Best Crawl In Poems
Can I hide in your eyes
smile in your heart
drown in your sorrows?
Can I flee in your hair
kiss your scared shoulders
crawl in your bed?
My darling, relax in me
come to my comfort
walk in my dreams.
Play with my longing
find me in darkness
bring me to light
Let us be here forever
hide here together
slowly resurface
and face day again.
Lift our heads to the sunlight
smile to the future.
Drown in my eyes
walk in my dreams.
Raise up together
in triumph resurface
And finally live
And finally live

I’m in love and I feel lost,
No one ever told me with love there comes a cost,
My world is becoming unclear as it’s being consumed by moss,
Most of myself I’ve loss.
Pardon me as I get blunt,
But only I know what I’ve experienced the past 6 months,
So go ahead, judge me, because I won’t give a f*ck.
All of this angst has built up inside of me,
Despite my requests my heart ignores my brain’s pleas,
My heart can’t take it when you just randomly leave,
And my heart can’t take when you have an episode and are so cold
and mean,
I’ve actually noticed that every month this repeats,
Yet my heart won’t accept defeat,
You see you’re what it feens,
And it never lets me forget not even in my dreams.
I never know when I should allow myself to call,
So sometimes I don’t and just crawl in a ball,
It also bothers me that I’m not the only one you call doll,
I’m scared just like the rest that you’ll let me fall,
And I really don’t want to go through a state of withdrawal,
So to prevent this I’ll always be here for you to stand tall.
From the day that I met you I knew my life would change,
I’d really appreciate it though if you stopped playing games,
My mind is no longer the same,
And myself is the only one I can put blame,
For what we both want is not the same,
I’m a lioness that wants to be tamed,
But I don’t know how much longer my heart can endure pain,
I’ve even asked assistance from the man in vain,
And myself is the only one I can blame.

Ode
While sun wakes worn down grass
And grazes gentle slopes
I sleep
While winter fights with spring
small dormant roots awake
I sleep
Below I live in lethargy
crawl in search of air
through cold
I lived in summer's smile
was fed through tubes
or roots
Grow this sprout once more
entangle frigid stems
arouse me

When All Hope And Relief Seems Gone
( Loss of Hope) (Part One)
Today my sad spirit rides long dark rails
as massive storms lash and churn great blue seas
Lost in deepest of blues, Hope's sweet hand fails
as I crash on broken and jagged trees.
Far beneath a once great and mighty perch
as Achille's fate approaches my life
I recall divine words from father's church
"seek thee, love in our dear Lord, during strife"!
I crawl in forests dark, wickedly deep
smell of evil, death and destruction burns
I cry for safety and warm place to sleep
relief from broken heart's many returns.
Where hides Light's most beautiful saving rays
Dusk comes, no help for man that falls and prays!

Sonnet
We have been riding for ever so long;
Now our search for our freedom seems to be gone.
We only took; of that which we need;
And we had no tricks; hidden there up our sleeve.
For me it began when the banker came round;
And my daddy's ranch; was burned to the ground.
We were all wanted, with a price on our heads;
And we hoped if they found us, we’d fight till we're dead.
We lived life as outlaws, with weapons at hand;
And if time comes for hanging, we'll die like a man.
But we’re not alone, there are others around;
They're not hard to notice, they’re wearing a frown.
So they're building our gallows, nail by nail;
And we think hard about it, here in this jail.
But we made our choices; and then we got caught;
Yet we lived life as free men, never owned never bought.
From the view out the window, it's people I see;
They're tipping their hats; and smiling at me.
We may be convicted, but we're not disgraced;
And you won't see a tear, running down from our face.
.
So they plan to kill us, but our kind will not end;
There's cowboy’s now out there; who'll ride once again.
Me and the boys, we ran out of time;
But there will be others that come down the line.
So To all of you worms; who crawl in the dung;
You'll never stop hearing, the songs that we've sung.
You're hoping to change us, or get rid of us all;
But if we all ride as free men, perhaps you will fall.

Cowboy Poetry
To touch the tear that falls upon your heart
Feel your silent breath to which I'm wed
To know your love, caress its crumbled part
This broken dream to darkened path you dread
So dance with me and let our bodies sway
Across the floor held between my arms
Feel the music pulse, for time that won't delay
This need to see you move with all your charms
For tomorrow I must go, I'll not complain
As war has come to pluck this tender soul
And hold my body tight as a final claim
To pay for time each day I can't control
When bombs explode and light the blackest night
I'll see your face to calm my darkest fear
In man made holes I'll crawl in trembling flight
It's there I'll hold this dance with you my dear
To you my love this dance a moment sad
To me, it is a memory's lasting cry
So dance with me as if your heart is glad
My eyes and lips will only say goodbye
Until such time in hope, I may return
Another dance with you I'll always yearn

