Best Bite The Dust Poems


While We Stay Silent
While we stay silent
The fight is going on.
In Chicago, Los Angeles, New York
The West Indies
And the Lebanon
All over the world
There is a tale to tell
Of some living in paradise
Whilst others live in hell.

Its not a random stumble
Nor a twist of faith,But a master plan.
By those...

The earth seems flat and Godot decided to arrive on the scene

Like a boil stuck on a pancake dressed as a trans gender carnival queen

He carries a prophecy written on a tag hung from his shoulder

Suggests Sisyphus had it easy on slippery slopes with his...

Premium Member The Empty Swing
Is it still there, swaying in the
Chicago air?
I dream of myself with dark,
ribboned braids, being just seven.
And swinging my tanned legs as
hard as I Could,,trying to kiss God's 
cheek in heaven.

Oh to be seven again!
When free speech reigned.
Girls had cap guns and trains.
We played games...

Grace in-pours, if in God we trust
The welcome mat is laid
Erst ego cravings bite the dust
Ascension ready made 

As bliss pulsations race 
We see God face to face
In endearing embrace

Open doors
Grace in-pours

Unquotable quotes: Addictions: Smokes, Drugs, Sex, Films and Sleep – XL

Where the hand leads, the eyes close.
When the eyes shut, imagination is on fire.
What you don’t really see is what you feel.
When you feel at ease you fool yourself.
No joy is real until the pain...

It’s true that we are different, but life can be tough for all of us
No matter who we are, we all shall one day bite the dust

So take your liberty to debate and disagree, to fuss and discuss
Let’s exercise our freedom of speech and argue...

I Am a Dandelion
Why would I want to be a flower
when I can smell as sweet?
Why would I want to be an ephemeral spectacle
when I can be an eternal bloom with love within?
Why would I want to wilt and wither
and bite the dust?

But if I have to, I'll...

Ephemeral Epiphany
Like a flower that wilts, 
Like a tower on stilts, 
This life's just a vapour, 
Bite the dust, time scraper, 

Like the fall of Eden, 
Like the call of Big Ben, 
Time hurries rapidly, 
Life scurries vapidly, 

Like a wave that abates, 
Like the grave...

Isn'T the Same Old Spiel
8/10/17


Be careful what you ask for
Next thing you know it wasn't all that great, or you want even more

This isn't the same old spiel
I'll tell you something real
Everyone has an 'Achilles heel'


Speaking the truth, life is rather short
Don't be a poor sport
The ball is in...

Helium Balloons
Helium balloons may last
Well past when they're inflated,
Although longevity like that
Is vastly overrated.

For who needs "Welcome Baby" ones
When yours is two years old;
And most "Congratulations" 
After weeks start growing cold.

Balloons fulfill their duties well
But often they will pop;
With helium, however,
All those greetings never stop.

Yet there's...

Premium Member Ways To Go
Some like to say “give up the ghost”, 
To mean forever abandoning your post. 

The rowdy ones prefer to kick the bucket, 
Though that would surely make a racket. 

Many are said to bite the dust,
When they’re catching the skyward bus. 

A gambler would likely...

The Show Must Go On
My heart gently weeps yet again
For the long lost song of Mercury.
I know it’s been some 27 years since he left the stage we mortals call life,
But even now his light still is bright in this darkness we call our lives.
We all still honor his...

Angel Dust
Never seen beautiful angels
sprinkle angel dust on me
as snowflakes on a leafless tree,
and I don't expect them to alter things
when they swoop down with their long wings;
where were they when I faced fears and dangers?


Angel dust has another meaning...
besides the magical power to alter a...
