Best Blindsided Poems

As we move through our daily life
Sometimes with heartache pain and strife
Along comes an angel with eyes of blue
Then you're convinced she was meant for you

As we wade through uncertainty, wonder, and fear
Thanking the Lord for someone so dear
That there can be such goodness beauty...

She said that she would always love him
As she was walking out the front door
He knew what she was really saying 
I don't want to see you anymore. 

He wondered where it had gone so wrong
And how he had missed the warning signs 
To him,...

I dreamt of being transported to a strange alien land
The sky was splattered with lumps, of red gooey sand 
Spacemen appeared through it, with rubbery hands
This wasn’t on my bucket list, I could not understand 

Another blip sent shockwaves, from above my head 
These spooky...

Funny how you begin your day with a smile
Thinking the coming hours will grace your style
So you hurry to get to where you want to be
Carry out the mundane which keep you busy as a bee
No sooner you put those feet up to bask in...

How has it come?
There was youth,
then love-
a certained indefatigable spirit,
tending memories, coddling pasts;
those pasts, her.
Recalled experiences as exhilarating
as the finest spring breath;
he'd left it all to chance,
or specified women, and now
blindsided by loneliness
and loss,
waxing and waning unpredictably,
but mostly waning.
An ordinary mortal
leads an un-heroic life
until nothing...

Moments of numbness, replaced by a blast.
Icy cold fingers grip my chest - I gasp.

It's heat of summer; No wind in sight.
Just icy coldness of things not right.

No words can form; No thoughts set upright.
All is a jumble; My throat is knot tight.

Nothing can free;...

Lived a sly lady of Mozambique
who seductivly offered a peek.
Men paid her a buck
but were out of luck.
What they saw was totally oblique....

The tears of sadness will flow in silence
to stream down upon a face as they fall
emotions born will bring their compliance
the heart will weep in a sorrowful call
a cut from a lover bleeds confusion
this bewildered state where there's no escape
pain will lead to a final...

through out the years
seemed to be 
constantly blindsided by 
backhanded compliments
made that were fuelled by 
pent up resentments...

“... betrayal begins with trust.” ~ Phish

Nothing is more hurtful than betrayal--
The traits of Cain, Delilah, Judas, Brutus;
In their darkest hours they all led astray
those they vowed to be loyal to and protect,
spawning events that were calamitous. 

Trust—
It appears, there’s none anymore
Not here, not now...

(alternately christened great insight
to those who Braille)

Ah.... so glad thee did ask
summoning poetic title
tis most daunting task
if lucky forthcoming praise
will yours truly to bask

and bathe with short lived,
while I quaff vintage
amber liquids out the
golden silver made flask.

Utter exhaustion taxes me
fifty shades of gray matter
while trying...

You made me 
Think you believed me.
When I told you what I 
Find out.
Then you went and Blindsided me.
Protecting your image
And your family.
Was more important
Then the truth.
So you took Emily
From me .
And I saw your true colors.
I knew then you 
You were never for me....

I am full of anger and rage.
When will I be able to turn this page?
My life is not the way I wish it would be.
But the blessings in between I have to see.
I remember the first time I saw your face.
It was as if time...

Her whispers of "love," a suffocating embrace,
She claimed I was her air, her very space.
Blinded, I clung to a love's sweet charade,
Ignoring whispers, the warnings that frayed.

Smiles, kisses, a tapestry brightly spun,
Purpose bloomed, a battle fought and won.
Deaf to murmurs, blind to crimson signs,
Lost in...
