Best Cups Poems


Cups -Personification-
They like to be held
when the weather gets cold,
they could be worn down to nothing
don't mind growing too old.

They enjoy having a cold drink
even a warm one would do,
enjoy being kissed softly
when they're feeling blue.

They won't cry a single tear
so long as you're there with...

at peace but alone
a feeling wholeness lingers
pondering the space
where once there was tea for two
now there is but one cold cup...

Cups of Balmy Time
In the dark I stood hand in hand with you
At the laughing polychromatic field 
Of illusory time with wings of blue
Expectant to have your  crimson wounds healed


It was I who spoilt the mathematics
Enthralled by a pair of jingling pink feet
Rendering my sensors problematic
Choosing the hilly...

Premium Member Empty Cups
I need to be held
It's a deep yearning 
For pain to be taken away
"Just tell me it's ok" a silent prayer

I know it's ok
But not that I'm ok
Other than I'm accepted
Praised even - validated

But there's the me bit of me
Just flailing around
Needing comforting arms
To take...

Premium Member The Entertainer, a Game of Cups
Scripted television nanny

All the Lions roared their approval
dancing puppets

Stars shown twinkling delight
mask global death

My favorite football team
diverts my attention

Smiling ringmasters bow to each other
chosen talent cheered like god
(even call themselves jesus)

While blinded by the sun (tv)
the world devil cult
plays us like a game of cups

Cows,...

Amongst the Dregs of My Cups
I do not, amongst the dregs of my cups,
Consider you worthy to be the theme 
For my untutored scribblings.
There, Madame, there: I put you 
In your place, amongst the detritus 
Of my life, the forgotten effigies of life, 
As she should be lived.
Yet, you do...

Hic Cups
I write much hic cup ado
About nothing, which involuntary explosive release 
   comes clear out of the hic cup blue
nary a sponge bob square pants handy dandy bellows clue
where in tarnation this uncontrollable bout 
   jarring the body electric hic cup...

Premium Member Four Cups of Wine
Four cups of wine
    Fruit of the vine
  Sounds like a mighty fine time

  Truth be told, it's drunk late at night
    with kids up and cranky
  It's not my idea of a delight

~ A Passover Tale ~

Four cups of wine
  They say I must drink
I’m getting too old for this
  Don't you think...

But I psyched myself up
  and drank the first cup
The room didn’t spin
  I thought I might win…

Then came a second...

Cups and Saucers
Cups and saucers are couples,
Around,
Always together,
Hugging each other,
In a painful pleasure touch,
If one dies other lives a short,hidden,
Some active,
Some inactive,
Some sometimes alone,
The couple a model to make!...

In Cups
In  cup
Is what you drink
From cup
In seed
 What you harvest
From seed
In silent
Of your thoughts
Your words
Are Born  indeed
And words yours
Bear your deed
And fate
Is what in your heart
Your Mug indeed
Born in deep
As  nation who lead
 Drops
 Of what in her cups
 of deep
Watch in...

When Our Cup Does Not Run Over
Sin is a revelation. It is God who shows us OUR sin. He also points to the BLOOD OF JESUS as the antidote. Sin is only seen to be SIN -  against God - when He reveals it. Otherwise WE just talk of it...
