Best Cloyed Poems


Before the Rain Is Gone
She kept it all inside her
and never spoke a word,
though her thoughts flew and darted
like a trapped and frantic bird.

Inside her was a garden
that was hung with Spanish moss,
like the massive oaks were weeping
to remind her of her loss..

The spider wove at breakneck speed,
a perfect...

Premium Member Fantasy of You
A smile is cast upon your sultry face
as lover's glance makes way for love emblazed.
With timid touch your breast my fingers trace
in search of love's familiar urge unfazed.

Your skin like silk pressed warm against my chest
entices feelings longed for in my bed
then with a kiss...

Ode On the Clan's Iroko Tree
(for: them who are ever there!)

these branches and roots
that cord to the grave ancients
should be free from man’s swords!
both oracle and priest held for days …

I 
Your voice speaks in the silence of the night
To the deep still shady earth
That once held a great zest...

Endless Cruel Laughter
Sgt. Bedlam of heavy artillery reporting sir
Bedlam I want you to pick the runt of the litter
and turn him into an agent assassin 
with the clandestine power of hypnotism
yes Generalissimo I am here to obey
decked out like a burlesque revue warlord
his Mauser cigar lighter on...

Premium Member Lobster Rhyme
Under the depths below the deep 
of this Atlantic Ocean
live the lobsters that crawl and creep
with an articulated motion.

On the ocean that smells so fresh
the boatmen cast their nets
for lobsters' tender, tasty flesh
which they'll sell to pay their debts.

With a great catch this new season
the...

Tigress
The beauty from outside the beast from within
How careless was nature to commit such a sin
Not to equally on your parts grant its grace
Sparing the heart and saving it all for the face
The face of a princess the heart of a tigress
You’re cloyed with beauty...

Sweet-Toothed, Treat Seduced
Most sweets their nectar pollen pollinates,
Preserving life before their sap gets sapped;
Yet amber's sweetest resin resonates,
Ambrosia's essence from death's lap gets lapped.
But you, my sweet, are most untimely soured,
Indulgent hungers feed with greedy gluts
On dulcet fares, you're from your prime devoured,
Consumed unsweetly through most seedy...

On a Golden Finch
Oh, faery finch, whose golden form does climb
    Athwart the starry bays of poesies, sweet,
I hear your voice, and drown in slumber’s clime,
    As I sit, pond’ring in my woolen seat.
My quill spills no sweet word or sweeter song,

Avoid What Makes Others Annoyed
Try to often and readily avoid
What makes others annoyed:
During prayer pressing android,
Invading others’ spaces, yours void,
Another appetite getting cloyed;
A plane stopping from being buoyed.

Try to singularly avoid
A killer knee on the neck of Floyd
Leaving A Triangle to draw A Cuboid
A Circle skipping for A Trapezoid
A...

Lorna
Love latent in us unladled cloyed our heart with pain
Orgasmic thoughts that seed our efforts vain
Residues of things that will not walk away
Nested in the memories few, the longing lips to say
Always in innocense, yet love yearns still for you....

Condemned
Ever more alone than this
No creature life to tease my eyes
Mornings roach long gone to freedom
Hands ice cold on cell block bed-rim

Ever more alone than this
Invasive sound intense in meaning
Stark distanced clang of high tensile steel
Bitter requiem, my poor mans bell chime

Ever more alone than...

Myrtle
It was at our gate
A tree the bloomed white rose
And bore velvet leaf
That type of thing that makes a child believe in fate
I mean the sweet scented kind
Like a woman's skin covered in oil
One day I stood there again
Long after my father fell asleep
Leaving me...

The Final Breath
Staring the sky , whispering towards the star,
full moon rise upon the winter sky.
"Talk spirit talk grant the hopeless person a wish,
reflect upon the sky and teach how to preach".

Lying with one breath left on the bed,
tears stream running as the memory flash back.
One last...

Premium Member Mistaken For Laughter
Covered by the dark demise of runaway laughter,
I find myself lost in a chaotic chapter.
How cloyed it is to be consumed by rage,
As emotions swirl and violently engage.

Most savage-such than our gentle origins,
Anger grips me tight, its grip tightens.
I crave solace, for a moment of...
