Best Belt Poems

As I add another notch, 
Into my belt of failures.
I did not gain the joy of my heart.

And if I had gained,
Your honest…true love.
I wouldn’t contemplate 
Using that very belt
As a makeshift tourniquet,
Around my pleasant dreams. 

Choking the flow of my tomorrows,
To ease the bleak...

Bless your heart — Southern Sugah’
Pecan pies love clouds,
smothered and smothered in peaks
— fresh whipped cream, Darlin’
Sinful recipe — 
sweet lil’ hymn.
Ma’am!

Sometimes I laugh other times I cry
As the Conveyor belt rolls on by

The poems that us poets write
Bright as day – dark as night

Trying hard to read them all
Sometimes I wish the belt would stall

As I read page after page
Full of love – Full of...

i am a ye olde chastity belt maker and fitter
Fitting is free
I love my occupation
As I hold the key
For an emergency

Their men want them fitting
While they are away at war
And my services are required
More and more
Something I adore.

The women beg me to set them free
And...

Good tidings young maidens it is me
The chastity belt bespoke fitter
To all princess and queen
I could tell many a tale about the things I've seen
But alas the crusades are over
No need for chastity belts no more
I did good business when the men were at war.

I'm...

From on top of a sharp hill
My feet have molded the dirt,
oh I am wandering still 
How long does it take to fall again?
it's too late this time, I'm afraid,
The ship's already gone,
The fire from the engine is led,
The words for them never can be...

theres a belt in the sky, three stars wide
though the world is spinning it will never hide
its become my best friend, listens at night
when I stand alone and curse this fight
one star's for the hope that i've kept
'til each morning comes and puts me debt

Now picture this little scene if you can
On our wedding night, a little humour I had planned
Came into the room looking svelte
Wearing only a Yankee cap and a belt
Needless to say it broke the ice and the night turned out grand...

My Grandad wore his leather belt with pride 
Lions head buckle he'd polish till it shone
Always said I could have it when he died
His death came and then I felt so alone .

During the D. Day landings on sword beach
Fellow soldier hit in German air...

Many times I feel lost, 
a future without a purpose 
and an empty soul 
The truth of my life has conformed me 
to misery.

A sting in my heart, 
the poison seeping into my soul.

I am dying slowly, 
people glaring, 
eyes burning, 
opinions formed about me....

A stop route of west African slave trade
passing through gradual conversion from an escape center
to a beautiful republic cemented in the ninety-sixties,
to pride as the first nation in the middle of the Americas
and to become an independent political and economic entity.

The first among the ‘warm-climated’...

Mayday, mayday 
My mind can't believe this was happening
I have no words to say 
I heard something tail spinning and crashing
It was my debauched life
The sand in the hour glass was going way too fast
They both begin with s…stress and strife
I wish I could change...

My vapor trail
Spreads out across your vision
The fastest man alive
I live by the sword
And you came equipped
With all the right potions
All the right techniques
My heart screams bloody murder
Redrum
I bleed out emptiness
And feed on a small sun
To rise again
Blistering the country side
With the fury of your...
