Best Come Out Poems
She went into the closet one day
But what a high price she did pay
Her hubby he wanted a cuddle
But this act soon burst their bubble
The door of the closet shut fast
His ardour was a thing of the past
Their claustrophobia was getting worse
So Andrea checked in her old purse
She found an old credit card
Joe picked the lock, which was hard
After 20 minutes they were free
The relief on their face plain to see
Take heed - next time you are after a ‘screw’
Make sure the door doesn’t close on you!

With Peace of Mind just in my grasp,
I fall from Cliffs of Catastrophe
Before I wake, subconscious lapse-
Snapping me back to "Reality"
From which I run, I flee- evade,
I must escape at any cost!
To elude the Pain and Problems made
Which wear me thin and leave me lost...
Now in the shadows a figure hides
Unmerciful rain collapses on my rooftops
The mind struggles to recollect lost senses
You take me on a victorious voyage to the Island of Paradise
Riding the waves of my intuition, I call for it
“Bring us the light at the end of the tunnel,”
I holler in the shade with Niagara Falls of hope
I hear you call to me gently in the dead of night
Why hide in the dust in the shame of frivolous defeat?
We graze in fields of forever gracious flowers as we lock hands
Don’t you worry—my patience is instilled in the dark
You elevate me higher than the clouds drifting wistfully
I trace your outline as my eyes acquaint with mystery
We have a slippery escape—a ride on a dolphin’s back
Staring…filled by the watery cadence
We sing merrily as we approach the trail of vitality
Trampled that you cannot accept my trust
The waves of the ocean bubbles us up with rare grace
I trace a detailed picture of you in the air
We ran faster than the breeze, rapidly brewing
I sketch in your panic eyes, furrowed gaze—and sigh
Give us words of wisdom to uplift our troubled souls
Not a cringe of movement, yet still I wait to create
We have to leap into the ring of fire—but how?
Imagination brought us together—now shadow, come out!
Let us be brave like the lion in the prairie…send us strength

Come out of the darkness it's not a
Nice place.
Come out of the darkness and let
The sunshine hit your face.
Come out of the darkness it's not
The place to be
Come out of the darkness
And let the sunshine set you free
Come out of the darkness don't
Hide yourself away
Come out of the darkness and let
The sunshine make it day.
mystical dewdrop
glittering rain summer’s eve
glistens the forest
bringing the faeries full force
out of the elves lair to play
Come out and play, you creatures of the night.
Outside into the woods I want to go
and see a white tailed deer, a sheer delight
to catch sight of a doe in moon’s soft glow.
I want to glimpse a badger or raccoon.
Come out and play, you creatures of the night
while in the background, crickets chirp their tune,
and lightning bugs flash signals small and bright.
To spy a wolf, I’d feel a bit of fright,
especially if it were to start to howl!
Come out and play, you creatures of the night.
But not you wolves! I’d rather spot an owl!
Oh, yes, an owl would please me to no end -
one wide awake like me and snowy white!
Perhaps I’d make of him my new best friend.
Come out and play, you creatures of the night.

One cannot make an honest lawyer
Merely by an act of legislature
Work on his conscience
His lack of conscience
Is what makes him a lawyer.
And God said let there be Satan
So any blame not my concern
Satan said let be lawyers
So I have my own pleasures
To defend, lawyers are proper men.

When stars come out to play at night
and up above the moon is bright,
the darkness cloaks the light of day
as shadows in the darkness sway
like silhouettes in pale moon light.
The hearts of lovers soon excite
as passions tempted with delight;
they come together quite risqué
when stars come out to play.
And as they hold each other tight
the flames of fervor will ignite
desires from deep within that prey
and light the night with their soiree,
and then the dance of love takes flight
when stars come out to play.

Things never come out the way you planned, or the way you envisioned, but they do always come out perfect. Because God designed our lives. And his design always comes out they way He planned. We get inpatient, upset, we pick a fight with Him at time, and we try to make what we think is best happen. But instead of God returning the same behavior to us that we give Him, He continues to work His design. He continues to give us our perfect life. So if we just trust, be faithful and enjoy the perfect life we seem to not notice things are better. Life is better. The little things that don't come out the way we want don't bother us as much. Live the perfect life.

