Best Crux Poems

Appearance far down the road…
Voices singing by my ear…
The world passing by my eyes…
Nature sings at the sentiment…

Frozen tears withhold implicit words…
The four walls a witness of melancholy…
Deep within the crux an angel dwells…
Causing much pain internally…

Deep within the green colors…
I see passion bleeding with...

The poet in me takes for a ride, through 
eccentric magnetic moods of magic 
No matter, whatever phase his life threw; 
he gives his reasoning or his logic 
I'm sure he wants to explore much of me
capture every emotion I carry 
all along the transition...

Tear 
           into me,
mold with your scratches;
Carve away all the excess;
           Sculpt,
reshape the left over bits;
Take heed with matches;
    My crux chokes...

There was no knowing
the truth of the matter, 
what was, what would be, 
and there is no knowing now.
The small town lights
shone in the cold, dry night,
some may have illuminated
lonely strangers and rats
or quiet lovers parting, 
or strangeness in the night,
and we’d never know,
but somehow...

The ankh is more than a symbol or cross
It’s a sign of both physical and eternal life
Relocated from the land and death and dross
Men are believed to be living an afterlife

The hieroglyph stands for zeal and strength
To those swimming in sorrow and distress
It could be...

Aww shucks
Still at the crux
In a state of flux
With reality still out of touch
I've been puzzled much
So I smoke a couple blunts
That's a double dutch
From dawn to dusk
I turned myself into a husk
Just so I could seek another rush
The door opens then shuts
Hinges rust
Nearby accumulated...

Eight billion miles away,
the asteroid grows colder
as the one inhabitant
who has no god, falls to his knees
and blows upon the spark of light
he sees from one retreating,
distant star.

Learn to rise above
Irritation, fury, rage, 
Anger’s wagging tongue—

The crux of the matter, I'm handsome and slim
A fact of evolution, my smooth velvety skin
Gratefully unsurpassed
For this amazing bod I have
But I still have this loving feeling though it's slim...

Is there anything you root for in our garden now? 
Must I cultivate it to make it grow? 
Can't seed so many plots, I know.

Is there anything you savour in our melting pot now? 
Seasons changed, and our flavours compound, 
True essence to distil.

Blinded by...

In the essence there is acceptance
Unconditional to a point of escape
The exit to life in a rapture of mystery
In here love knows no bounds

I want to be the light when you are surrounded by darkness
I want to bring you shadow when the light is too...

Fact, real, and yes, al/l - so true,
can it turn, be like, misconstrue,
maybe like this, one, three, two,
be some topic of points of view,
a dream or goal still comes true,
affair's subjective of who's who....

Life is based on just one crux.
It is trust, trust and just trust.
So easy to defile.
For it is most fragile.
Trust gives me passion to strive.
The power that will make me thrive.
For those, who don’t understand.
There’s no second chance, they are completely banned.
Yeah! To get it...
