  he will...

Deep inside where shadows lounge
True love was lost no magic found
That fleeting thought run now it's not too late
Never fathoming his deceptions so great

The magic once encompassing both
not knowing how far afield he'd go
One content with passions flash
The other forever chasing **ASS**

Both now knowing somethings...
