Best Bombards Poems

a soul orbits 
looking into space
searching beyond
staring at 
an orange full
cold  moon
rising peacefully
into the sea of tranquility
floating air labored
softly gasping for breath
exploding stars
lights up
the sky

wrath of the sun's light
bombards this earth
explosive  fireworks 
pulsing inside  
emotions erupt
bursting solar colours
feelings flare beautifully
flashing the beginning...

Where will you be when the trumpet sounds

When the call comes with an 
amazing surprise
A shout is heard by all who leave 
these grounds
And all the dead and alive in Christ 
shall arise
How will you explain; none of the missing is found

While Satan bombards the...

Rain bombards the earth

Humour is sometimes used to cover up sadness
To deal with events that interfere with our gladness
Our body's defence
To protect us against
Depression when it bombards us with blackness

Living the lap of luxury all that glitter isn’t gold
Whatever ‘retail therapy’ provides is not worth the soul
Compassion mixed with a dash of guilt thinking of the ‘have not’s
But it is not enough to stop waiting at the door for the UPS drop-offs
Money, greed, power...

As Freud describes humankind
With three divisions of the mind
Motivations now defined

Id is present from our birth
Driven by pleasures of the Earth
Wants and impulse, no self-worth

Balance, reason from the Ego
Deciding pleasures to forgo
Acting master of status quo

Super Ego stands its guard
Ensuring morals are not marred
Decision making...

Yellow leaves fall
Harsh humid heat;
Earth gathers debris

~~~~~~~~~


Time runs away
Space now bereft;
A change of heart

~~~~~~~~~


Empty space
Nothing much here;
Going away present

~~~~~~~~~


Odd couple here
East meets West;
Lovely colours

~~~~~~~~~


Old lady sells
Daily newspapers;
Sidewalk news sermon

~~~~~~~~~


Humid hot day
Fiery sun bombards;
SPF29 still tans

~~~~~~~~~


Morning crystal ball
Mirror exposure;
Wrinkles and grey hair

~~~~~~~~~


Earthquake tremors
Nepalese tragedy;
So many deaths

hearing paddling away
think silence bouquet

memorize your remote

mind barge bound
serenity island found

I am armed and fighting my battle. I am bombarded
by disturbed thoughts running through my
mind. My mind is leashing out expressing itself
as an insane leader. I challenge any power 
I find along the way.

My battle is never ending. I am twisted inside
it's mouth and it's...

My elusive Valentine didn’t visit once again
Day in and day out, heart wide open, taking strain
Candles, hearts, chocolates, poetry and prose
Another year, alone, forlorn, the absence of a rose

Messages of love and admiration stream to my phone
Waiting with baited breath, I need his heart, his...

The thoughts of her tear my soul a p  a   r    t
A conceptual mortar bombards my thought plain
Could it be true?  Could I produce something real?
Something tangible, other than an abstract idea 
floating on paper or in my...

Can't get too attached. 
For when I do, it all goes
Wrong. One of us gives up, 
And it just falls apart. 
Even though my heart is needy. 
I'll have to fight it for control. 
Or else I'll make a hasty decision. 
One that'll ruin my...

2.  "over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar ... Samual Taylor Coleridge


Wailing wind amid strongest ocean storm
Night falls swiftly on tumultuous scene
Sailors aware for they have been well-warned
This is their reality not a dream.

Through long hours before sun ordains to...

Pounding voices fill the air
	Anguished cries, 	
The sound of desperation
Rings loud and clear

It starts out slow
Yet, as the walls close in
And my chains tighten
The voices cry out louder
Until the agony of it bombards all my senses
And rings throughout my whole body

The sound of the dead
The...
