Best Barrier Poems

Once more you appear, crossing my threshold
after breaking the lock to memory's door.
Your illusion enters without bothering to knock,
stepping into my room as a wavering shadow.
You breach the barrier of cries and goodbyes,
escaping from the grave where lost love slept.

I wept long ago and swore...

I couldn’t understand the language she spoke,

at least not all of it,

but the emotion pouring past her lips, 

the tears in her eyes, her clenched and shaking fists

enunciated more clearly,

than any piece of English Poetry I had ever read,

and grabbed me, held me still.

Pacific beauty, garland of shimmering pastels  
Textures and colors astound, deep in your ocean heart 
Your court is larger than any kingdom on Earth 
And hosts grand balls and parties, 
Shimmering schools of fish dance in unison 
Anemones gather by the thousands
Each more vibrant...

A friend once told me
How he was fascinated by me-
By how I could walk up to absolutely
Anyone and be their best friend,
Switch cultures like t-shirts
Emblazoned with "I heart
Fill-in-the-blank..."
I'm not sure quite how to explain
How once you've observed society 
For long enough you realize
That just about...

I never wanted any barriers,
           or dark taintings with thick smears,
                    but all have been close...

What weighs down this sandy wisp
between a bay and ocean is not
a causeway, not the press of footed towers,
nor the tread of bare and browning bathers
on its narrow, wet, khaki-colored beaches --
It is the weight of air, cloudless, clear
but heavy air -- blue in the...

A Chinese man who rolled his rrrs
Went into a shop to buy cigars,
He said, "Ri'll rav Renry Rinterman's rover rhere.
The grinning owner said, "Your English is bare,
But give me rifty rollars, here's your rox of rigars."...

I can only imagine 
How it looks from outer-space,
Our world's biggest coral reef;
A huge sapphire sparkling;

I can only imagine
How it feels to go swimming,
Alongside all those life forms;
Who call the Great Reef their home

Someday I hope to visit 
this big beautiful wonder;
then something real is...

A Korean War veteran
with a yearning to fly,
having tasted that feeling 
of floating with the clouds,
that feeling of hanging 
suspended in utter quiet,
of wanting to reach out
and gather the stars,
that incredible feeling of riding 
the sky, sitting in God's lap.

A memory that would not fade,
but...

Oxygen is depleting from what remains within the confines of which, a means to an end, lie guarded. Watch as hope disappears within the aftermath of this wreckage, which was constructed-meticulously seeking absolute perfection…; only to be as free as fatalities-secrets’, which barriers this perimeter—forming...

I have a seatbelt and a helmet in the loo
Eating chilli, precaution is a have to
With the flame from my rear
It was any mans fear

No RIP
For The Great Barrier Reef
No rest and certainly no peace 
We have managed to kill
The oldest life on our planet!
Did I say our planet?
She does not belong to us
But we to her.
She provides for us not we for her.
And she is Her
For like woman
She...

She arched her slim self,
Spun around,
Blushed a bit,
Held the river railings,
With both her arms!
No words were spoken,
But the body said,
If you love me,
You are on!

He squared his jaw,
Looked masculine,
Shaped his eyebrows,
Smiled broadly,
And held out his arms!
No words were spoken,
But the body said,
I do love you,
Let’s...
