Best Branded Poems

if we could write a scarlet letter
in a world where there is no shame
and place it on a hester prine
just to shame her name
could we find another letter
to represent the womans scorn
and place the letter on her breast
ever to be worn
what would make the woman...

“Branded”

The world’s smithy’s fire burns hotly
their brand is being fashioned for you to wear,
surely they know all about your “kind” you inside and out
and by affixing that brand to you they’ll swear.

Maybe you’ve come from the wrong side of town
or from parents not too smart...

Judgement day is every day when you're trying to survive in a decent way. Clean up your life and move away, to a new playground for the kids to play. It's an Oreo cookie way of life, broader than black and white. Trying to break...

I see you. 
I can bore into your soul,
making you feel smaller than ever before. 
I will be your terror! 
Chaining you to your worst fear, 
Me. 

Can you hear the drums pounding loud and hard in your ears? 
That’s the fear, making your blood...

Branded

Things didn't feel the same
When I talked to you today
it all felt just a little different
I felt you were somehow slipping away

You said all the same things
But they didn’t sound the same
I just felt something was missing
There was no spark to fuel the flame

Maybe all...

I want to break down and talk to you
Now I truly know what it means to love you
I just wish I didn't have to go through this 
to figure it out
but I know I can't make this all about you
I need to love Jehovah like...

I wish you had been more careful
With those words that you flung out
At me today
I guess you didn’t realize
That they were red hot
Though spoken in “jest”
And in a quiet voice
They were red hot
And they seared my heart
Branding me with the word
REJECTED
....Again.

I thought branding was for...

Your brand is what you see in the mirror, man
The reflection of your choices 
A facade moulded by the devil's hand
Shouldering those corrupted little voices 

You strayed from the path for a while
Because it would be fun they said
Quietly knowing you would lose your smile
While...

Wasted breath, an ounce of pain
Storming in with thunderous rage
Denial, post wrath of oblivious lies
Imbecility moments, gestures captured and tide
Only the disheartened will know…

Swing in from the depths of your mind
Nothing left to capture, heed to time
Ravaged, broken, solace no more 
We know anguish, we...

He beat me in my dreams
Which became reality..
Leaving scars burned into my heart
He branded me. Permanently.

His words cut deeper than that knife he always carries.
Stabbing thru my bones in to my soul 
Branded forever.

He tries to justify, such  behavior in many lies.
Truth comes out...

branded stars burn ban
landed jars turn cans
kick the harassment can
simon says mother may i
blow your skirt like monroe
show me your love
of
control

heart through heart
meeting the soul
lasting breath
bubbles

fish bowl

hand holds
walk with me
whistle with birds
back against red brick wall
looking into eyes
that
make you fall
lips readying
kiss kiss kiss
kissing me again

One stormy night I heard a low meow sound.                               I searched the location of it...
