Best Darlings Poems

they were
written
upon this very page
beautiful souls

so little warning
trimmed, cut, 
and killed them-
my Darlings

can't see
dead words
they've  
gone

animated 
shining 
brilliantly

MY DEAREST DARLINGS
A
Rhyming Wave
Poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dearest Darling, my true love, you!
My true love,  true love,  true love, you!
Our hearts forever will be true.
Our hearts oft beat as one.

Each day the flowers, blooming, fun.
All blooming, blooming, blooming fun.
Natures gifts, the first, our son!
Natures gifts, two more...

I met her in a bar in Trinidad,
  a mother to the sisterhood was she -
three little girls what merry fun we had
  and what sweet memories of you and me.
Madame Estrella, a tongue like a sword,
  and Miss Heidi glamour puss...

Oh, my Children; how thee I neglect!
Self-absorbed in Percocet
Mired in pain, I should like to explain-
That I am far from perfect

A better father you deserve:
Better-tempered, kinder moods
One not so consumed by nerves
And left to bitter broods

Oh, my Children, how you Sorrow
For your father, and his...

Two dazzling dainty darlings, 
Delightful flowers on a tree, 
Fancy pretence funny role-play, 
Sing alluring songs, no worry! 

Favourite choice playing house, 
Invite friends to flavoured tea, 
Decorative cups and pots as well, 
Welcoming hosts, amazing to see! 

Decked gracefully, embellished hair, 
Blushing cheeks, gorgeous...

Drowning in my raging sin,
My seven deadly darlings.
Do I urge her heart to break?
Do urge her soul to take
The wooded path, the bloody lake,
The wolf awake and snarling?
 
Drowning in my angry sin,
In envy, lust and sorrow.
She will not release his hand,
She insists that he's...

All things bright and beautiful.
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful.
The Lord God made them all.

DARLINGS

darlings you have my attention
your convention in the pines
starlings in numeration
after sunrise...after sunrise
your whirling murmuration
has my adoration
my ears incline...they incline
i open my door’s habitation
an invitation to...

As we breathed, we stood apart, 

Rocks fall, our world crumbling...
I feel trapped like a conjuring charm... 

Loving you is an existence...
Losing you is a solicitous ardent. 

A prick in my breath is our amulet,
Inlet borders our souls, my starlet... 

As we died, we stood...

Those little darlings
With their angelic eyes
Look harmless enough
But beneath their disguise

They’re nothing but thugs
With pure evil intent
These spawn of Satan
Are not heaven sent

These foul blackguards
Going about their sport
They say “Trick or treat”
As they happily extort

They squirt fake blood
On my front door
They egg my new car
I...

The neighbor brought her weirdo kids in today.
Why would she? We have nothing kid-like to do or play.
They ran right over to my Christmas tree and said look at this.
One was holding my treasured tiny doll named Little Miss.

Put that back immediately! I said in...

Jack Segal (who wrote the lyrics for the song “Scarlet Ribbons”), whose songwriting workshop I attended way back in the 80's, used to say, “sometimes we have to murder our darlings”. What he meant by this was, sometimes, as writers, we have to cut out...

In a kingdom full of darlings
I awoke and flung the sweetness;
And its eyes have all the sophistication;
You warned me about the meekness;
And the blessedness never cultivating flying fling domination;

Take thy highlight from out my heart's heat;
Ah, distinctly I was cooling with my sweet;

Trees of powder,
Delicate and firm.
They conceal my feathers of frost.
I perch myself by all that glitters
All that warms, and all that flickers.
I perch myself by candlelight
Snug in my nest of yarn.

My dearest deer is lost today.
The other starlings fly away.
Drifting off, a state of slumber
Filling...

Oh,  love each and everyone 
Love everybody my darling 
Above all love, yes love each and everyone 
Love thine enemy,  love thy mother,  father,  sister,  brother 
just love each other love deeply,  sweetly,  completely 
Why? love why only...
