Best Debris Poems

Aimlessly walking across the wasteland 
of your mind,
you pick through the emotional trash 
with random intensity
	Crushed bottles of plastic thoughts;
half drank, half spilled on dozens of bridal dresses
					Crushed cans of metal demands;
hard lemonade speeches, soft wine cooler caresses
And betrothed napkins 
		blow away in the wind
Rusted...

Debris 
There was a time when I was a seaman travelled with 
a cardboard suitcase and my best shoes wrapped in newspaper.
  I always wore khaki mainly because people would think I was 
an American, back then I thought it a great country; still...

Alone on this road I can't see
And between u me
Its all blown out of proportion
And there's nothing left but Debris

I try to find my way but to where
To me it not fair cause its all just unclear

Even though we should of known
Our selfishness would cause...

All that I am, was and ever will be,
you'll find written in verses by my hand.
You may never completely understand
the depth, breadth and heart of me
unless you look beyond love's debris.

Tainted wits... blurred in 
clarity, 
a madman's coronation... our 
country's plight. 
atlas, we are home, choked in 
parity 
another to our last 51, the 
journey's so far. 
can we break the walls? 

This imagination, a shattering 
throne. 
when city's celebrate a 
thousand birth-years, 
then we...

As we grow older we understand
That some things we wanted weren’t part of God’s plan
A moment in time we’d thought would last forever
Is over, but to be forgotten, never

Time proves over and over to remain true
It allows us to see what we once never knew
How...

If only tears could talk,
They would surely be cutthroats.
If only fear could walk,
It would blindly go toward you.
And if only grudges are strong,
It would hold you forever.
 
If I would be honest about what I feel,
and follow the lead of my freewill,
I will unquestionably end up...

Captivation 
Replication 
Reinforcement 
Of the demonstration 

Lying anger 
Silent quiver 
Noisy confessions 
Of what we never 
Had the guts 
To ever accomplish 
So we sit here 
Waiting for the end of it 

Reincarnation 
Of disintegration 
Is the reflection 
Of pride in our nation....

Hurricane Debris   

Hurricane debris;
Are surely certain to see;
Wish it passed by me.

and it all runs off
like a desert wash
after the monsoon rain
debris left in dry arroyos
hazard signs to remind
remnants of the storm...

dusts hearts dreary

draped in stark pain debris
