Best Dealt Out Poems

'Foggy' location seeds were from, curiosity won
Five months later, wanderer from roof tall trellis hung
Violet globe pods were bitter but oddly addictive
Several dozen daily dose, sour juice inflicted 

Soon supplied smoothie zing, purple milk vibrant
Irresistible, the youth inducing effect they provided 
A year after planting,...

I close my eyes and travel to places I want to go
Imagining the details, eyerything I can see
I listen to the noises, of birds, the wind or creaks
Animals walking through the woods
Waves crashing on the shores
I think of things I did, So many years ago,
Before...

The second time we met, I call him Bob
Just call me Robert was what he replied
We shared model plane flying with the guys
And we all had fun, that can’t be denied 

There were words of wisdom, he spoke one day
He didn’t mix words, that’s just...

Life is just a game to me,
I never stood a chance.
The rules were just suggestion,
To play me while I danced…

To dance around in circles,
Chasing what was hope.
Enough to feed allusion
Enough to keep afloat.

And when my hand was strongest,
When odds were at their best.
My cards had...

People tell me to try and be happy
and for them I try
yet how can I
What ways can I
I'm drowning in the cards
Karma dealt to me
I can't drown out the noises, the voices
the candle that burned out
from the overdose of a thousand lies
The wind can't appreciate...

One one  


A day to celebrate New Year fun  


But for the future to be right  


Need a jack to act like a knight  


Getting the picture card  


Designed satirically by the bard  


At this moment in time ...

back to all the yesterdays
back to the stack of love letters
written in night's sorrows
to all thouse lovers left behind
back to simple truth of it
back to the one true heart and the knowin
back to your beginnings

play the cards dealt
play like you love the game
even though its...

Every day’s a card game
And so there’s always hope
Each shuffle of the deck may bring
Just what we need to cope.

Though life is never easy,
People’s challenges may vary
And the cards we’re dealt may seem
Unfairly arbitrary.

There’s comfort, though, in knowing
Others grapple with their hand,
Possibly in ways which...

I have heard that you lived a successful, surreal and spectacular lifetime
I have heard that you given it your all and dealt with your cards so fine
I have heard that you are beyond intelligent than what I have become
I have heard that you are fond...

Diving into the space after midnight
The place where minds are dark and cold
In the moment of true happening 
Reality of life with our soul

Finding time to contemplate
Overpowered, a raging of distrust 
Holding on for each and every ending
Aware of our own finale of dust

Seeking a...

Everything takes a getting used to
And I’m used to not getting used to things
Almost like things to know I knew
Almost like sleeping... in control of dreams

To be the jacks of all trades
And kings of nothing in all
Rather a king to modestly rate
When jacks of everything...

I’m rather disappointed with the hand I was dealt
When I was a child the choice was a stick or the belt
I know today that these were just tools
Wisdom can come from the mouths of fools.

It seems today I’ve placed some cards down
Change has arrived without...

When the question was asked in philosophy class, 
I just grappled with the meaning of "conscience".
When I asked the girl next to me what it actually meant, 
she gave me the example: "When you for example see shoes in a shop and you want to...

If I didn't smile so much
Invisible I would have stayed
Instead, he chose me to be
A pawn in the game he played
 
If I wasn't as strong as I was
Then I wouldn't have been all alone
If my skin was more sensitive
Then the bruises would have shown

If...

I ain’t no phoney
Just full of bologna (E)
Doing the fifth step
Will keep me Kept
Doing inventory
Kinda like a story
Humbling myself
Feels like nothing else
Asking for help
So I can play the cards Dealt...
