Best Despises Poems

What men want
Pretty, dangerous things
Things that smell sweet
Things that bite
Things that quicken their hearts
They think that’s what they want 
Until they don’t
Until they lose what they have
Until they realize 
Realize that appetites are dangerous
Appetites devour 
Appetites destroy

What men want
Is to go home again
to be with...

Along the road called forestry, the silver ash weeps over me
as I meander 'round the dell and glade.
Pass scars of sand pits long disused, where gullies, washes speak ‘abused!’
Reclamation offers now a new facade.

Need for powers cut an ugly door. The pylon gash is just...

No matter the darkness
and blackness of night
the sun always rises
to shine forth her light

And though there are some
who won't reach the dawn
from our hearts and our minds
they'll never be gone

And forever flowing,
this thing we call life
goes churning and turning
through goodness and strife

Despite gloomy detours
that take...

How magical it is to feel such a sad emotion
I need ingredients to concoct a happiness potion
Yesterday was not promised
So today I refuse to think about tomorrow
You want something from me?
Borrow my sorrow
It's like the moon blocks the sun
Eclipsed by the cold
Like frozen water we...

When hearts are enraged 
 by storms they cannot control
 Violent actions may lead
 to murder most foul

 A heart filled with hate
 will not hesitate
 to kill those it despises
 Life it will annihilate 

 Jealousy, that green eyed monster
 Can turn brother against...

Cheating

Cheating  means you’re  telling lies,
Women, Lousy Jack, despises,                   
But hurtful to a lover, is,
Finding out, not hers, but his.

Cheating  means you’re  telling lies,
Much...

Bullies are created from homes with larger bullies
Understanding them will not stop them
Logic will not change their upbringing
Loving them is difficult, you may be rebuffed.
It is sad they grew up thinking this is the way of the world.
Exceptions are out there, but many bullies retain...

Within these abandoned stone abbey walls
An old coffin can be seen on the site—
And strange sounds from the creatures of the night
Are heard echoing through the empty halls.

The vampire keeps sleeping until night falls—
Waiting for another victim to bite.
Once there is no longer any sunlight,
He...

Behind the smile 

She has the body you desire 
Her presence an enigma 
She lights up every room she enters 
Fills it with charisma 
Her smile is perfect, like her hair 
She’s all you’d like to be 
Somebody who has it all
Is the image that...

Comin Thro the Rye
by Robert Burns
modern English translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
 
Oh, Jenny's all wet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry;
She's draggin' all her petticoats
Comin' through the rye.
 
Comin' through the rye, poor body,
Comin' through the rye.
She's draggin' all her petticoats
Comin' through the rye.
 
Should a...

Patrick Star is quite an odd ole starfish. 

Considering he’s a star, pointy, and bright pink. 

The Krabby Patty is one of his favorite dish. 

Bikini Bottom know that Patrick stink. 


Only a job at the Chum Bucket and Krusty Krab. 

Patrick loves to be...

There's a monster in my closet. 
It lurks around waiting for me 
to sleep. 
It peeks through the crack in 
the door.
It's angry and dark.
It destroys what it does not like 
and in the end it destroys me.

The monster is becoming 
impatient.
Soon the closet doors...

The stranger is strange, pariah, leper sounds offbeat,
 Neither truculent, nor relevant, all destined to encounter the doomed relic;
The bizarre outlander, alien to stimulate the instant pulse-beats!
The uninvited hobnobber, one despises to welcome in routine frolic.
The stranger is unsolicited, the object of latent fear,
As strange...

Many demands.. Unseen awaits..!...

life favors the rich
and despises the poor
but if life's for all
then why not share
