Best Coast Is Clear Poems

Pay attention
~~~~~~~~~~
Just when she thinks the coast is clear
In walks the ghost with a smile and a can of beer
“Come over here - let me tell you a story”
“Sit on my lap - you don’t have to worry”
“Do as I say and it won’t be...

dear (i am not a) victim,
i am an orphan, fear
is an endorphin
(easy release)
morph into beast
-i hate you- to
say the least-
to say the most,
i love you (are
toast) buttered up
moist & tempting-
dear victim, you are
a fling, i got (too
excited, broke a wing)
something to quench
your thirst- bubble
burst, the...

You give into peer pressure and hesitantly cut class, 
So you can smoke cancer sticks and,
Get high in the school bathroom with, 
Five other boys that are your so called friends,
A security guard smells the cigarette smoke and, 
Chases you out of the bathroom and...

Morbid gloomy night in the middle of fall,
Sitting on the window waiting on your call. 
The skies are kicking and punching; 
Throwing a tantrum against the wall. 

My heart breaks with your absence, 
But there is more to you than just your presence. 
I now...

I’m in the house, all alone
I know 100% that no-one is home
Without my clothes I crawl out of bed
Sleepy eyed and with fuzzy head
Turn off the alarm with a stretch and a yawn
Time to jump in the bath and turn pink like a prawn

I get...

She seeps through the halls
Listening for him to bawl 
Her illusions keep her awake
As her mind continues to break
No one taught her the truth
That her child died at youth
She knew of the fact 
But only made her mind blacked
She lives in Meadow Lanes
Where she stays...

Disguised
 
 
chameleon skin
 
      If my sea weed is greener,
 
        the coast is clear for your sheep's.
 
      Your lions faces are meaner,

Living way up north in the snow,
was a yeti who was quite gullible,
wanted to keep the peace with him,
so told him I was his next of kin,

I hated to make up a story like that,
but didn't want him to one day attack,
being he lived so...

The chickens had scattered ever so quickly
Squawking and clucking, fearful and swiftly.
Feathers were flying as their panic set in
A fox near their pen tries to break-in.

His dinner is noisy, his dinner is fast
The chickens are frantic feeling aghast
But the fox is sly as well as...

He went after ten to the corner cafe
Lit brazenly against the backdrop
Of the wife and the kids

Arriving at five on the shuttle
that hustled him into
this port

Spending the night
Looking for a lifeline


To  recall when he's anchored
In Cleveland
Hey,a sirens beginning to sing

Strolling away to
A rain soaked...

If home is where the heart is
  My home lies far away
Though I may live in Illinois
  Returning home's my goal some day

For now I bide my time and wait
  Until the coast is clear and bright
And on that day I'll sail...

When Cradle Fails


This is a piece of scandalous news, bound to ruffle  more than just feathers..
A breaking story such as this, human interest and sympathy are very much raised…
With a damning picture of a child lying within an inverted crib that clearly imprisoned…
The natural...

Gilt-edged first light visions greet 
zestful horde in trendy street
Luscious coffee bouncing bean
set alight a dormant scene 
Pumpkin seeds dot fresh brown toast
eager staff cool vibrant host 
Ghetto blasters rock and blare 
raucous voices split the air  
Backbeat sold on grey stone curb
manic newsstand...

Trees shed their leaves to take a bow at night,
Where silence reigns like a king without throne,
Birds perch on the cross on grave from twilight,
Eyes scary and waiting...~they are alone,
Waiting...for the next one to be brought here,
Darkness playing tunes that the coast is clear.

The coast is clear
We can march on withour fear.

Many mighties have fallen
They yielded not the warning.

The road,full of horrors
That inflict pain all raws.

We hold out as a team
Fighting mosters, as they teem.

Seeing now the glory ahead
Our hope revived, once dead....
