Best Debts Poems
Debts Paid
Pieced together thin slices
like a slivered moon
mosaic
cobbled snapshots of splendor and pain
Fractured glints of crashed boundaries
uncollected past dues
mingled souls’ shredded fabric
a patchwork insane
shimmered moonglow does knock on
your window each night
poke your nose through the fog
and unlock the safety chain...

Words Pay No Debts
Words fail me,
An inspiration
I owe to you,
A bad debt ?
Obligations I know
Liable to render,
Have few words,
Did I trespass ?
Poverty stricken
Have no words,
Gift me cues,
Words pay no debts !
Do they ?
They don't ever,
So I won't either
Pay back your words !

A Population Balance
Population
Seems to be a constant ratio
New born and deaths
Always keep a balance
Marriage and pregnancy
Triple the populations
New generations emerge
Wars ,disasters ,epidemics, natural causes
Double the diminishing
Deaths occur
What's a hell
Who is guilty
Man is a part of the violator
Because he starts a war
Because he persuades the virus grows
Because he's careless...

Marriage In Debts
Marriage is an engagement,
Two minds agreement,
The bed playing the middleman,
A bed,the first debt in marriage for settlement,
Ring brings a debt,
The cake baked in debt,
Dress designed in debt,
Meals in merchants books of debt,
A marriage is said in life to set,
But in fact it's settlements of debts!...

Debts And Disability
I splat the slim cigarette's ashes onto the pavement,
Little to no care of my own psychological impairment,
While living through life with no means of any repayment.

Life of Unpaid Debts
I feel as one…now
With the grass and trees
Part and parcel
Of capricious breeze
Feel the need to fall
Upon my knees
And beg…“let me linger
A little longer please”
I feel a certain sadness
Perhaps more sure
A certain madness
In my humble
And bumbling
Clumsy. Stumbling
Pleas
I feel somehow
More related
(tho’ perhaps
A bit belated)
To Mother Nature…
With her wind-song
In the trees
I feel the...

Debts To Forget
There are some debts that, no matter what,
Continually linger, never to be paid.
Even if the debtor makes numerous payments,
A balance survives, as an endless interest cascade.
Regarding this issue beyond money,
Is there a remedy that might exist?
Since there are those who may simply take...

Due Debts
At times this beat is so intense
I simply have no good defense
So must I sit and use the pain
To find the words within my brain
That hide with such success
My temper flares once more I'm free
To walk away again
The words were there an hour ago
'twas whilst I mowed the lawn
An ode about the hidden...

And To Forgive Us Our Debts
OH! Our righteous and holy Lord God Almighty!
How it is true that most of your people belonging
To you? Know the portion of Your prayer when
You instruct us to forgive us our debts as
We forgive our debtors!
Dearest Lord Jesus Christ! But first we must learn
How to forgive Ourselves! Which of course is much
Easier said...

Dramatic Monologue
Debts and Obligations
Dreams come in all shapes and sizes
As we shift in the night
Side to side, back and forth
Weaving a path
That takes us in and out of ourselves
A self struggling to get right
And make it right, always and only
With itself.
These debts and obligations
Follow us everywhere
As our baggage and shadow
Weighing us down
Keeping feet on the ground
While making...

Debts
I ran away from debts
into the bush I dashed
lion saw me and came
top of a tree I went
snake smiled at me there
fright grabbed me by the neck
I shouted for help
The one I ran away from
came running, gun in hand
he shoot lion, shot snake
and took me home
for a party
“This is a party of honor
a party...

Debts of Gratitude
Wanted to pay
debts of gratitude.
There was a call from evergreens,
he was not ready to go.
Standing in pit of snakes
he was preparing himself for a random fang,
throat like a blue-bird
waiting for a song.
The solid waste of numerals
across the thinking,
developed plaques, while philosophy
was accepting innovation.
The authority had started
reading the couplets.
Glory came earlier
sea cracked into shells.

Debts of Love
On the wrong horse we placed our bet
Feral lust was our middle name
Carrying burden of our shame
Our heart was trapped in desire’s net
Root cause, bondage to mind-body
Succumbing to thought forms shoddy
We’re filled with remorse and regret
So we’ve turned now inward our gaze
Silence sets us free from the maze
We embraced not all...

Debts
I owe so many.
And they've become overweight.
I can't carry them any longer.
Whenever I returned home
In the dead of midnight,
The debt I owe mother,
Who waited up without eating.
When I lay in drunken stupor at the wayside,
The obligation I owe the mongrel
Who licked away sweat from my flyblown face.
The due I owe the neighborhood
For not beating...
