Best Boxed Poems

Boxed Life

She sleeps with a nine
waits for his face
his distant return
too close
looming

A tragic slime
smooth stranger
smoother lover
pried into her life
obsessed
frantic
impossible to reject

she lives 
twisted
a boxed life
pulled by strings
too tight

An explosion is inevitable
the storm's coming
and she knows it
so she sleeps with a nine
and waits for his face...

Riding the rail cargo
blue sky's virgin eyes
suddenly a ride on the wild side.
Consumed like a passionate love affair
first sneaking around then a box unbarred.
There were several more boxes growing inside
tranquil the rush rolled up on the cool side.
Should I count the length of time?
Should I...

Soupers often engage in emotional ways.
There can be depth in what two might exchange.
When someone leaves our shared Soup domain,
their diminished light is a missed, valued sight.  
Some remarks feel like word-shaped embraces
and time together often leaves valued traces.
Is is not odd, just plain...

For years, perhaps a decade,
the silver box had lain within a wooden
shell, a box within a box,
a larger casket 	quieting
memories too painful to revisit;
yet, too precious to throw away.

The bedroom held much more
within four walls, another sheltering box,
another		type of tomb.

The box had sat unopened for...

I've secured my box of empty thought,    
concealed it auspiciously below,             
so I may attain what I have sought;
   
there beneath paint and attire bought;
in an impervious frigid...

“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it." Vincent Van Gogh


They tell you ‘Think outside the box’
So, ponder well, pull up your socks
Avoid the danger of clichés, 
Don’t overdress with mayonnaise
Explore what lies beyond the rules
Create your own...

fear
Don’t enclose me in 
Boxes come with four walls sealed 
 Seals me inside out!

A well fitted ‘box’ closets in
When the lid clamps shut
Capturing me in darkness!...

No Boxed Gifts

By Elton Camp

Anytime some wedding is in the offing,
Up with a gift you better be coughing
To say a gift’s expected is terribly crass
It shows the person inviting is low class

But apparently there is just no end to gall
For brides trying to get the...

TRAPPED IN A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO WAY OUT TIME STANDS STILL AS EVERYONE MOVES WITHIN ME.

ANGRY LURES ALL AROUND ME TO WHERE MY VOICE IS UNHEARD.

THERE IS NO OUTLET TO MY MISERY I AM SUFFOCATING ON THE INSIDE.

THE END OF THE TUNNEL DOESN'T...

Boxed in a schizophrenic world 
of bipolar attitude, drives 
the swing-set up and down 
sunny, rainy, switch, repeat 
lights on
lights off
tall, small, skinny, fat 
ever changing,
                   ...

Boxed Souper

"I now wish I had your eyes...it wasn't yours, it never was." By the poet.

Still...
There have been a few too many,
I take into account,
those flatteries, good and plenty,
...that spurt, I do not doubt.

Cause and effect make the river stream flow,
Upward...

Boxed determinations
Fermenting on the shelf on inaction
Restrained trails of thought
Chained to a monument of stereotypes
Boxed in a steel cage
Never to emerge
Supreme

In my prime
Boxed in concrete walls
Of fragile ego collapse
Scared of their thoughts and their words,
‘You can’t do that; you can’t say that!’
‘I know what you’re...

Boxed In

An unassuming, stone cold Ossuary !
In this place, the bones of my Soul lay .
Them - my spirit will carry
into a void, a black hole - to stay
for all of enternity -
that seems to be - fate for me
a repository
where one may find the...

I’ve sealed it in a paper box… 
Every trace I had 
I could not bear the memory 
A story ended sad!

Picture frames & baby books 
Little bits and bobs 
Any trace I found of you 
Kept hidden form my sobs.

Deeper than a mother could
Have ever...
