Best Breaking Off Poems


Desperate (Tritina)
I wish I knew how, had ability to turn
away from you and not look back to see if it
affected you, my turning away, walking off.

I want you to miss this, and I fail to pass off
the distance as a gravely unfortunate turn
of events, see truth...

Such a romantic place on a beach in Monte Carlo 
Simple little things in life catching one's breath 

Moonlight glinting of waves breaking off a white sandy beach 
Faraway thoughts brown eyes crying in an ocean dream song 

Spell of romance makes one forget the...

Walking With Jesus
WALKING WITH JESUS

You kiss the sky with blue
and beard it with
Your soft white clouds,
breaking off in different directions
that come and go like dreams.
Your eyes see everywhere;
they light the throne room
to Your universe.
They are a dazzling reminder
of where Heaven is.
Let me walk with You
beyond Your mountaintops.
There...

Turn Back the Clock
Turn Back The Clock

Six months have now passed since I learned of your death
Still grapple with the reality that you no longer draw breath

Taking your own life left me feeling bewildered and shocked
If I could make a Genie's wish this is one reality I like...

The Escape
I live everyday in a prison cell - trapped
I rattle the bars, but no one can hear
How long can I stay - here?
My thoughts never leaving my mind
Like messages intercepted by strict guards
They're left behind to rot.
I've found that when I speak
My voice squeaks -...

A Strange Wedding Cake
Indeed, a strange wedding cake!
This is real strange, I must say. 
You must absolutely hear this, I pray.
Almond marzipan, on stands masked with black chocolate;
Candy laces and ribbons made its beautiful garbs.
I ponder; why in God’s name, eat all these carbs!
Seriously, are these black Fondant...

Premium Member Shush Did You Hear That
Tom, Dick and Harry all walked in a line
as they wove through the jungle's tall trees,
The sounds from above sent shivers down their spines
but they all felt safe walking in threes.
'Shush...did you hear that?' whispered Tom from the back,
'something snapped in that undergrowth thick',
'Just a...

Visions
Visions


The trail failed into a single wavy vision,
Sideswiped by jingles racing faster than us.
Shortly ahead were cut-out caves.
We rested.
Closed our red puffed eyes.
Dreamed of what might be real.
Scintilating. glistening silver-toned baubles.
In our hands, bunches of orange daisies--
Wilted, dried and breaking off petals onto ivory toned...

The Trees Are Calm
When of the world of doctors,I am sick.
When diagnosis is not any aid
When from the choices given, I cannot pick
Although I feel my deepest debts were paid.

Then off from thinking I must take my mind
To gaze upon the beauty of the woods
And feel the sun...

Siren's Song
Shhhhhhhhhhhh…… Husssshhhhhh
Waves sidle up to the beach 
in simple companionship
the gritty sand 
creeps into every crevice of my toes 
reflecting off the blue waters 
the full moon and stars 
fill up what otherwise
would be a hole,
miles and miles of darkness
what a miracle 
I think smiling...

Premium Member Beach of Despair
The darkness of the night and the depths inside
Is clipped by the glare of the soulless dim moon
Slicing through the water, breaking off the tide
A black crow belts his caw making one to swoon
There’s a straw house, quite decrepit and lonely
No light strays inside this...

The Tale of Juliet
Friends forever...what we pledged...
a pinkie promise combined with a tied knot
to say we'd never part...
Lovers for a few months...asked for her hand in marriage
well was said, never an attempt
but mutually she agreed, said yes with tearful, happy eyes
To my demise, an argument came and surprised
surprise,...

Keeping My Blinders On
4:33  PM  29 Nov 2014

Walking through the night with my blinders on
Haunted by the memories of an old country song

The chains of the past finally wearing thin and breaking off
The dawn ahead in my tunnel vision warm and soft

Invites me to the future...