I'm Restless and defeated
Feeling overwhelmed and cheated
My Plate about to topple
Don't you dare pop that waffle
Shut your mouth and the door
Clean the dog pee off the floor
Fit to be tied, mouth foaming
Computer died, phone roaming
Don't look at me with that cheesy grin
My patience, like ice, that's growing thin
Just finished my Alaskan shower
Thanks to you bathing for an hour
Spent my last dollar topping off my tank
Just to find, my car won't crank
Pants ripped when I bent over
Picking up a 3 leafed clover
Dog ran off, didn't think he'd go far
As luck would have it, he was hit by a car
thought we'd spend the day, saying goodbye
Would you believe, he didn't die
At the vet, running up my credit
I'll revise my budget again and re edit
Sporting a cone around his head
The doctor said he should be hand fed
It's ok, I have time to spare
Out of work due to an allergy flare
Looking like a blowfish with chicken pox
Hamster got loose at the delight of a fox
Kids called the cops for animal abuse
Handcuffed for 2 hours before they let me loose
Neighborhood kids, come knocking
I wish I could say it was the least bit shocking
Leaving doors open, letting in the flies
I hide in the bathroom and find I have spies
Little feet under the shower curtain
Bottoms spanked, hands hurtin
Crawl in the bed at 1 a.m.
Sleep for 5 hours, then do it again

Down lonesome roads of life I travel,
only resting when I grow weary,
I stumble on Memory Lanes of gravel,
when my mournful eyes grow teary,
I recall the many times I've fallen,
unable to stand up on my own,
Umpteen doubts that slowly crawl in
hinder the journey I've started alone,
It's then I see through tear-blinded eyes,
a shining Light, though somewhat bleary,
Growing brighter ev'n as I realise,
I'm walking again and no more dreary.
Grey storm clouds have all been lifted,
I see clearly, God has shown me The Way,
I've been blessed. With optimism I'm gifted,
On the Path of Righteousness, I'll not stray,
I have learned to be malleable and shrewd,
relying on prayer and what God will provide,
Life became felicitous with the right attitude,
Now, faith is my sole trustworthy guide.

The lover in me wants to love you
no matter what you do
the woman in me wants to talk it out
the avenger in me wants to make you
hurt like i am hurting right now because of you
the forgiver wants to say it's ok
the shy one in me wants to just crawl in my shell
but the whole of me wants to understand how
you can say you love me and want to spend the
rest of your life with me when you hurt me so
much and don't seem to care that you do
how do you act like i'm the problem and your the
victim here? help me understand please? why do you
push me away instead of holding me close?

On a ledge and in trace of paths to incandescent tunnels away from illusive digression.
Voices fade overhead into narrowing echo of screams amid mild depression.
I drown in the shadows to escape the mean pressure from society and peers combined.
A Judgement of guilt and inequity, that doesn’t seldom need to be redefined.
Provocative words full of rage and furry frequent as it flows meandering its way into my pale ochre imaginations.
Like the drizzle of a brusque morning serene abrupt with no opposing confrontations.
My body sway from side to side as I walk on, perhaps my heavy heart weighs me down .
Hollow with no ideas and aims to pin down failure’s momentum building up beneath my feet.
Love keeps me going as I crawl in the shadows leaving behind dreams I can never fulfill.
Out of the cave and the world opens to a pool of light so sublime invading the dark all around.
I hope my ascending calls for divine inspiration brews love for in it I believe.
For I climb the sable stairs to recuperate under burgundy solar flares where my ambitions succeed.
So give me a rope, so I can ascend a bit further to see what lies beyond the Rhine .
Guess it will be my chain of broken dreams rearranged in velvet swirls that entwine.

It's just the stars in the sky oh how I
look so high I can't wait till night fall
to crawl in bed with the weight of the day
on my head but when I look into the night
all the stars shine so bright I feel so safe
so calm so at peace when the stars and my
eyes meet sometimes I wonder do they help
me sleep do they see me when I weep I know
this is not true yet I think the stars has
something to do with the magic in the mid-
night air when I look at the stars I lay there
without a care just starring in the mid
night air when the morning comes all we see
is the sun just can't wait to night fall to
lay among the stars hoping just to see them all
before I fall fast asleep once I see them
my cares my worries began to seep as I fall
fast asleep.

As dark storms roar, on numb biting floor his fears soar,
masked monsters crawl in painful sprawl of chilling squall
in his abode, winter showed then memories flowed.
Familiar gloom creeps in the room; a hazy fume,
war mistakes, a secret shakes while his courage breaks
a struggling moth, blood red froth staining his white cloth.
An ember glow, his hopes flow striding across snow
lighting a fire, dreams desire to reach higher,
a soothing touch his fingers clutch reviving much
anxieties cease, cells release his soul in peace.

I should have listened to my nieces,
they said it would fall into pieces,
when the temperature decreases.
Then all those dirty rats and meeses,
will crawl in through the cracks and creases,
and its effectiveness then ceases.

Many times during my life my heart has been shattered,
by friends I thought loved me who betrayed that love;
with souls black and decayed and hearts empty,
why did I not see this darkness they held.
At first, my thoughts were for them to suffer like I have,
for them the shrivel and wither and know about pain;
but soon I realized that hate and revenge is wrong,
why did I not see this darkness they held.
I prayed to the Lord for help on how to let go of this hate,
and he told me to look to his son for the answer;
so I did and I was humbled and felt unworthy;
why did Jesus have to suffer so much.
For although he was betrayed and whipped and flogged,
and made to crawl in the streets falling, stumbling;
and was nailed to that cross carried and crucified,
he forgave- so why can I not do the same.
For, I believe those with black souls and empty hearts,
will never know the promise of- eternal paradise;
so, in the end all will be judged for their ways,
and I, will just be me for the Lord sees all.
