Best Complications Poems

i remember us running
with nets in tiny hands
through fields of daisies
the old jalopy hidden within
near that old weathered barn
its faded red color
almost looked brown
in the distance

oh the innocence
and laughter of children
with butterflies
and fireflies in jars
their soft light
flickering
from bedside tables

sometimes i stop
at the edge of the...

Should we that have no lack give of our store
Of food to those who live in daily need
When they cannot deny the pressing greed
Of cravings and addictions crying, "More
For me, and you'll forget that you are poor,
And how your heart has never ceased to bleed
From...

Progress,
Improve the world,
Life became more complex,
Moving forward lost its appeal,
Step back....

Correct me if I’m wrong but is not love built on trust?
And if love is built on trust, do you trust me?
God teaches us to look past ones actions,
Yet you continue to judge.
I work so hard for a sliver of your approval,
Only to be crushed...

Early afternoon part of one plan unfolded

Amaliah asked, "You can really cook?"  Damian replied, "aaye sis I've been a bachelor with my own place for some years before I married. YEAH! I COOK! and I say I'm a mighty good...

The crowd pushed me away, but I'll stay positive through it all
Lap up my emotions, animals of sympathy, for I'm your trough 
Trying not to lose hope in violent tranquility (peaceful and chaotic circumstances)...endure through these tribulations by finding an escape route...a destination called the...

In the absence of complication 


In the absence of complication, 

trials and tribulations become distant memories. 

Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes - 

inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind. 

 

Above all the disquietude and disorder 

Peace does encompass the serenity displaced 

To demonstrate the...

It started out of curiosity
this friendship became a priority

through months of nurturing
many days of cluttering 

complications aside
we are still side by side

making lightweight of every obstacle
in our aim to grow nothing is oracle

no one believed it would work
little did they know that God's hands were...

Spiritual juggernaut
blessed in angel fire,
pushed from birth, in virtue not,
into life blood pyre.

Sinister cloud haunts her soul
while the rest come and go.
Her blood, drained of most all hope.
Too few words left to sew.

The pages are left to blank.
Life blood gone haywire.
Wordsmith on extended break
to build...

my summer love 

is up for interpretation

deeper day-dreaming

and other 

complications

my summer love

loves summer

more than me

dead

The man ate,
he spoke,
he walked,
he worked,
he slept,
he awoke,
he repeated all of the above,
day in day out,
he called it life,
and did so,
till he was unable to call it so,
others did the same,
where was the confusion,
this is life,
if life was thi simple,
what was the clamor all about,
two...

I have had sexual relations with this woman
(my soul mate) 

I plan on having much more with her- 

...hold the cigars, - and any sex toys. 

her smooth skin her smell her eyes
her beautiful mouth she is my world, 
her loving consumes me, 

I'm under...

For far too long I have read these words.
Not knowing what it meant at first.

Maybe it was just a matter of not 
speaking about what it was, 
that it was complicated.

Maybe the story was too deep,
too many details to discuss.
Or that if you did, it
would...

(a disastrous morning Sonnet)

I am the very model of a girl who’s late for morning meal,
my charger failed, the printer jammed, the morning’s start has been surreal
I lost a scrunchy and a shoe, I had to use some dry shampoo
my Keurig had no k-cups too,...

They punch a fist in the air
Anger written on their faces
Those deaths of their own..
Having ignited hidden fires

Rushing over each other arsonist...
Reason and civility is thrown away
Adopting hardwired survival mode
They rant chant and grow furious

Distancing rules of Covid forgat
I cry with them and pray morrow
We...
