Best Dead Set(P) Poems

They organized a church bazaar,
To raise money for the poor.
A booth for selling chances
Was set up, outside the door.

When I bought the raffle ticket, 
My reasoning was murky,
And I could only just believe it,
When I won that doggone turkey.

Now, the kids were all excited
When we...

To me, you are purely ephemeral;
We are irrelevantly real.
And I am left with no one but myself,
With this hollowness I feel.

And still, I am hardly here,
Just a mass of scattered free radicals.
A steady-state cascade;
A time-killing fanatical.

I laugh because it is absurd,
And carry on without a...

Whenever I said green light, you said red
Light, fighting back with a smile on your face;
Racing hearts chased each other to keep pace
With the words that had already been said.
Through all of the formalities, I sped,
Dead set on letting my hand reach that space
Between left...

Feet clamber the heights
Each pair of varied cadence
Eyes are on another’s feet.
Scaling the stairway
I focus on every step
Dead set on my arrival.

At the pinnacle
An old man sits on a throne –
He saw me and heaved his last.
Standing at the top
I feel old and the world...

I write about my ex a lot,
we didn't talk much, but our tongues touched,
we used to have sex a lot and 
it was so hot that it set my soul ablaze, 
and no, it wasn't my first time, but damn,
he sparked something in me, I...

Late night, suffering through another moody late night
the topic on my mind tonight, irrelevant but appropriate
originating in the contents of a song because of this Yellowcard
I'm feeling another sure thing falling and as those lyrics graced my ears
burying the cryptic meaning I once thought into...

So much noise, 
Yellow noise, 
And everyone tries to 
Be louder than everyone else 
Because we're too afraid to 
Stand in the shadow of silence 
Since each one of us is dead set 
On being bright enough 
To rally some part of the universe
To revolve...

1967.
A pink '59 Cadillac.
With gorgeous chrome-laden tail fins.
Yes, I said 
Pink.
The two squirrels sitting 
inside were trying to use it
As a girl magnet.
The owner was 15.
Not licensed yet.
My third or fourth cousin was driving it.
Wearing a brownish-black chauffeur cap.
They were giggling like loons,
and the inside...

Such remorse,
Of course,
He thought
   The words just came out flowing;
No sight
Beyond tonight,
He fought -
   Without him even knowing.
Regret -
He was dead set
Against
   Defending what they’re showing.
Revenge
A bitter end,
He taught
   To mouth’s he thought were crowing....

Triumphant milestones rocked and rolled thru this (viz – modern) age  
     began in the dawn of *****Sapiens early evolutionary light
     when those prime ape proto simians trod the virgin land

Virtual trophies (wife for I)... 

offered, husbanded, and collected 
when winning solitaire
Nothing beats that exaltant rush of adrenaline
watching the computer generated cards
automatically routed 
to their respective suite (spot)
(after they get turned face value up)
generates countenance to evince a grin.

This heart felt diamond in the rough
gamboling...

It is cold and I am here alone, or am I 
I fought for their freedom, I am not a bad guy
Not wanting this life and never thought it would be me
Most are here by circumstance not a choice they would agree
Never feared fighting for...

Think I need a husband
to hold my fragile hand.
Now I need a husband
to open up a can.

I could use a husband
to put the garbage out.
Would never want my husband
to scream nor cuss or shout.

Feel I need a husband
for I want some pocket money,
See my future...

A Wolfish Moon Shines

Beneath shining wolfish moon's silhouette
light cascading down upon our sweet earth.
Halloween spiders with their webs dead set
new victims racing for all they are worth.

Curse you, curse you forgiving and patient heart
you would receive a thousand papercuts 
before admitting a person's fault
I don't know why
Why are you so dead-set on letting me embrace, witness
the brutally honest elegantness dwelling inside...her, Anastasia
Why do you keep her tangled within
intermingling hues of my...
