Best Defiles Poems


My Torment
A fleeting still small voice tries to warn me
A sudden overwhelming desire to run
The tell tale taste of metallic flakes
Means my nightmare has begun

Everything around takes on a ghostly pallor
A landscape of anguish and corrosion
A moment of silence before the violence
The flash of light, the...

Words Are Like Weapons
Words are like weapons with bullets of lead
That pierce through your soul when angry and said.

When someone shoots his mouth off like a loose cannon,
You can’t help but get hurt as the mortar is landin’.

The thing about these wounds to the soul,
There’s no bleeding to...

Premium Member Forgive the Rose
Oh, God, spare me the bloodied, thorny, rose
call it naught by the color of its shame
promises of loves unending future
masking the silent scent of love’s demise.

Glory not the crimson of its passing
nor weep as crying petals hit the floor
hold tight to thorn stung stem -...

The Most-Wanted Height and Most-Needed Heart
THE MOST-WANTED HEIGHT & MOST-NEEDED HEART

Do women miss out on a good man
because of height & forget God's plan? 

Most definitely yes, of course,
and shamelessly so without remorse.
I feel for such women & their plight
of not setting their priorities RIGHT. 
On a norm, everyone set...

Anger's Betrayal
My vile tongue betrays me, rage defiles words.
A dragon’s flamed breath scorches far less.
From buried heartache, my ill soul’s duress 
festers in mourning, locked tight and unheard.
Skies of ash smolder and silence the birds.
Their lyrics once earnest are lies professed.
Oh, dawn vengeful dawn, my foe...

I breathe the beginning of new life in the spring
I feel the gentle gift of life giving rain
I see the newborn Fawn standing on her own
I plant the seeds of my hunger, hues of Flowers, easy on the Eyes
 
The warmth of the Summer Sun,...

The Puppet Master
Middays muse; with tinseled fingers and what is this, but a mockeries dust amid the wind....

Lost laxus, in its own schematics malignful maze everwinding unto inevitables end within

A self-fulfillings twisted prophecy spelling this enigmas day of irony, that shall be!?

Finding but a paradox in bittersweets...

Maintenance Culture
Maintenance  culture 
People and culture 
Like bee and honey 
Too much energy spent 
In portraying a culture 
Well believed as a way of life
In places

Maintenance culture 
A culture far from humanity 
Is a failed culture 
A culture that promote humanity 
Is worth an everlasting...

Opencast
They tore up the landscape
And scarred it with craters,
They tore up the landscape
And turned it all black,
Like some kind of hell
Had raised up to hate us,
The trees are all gone
And the grass won’t grow back.

They chewed up the green belt
With heavy machinery,
They chewed up the...

Premium Member Dubious
I beheld your frame in my doubting eyes
there was no way for me to 
explain this to by brain.
How could my trembling hands want to
follow the trail,and explore your definition.

If I know you are taboo.
What damage could be done in my adoration.
Not put here I...

Bare, it’s clean, does love exist?
Scraped clean, who deserves such confused?

Slaughtered for our feast?

SO WHAT’S FOR SINNER?

A man can invite a ten year old girl over for dinner
And thus would she become one of his many guests
But for certain it takes one very sick sinner
To rape a girl who doesn’t even have breasts

The creep’s sickness dwells deep in...

Mad Enterprise
Having me a real hard time—freedom
out here where a stoned god
don’t speak my language
defiles the immaculate,
and I am going mad
in search of great enterprise.

In search of great enterprise,
I seek freedom
from the mad—
a stoned god
static in a sky, immaculate.
I listen for cosmic language.

I listen for cosmic...

Words of Advice
Absurd as it may sound
Appreciate life as it is found
Admirable thought and profound.

Cat on the wall
Caught in its caterwaul
Costly mistake of wrong choice

Emits a purr and a mew
Engineer  scraps design for new
Excellent cast of the dies.

Golden blessings from above
Generous dolings of love
Genial nature without...
