Best Circumvents Poems

, 
riddles N' rainbows paintbrush the day
summer's heaviness invades
rain circumvents geraniums 
ant's N' azaleas dance through sidewalks 
where tiny green grass creep 'neath weeds 
to see sun seed grey with bright 
frogs N' grasshoppers flop along
best friends 
when storm clouds bend beyond old oak trees

Diogenes sought an honest man,
appalled by Man's path to destruction.
And searched Athens by lantern at night,
casting light on lies and corruption.

He concluded his search was fruitless;
integrity could be sold and bought.
And Man's willingness to sell His soul;
proved an honest man was vainly sought.

When the hungry...

The meteoroid 
Circumvents the void
'Til captured by the atmosphere
It then plummets toward the Earth
With glowing core
As a meteor
But after a dazzling fiery flight
On impact
is a meteorite...

Hope fuels the desire that burns
within your longing heart and soul.
And yet loneliness soon returns,
levying a heartbreaking toll.

When passion's flame gets doused by tears,
anxiety leaves you nauseous.
And as doubt manifests as fears,
lust circumvents being cautious.

Happiness morphs into teardrops
within a world where wishes die.
For the lying,...

Why don't you ever want to try;
try to help me understand why.
Dying dreams cause constant crying;
crying, for my dreams are dying.
You swore to me your love was true;
true; is all that I ask of you.

Youth circumvents unbending truth;
truth is more flexible to youth.
Love cannot be...

first version:

raw sparks of anger
loss of self-control
my fuse is lit
one thing circumvents my rage 
our son's eyes, all over me

version two:

raw sparks of anger
loss of self-control
my fuse is lit.
no fireworks tonight
our son's eyes, all over me

Time has led endless actors
to the center of life's stage.
And yet, balance was maintained;
before Man's disruptive age.

A growing population
showed no consideration.
And yesterday's callousness
spawned today's situation.

Idolized insanity
is the legacy of fools.
Yet, greed disguised as progress
often circumvents the rules.

Sowing seeds of apathy;
we warp the minds of our...

A fellow stranger's doubt will surely sense  
Judgmental indiscretion of defect.  
'Tween enemies pure hatred circumvents  
The moral obligation to respect.  
 
The various consistencies as friend,  
Distill from swollen hearts this lonely ache,  
With passion starts yet may...

That timetables rapt familiarized discern
resolves transmitting rumors, my befriend
dysfunctions with misgivings, halting's bend
and circumvents a standstill toward no end!

While oppositions furthering's belief
beginning's placate, anchoring's achieve
and dormancy becomes a truth's bereave,
life's reconciling justice to perceive!

All told, involuntary atmospheric sieve,
the matters decimating planning's blind
are flushed away, as...

Palm reader I am not—
Yet if I did
Read hands imprinted,
Trace readable lines,
Tectonics
Of grip and release,
My own would be
A most alien surface—

This I have good sensed,
Reflected at the mirror
In honest light,
A countenance of surprise
To contrast my often image
Self so pervasive
A maestro of infinite deceptive batons—

What insidious...

The night so long with dreaded suspense
and pain the darkness augments.
Morning circumvents
the silence.
Grope!

Dawn's mist of dew inspires common sense
dread retreats in self-defense.
Morning circumvents
the silence.
Cope!

Birdsong echoes my triumph intense,
stirring light and breeze commence.
Morning circumvents
the silence. 
Hope!...

DEAD WAIT

You brave enough child

You brave enough man

Just because you will it

Just because you can

To pierce the everchanging rock

To crack the patterned egg

To peer into the center

To witness then to beg

Yes, he left your mother

Said he disappeared

Said I stole him from her

Decidedly, flipped fear

Then drip...

That timetable of rapt familiarity's discern
resolves transmitting rumors, my befriend
dysfunctions with misfitting, halting's bend
and circumvents a standstill, toward no end!

While opposite in furthering's belief
beginning's placate, anchoring's achieve
that dormancy becomes a truth's bereave ~
life's reconciling justice to perceive!

All told, involuntary atmospheric sieve
the matters decimating plannings blind

Caught up in this circle sphere of integration; I swoon 
as the feeling of worthlessness overwhelms me. 
Nothing seems to remedy as this depression lulls me 
into its claws of wretchedness.
 Sweet and salty smiles that slink into your mind 
seems to melt the drowning...