You don't see me
You see her silhouetted by the vapor
My hands all over
She's an introverted now and later
You can build a wall
Before you fall
But I'd give up
When the wall will fall
I'll be waiting here
Plein de plaisir
In your snatch fits pleasure
Broom-shaped pleasure, even better
Like politicians
Spilling oil on the wonderland
The sun will fall
The moon will rise, the freaks come out at night
Native tongues and foreign lands
Leave me handcuffed to the night stand
You can build a wall
Before you fall
But I'd give up
When the wall will fall
I'll be waiting here
Plein de plaisir
Cigars left aside
Muddied floors
The rain isn't stopping
The thunder roars
A creaking door
The windows are open
Shadows rise
Then glasses were broken
Hello there
Would you come out and play
As the children stare
Ready to slay
You run and run
The fun has just begun
The moment you'll hold still
You'd feel a chill
The moment you turn back
The moment you'll die
Tripping, a branch of a tree
Children's faces with glee
You shout and cry
Asking the reason why
As you wake up from this bad dream
You'd realize you're in bed
You'd just hurt your head
Drink a pill
Think slowly
Think still
Someone might enter
Yes a child will
Asking you
Would you come out and play?

Some cat entered my room one night
I thought it was a ghost
It smelled like something had just died
But I must oblige my guest as the host
I turned on the light and there it was
An obnoxious opossum at best!
Whoa! Forget my host duties, cous!
Take the room—I’m an unhappy guest!
I left the house with a shutter
Before I realized I was heavily surrounded
By cats on all sides, up and under
The house they had all just rounded!
In truth I was perturbed on all levels
That I began to realize in horror
That damn opossum had spawned these little devils!
And tonight I must end this terror!
I then ran straight to the kitchen
Aware of the opossum inside
If I give up the tuna and ditch um’
Perhaps I’ll escape this night alive
The persistent cats scratched at the holes
Those buggers—those meddlers!
They could have been thieves—if not trolls!
Their yowls would scare sumo wrestlers!
Worst of all in this dilemma
Tomorrow was grocery day
There were no more cans of tuna
All my fish had swam away!
Somehow one got in
And the rest came barreling through
I ran toward my room to him
The opossum looked so distressed and blue
The little beady eyes pierced my soul
And I knew from then on he was my friend
He only meant to hide from the furry little trolls
And escape a most pitiful end!
I made up my mind at last
And picked up my trusty broom
Come on in—I dare yah tah pass!
Ain’t no feline coming through this room!
Glowing eyes burned with intent
And the yowling grew loud as hell
The little bullies think they can take my guest!
They’ll fly like birds they will!
That night was a battle like none other
A battle I will proudly say I won
I gained the friend of my life—a brother
My pet’s a load of fun!
As much as I love a neighbor cat
They are a little scary as a race
Thankfully a broom will push them back
And put them in their place
My opossum is a sweet little thing
And I protect him with my life
I’ll never judge a critter again
Till actions bring it to light
Girls and boys come out to play
Put those computer games away
Join with your mates and play in the park
Leave those games at home until it’s dark
Daylight will stop you from feeling blue
A breath of fresh air is good for you
Leap out of your chair and get out in the sun
Get outdoors and have some fun!

Someone can advise you
To be friend of big rich people
To be also rich in the future.
I am telling you to be best friend
Of majority poor as
They need your aid
to destroy the system which enrich
Few people and
kill millions of poor people.
Poors of the world always fight each others
For the interests of the minority big rich people.
Who captured
the World
Do yourself investigations to find
out the main problems of this World.
I look out my window and what do I see
All kinds of birds sitting in a tree
They squawk and they chirp
Come out, come out, come out and play
You are missing such a beautiful day
Longing fills my heart so
Thinking and wishing that I could go
Fly through the air with not a care
Be a bird with them out there
But alas this is not to be
I can not fly like the birds in the trees
So I sit and I watch the birds at play
Dreaming that someday I just may
Go dancing in the wind, twirling in a spin
Soaring here and there going everywhere
The birds will laugh and chuckle
To see this wonderers sight
A human who can fly just like a kite
I answered their plea to come out to play
We all had such a wonderful day
