Best Blockades Poems


Disappointment

Disappointment was never as lovely as she
Hope caught in my heart fighting delicately
She's always the dream that never fades upon waking
The cause and the comfort for all of my shaking

I like to glance over then turn carelessly
Just to see if it makes her come over to me
Her smile is infectious and wipes away fear
If it fades then I show her that I'm always near

Sometimes we are split by self-built barricades
So I break through our silence of awkward blockades
And no matter how often old times we recall
We'll forever laugh and the false walls will fall

They all think I'm crazy my truth to repress
Do anything for her and never confess
Yet silently love I continue to show her
It's enough just to feel that I'm getting to know her

But despite my devotion and adoration
There still remains space for one complication
The spark in my eyes grows colder and dim
When I am reminded she's happy with him

Surely love wants the best for the person it's for?
Not selfishly trying their joy to ignore
But however hard jealousy my heart will dent
If my darling is happy, then I am content.

All The World's A Stage
You'd better believe it

Each Act encircles
daily excursions circumstantially

transversing through eternity.
Conversations comprise

realms of performances
pestered with dalliances

circumventing stratospheres.
You surmise it's

not a dream,
but utopian reality

as you project your image
into telescopic

Karmic repercussions
drifting through sequential

blockades of hurdles
terminating serenity.

Peacefulness serenades auras
of dancing mistruths

utilized to perfection
under lights.

You take a final bow,
go to sleep.

My Winter

Sure it comes with shoveling,salting,sanding,scraping,snow plowing and snow blowing 
It also comes with so much more beauty that's well worth knowing 
Snow blockades for snowball fights
Playing king of the mountain on a blanket of white 
Explore tunnels into snow made forts 
There's snow angels in shapes and sizes of all sorts 
Take a break for tasty marshmallows in hot cocoa 
Hike back up to the top of the sledding hill and go
Have fun on tubes,saucers,sleds and skis
Watch out below for beautiful snow covered trees 
Snowboarding can give you such an adrenaline rush
Enjoy watching the sled dogs mush
Build some snow sculptures or a simple snowman 
Take a ride and enjoy snowmobiling,ice fishing or to the crazy outhouse races because you can 
Take time to catch snowflakes on your tounge 
No matter your age it makes you feel young 
Try out some snowshoeing or perhaps a kabogum run
Ice skating and ice hockey can also be fun 
Hunters appreciate snow for tracking their deer
For the U.P winter is a wonderful time of the year 
Tell stories sitting cozy with loved ones around a fire 
There's so much about winter in the U.P I desire 
This is only a small list of what makes winter in the U.P so super
It has so much more to offer, yah der ay I'm proud to be a yooper
Slip on a wet suit and surf the waves of Lake Superior 
Being the largest fresh water lake in the world she isn't known for being inferior 
Jump in a hot suana to get out of the cold
So many adventures and mysteries in the U.P to unfold
End your chilly day with a hot pasty, bowl of chili and a hot bath 
When you wake up tomorrow you will probably have to shovel a new path
The U.P in winter is worth visiting, it's a beautiful sight 
The U.P in winter is a beautiful winter wonderland delight

Radio free State of Deseret 3 July 2118, 6 PM Salt Lake Time

International news first.

27 Zionist terrorists leaders were beheaded in the Caliphat of Palestine yesterday after their failed attempt to establish a third state of Israel in Jerusalem during Rhamadan.

One of the last two remaining members of the European Union, France, decided to secede after the other remaining member, Germany, forcibly annexed neighboring Austria after a surprise attack last night.  Experts think the attack on Austria was to gain thousands of hectares of undepleted uncontaminated topsoil, and to find a place to deport all the refugees Germany has taken in from the Kurdistan-Turkey-Syria conflict.

After six months of street fighting, Anglo-Canadian forces finally captured the last of the Quebec Libre forces in Montreal.  Surviving members of the Libre forces offered only token resistance, as most were near starvation from the blockades.

Several promising oil fields have been identified in the Amazon River Valley of Brazil.  Indigent natives had already left the area after the last of the rain forests had been plowed-under to grow sugar crops to make ethanol for fuel.
Venezuela and the Latino Free State of Texas are competing for contracts to drill.

Regional news.

Tomorrow marks what would have been the 342nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the former United States of America.  It also marks the 42nd anniversary of the simultaneous nuclear attack by North Korea and Iran on 7 major coastal cities of the USA during America's tricentennial celebrations, which precipitated the schisms in North America today.

The Deseret Volunteer Guard and Air Force successfully defended the kingdom against a new wave of attacks by gangs, pirates, and sexual deviants that tried to infiltrate via Las Vegas into what used to be Zion National Park.  

The Prophet's Safety Council wants to remind all faithful member-citizens to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, to always carry your portable water decontamination kits and air filter masks with you, and to compost all plant materials and use your compost in your sheltered Victory Greenhouses.

Keep the Faith.  Radio free State of Deseret signing off.

The Lusitania (Part One)

More than twelve hundred souls
Meet their watery grave.
German U-boat patrols
Spark a fatal shockwave.

This echo of the past
Resounds throughout history.
Rousing war unsurpassed,
Deadly shroud of mystery.

