Best Bittered Poems


BLACKIE
Me father was a collier, worked Harton off the coast 
Though he rattled from the coal dust he was whiter than a ghost 
But the one thing that reviled him in his God-forsaken post
Was the torment of the pit ponies who he'd love and trust...

Robin Hood of My Life
When life dominated and things turned wrong,
Conditions bittered and when life pinched,
When I was hit hard by far gone situations,
And conspiracies tumbled down my life,
When life pierced with all its might,
When the loved ones neglected,
When future looked uncertain and dark,
When everything appeared meaningless,
And there was...

My Song of Sorrow Part 1
"MY SONG OF SORROW"part 1'
I sing to you my song of sorrow
A song from my bittered-heart
To call your consent to solemn-meeting
Tears rolled down my face
Like when the sky is profusely-cryin g
I wailed till my very physical-eyes saw nothing
It was so great that I bathe inmy...

Fire Water
Every drop won't be enough 
to bribe a heart that feels so much.
With every well dried to the bone
I forget your face and can't find home.
You warm my blood you'd be my crutch
Just take her place with care or such.
Like rubbing salt into a wound
I...

At the Heights
The once looming grey and desolate storm, now sails to the present, 
Overhead it silently suspends it's brewing opression on our scene,
The barren landscape of the moors rolls away into eternity,
Dressed in it's rugged and timeless mourning,
The rarest tree that once grew fertile there now...

O’ good woman (3)
Where’s your head gone (4)
Rolling around in other men’s beds, huh? (7)

Look what I found (4)
Your baggage unbound (3)
Should I refold the linen wraps on the ground? (9)

Appease your lease  (3)
Good woman, good grief (4)
Where did I go wrong? (5)

Your skin...

Northeaster Winds Rise
Chilled the January air
 shaken and stirred by suffused zephyr winds
 shimmering icy foam gurgled frigid in the froth
 singing, swirling, whining tempest
 lathered howling squeals thru the trees;
naked skeletons undressed by winter fall
 gasping breaths guttural involuntary convulsions
 tempestuous tease in tornadic twinning gales
...

A Measure of Happiness
he only once
saw his father

cry

on edge
in an easy chair
put mussed head in calloused hands
quaking
broke

a wooden rule
by luck
shouted bad black mad

and he bittered...

Lipstick Fantasy
On bated wings of illusion,
and deceiving words of 
conclusion,
the storms rage on within her
and the rain streams down her 
face.
Into her hands, a memory,
of what she thought could 
never be,
shell fondle it until its cold,
and seek the warmth within.
Hold her head up towards the 
sky,
she...

Behind
That - I would go with thee, behind some wall
of clear, peaked reasoning, some know it all,
and there, evade my own contention's stall -

Within thy grace and arms, insider's maul
of secrecy - thy besting, thy appall
would grieve me not, as since to thee have poll,
of...

Fear
 Deep inside me there's something called fear
Afraid of life itslef and ever flowing tears
Filling up space and moving like a river

It's Me, the Lost One
IT'S ME, THE LOST ONE

Always wonder, i'm never bothered
Lost in thoughts but found in love
Bittered and shattered yet not broken
Pierced and perforated yet whole
Am I still myself or another? I ask
Am I whole or sole? I wonder

      It's me, the...

I Still Love You
I heard from a friend today that you left town, the news shook me like an 
earthquake hitting ground.  I was left at mind with all the years, that you and I 
have shared our tears. I sat and wept on that cold wooden...

His father died in the 90s his pretty old sick mother is his prayers.
