Best Downward Poems

The spiral staircase made her high heels sing
A sound that had an old farmilar ring
That echoed through the chambers of her mind
Growing louder with every stair she climbed.

She'd climberd these stairs a thousand times before
And knocked upon that old forbidden door
Convinced each time she'd never...

She sees herself suddenly as a small girl
bare feet on the cold black and white tile
little toes curled
sees the white porcelain tub and
how pretty the light blue water was
so deep it almost came to her chin
as she climbed in

For hours she'd play with her dime...

"The Warm Downward Spiral"



"You’re a warm spoon
I’m hot honey."
he says, 
"I know you are"
Ah, the warm welcome
downward spiral
The beautiful madness
takes hold
here in my room
with my 
Incubus
love is a verb
spooning hot 
honey
over
Blind Man 
who now turns
he’s not running

Writes his story 
on my pages
with his hands

Merry Christmas, oops Season’s Greetings I can say,
Is there any sanity left in this world of darkness and pain,
Where’s the peace joy happiness and sound of blissful play,
Explain to me how with “political correctness” we stand to gain?

O Christmas tree, there I go again it’s...

depression reduces me down to my knees,
cant seem to see the woods for the trees.
Allways on edge with a sence of tension,
paranoid thaughts to vast to mention.

Inside my head my mind runs riot,
allthough i percive a charictor of quiet,
forever picking faults with ones self,
a deteriation...

He’ s not the one for me

I realized today



He makes me smile…

He makes me laugh

He gives me songs.

Though it is crap

He erases the pain.

When I am down

He strums his guitar.

He sings a tune

He gives compliments.

And he means it every time



He seems too good

He seems so...

I was falling from the edge of heaven.
In my downward spiral I saw others in the same free fall.
We reached out to one another,
but your loved ones caught you and ripped you from my grasp.
I wasn't trying to take you with me.
I just wanted you...

The downward spiral

On the edge.
Leaning towards the deep end
The dark waters with their mystery
Seem to beckon you and your misery
Talking like its cold embrace will warm you
It is asking for your life and to guide you.
Leaning forward into the abyss
The wind past your ears seem...

On the edge,
Leaning towards the deep end;
The dark waters with their mystery...
Seem to beckon you and your misery,
Talking like its cold embrace will warm you,
It's asking for your life and to guide you.

Leaning forward into the abyss
The wind whipping past your ears seem to hiss
As...

Flowing Downward

Run by gravity,
Jumping, climbing over rocks,
Releasing small sounds.

A high trend economically tries a downward spiral of many neighborhood cries. Due to the mind altering ways abused violence gets a cheer as the young silence drops a tear. Nobility runs short and none lacks the necessary fear. This age has painted over the...

It’s a heavy world we're stuck to
Pushing us down in the crust
Until our bodies, bent from the weight,
are disposed of in the dust
Day by day, our shoulders slump 
Lower the longer we live
Maroon bags pull down our faces
Short falls shatter our hips
Spines crush from the...

Crying is,

Imminent to happen

Tears falling

Rolling downward....