The empire aids Cunard,
Loaning millions in pounds.
Lord Inverclyde toils hard
On deceptions unsound.

They hide admiralty
Within their merchant fleet,
And in reality
War barons plot deceit.

Famed cruiser so agile
Brings home the Blue Riband.
Propellers prove fragile,
New designs would respond.

While retooling the craft,
Gun mountings are installed.
Hidden away most daft
Down where the ropes are hauled.

However they decide
To switch their new design.
Large cargo holds shall hide
Munitions in her spine.

War with Germany starts
With land mines and blockades.
America builds parts
While Britain launches raids.

The Isles become war zones
With no sure passage back.
Submarines would throw stones
To sink the Union Jack.
 
So Daniel Dow protests
This British smuggling ring.
The prior chief suggests
Attacks these loads will bring.

A German message warns:
"Huge risk at British sea!
If allied flags adorn,
They'll be hacked to debris!"

Captain Turner is picked
To lead the merchant ship.
"Speed shall avoid conflict
On this momentous trip."

Voyage two hundred-one
Departs Pier 54
Under a watchful sun,
Fresh ammo in her store.

Steaming toward Fastnet Rock,
Bowler Bill seeks advice.
Three ships are sunk in shock,
Warnings are confirmed twice.

Posting double look-outs,
They ready the lifeboats.
Bill secures a black out
While taking careful notes.

Thirty miles from Cape Clear,
The vessel enters fog.
Weather thwarts so severe
The captain slows their slog.

The periscope spots them
As orders are passed down.
One button shall condemn,
Destruction all around.

The Old Head of Kinsale
Watches the missile glide.
The bomb shreds to assail
Those weapons stowed inside.

Premium Member Limerick Crochetes: Once Angela Signed Pact With Doctor Jeckel

Limerick crochetés: Once Angela signed pact with Doctor Jeckel

Once Angela signed pact with Doctor Jeckel
Needed urgent help her kitchen all pell-mell
	In far-off torn country
	People turned refugee
By turnip-head Mephistopheles in Hell

Angela’s wise friend Faust told her to toll bell
To tell the world how much her heart bled with knell
	She’ll take in all who flee
	Bitten by bee or flea
Life-jackets galore Mephisto jumped to sell

In Mid-Land-Sea punctured floats jackets did spell
Drowned refugee yells worse than arrows Will’ Tell
	Angie slurped sea-green tea
	With Jeckel invitee
While survivors charged through blockades raising Hell

If Angela dug an underground Chunnel
From her kitchen to Mephisto-lands un-well
	Käse-Kuchen* Mummy
	Made by hands refugee
To boost her economy – Angela! Hail!

*Käse-Kuchen: German for cheese cake

Suddenly the Beauty Fades

suddenly the beauty fades
and the masquerade becomes a crimson deluge
somewhere out of nowhere, incoherence reveals her uglier side
the stone soup of badly timed revelation is pure poison
the rocks thrown at my routine dream bloodies the strength of the center and blockades the solidity of my little world
suddenly enough is a microorganism growing impatient via the knowledge within the maturation
i become a victim of your black confetti surprise party
i want you to taste the bloody black jello of my misery
however you get the flavor of my personal version of icy cold detachment
all the ladders are now worn and badly damage
all the attics are infested and offend with the stench of incompleteness and indecisiveness
suddenly my brain goes in circles in endless speeds like a defiant spinning top
i wish i could give my own brain a hassan chop
maybe then all sense within me will finally come together
however my journey will still never really have a true blue definition

Irony Wrapped In Riddle

Look at this irony. Stroke of fate
So cruel that I can’t breathe so straight!
Curfew’s cleansed city’s air,
Pollution fairly fair,
Yet, my mask blockades both fresh-air gates!
Locked in house, halfway hung,
I can’t hail city’s lungs,
COVID’s hijacked all life, love or hate.  
_______________________________________
Happenings |23.05.2021|

Poet’s note: On account of restricted movements, part curfew, curtailed traffic has improved the quality of city’s air— a blessing in disguise. Yet alas the citizens can’t enjoy this stroke of luck. What an irony!

The Soil Cry

Earth was peaceful 
In the time of remembering 
Where the pasture looks so flourish 
Childreen roam around the green-field 
And they Cheers in an urban glory 
Every where looks so beautiful in winter 
Pitter-patter falls on you in the summer 
There were zestfulness and lovely cool breezy 
Comes the jealousy and greedy 
The one that turn a blind eye 
The one that eat from the pains of others
I mean the one that satisfy the Godfathers 
A war range on the world 
Not between continent nor race 
Not even racism, a damnation on earth 
There is a lot of rubbles 
That comes from the oppressor 
As we have seen with Palestine and Burma 
As we have seen with Syria, Libya and northern Nigeria
Horrible death and some sold into slavery 
Horrendous hating and severely killings 
Blood splatter, metallurgy shard 
Holocaust and ungodly blockades 
Children famished and suffocate in a cubicle
A brimstone on the soil 
Set by the powerful oppressors 
Severely damages and 
With brokens and burnt doors 
No love again only hatred full the world 
Killing in extreme colossal in the name of devil-god 
The Earth sough, heaven looks so weary 
The soil cry inaudibly.

