Best Bureau Poems


Premium Member The Bureau by Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

why do I love you when all haste say's 
that I shouldn't first there was rome 
the way the sun danced behind me 
over venice canals then there 
was Kabul the hints 
of the infamous mauve sky catering 
to my thighs I could even see how 
downtown  munich bathed beneath me 
an yet all I could envision is that day 
that way we danced at Langley 
how could our entire surroundings 
become so bleakly crafted 
above ancient tongues desire 
of youthful follies why do I love you 
let me count the ways 
when everything is said
I guess I loved you more 
when I thought you were dead 
somewhere over Arlington road 
meaningful gestures created 
with karma and military orders 
us sailing out to sea a quiet vessel 
wearing my name on the backside of forever

Boyhood Bureau -

written a long time ago

Aghast
Sans shutting the dresser fast
Lest drawing to cloths to the past.

Akin to dredging up sedimentary muck
That metaphors me whence getting stuck
During adolescence – which lasted decades 
each 'n to barreling driverless 

   heading toward 
   a garbage disposal dump peed truck
   when me entire being felt utter yuck

Holograms of former life inhabit 
 childhood each dresser drawer
Which furniture about five feet from top to floor
Encapsulates invisible fractals 
   of me and contrived lore

Iron nick lee, the latter increases 
   as sands of time increase more
Find mine gaze drawn to hash marks 
   (from Matthews’) fingers did score

Within the veneer epitomizing strife that tore
And rent psyche asunder 
   exemplifying unseen civil war

That raged within façade of placidity
Hosting mailer daemons in this yahoo – 
   nobody could see
Re:

Clawing to cleave copper handles of me
Synonymous with malevolent genie
Hell bent of wreaking havoc 

   and thus clamored to break free
From shuttered jumbled wardrobe 
   stale garments some mold e
bereft of taking a tumble 

   in washer and dryer to air
Perspiration from boyhood pores, 
   with a skinny body when bare
As would be immediately clear
By many I did fear

Whose gaze akin to a scorching glare
Exhuming a suffer 'n soul silent leer, 
   especially when viewer near
Gaze glued at tchotchkes 

   like skeletal frame, with palm sized rear
Analogous to that boudoir – over there
Where housed baggy garments,
 
   yes even under wear
Ill fitting hardly worn hand me downs 
   a haunting clasp from yesteryear!

Premium Member The Poetic License Bureau

Poetry is an art. 
The possibilities are endless... 
With everything seemingly possible 
Including style, form and space. 
Requires inspiration, little education but it helps 
Intense imagination, a vast vocabulary 
Loose interpretation, creativity 
Private investigating, entertainment value 
And massive amounts of attention and admiration. 

Please feel free 
To stop by my office 
To obtain your official license.

Facebook Bureau of Investigation

Knows where you’re at; at all times so you’re easy to find,
Without an extended hand there exploring your mind.
Cataloging everything your liking, supporting, and sharing,
Likes and dislikes insights and pimp fights.
Knowing what you’re pursuing and what you’re trying to achieve,
Your family tree is in its reach and what friends to go see.
Just by knowing the frequency of the likes and comments,
Collecting your data like we’re nature born terrorist.
Where ever you log in your placement is being noted,
Every status they run it through a series of code words.
They have your hometown and where you live now,
Any of them match a singular eye will match your footsteps.
Giving blind vision to the sheep that’s why all you see are echoes,
You know what they know but you don’t know you know all up the ego.

Premium Member Weird Creature In My Bureau Drawer

Ominous and squishy thing in bureau drawer
I know because I head his silly roar,
Which angered me, shaken to my core.
You’ll go check it, if me you do adore…

What am I supposed to do? Ignore?
Your checking was rather pathetically poor.
I only gave you one tiny bitty chore.
Why must you right now go to the store?

Maybe I will run down to the seashore.
I stick out my tongue at the closing door.
I’m right back where I started before.
The interloper makes a tiny roar.

Next I call up my new armoire’,
Love you I say. He says “Love you more!”
Hey, what else do you need from the store?
I have multiples, you see, at least four.

Our husband’s life will never be a bore.
I’m not making this up, it’s not an urban lore.
That bureau drawer is starting to ascend and soar.
Good bye, I say to that ominous roar.

Weather's Bureau

Falling stars
Drops unnoticed
Midnight sky.

Before it rains
Comes the black clouds
Over our heads.

Sun always shines
When there's no clouds
To block its rays.

Peaceful weather
Comes after gales
Seen every eyes.