A Little Blue Dress

An evening on the shore
Where two people were made one
But became something more
The night of fun had begun
But there was more instore
A little blue dress had won
her smile had left mine floored
A sweet laugh that tied my tounge
Eyes that let my mind soar but
Before I could take a breath,
 my heart had plunged
deep into a sea of uncertanty
I was Wrapped up in a dream, 
Relations seemed to be something I had yet to feel in a while
A distance in between not emotions but miles
Years of built up blockades eroding at a rapid rate
Resesitating my ability to trust another mate
Her words that seemed strong as oak had me hanging on by a rope
Lured me in with a sweet false hope
So I poured my heart and her response was to choke
Pokin at the fact that Im the one who has to cope
Little did she know it was more than my heart that just broke
Now Ive lost it, trying to proccess these lies are making me naceous
Next time be more cautious my mother said, 
Its becoming a grind to deal with these losses again
And even though I feel as If I fell apart and landed flat on my face
God showed me I hit the ball out of the park and now were winning the race

Premium Member Blissful Reunion

In their celestial separation of almost two decades
My parents’ “till death do us part”* vow survived various blockades
With Mom’s “sudden” flight to heaven due to cardio-respiratory arrest
Leaving Dad in anguish, enclosing her warmly, momentarily in his breast.

By God’s grace, Dad miraculously handled his widower status
Moving on life’s journey with cheer midst times of lonesome hiatus
Believing that soon, his glorious reunion with Mom is blissful forever
Sealed around eternal love’s triumph, not anymore to waver!

Now… Dad’s departure from his mortal body is marked with wondrous serenity
He’s welcomed by the Lord, commending his fidelity…
Afterward ushered to my Mom who’s waiting in eagerness’ radiance
Sweet meeting beyond romantic elegance, blest with delight’s extravagance!
 
Looking at each other’s countenance with “missing you” intimacy
Eyes of faith radiate their longing, sufficed by their warm embrace-efficacy
Then joined by brethren-saints, they all exalt God in Hallelujah praising
As one joyous family, freed from long distance relationship, so oppressing! 
 
Beholding them together in the Creator’s everlasting paradise
I praise and thank the Lord for His design, perfectly wise…
Dad and Mom are together again in their endless unity ties
Exploring perfection’s beauty, reminding that godly love never dies!

*Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Intangible Character of Experience

Beyond all visible signs
The road to expression reaches thin
With paper maps and plastic engineered thoughts

Specializing in tourism, the cartographer's grin
Reclused to souvenirs and monopoly's pen
Sign posts grifted from lens shape
Speculating from future spreadsheets

The emblem of our unseen mystery creases
The folds of fluent distance traveler
When ideation captures miraculous weather balloons
Synchronicty shapes the tune of events frequency

Human mist covers ground level harvest
As crop circles point toward unseen dimensions
Built blockades of evidence track the echo chamber
Our ears so numb from diffuse advertising

Against the Machine

This stance, back up now against the steel,
moving the unmovable an inch,
in a change of events quite completely surreal...
Metallic shavings all over my feet
imbedding footprints into concrete as eyelash slivers to the moon-

And my calves are knotted to freeze
My expression a vehement determination
and all of the brick and blockades
are fuel for the stoking of my motivation

This breath, heaving now with the wire and tick,
creaking the behemoth,
slipping it's grip...
all of my fingerprints stinging in sweat
on a surface akin to a spear full of lightning splitting an unsuspecting silhouette thus-

And my future is about to take flight
My delicate frame like a vice confrontation
on the peak of an impasse I will to impede
with a little known strength found as self preservation.

Tourette's Majorette

Splintering away from all that matters
Burdens of trust shred my brain to tatters
Gratitude infects while I glimpse your face
Hurdles abound to perk my apathy
Until I'm stung by that buzzing wrath bee
Bold cup full of bliss I plan to displace

My feet get caught in those rungs as I climb
Nucleotides stripped of that chaste enzyme
Past disappointments can't help me prepare
Lost at the apex with toys I so vex
My conquistador binds savage Aztecs
I long to toss you ten feet in the air

Pinning the blame proves a pungent hassle
Who will fortify my Pavlov castle? 
You share unique ways of making me drool
Pernicious force bundles cellular strife
Killing diseases by twisting the knife
I scarf your smirk like a ravenous fool

Herded again toward these lonely stations
Scraping away those stagnant vibrations
Tooting my horn at your departing train
Spread on the ground like a picnic blanket
Psyche bends over so I can spank it
My legs severed from sympathetic pain

Crawling on stumps to chase down python goals
I've tripped through blockades as well as potholes
All these structures keep on breaking away
Marching bands gather as I amble by
Compelled to follow, yet they don't know why
Amoeba hungers are forcing their sway

Like Moses on pavement, I drive my quest
Bilking those theories I'd rather divest
For sanity pines feebly without you
I journey these miles in tattered textiles
While my head compiles a scheme that beguiles
Until breaking through my doom shall accrue
